2024 Ford F-150 2.7l vs 5.0l Coyote vs 3.5l Powerboost MPG loop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2024
- For 2024 Ford refreshed the F-150 and some of the changes impacted fuel economy on the different engine options.
In this video I compare the 2.7l Ecoboost V6 vs the 3.5l Powerboost vs the 5.0l V8 Coyote in identical XLT 302a 5.5 ft box trucks to try to compare apples to apples.
-Each truck was set at blue cruise 70mph for the 17.7 mile loop. The results were really close between each engine.
If you are interested in this truck here is a link to it.

If I needed an everyday no frills truck. I would buy XLT with a 5.0. Simple and reliable.
100%% FTW
@@CTECH-REVIEW The XLT with the 302A pkg, sliding rear window, 360 camera, adaptive CC are all standard correct?
@@Bronco2Cj My understanding is that is correct!
I like a lot about your videos. Maybe more than any other vehicle review channel on RUclips. This content provides a service for sure, and you're straightforward, right to the info, and you speak like a real person. Lots to like. Thanks.
I appreciate that!! I put a lot of effort into the channel, thank you for watching! more good stuff to come!
Ya I'd agree with that. His videos are good.
Loving my powerboost, just got it two weeks ago, carbonize grey with black out package plus, my first truck. Had cars all my life.
Awesome truck, congrats!
@@CTECH-REVIEW thank you! 😄
I just bought the same truck color with black out pckg myself. Got the Lux package and a few other things. What an amazing truck. I should say it's my first full sized truck I was in a 17 Tacoma Trd.
@@sethalos I’m loving it, especially coming from a ford fusion lol
Another thing to note, that 5.0 has a 3.73 rear. If it had the 3.31 it would probably be the highest... Simply amazing
Thanks for watching. I need to go back and look I thought all the trucks had the exact same gear ratio
yup, the 2.7 had 3.55 gears, the other two were 3.73. Also, regarding payload, the 2.7 had 6600# GVWR, the 5.0 had 7200#, and the PB was #7400.
As an RV owner, I need high payload, that 19xxlb payload on the 5.0 was exciting... LOL. plus, my daily commute (~100 miles round trip) I would rather have the 5.0. However, for RV life, having the PB with the 7.2kw in the bed is tough to pass up.
All very good engines and all good fuel economy for a full-size crew cab pick up. I'll go with the 5.0 and the added payload that it offers.
Heck ya!!
Negative. I’d go with the 3.5 EB. The 5.0 wasn’t originally designed as a truck engine whereas the 3.5 was. Also the 5.0 now has cylinder deactivation and we all know how that’s going with GM….
@@tboe-cr8pz from a reliability standpoint 5.0 > 3.5
@@tboe-cr8pz”I don’t want to buy a similar product because a certain manufacturer built/designed it poorly”
Makes sense.
I have a 2021 3.5 with 110,000klm on it. I tow a lot, Boats,ATV, Snowmobiles..it’s been a great engine.
Tows so well, I just ordered the Platinum with the 3.5 if I take it easy heading north with no trailer i average 10.5-11 per 100klm
Great power and gas mileage!
I just bought a powerboost and love it.
That is a great powertrain!
Love my Powerboost with the 7200 watt onboard generator. I power my house and camper with it. You are so right with the transmission, sometimes I can’t even hear or feel shifting.
That is awesome!
Very cool video comparing all 3 trucks with the different powertrains. I also appreciate how all 3 trucks were within $2000 of each other on the MSRP. True apples to apples comparison. If it’s my money, I’m going with the 5.0 V8 and as an added bonus you would get the best payload number of the bunch!
Thank you for the comments! I tried to compare as close as equal as possible! Huge bonus is pay load with 5.0l!
These are the reviews I like, all legit no BS. What was the rear in the 2.7?
Thanks for the comment! I think 3.55...standard ratio!
I test drove a power boost. The fuel economy(after a mix of city highway driving) was no better than the regular 3.5. The 2.7 smokes the power boost for mileage, if you’re not towing super heavy, get the 2.7.
2.7l is alwsy a great choice!
No over coming physics, I’m a 2023 2.7 owner and yep with a 5k+ pound camper in tow, my mileage drops down to between 12 and 14 mpg’s, but unloaded I easily see 21.5 in the mountains of Southern West Virginia. Maybe Ford has improved the MPG calculator, but mine is always more than 1 mpg over what I’m actually getting, so I always hand calculate mileage.
@@poppyneese1811 12-14 isn’t bad with 5k plus that wind resistance factored.
Power boost shines with city driving
If you are maintaining 65 and under, the PowerBoost will outshine the normal 3.5L. There are folks getting 800-1000 mile range tanks. How much more is the 2.7l getting?
