The aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 has yet to receive official EPA fuel economy numbers, but Motor Trend's own emissions experts recently gathered some data on the truck's new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6, and the results look promising.
A 2015 Ford F-150 SuperCab Lariat 4x4 equipped with the twin-turbo 2.7-liter achieved 16.6/21.5/18.5 mpg city/highway/combined in our Real MPG tests. That's less thirsty than a 2015 Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 with the 5.3-liter V-8 Crew Cab we recently tested, which returned 13/19/15.2 mpg. The reigning Truck of the Year champ, the 2014 Ram 1500, scored 18.6/25.8/21.2 mpg in 4x4 EcoDiesel trim.
