Need to handle some serious towing and hauling, but don't want to destroy the planet while you do it?
For years, pickup trucks were considered one of the least eco-friendly vehicles you could drive. Owners weigh the cost and benefit of poor fuel economy vs capability and utility. But what if you didn't have to compromise?
The 2017 Ford F-150 is back with a brand-new engine and transmission that make it more fuel-efficient than ever, while boosting both horsepower and torque. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine dishes up 375 horsepower and a walloping 470 pound-feet of torque -- more torque than any other truck in its segment, including V8 competitors.
How can it topple the completion in performance, yet still offer better fuel economy than the 2016 model?
The 2017 F-150 will be the first high-volume production vehicle ever with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Featuring closer ratios between gears, adaptive shift-scheduling, and non-sequential shifting, the new transmission is not only lighter and more efficient, it gives drivers more control when towing, too.
As always, you can count on the Ford F-150 to be made with environmentally responsible materials, including soy-foam seat cushions, rice-hull-reinforced plastics, and REPREVE® fabric made from recycled bottles.