I own a 2015 XLT with a 2.7L and it's at124,000 miles. Had one issue since new with a fuel pump (warranty), otherwise solid truck. I don't tow 15,000 pound trailers on a daily basis, but I have no issue pulling my 23' Robalo at highway speed several times a month or taking a classic car to a show. The previous truck was a Chevy with a 5.3, great as well. Key to any vehicle is religious maintenance, especially oil changes. It's really personal preference and what you do with your truck.
Great comment! Thank you for sharing and watching my video! I am a fan of the 2.7l!
Great review, thank you for the information. I'm currently renting a Powerboost version (courtesy of Enterprise), while my car is in the shop. I was never into pickup trucks and have never been in the market for one living in suburban NJ. However, as Enterprise only had this, a Ram pickup (hate Chrysler products) and a Corolla available for rent, I figured I'd give the F150 PB a go. Though I've only had it for less than 12 hours, I'm amazed that this thing as actually more fuel efficient than our 24 MDX SH-AWD. Needless to say, we may look to add this to our 'fleet' within the next year or so.
Thanks for the comment!
2.7 is way better on fuel, but id go with the 5 litre although i did love my 2.7. It always got around 4 or 5mpg better than the 5 litre and the 3.5
Did you have a 5.0 also? What year? 4 mpg is a big improvement!
I've got a 2015 3.5. Loved it. But i bought a 5L in 2021. No regret. She's a Lariat. 1692 pounds payload. And what a great roar. Don't have to worry a out the turbos. My friend had a 2016 3.5 and he has to change both turbos at 120,000 m.
I went from the 2.7 to the 5.0. Fuel economy is worse, but the engine is a lot nicer. It’s smoother, matches better with the transmission (less jerky) and sounds amazing.
5.0 vs 3.5TT in an F150 is always a tough choice. I probably would choose the 3.5 twin turbo ecoboost
It sure is a tough choice
I thought the newer 5.0 has issues with the cylinder deactivation?
I’m not aware of that, but I will look into that. Thank you for the comment.
Thanks for the awesome video!! Knowing that there is only a 1 mph difference I will definitely going with the 5.0! Waaaaay more to go wrong with the ecoboost and not to mention the cost to replace the battery on the Powerboost! Keeping my next truck for many years so going with the reliable coyote!
Glad to help!
And the sound man! Gotta get the V8
You forgot to mention what gearing each of the trucks was. Im really impressed with the 5.0 mpg. With how high the payload was im thinking it was the 3.73. Same with the PB as 3.73 is standard. Curious about the 2.7. Great video.
Sorry I should have included that, I think it was in the window stickers, let me confirm. But I believe all 3 had identical gearing.
2.7 has 3.55 gears in the vid.
I'm curious, what was your actual distance of the test loop? How much was highway and how much stop and go?
Great question. The loop I do is about 17.8 miles. 70% highway.
@CTECH-REVIEW I'm sorry but an 18 mile loop is not enough for an accurate fuel consumption test imo.Atleast 50 miles with a considerable portion of stop and go would be ideal
To be fair, the middle one (with the lower payload) didn't have the 3.73 gears the other 2 did. With that, it should have similar if not greater payload.
Great comment! More to come on these comparison reviews!
The awesome feature with the Poweboost is the 7.2 kilowatt inverter system is a awesome feature you can run some of your things in your house from the truck if you lose power in your house
Absolutely!! awesome!
The PowerBoost engine is the 3.5 ecoboost engine with an electric motor added between the transmission and engine. Ford could not get rid of the 3.5. For this reason.
Great comment!
Were the axles all the same and where’s the eco?
They all had same ratio axles and all of them ran in ECO mode! Thank you for watching!
@@CTECH-REVIEW the 5.0 had a 3.73 the 2.7 had 3.55 and the powerboost had a 3.73
The gear number are no longer display?
I thought it was!?
I wouldn't pay more than $45k for any of them, so I guess I'll keep my 2003 and go on a cruise ship vacation this summer instead :)
Good move
How does the lightest engine (2.7) have the lowest payload
most 2.7l engines get the 6600gvwr where as the 5.0 gets a higher GVWR.
Just picked up a 2024 STx and I gotta say, the interior has to be the nicest entire for a near base model of any vehicle
It’s insane
I agree! Enjoy!
@@CTECH-REVIEW Not a fan of the neon yellow fender flare tho!
I'm picking mine up on Monday. 5.0l.
@@PhoenixChaos blackout package removes that.
@@actontreadway1168 Yea well I didn’t get the blackout package bud lol And I’m not buying it after the fact
I’ll figure something out
The one with less moving parts
5oh
5.0 Simple? It has cylinder deactivation which the other 2 do not. Another thing, dont believe the MPG readout. On throttle off coasting, the ICE only engines shut off the fuel. The hybrid helps when on throttle by not starting the engine.
Thank you for the comment and for watching
Cylinder deactivation is exactly why I wouldn't buy one now. GM and Ram have it and they're all basically the same design, expect a lot of lifter and camshaft failures
@@wasupfool5692Cylinder deactivation being the cause is a common myth. The new 7.3 Godzilla has had serious lifter issues - no cylinder deactivation to blame. For the Hemi’s, it seems more related to VVT. Overall it seems like a higher volume oil pump would help more than anything else.
