What engine does the Ford F-150 use?
3 Answers
Ford F-150 uses a 3.5-liter six-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine, which can meet the power demands of most users. In the Chinese market, the Ford F-150 is also known as the Raptor. It is a four-door, five-seat pickup truck produced by Ford, with body dimensions of 5910mm in length, 2192mm in width, and 1992mm in height, making it an imported model. The entire Ford F-150 lineup is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This transmission features multiple gears, allowing for optimal gear selection to match the vehicle's speed, keeping the engine RPM within a relatively low range, thereby improving the vehicle's fuel efficiency.
I've been driving my F-150 for over three years now, and I'm most familiar with that 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost engine. The truck feels a bit sluggish when starting off before the turbos kick in, but once the revs climb past 2,000 rpm, you really feel that push in your back—it tows my camping trailer with rock-solid stability. My friend's top-spec Limited trim even comes with a hybrid system, and that initial electric motor assist at traffic lights makes for an especially sprightly takeoff. It's a shame they discontinued the 5.0L V8 in last year's update, but the current full-line 3.5T setup is nearly 30% more fuel-efficient than the old V8. Filling up the tank easily gets you 700 kilometers of range.
The F-150's powertrain lineup includes: a base model with a 3.3L V6 naturally aspirated engine producing 285 horsepower, sufficient for daily use; the main options are the 2.7T and 3.5T EcoBoost engines, both with maximum torque exceeding 500 N·m; performance enthusiasts can opt for the 5.0L Coyote V8, which delivers 430 horsepower, making towing a yacht effortless. The hybrid version is particularly noteworthy, pairing a 3.5T engine with a 35 kW electric motor for a combined output of 430 horsepower and approximately 20% lower fuel consumption compared to the standard version. All models come standard with a 10-speed automatic transmission, featuring close gear ratios for nearly imperceptible shifts.
