gasoline pickup on the market
- When equipped with available 2.7-liter
EcoBoost® engine, new F-150 4x2 has EPA-estimated 19 mpg City, 26

- 2015 F-150 can tow as much as 1,110
pounds more, haul as much as 530 pounds more, has a 5 percent to 16
percent better power-to-weight ratio and new F-150 EPA fuel economy
ratings are 5 to 29 percent better than current models, depending
on engine
Ford advances to the next level in providing customers with more
fuel-efficient vehicles, as the new 2015 F-150 lineup includes the
highest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of any gasoline-powered
full-size pickup sold in America.
Up to 700 pounds lighter than current models, the new F-150 4x2
with Ford’s 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine has EPA-estimated ratings of
19 mpg City, 26 mpg Highway and 22 mpg Combined. That is 5 percent
to 29 percent better than current F-150 models, depending on engine
and driveline configuration on the combined cycle.
“We set out to create the future of tough with the new F-150,”
said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product
Development. “We are delivering with the toughest, smartest and
most capable F-150 ever – and now the highest EPA-estimated fuel
economy ratings of any full-size gas-powered pickup in
America.”
The improved performance is enabled by saving weight through the
use of high-strength steel and high-strength, military-grade,
aluminum alloys plus smart engineering. The weight savings not only
improve fuel efficiency, they improve the new F-150’s capability
and performance. Combined with EcoBoost engine technology, the
F-150 now tows as much as 1,100 more pounds and hauls as much as
530 pounds more than today’s model with a 5 percent to 16 percent
better power-to-weight ratio.
Ford is producing trucks and now has started shipping the
all-new pickups to its dealers.
Delivering Ford’s Blueprint for Sustainability
The F-150’s fuel economy leadership pays off two key elements of
Ford’s Blueprint for Sustainability – making high volumes of
internal combustion engines as efficient as possible through
EcoBoost technology and achieving substantial vehicle weight
savings.
Introduced in 2007, the Blueprint is a plan of near-, mid- and
long-term product and technology actions that incorporate
fuel-saving technologies into the company’s vehicles, while
continuing development of breakthrough technologies.
Today, Ford has 2 million EcoBoost engines on the road in cars,
utilities and trucks.
EcoBoost technology was first offered for F-150 customers in
early 2011 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine. To date, Ford has
sold 600,000 F-150 trucks equipped with 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines,
helping Ford customers save an estimated 68 million gallons of
gasoline.
New truck, even more engine choices
Ford offers new F-150 customers four engine choices: the
available 2.7-liter EcoBoost with standard Auto Start-Stop, a new
standard 3.5-liter V6 Ti-VCT engine, a more powerful available
5.0-liter V8 Ti-VCT engine and an available premium 3.5-liter
EcoBoost engine.
These trucks represent a substantial improvement over trucks of
the past. Owners of seven- or eight-year-old trucks who are in the
market for a new truck may be surprised by the impressive
capability of the 2015 F-150. For example, returning owners of 2008
model year F-150s could see EPA-estimated fuel economy rating
improvements of up to 43 percent and power-to-weight increases of
up to 46 percent, while towing could improve as much as 3,900
pounds and payload could improve as much as 1,390 pounds, depending
on engine and configuration.

Better Value, Too
Equipped with 2.7-liter EcoBoost, the all-new F-150 is a better
value than even diesel-powered pickups. For instance, the $495
option on the Ford is significantly less than the $4,470 3.0-liter
Ram EcoDiesel option.
In addition, with diesel prices currently 76 cents per gallon
more6 at the pump, each 3.0-liter Ram EcoDiesel fill-up costs over
$24 more than the new 2.7-liter F-1507. That means at today’s fuel
prices Ram EcoDiesel owners are not able to offset the additional
cost of their EcoDiesel engines with fuel savings8.
“Once again, the Ford F-150 establishes new standards in
durability, capability and efficiency, defining the future of
tough,” said Nair.
