Ford has released the fuel economy figures of the 2017 Ford F-150 pickup which goes on sale in the U.S. market later this month. The new model is more efficient despite the power and torque increments.
The 2017 Ford F-150 is available with the all-new, second generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 gasoline engine that produces 375 hp and 470 lb.-ft. (637.23 Nm) of torque, 10 hp and 50 lb.-ft. more than the first generation engine in the 2016 Ford F-150. The improved EPA-estimated fuel economy figures in city, highway and combined driving are 18/25/21 mpg (+1/+1/+1 mpg) for the 4x2 model and 17/23/20 mpg (+1/+1/+2 mpg) for the 4x4 model.
Changes incorporated in the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine for the second generation are, a new twin-port and direct-injection fuel strategy, lighter and stronger crank and valvetrain components, redesigned twin turbocharger with electronic wastegate, and redesigned valvetrain and variable-displacement oil pump.
