New F-150 gets best EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings on the market

The only thing more anticipated than the arrival of the 2015 Ford F-150 on dealerships lots later this winter was the trucks’ fuel economy ratings. One of those waits came to an end Friday. 

Up to 700 pounds lighter than current models, the new F-150 4×2 with Ford’s 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine has EPA-estimated ratings of 19 mpg City, 26 mpg Highway and 22 mpg combined – a 5 percent to 29 percent better than current F-150 models, depending on engine and driveline configuration on the combined cycle.

The new 2015 F-150 lineup includes the highest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of any gasoline-powered full-size pickup sold in America
