Yesterday, PickupTrucks.com announced the results of its "Texas Truck Showdown Max MPG" fuel economy challenge. The competition matched up various efficient truck models for head-to-head mileage, payload, and performance tests. Here at Ford of Smithtown, we were excited to see that the 2016 F-150 EcoBoost earned the top spot in the competition. Thanks to an ideal combination of class-leading fuel economy, impressive capability, and performance, F-150 EcoBoost surpassed strong competition from Silverado and Ram 150 EcoDiesel to take the victory.

Mark Williams, editor of PickupTrucks.com, said of the F-150 EcoBoost: “In the end, we were impressed with the F-150 for its capability, fuel efficiency and composure when pushed hard. For a small V-6 engine, it’s very impressive how well it almost eliminates the typical compromises half-ton customers have become accustomed to.”

The F-150 EcoBoost's 2.7-liter engine produces 325 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque while delivering best-in-class fuel economy ratings of 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined.

“We designed Ford F-150 to be a game changer,” said Doug Scott, Ford truck group marketing manager. “We’re proud that customers and third parties recognize the all-new F-150 as the toughest, smartest, most capable and most efficient F-150 ever.”
