How Efficient Is the 2024 Ford F-150 Truck?
Armed with innovative Ford EcoBoost® turbocharged engine technology, Ford F-150 models deliver more power than many competitors and in many cases, better fuel economy.
With the expanded availability of the Ford F-150’s 430-horsepower 3.5-liter PowerBoost™ Hybrid powertrain, the Ford F-150 promises incredible fuel economy.

Ford F-150 Fuel Economy vs Competitors
The Ford F-150 PowerBoost™ Hybrid delivers the best MPG in the lineup, but how does it stack up against competitors like the Chevy Silverado 1500 and RAM 1500?
The Chevy Silverado 1500 is available with several engine options, led by a fuel-efficient 310-horsepower 2.7-liter Turbo four-cylinder that gets 19 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway. The Chevy Silverado 1500 is also available with a 3.0-liter Duramax® Turbo Diesel that delivers an impressive 24 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway, which still doesn’t quite meet the high standards of the Ford F-150 PowerBoost™ Hybrid in the city.
The RAM 1500 targets higher fuel-economy numbers with an e-Torque 48-volt Mild Hybrid System that can be applied to a few engine options. Entry-level RAM 1500 models have a 305-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with e-Torque that gets 20 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. Upgraded RAM 1500 models are equipped with a 395-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 with e-Torque that nets 17 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway.
What Factors Affect Ford F-150s Fuel Efficiency?
The trim level you choose is key in determining your F-150’s fuel efficiency. Each trim comes with unique features, diverse engine choices, drivetrains, and sometimes even alterations in weight or aerodynamics, all of which have an impact on your fuel efficiency. Higher-tier trims often come with more robust engines, which means higher power output. This is great–and sometimes necessary–for a work truck but can bring your fuel economy down.
Additionally, larger wheels, tech enhancements, or specialized towing capabilities in higher trims influence the vehicle’s weight and aerodynamics, all of which directly impact overall fuel efficiency.
On the other hand, lower trims might feature smaller, more fuel-efficient engines, meaning more miles per gallon. To make an informed choice, take a look at each trim level’s features, engine variations, and specifications. This will help you gauge how each factor affects the overall fuel economy you can expect from your F-150.
