Ford F-150: What’s Under Its Hood?
The Ford F-150 certainly isn’t lacking when it comes to power. While this is true, it also remains an efficient choice for Pennsylvania drivers. We know sometimes you need to travel far to deliver your loads, and with any of the F-150’s six available engine options, you can expect some impressive fuel economy.
Standard on the base trim, the 2020 Ford F-150 XL, is the 3.3-liter Ti-VCT V6 engine, which is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The transmission offers three selectable modes to suit your driving condition: Normal, Tow/Haul, and Sport. These modes play a huge role in the kind of MPG you’ll get during the ride; however, most of the time you can expect an EPA-estimated 19 city/25 highway MPG.¹
If you’re looking for a powertrain that delivers the best fuel ratings the 2020 F-150 has to offer, you’ll want to opt for the available 3.0L Power Stroke® V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. This dynamic duo helps your vehicle achieve an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG.¹
What’s the Ford F-150 Made Of?
You might be wondering, “How does a vehicle’s material relate to its MPG?” Well, its material is a major factor on the fuel ratings you’ll receive.
The Ford F-150 is made of a fully boxed high-strength steel frame with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body. The fact that the F-150’s body is made of aluminum-alloy is the reason you can expect such great fuel economy.
While the Ford F-150 is indeed tough and reliable, the aluminum-alloy body is a lightweight material, which reduces the body weight and chassis weight. Aluminum-alloy can cut the weight of a vehicle by up to 50%, which is why it’s able to receive such top-notch ratings.
How Can I Improve My Ford F-150 MPG?
Did you know your actions also have an impact on your efficiency? If you’re looking to increase your ratings, you might want to consider riding without any unnecessary cargo. The more weight your vehicle holds, the lower your fuel economy will be. You can also reduce drag, which means removing roof boxes or bike racks if they aren’t being used.
If you’re someone who’s a bit rough on their vehicle, this can also affect the kind of MPG you’re getting. When you’re coming to a stop, try to be gentle on your brakes. Also, use gravity to your advantage instead of hard acceleration.
