Ford F-150 MPG, gas tank size, and towing

A 2026 Ford F-150 gets 19 to 21 mpg combined with a gas engine and two-wheel drive, and the PowerBoost hybrid is rated 24 mpg, according to the EPA. Four-wheel drive costs about 1 mpg. The gas tank holds 23, 26, or 36 gallons depending on the cab and options (30.6 on the hybrid), and the truck can tow up to 13,500 lb when it’s properly equipped. Your own numbers depend on the engine, axle, tires, and load.

F-150 generations at a glance

  • 2008: the last year of the 11th generation, with a 4.2-liter V6 or a 4.6-liter or 5.4-liter V8.
  • 2009–2010: a new body, V8 only (4.6 and 5.4 liters).
  • 2011–2014: new engines: a 3.7-liter V6, a 5.0-liter V8, a 6.2-liter V8, and the first 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6.
  • 2015–2020: an aluminum body. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost arrived, a 10-speed automatic followed in 2017–2018, and a 3.0-liter Power Stroke diesel was offered for 2018–2020.
  • 2021 and later: the 14th generation, adding the 3.5-liter PowerBoost full hybrid. The Raptor R with a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 joined for 2023.

F-150 gas mileage by year

Pick your model year to see the EPA ratings for the four-wheel-drive F-150 (4x4, 4x4 flex-fuel, 4x4 hybrid, and the Raptor R). The F-150 has more EPA versions than almost any vehicle, so the table leaves out two-wheel drive; a 4x2 with the same engine is usually rated the same or 1 to 2 mpg higher (for 2026, the 2.7L is 21 mpg as a 4x2 and 20 as a 4x4). All versions are on fueleconomy.gov. Flex-fuel trucks can run on E85, which lowers the mpg; see E15 and E85 gas.

F-150 gas tank size and range

There is no single F-150 gas tank size. Ford sizes the tank by cab and options, so check your window sticker or owner’s manual for your truck.

2015–2017, standard tank23.0 gal
2018–2025, Regular Cab and SuperCab, standard23.0 gal

2021–2025, 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid30.6 gal
2021, 3.0L Power Stroke diesel26.0 gal

From the 2015, 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2024 F-150 owner’s manuals. Years not listed: check your manual.

Range is the tank size times your mpg. A 2026 PowerBoost 4x4 rated at 23 mpg has a ceiling of about 700 miles on 30.6 gallons; a SuperCrew 2.7L 4x2 at 21 mpg gets about 546 miles from 26 gallons. Towing can cut mpg by a third or more, so plan fuel stops with your own numbers in the trip gas cost calculator.

F150 tire pressure

Ford doesn’t print one F-150 tire pressure in the owner’s manual, because it changes with tire size, load range, and payload package. LT tires on a heavy-payload truck run much higher pressure than the P-metric tires on a half-ton XLT. Use the tire and loading information label on the driver’s door pillar, and check the tires cold. If the light comes on, see tire pressure light.

Check your owner’s manual, or the tire and loading information label on the driver’s door jamb.

Oil at a glance

EcoBoost engines and the 2021-and-later V8 take 5W-30; older naturally aspirated engines took 5W-20. Capacity runs from 6 quarts to 8.8 quarts, depending on the engine and year. The F-150 oil page has every year, the Ford spec, and how often to change it.

F-150 towing capacity

The F-150 can tow up to 13,500 lb in 2026, but only with the 3.5L EcoBoost, the Tow/Haul package, and the optional Max Tow axle. Your truck’s rating depends on the configuration: engine, axle ratio, cab, box, and drive. Ford’s 2026 towing guide lists these maximums by engine:

2026 F-150 maximum towing by engine (Ford towing guide)
EngineMax towing
2.7L EcoBoost V68,400 lb
3.5L EcoBoost V613,500 lb
3.5L PowerBoost hybrid12,400 lb
5.0L V812,800 lb
Raptor (3.5L EcoBoost)8,200 lb
Raptor R (5.2L supercharged V8)8,700 lb

Maximums for a properly equipped truck. Ford says max towing varies with cargo, configuration, accessories, and passengers.

For a 2019 F-150, Ford’s guide gives up to 13,200 lb (XLT SuperCrew 4x2, 3.5L EcoBoost, Max Trailer Tow Package). For your exact truck, find the axle code on the door label and read the matching row in Ford’s RV and Trailer Towing Guide for your model year (the 2026 guide is a PDF on ford.com), or ask a dealer to look it up by VIN. Every trailer also counts against payload through tongue weight.

Recalls: check by VIN

An F-150 recall can apply to one engine, cab, or build date and not another, so the model year alone won’t tell you. Enter the 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. The VIN is at the base of the windshield on the driver’s side and on your registration. Ford dealers do recall repairs at no charge.

What to record in your log

A truck that tows sometimes and commutes the rest of the time has two very different fuel economies. A log shows both:

  • Each fill-up: date, odometer, gallons, and whether you were towing. Two full fills in a row give your real mpg; the MPG calculator does the math.
  • Each oil change: date, odometer, oil grade, and the oil-life percentage when you reset it.
  • Towing trips with trailer weight, because Ford’s schedule moves some jobs sooner when you tow.
  • Tire pressure checks and rotations.

A car maintenance log or a fuel log keeps this in one place. Milealot for iPhone — coming soon — will track fill-ups, mpg, and service reminders by mileage and date.

FAQ

What is the gas mileage of a Ford F-150?

The EPA rates the 2026 F-150 at 19 to 21 mpg combined with gas engines and two-wheel drive, and 24 mpg for the PowerBoost hybrid 4x2. The Raptor gets 16 mpg and the Raptor R 12 mpg.

How big is the F-150 gas tank?

On 2018–2025 trucks, 23 gallons on Regular Cab and SuperCab, 26 gallons on SuperCrew, and 36 gallons with the optional tank. The PowerBoost hybrid has 30.6 gallons.

What tire pressure does an F150 take?

The pressure on the label on your driver’s door pillar. It depends on tire size and payload package, so there isn’t one number for every F-150.

How much can an F-150 tow?

Up to 13,500 lb for a properly equipped 2026 F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost and Max Tow axle. A 2.7L EcoBoost truck is rated up to 8,400 lb. Your truck’s rating depends on its configuration.
