F-150 Engine Comparison

F-150 Engine Comparison

Aside from the standard horsepower and torque ratings, there are some other specs that may help you choose the right engine for you. Particularly impressive in the F-150 lineup is the compression ratio, which indicates how efficient the engine is. A typical compression ratio in the industry is 8:1 to 10:1. Anything 12:1 or higher indicates more power with less fuel used. To save more at the pump, you may also want to consider the fuel type, whether regular 87 octane gasoline, diesel, E85, or biofuel.

Of particular interest is the hybrid powertrain, which is the most powerful engine in the lineup while also conserving the most fuel. The introduction of this hybrid technology affects the other engines, too. You can now use an on-board generator based on the hybrid mechanics to supply your power tools, laptops, and other equipment with power produced in the bed of your truck.
