We’ve already posted about the fuel economy ratings for the five gasoline powered engines available in the 2018 Ford F-150 lineup, but now we have 2018 Ford F-150 diesel engine mileage numbers as well! The 3.0-liter Power Stroke V-6 offers not only class-leading horsepower of 250 and up to 440 pound-feet of torque, but will end up offering best-in-class mileage numbers as well! Designed from the tried-and-true 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel engine that comes on Ford Super Duty models, this new diesel powertrain on the light-duty Ford F-150 should turn heads and deliver confident power and fuel economy.

2018 Ford F-150 Diesel Engine Mileage Numbers

What does best-in-class EPA-estimated fuel economy look like on the 2018 Ford F-150? We have the run-down below:

  • Highway Mileage: 30 mpg
  • City Mileage: 22 mpg
  • Combined Mileage: 25 mpg

These numbers represent significant fuel savings at the pump for busy truck owners, and we are excited about the arrival of these diesel models here at Kimber Creek Ford in Pine River MN.

“Even a few years ago, customers wouldn’t have imagined an EPA-estimated rating of 30 mpg highway would be possible in a full-size pickup, but our team of crazy-smart engineers rose to the challenge,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford executive vice president, in a recent Ford press release.
