DEARBORN, Mich. -- (Business Wire)
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.
The chart below compares the 2015 2.7-liter EcoBoost 4x2 F-150 to the
2008 4.6-liter V8 4x2 F-150, and to its current major competitors:

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.
