Ford F-150 mpg for 2015 is a mixed bag - Automotive News (blog)
In September, we crunched the numbers in an attempt to predict the fuel economy ratings for the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 pickup. Today, Ford finally released those long-awaited official EPA numbers for its lightweight aluminum truck. Some are not, and those are the ones that Ford would prefer you didn’t dwell on. So let’s cut to the chase: In round one of aluminum vs. diesel, diesel wins. Ford’s new F-150 failed to knock off the pickup fuel economy champ, the 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. At 26 mpg highway, Ford’s most fuel efficient 2015 pickup is at least 2 mpg behind the Ram on paper. gov and elsewhere, and you will see Ram EcoDiesel drivers routinely report higher than window label numbers, while many Ford EcoBoost drivers realize mpg results slightly lower than the EPA window label number. Also, in road testing the 2. 7-liter F-150, most automotive journalists reported fuel economy in the high teens to low 20s. I got 20. 1 mpg this month. Ford offers the 2015 F-150 with four engines, but only two offer a direct apples-to-apples fuel economy comparison. The 2015 3. 5-liter turbo F-150 carries an EPA rating of 17 mpg city/24 highway/20 combined. Source: www.autonews.com
