What is the real highway fuel consumption of the 3.5T Raptor?
2 Answers
Ford 3.5T Raptor's highway fuel consumption is around 16.7L/100km. Below is more information about fuel consumption: 1. Factors affecting fuel consumption: The driver's habits, road conditions, weight of items placed in the vehicle, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, among other factors, can all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. 2. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: (1) Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving. (2) Avoid overloading the vehicle and keeping the fuel tank full. (3) Avoid using high-viscosity engine oil. (4) Try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brakes.
My 3.5T Raptor typically consumes around 14 liters per 100 kilometers when driving on the highway. I remember during my last long-distance trip, covering 1,200 kilometers while maintaining a cruising speed of 100-120 km/h with the air conditioning on, the actual measured fuel consumption was 13.8L/100km. If the car is fully loaded with passengers or heavy luggage, the fuel consumption can jump to 16 liters, but it’s more economical when lightly loaded or empty. Aerodynamic drag is a significant issue—due to the vehicle’s tall and large profile, opening windows or driving in high winds noticeably increases fuel consumption. Regularly checking tire pressure is crucial; I recommend inflating them to the manufacturer’s suggested values, which can also improve fuel efficiency. Overall, it’s comfortable and powerful on the highway, though fuel costs are higher compared to a regular sedan. But you get used to it, especially given its utility for hauling cargo. If you want better fuel economy, use cruise control and avoid aggressive acceleration.
