3.3L Ti-VCT V6 Engine

Ti-VCT V6 Engine

The engine that comes standard on the 2021 Ford F-150 is a 3.3L V6. It can produce as much as 290 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. With the 4x2 drivetrain, it delivers an EPA-estimated 20 city/24 highway MPG, helping you make less gas station stops when traveling from one worksite to another.

If you want more stability through slick conditions, such as ice, sleet, or mud, upgrade to the 4x4 drivetrain. This feature requires more power, so fuel economy will drop slightly to an EPA-estimated 19 city/22 highway MPG.

2.7L EcoBoost® V6 Engine

The 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 motor is the next engine in the F-150 lineup. This available engine exhibits a maximum output of 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

In addition to a greater power output, this powertrain upgrades efficiency to an EPA-estimated 20 city/26 highway MPG with the 4x2 drivetrain. The 4x4 drivetrain decreases this slightly to an EPA-estimated 18 city/24 highway MPG.

5.0L Ti-VCT V8 Engine

5.0L Ti-VCT V8 Engine

The 5.0L V8 engine comes up with a commanding 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. In terms of gas mileage, it offers an EPA-estimated 17 city/24 highway MPG when equipped with the 4x2 drivetrain and an EPA-estimated 16 city/22 highway MPG with the 4x4 drivetrain.

3.5L EcoBoost® V6 Engine

The 2021 Ford F-150 is also available with a 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine. This motor pumps out up to 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to this outstanding power output, it’s a good option for drivers who need to haul a large camper or a 2-horse trailer since it achieves a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds when properly equipped.

However, this brawny powertrain is so much more than just muscle. With the 4x2 drivetrain, it can give you an EPA-estimated 18 city/24 highway MPG. The 4x4 drivetrain makes it possible for you to get an EPA-estimated 18 city/23 highway MPG with this engine.

High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 Engine

High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost

The High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine can generate a beastly 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. This motor is found exclusively in the Tremor and the Raptor trim levels and paired with the more robust 4x4 system.

Adventure seekers will love these trims due to their thrilling blend of off-road features. Plus, they have great fuel economy to keep you exploring for longer. If you choose the Tremor trim, you’ll be treated to an EPA-estimated 16 city/20 highway MPG. The Raptor trim is also impressive with an EPA-estimated 15 city/18 highway MPG.

3.0L Power Stroke® V6 Engine

Looking for an alternative to the traditional gas engine? Then, you have two options available to you in the 2021 Ford F-150. First up, there’s the 3.0L Power Stroke® V6 engine.  

This turbo diesel engine produces a satisfying output of 250 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. However, it’s best known for the impressive fuel efficiency it achieves. Since diesel fuel is denser than traditional gas, it burns slower and helps you make the most out of your fuel tank.

The result is an EPA-estimated 20 city/27 highway MPG for the standard 4x4 system—perfect for taking road trips or work rides without having to stop too often for fueling up.

3.5L PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid V6 Engine

3.5L PowerBoost

The final motor is the most revolutionary: A 3.5L PowerBoost™ full hybrid V6 powertrain. A first of its kind, this engine delivers a commanding blend of 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque. But, this isn’t all that makes this motor special.

Thanks to a combination with an electric motor, this engine is eco-friendly and earns an EPA-estimated 25 city/26 highway MPG with the 4x2 drivetrain and an EPA-estimated 24 city/24 highway MPG with the 4x4 drivetrain.


Explore for More Miles

Another important fuel aspect of the 2021 Ford F-150 is the bevy of fuel tank size options. With the Regular Cab and the SuperCab, you’ll be given a 23-gallon fuel tank while the SuperCrew model is outfitted with a 26-gallon tank.

If instead you opt for the extended range fuel capacity for the gas powertrains, you’ll be treated to a 36-gallon tank, no matter which cab option appeals to you.

The hybrid engine has its own 30.6-gallon fuel tank to provide you with nearly 800 miles of highway driving on just one tank of fuel.
