Ford F-150 Hybrid MPG & Engine Specs

If you’re wondering how the Ford F-150 hybrid can get an EPA-estimated gas mileage of 24 city/24 highway MPG, then look no farther than its powertrain. The hybrid F-150 comes with a 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 engine.

It’s a full hybrid engine because it doesn’t require you to plug it in to charge the battery. Instead, it relies on efficient technology like regenerative braking to charge its battery. Not only is it smart, but the turbocharged 3.5L PowerBoost® V6 engine is also powerful. It delivers the following specs:

• 430 combined horsepower
• 570 lb-ft of torque

This engine pairs with an electric motor and a 10-speed Modular Hybrid Transmission (MHT). The MHT is exclusive to Ford hybrid vehicles like the F-150. Unlike many hybrid powertrains, this one maintains its torque converter, which helps your pickup maintain its utility.

In fact, the Ford F-150 Hybrid can tow up to 12,400 pounds with its 4x4 drivetrain. With 2-wheel drive (4x2), it can haul up to 12,700 pounds.

How to Improve Your Ford F-150 Hybrid Gas Mileage

While the components built into your truck are highly important for improving the gas mileage of your Ford F-150 hybrid, there are a variety of simple things you can do to help ensure that you get the most efficiency from your vehicle. These include:

• Scheduling regular maintenance
• Keeping your tires inflated properly
• Avoiding quick starts and stops
• Turning off your car when you’re not actively driving

The first two points are especially important to keep in mind. Routine maintenance is vital, not just for your fuel efficiency, but also for your uptime. We recommend checking your tire pressure monthly to ensure your tires are inflated to the proper PSI as indicated by your owner’s manual.

Also, be sure to schedule an oil change every 7,500-10,000 miles, and never go longer than a year between oil changes. Running on dirty oil can lead to performance issues, including a decrease in overall efficiency. Visiting your dealership’s service center at regular intervals will ensure that your oil is fresh and clean.
