Fuel-Efficient Technology
How does an engine balance the demands for fuel economy and performance? Advanced technology is a big part of the answer.
The power you want. The efficiency you need
• Twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) is standard in the 3.7L V6, 5.0L V8 and 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engines. With its precise variable, yet independent, control over intake/exhaust valve timing, Ti-VCT helps make possible higher fuel economy numbers as well as power ratings.
• The innovative 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine uses the precise fuel delivery of direct injection at each cylinder plus the high-performance capability of twin turbocharging.
• The electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission, standard with all engines, has close-ratio gearing optimized for low-end performance and high-end efficiency.
• Electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) is standard with the 3.7L Ti-VCT V6, 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 and 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engines. EPAS helps improve fuel economy* because it eliminates the conventional hydraulic belt-driven gear system that draws power (and efficiency) from the engine.

The power you want. The efficiency you need
More than ever, with today’s high prices at the pump, you need to operate as efficiently as possible, but not at the expense of power. That’s why the Ford F-150 offers the available 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine, designed with direct-injection technology and twin turbocharging to optimize power and fuel economy. The impressive F-150 engine lineup also includes the standard 3.7L Ti-VCT V6, posting a highway rating of 23 miles per gallon, plus potent 5.0L Ti-VCT and big-bore 6.2L V8 power.
Electronic 6-Speed Transmission with Tow/Haul Mode
The standard electronic 6-speed close-ratio transmission has a wide gear ratio for responsive low-end performance and enhanced fuel efficiency at the higher gears. The selectable tow/haul mode improves performance when towing or hauling heavy loads. It compensates for grade and load and reduces gear hunting, improving power delivery. Engine braking also helps slow the truck when descending hills.

Outstanding Towing Capability
Buying a full-size pickup? Here are some hard facts to think about: The F-150 can haul more cargo (maximum 3,120 lbs.) than any of its competitors and has huge Class V trailer towing capability (maximum 11,300 lbs.). With a rugged fully boxed frame as the foundation of its Built Ford Tough engineering, the F-150 is tested under the harshest real-world conditions to deliver the capability you expect, day in and day out.
Best-in-Class Payload
The F-150 continues its tradition of delivering the best-in-class maximum payload capability of 3,120 pounds. And that’s not all. The available tailgate step and box side steps, both class-exclusive features, provide easy access to all that payload.
Toughness matched by comfort and quality
The road might be bad. The weather too. But you’ll experience a smooth and quiet ride inside the comfortable F-150. And there’s the assurance that comes with being surrounded by a sturdy steel cage and features such as the Safety Canopy System with side-curtain airbags — features that helped earn the F-150 SuperCrew models a 2013 Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Your job made easier. And you more productive
F-150 offers class-exclusive box side and tailgate steps that make it easy to access the bed. There’s an LCD productivity screen that provides important fuel economy information, towing and off-road data. And, of course, there’s available SYNC and all the ways you’re kept connected and informed with intuitive touch controls or simple voice commands. It’s all about innovation, creating ways to help you do things more conveniently, more productively.
