The Ford F-150 MPG can be as high as an EPA-estimated 22/24 MPG (City/Highway) 1 when you choose the available PowerBoost full-hybrid engine, or an EPA-estimated 19/25 MPG (City/Highway) 1 when you opt for an EcoBoost engine. The F-150 makes personal and light-duty work tasks even easier to achieve; to see all the impressive 2024 Ford F-150 gas mileage specs, read on. Then, to see everything else this iconic pickup has to offer, visit Bell Ford or your local Ford dealership for a test drive.
There are six engines available in the Ford F-150, and each will cause the Ford F-150 MPG to vary. We won't be focusing on the 5.2-liter supercharged V-8, which is exclusively available in the F-150 Raptor R, as MPGs are the last thing anyone has in mind when they buy a 720-horsepower off-road truck. If you are curious, though, this performance-first engine delivers an EPA-estimated 10/15 MPG (City/Highway). 1
The other five engine options are as follows:
This engine lineup lets the F-150 adapt to every driver's needs. Some prefer the rumbling soundtrack, strong low-end torque output, and delightful smoothness of a classic V-8, while others love the enhanced fuel economy Ford F-150 trucks provide with hybrid power. Whether you choose the base-level 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine or any other, strong specs and MPGs are guaranteed.
As for the precise numbers, the Ford F-150 MPG ratings with each engine are as follows:

| EPA-Estimated MPG (City/Hwy/Comb) w/ 2WD | EPA-Estimated MPG (City/Hwy/Comb) w/ 4WD | |
|---|---|---|
| 2.7L EcoBoost V-6 | 19 / 25 / 21 1 | 18 / 23 / 20 1 |
| 5.0L V-8 | 16 / 24 / 19 1 | 16 / 24 / 19 1 |
| 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 | 17 / 25 / 20 1 | 16 / 24 / 19 1 |
| 3.5L PowerBoost Full-Hybrid V-6 | N/A | 22 / 24 / 23 1 |
| High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 | N/A | 14 / 18 / 16 1 |
| High-Output 5.2L Supercharged V-8 | N/A | 10 / 15 / 12 1 |
We must note that the Ford F-150 PowerBoost MPG ratings can appear to be a bit higher when you look at previous years, which is due to the 2024 F-150 only offering the PowerBoost engine with a 4WD drivetrain. Not much has changed in terms of this configuration's fuel efficiency, as both 2023 and 2024 F-150 trucks with the PowerBoost engine and 4WD deliver an EPA-estimated 23 MPG (Combined). 1 However, the 2023 model offered the option of a PowerBoost engine with 2WD, which resulted in one of the highest Ford F-150 MPG ratings of all time: an EPA-estimated 25/25/25 MPG (City/Highway/Combined). 1
The Ford F-150 diesel MPG ratings, likewise, only exist in F-150 trucks from 2021 or earlier, as the F-150 diesel option was discontinued on the 2022 model. The good news is that you can often find used F-150 trucks with a diesel engine or the extra-efficient Powerboost and 2WD configuration today at our Ford dealer in Phoenix, AZ .
Consult the chart below to see the Ford F-150 gas tank size and fuel requirements:
ā Drag to scroll ā
| Fuel Requirement | Fuel Tank Size | |
|---|---|---|
| 2.7L EcoBoost V-6 | Regular gasoline |
|
| 5.0L V-8 | Regular gasoline |
|
| 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 | Regular gasoline |
|
| 3.5L PowerBoost Full-Hybrid V-6 | Regular gasoline | 30.6 gal |
| High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 | Premium gasoline | 36 gal |
| High-Output 5.2L Supercharged V-8 | Premium gasoline | 36 gal |
As a special note, the Regular Cab and SuperCab versions of most F-150 engines can be equipped with the available 36-gallon Ford F-150 fuel tank size as an option ā it comes standard on SuperCrew configurations.
The Ford F-150 MPG ratings are certainly impressive, but as with every spec on this truck, they don't exist in a vacuum. The Chevy Silverado 1500, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tundra are the competition, but frankly, they can't compete.
For starters, none of these trucks are capable of equalling or exceeding the F-150 truck's 13,500-pound maximum towing capacity. 2
Comparing the standard engines in each truck, the Silverado 1500 falls behind. The Chevy truck's standard 2.7-liter TurboMax four-cylinder engine delivers up to an EPA-estimated 18/22 MPG (City/Highway), 4 which is far behind the standard F-150 engine's EPA-estimated 19/25 MPG (City/Highway). 1 Also remember, the standard F-150 EcoBoost engine is a V-6, not a four-cylinder like in the Chevy truck.
The Ford F-150 EcoBoost MPG ratings continue to smack down competing trucks, such as the Ram 1500.
Comparing MPGs with top-towing engines, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 propels the F-150 with up to 13,500 pounds of towing power 2 and an EPA-estimated 17/25 MPG (City/Highway). 1 In the 2024 Ram 1500, the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 delivers the model's highest towing capacity of 12,750 pounds (when properly equipped) and up to an EPA-estimated 18/23 MPG (City/Highway). 5
With 750 pounds less towing capability and two less highway MPGs only offset by one more city MPG, 1, 5 the Ram 1500 just can't keep up.
Finally, here's the Toyota brand's attempt to compete with all new Ford trucks : the Tundra.
The Tundra has hybrid power as a calling card. But, with a maximum towing capacity of 12,000 pounds (when properly equipped) and a maximum EPA-estimated hybrid gas mileage rating of 20/24 MPG (City/Highway) 6 going up against the EPA-estimated hybrid Ford F-150 MPG of 22/24 MPG (City/Highway), 1 the Tundra is left out in the cold. To make matters worse for Toyota, this highest MPG rating is with 2WD, while the Ford F-150 MPG rating accounts for efficiency-reducing 4WD. That's further proof of the F-150 truck's might.

The Ford F-150 PowerBoost Full-Hybrid gets the best mileage out of all the 2024 Ford F-150 trucks, delivering an EPA-estimated 22/24 MPG (City/Highway) 1 with 4WD. In second place for the 2024 model year, the F-150 with a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 and 2WD delivers an EPA-estimated 19/25 MPG (City/Highway). 1
The Ford F-150 5.0-liter V-8 is surprisingly efficient for a big V-8 and can deliver an EPA-estimated gas mileage of 16/24 MPG (City/Highway). 1 The EPA has provided this gas mileage rating for both RWD and 4WD F-150 trucks with the 5.0-liter V-8, so you can expect excellent mileage no matter which drivetrain you select.
In many ways the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 is better than the 5.0-liter V-8, such as the Ford F-150 MPG ratings. The EcoBoost V-6 delivers up to an EPA-estimated 17/25 MPG (City/Highway) 1 while the V-8 delivers an EPA-estimated 16/24 MPG (City/Highway). 1 The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 also makes more torque.
