Ford F-150 MPG 4x4

Those drivers who want the 4x4 drivetrain can count on close stats as far as gas mileage goes. Your best bet for the ideal mileage comes with the 3.5L hybrid engine, which reaches an EPA-estimated 24 city/24 highway MPG, but you get an even better highway rate with the 3.0L engine. It achieves an EPA-estimated 20 city/27 highway MPG.

Comparable to the 4x2 drivetrain, the remaining engines deliver good gas mileage. In the front of the line, the 2.7L achieves an EPA-estimated 19 city/24 highway MPG. Next you have the 3.3L, which reaches an EPA-estimated 19 city/22 highway MPG.

Following, you have the 3.5L that reaches an EPA-estimated 18 city/23 highway MPG, and the 5.0L, which achieves an EPA-estimated 16 city/22 highway MPG. Whatever you choose, consider how far you plan to go and how much you plan to tow.
