Efficient
Performance
The Ford F-150 diesel engine is a potent 3.0-liter Power
Stroke that helps you save on fuel costs. It has official EPA-estimated
ratings of 30 mpg on the highway, 22 mpg in the city, and 25 mpg combined.
That’s a big deal, because no other full-size pickup truck on the market today
rivals that kind of fuel efficiency. In other words, you’ll be spending less to
keep this vehicle running day after day versus the competition.
Not too long ago, the dream of driving a full-size pickup
truck that could attain 30 mpg on the highway seemed unrealistic. Yet today,
Ford has reached that milestone before any other automaker, demonstrating once
again it’s a leader when it comes to innovative designs.
Of course, one of the key elements of these amazing fuel
efficiency ratings from the EPA has been Ford’s work in perfecting the F-150
platform. For over a decade, the automaker has perfected its high-strength,
military-grade, aluminum-alloy body that’s also quite lightweight. The Power
Stroke engine also helps to shed some pounds from the truck, thanks to its
aluminum and compacted graphite iron construction that still boasts amazing
durability.
That engine works with the 10-speed SelectShift automatic
transmission. With so many gears, it can keep the Power Stroke diesel running
in the most optimal rpm range possible, improving responsiveness, power output,
and fuel efficiency at once.
Speaking of power, the 3.0-liter Power Stroke diesel engine
provides plenty. Not only do you enjoy a solid 250-horsepower, the setup boasts
an amazing 440 lb.-ft. of torque, out-muscling other full-size pickups. That
translates into a maximum towing capacity of 11,400 pounds, which is plenty for
taking along a boat, RV, horse trailer, or whatever. The payload rating comes
in at 2,020 pounds for both XL and XLT fleet models, or 1,940 pounds for retail
models, which allows you to really load up the bed with heavy burdens.

Enhancements
Not only will you be able to tow and haul with the best,
while also saving on fuel with the 2018 Ford F-150 Power Stroke diesel, the
truck will feature an excellent array of equipment.
Currently, the Ford F-150 lineup offers some clever
equipment to help you work smart. One example is the Sync 3 system with
Sync Connect. Not only do you get to use intuitive voice controls to do
everything from control the sound system to plotting navigation routes,
FordPass allows you to perform certain functions away from the truck. Use it to
remember where you parked, actuate the door locks, check the fuel level, and
even set a time to remotely start the engine.
