🧠 What This Means
-
Most efficient: The PowerBoost hybrid delivers the best city mileage and strong highway economy for a full‑size pickup.
-
Turbo V6 options: The 2.7 L EcoBoost generally offers competitive all‑around fuel economy for light‑to‑medium duty use.
-
Traditional engines: The naturally aspirated V8 and larger turbo V6 are typical for a truck of this size but have lower mpg.
-
Performance models: Raptor and Raptor R trim levels are focused on power and off‑road performance rather than fuel economy.
🛣️ Typical Range Expectations
Because the F‑150 has a fairly large fuel tank (around 23–26+ gallons depending on configuration), the total driving range can often exceed 400–500+ miles on the highway with the more efficient engines — especially the hybrid or 2.7 L EcoBoost models.
📊 Summary Table

| 5.0 L V8 | ~16 mpg | ~24 mpg |

If you want, I can break this down further by trim level (e.g., XLT vs Platinum) or compare the F‑150’s economy with its main rivals like the Chevy Silverado 1500 or Ram 1500.
