Ford F-150 at the Texas Truck Showdown Max MPG<\/h3>\n

For the Pickuptrucks.com Texas Truck Showdown Max MPG fuel economy challenge, the 2016 Ford F-150 was pitted against top competitors like the Ram 1500 outfitted with the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 and the Chevy Silverado with a 5.3-liter V8. Trucks were judged not just on the straight mileage numbers. Rather Pickuptruck.com also looked at capability and performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, we were impressed with the F-150 for its capability, fuel efficiency and composure when pushed hard,” said Mark Williams, editor of PickupTrucks.com, in a recent press release. \u201cFor a small V6 engine, it\u2019s very impressive how well it almost eliminates the typical compromises half-ton customers have become accustomed to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ecoboost Mileage and Engine Output<\/h3>\n

The 2.7-liter Ecoboost on the 2016 Ford F-150<\/a> is rated for 325 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque. Yet, thanks to standardefficiency technology like Auto Stop-Start<\/a>, the F-150 can still deliver on EPA-estimate gasoline mileage of 19 mpg in city driving and 26 mpg on the highway with two-wheel drive. This extreme efficiency is part of what has earned this truck both the Green Truck of the Year Award<\/a> and a Kelley Blue Book long term value award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even though the Ecoboost won’t cost you much at the pump, it can still deliver on top capability. When properly equipped, this truck can handle a maximum payload of 2,250 pounds and tow up to 8,500 pounds.<\/p>\n

Thirty percent of Ford F-150 buyers choose this engine for this excellent combination of efficiency and effectiveness. Schedule your test drive at Akins Ford today<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
