Ford F-150 data analysis

Best combined MPG: 25 MPG

Best combined figure for the Ford F-150 is 25 MPG (2023, SIDI; Hybrid; with Stop-Start) — thirsty for its era, where a mid-size sedan returns 32 MPG on the same cycle. The weakest is 12 MPG (2023, Auto (S10), 8 cyl, 5.2 L). At 15,000 miles a year and $3.50/gal that is $2,100 against $4,375 — a $2,275 annual swing, enough to outweigh most price differences between two used examples. The Ford F-150 leads every standard pickup trucks in our data. The cohort median is 21.5 MPG, so this vehicle sits 3.5 MPG above the middle of the field. Immediately behind: the Toyota Tundra at 22 MPG. The 2026 model averages 19 MPG across 12 configurations. The efficiency peak is the 2023 car, not the newest one — usually a weight or all-wheel-drive change rather than a worse engine.

City versus highway

25 city / 25 highway on the 2023 Ford F-150. City beats highway by 0 MPG — hybrid behaviour. Regenerative braking earns more in traffic than steady cruising does, so urban drivers get the best of this powertrain. Expect 10–15% under the EPA figure in real use. Cold starts, roof boxes and 80 mph cruising widen that gap. EPA's own annual cost estimate for the best configuration is $2,450. Tailpipe CO₂ is 352 g/mile, about 5.3 metric tons a year.

What drives the spread

150 EPA-tested configurations across 2018–2026. Drivetrain is the biggest lever: Rear-Wheel Drive, Part-time 4-Wheel Drive versions are certified separately and rarely land within 2 MPG of each other. 12 distinct engine descriptions appear in the record, which is why quoting one figure for the nameplate misleads. Fuel types on file: Regular, Premium, Gasoline or E85, Diesel. Every number here comes from the manufacturer's certification filing to the EPA for that exact configuration — the same data behind the window sticker. Sources for these 150 rows: manufacturer filings, covering 9 model years.

How Ford F-150 combined fuel economy varies

Across 150 configurations recorded for the 2018 through 2026 Ford F-150, combined fuel economy runs from 12 MPG to 25 MPG. The strongest figure belongs to the 2019 Ford F-150 (Auto (S10), 6 cyl, 3.0 L) at 25 MPG, and the weakest to the 2026 car (Auto (S10), 8 cyl, 5.2 L) at 12 MPG — a spread of 108%. A gap that wide means the model year and configuration you buy matter more than the nameplate does: quoting a single number for the Ford F-150 would be misleading.

What changed for 2026

Average combined fuel economy for the 2026 Ford F-150 is 19 MPG, against 18.5 MPG for the 2025 car — it rose by 0.5 MPG. That is a real improvement, and it is the kind of change worth paying the newer-year premium for if this figure drives your decision.

Configurations behind these Ford F-150 numbers

The 2018 through 2026 Ford F-150 entries here cover the variants Auto (S10), 6 cyl, 2.7 L, Auto (S10), 6 cyl, 3.5 L, Auto (S10), 8 cyl, 5.0 L, Auto (S10), 8 cyl, 5.2 L, Auto (S10), 6 cyl, 3.3 L, Auto (S10), 6 cyl, 3.0 L and Auto (S6), 6 cyl, 3.3 L. 2019 is the busiest model year in the record with 28 separate measured configurations, which is why a single quoted combined fuel economy figure for that year is rarely the one that matches the car in front of you. Match the row to the exact drivetrain, body style and engine on the window sticker or VIN before relying on the number, and use the comparison links below to see how those same configurations line up against rival models.

Our Real-World Speed MPG Adjuster re-scales the Ford F-150 EPA highway result with a quadratic drag term (mpg = hwy ÷ (1 + k·(v² − 60²)/60²), k = 0.55 for trucks, SUVs and vans, 0.42 for cars). Wind, roof racks, and a heavy right foot make it worse, never better.