5.0 the only truck with true work capability, high payload and towing capacities, 5.0 V8 is the best
Thank you for the comment
The 3.5 is actually the highest towing capacity with power and torque at a much lower rpm than the 5.0. Both are great engines.
A majority of people don't want small motors in full sized pickups!!!
Thanks for sharing
Need a Powerboost Raptor !!!
Get ready....ford has a Secret coming!
That heavy battery pack will be happy flying 😂
The 2.7 obviously. My 2022 F-150 2.7 Stx on oem 33's gets almost 27 mpgs @ 65 with A/C on. I was blown away by that. I'm not sure why yours is so low. Mine was gps/odo & top off method proven. Right off the lot brand new. Although I drove 100 miles home. Your drive is way shorter
2.7l is awesome engine. My top pick too!
interesting - was it 4x4 or 2wd
all 3 of these trucks are 4x4, but the tests were all conducted in 2WD! Thanks for watching
2.7 will do better overall than the 5.0. Highway is highway, most driving is city or around town so the 2.7 will beat the 5.0 in the long run in terms of MPG's.
ya that makes sense! Thanks for watching!
And the PowerBoost will beat both in city stop and go
Not sure about that, turbos dump a lot of fuel at hwy speeds. I have a Chevy 2.7 and it does really great in the 55-65mph range. But 75+ mph and it’s pretty bad, like 14-16mpg. My ‘13 f150 with the 5.0 gets 17.5mpg at 75mph.
The 2.7 is a great engine.
Hi! I’m thinking of getting a used F-150 as daily work truck. I have a commute of 40 mile one-way (1.5 hrs) then another 1hr drive home in horrid SoCal traffic. I haul mostly network cabling installation equipment in the bed, and do not tow.
What model year, engine and grade do you recommend? I would like to have some of the newer active safety features such as the automatic emergency braking system to avoid front collisions, but not as critical as long-term reliability and durability. Any suggestions for a late model
F-150 with Direct and Port Injection. Also, what immediate and affordable engine and transmission mods for reliability and durability are recommended? I’m not looking for more power, just long-term reliability and durability as I don’t have too much money and need a truck for work and personal use. Thank you!
Thank you for watching, I am a fan of the 2.7l ecoboost for fuel efficiency and generally a reliable powertrain.
@@CTECH-REVIEW Thank you for your responding and for your advice! I appreciate your advice and help.
2.7!!!💪💪💪💪👌👌👌👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
2.7l is great engine!
Probably the least worst choice
All the engines are good. So that’s not of any importance to me. You can’t go wrong with any of them. What’s more important to me is the chrome appearance package with the shifter on the column which I have on my 21 XLT 302A package. Ford has now taken that away from the XLT and has made it to where you have to step up to a lariat which I refuse to do because of the shifter placement being in the counsel area. I will be keeping my 21 until they bring back the chrome grill to the XLT.
Thanks for watching!
@@CTECH-REVIEW you bet, keep em coming!!
Where’s the powerboost
It’s coming soon!!
I don't think the Power Boost F-150 is a good idea in places that have extreme heat or cold, which is basically all over the place. That battery adds weight, complexity & a higher price tag & will not really do it's job in extreme climates. It does seem like a good idea as an overland truck for camping & stuff with all of it's outlets & things. I'm still sticking w/my 3.5L F-150 for now.
Thanks for the comment!
60 grand for an XLT piss off
Thanks for watching!
You'll see them for 10k+ off msrp soon. Buying a new truck will (almost) make sense again, like before 2021.
My 2019 stx f150 had an msrp over 47k. I paid 35k, which was only 1k less than the advertised price. You'll be seeing new xlt f150s back in the upper 40k range before the end of this year unless the government interferes with the trajectory of the car/truck market.
Rear end ratio different on 2.7
Thank you for watching!
Same or different rear diff ratios?
Same.
You ran tge 2.7L at 70 on the highway the other 2 you ran at 69.
I have had 2 - 2.7L, 2-P.B's 1 3.5L E.B. and 1 5.0L
Only the 1 2.7 and 1 3.5 L had the 10 speeds and obviously both P.B.'s had the 10 speeds.
That 1 mph on the highway makes a 1 mpg difference Drop that 2.7 to 69 mph and you'd be about 22 mpg's.
Thank you for the comments!
Conclusion: Get the Coyote duh.
Thanks for watching
Why are u doing 70 instead of 69
I had to speed up! Haha
5l and 3.5L both had 3.73 gears. the 2.7L had 3.55 gears not apples to apples the 2.7L will run lower rpm and do better with that 3.55 ratio. the 3.73 is better for towing.
lol then you compare a 3.7L hybrid real apples to apples lmao lol lol
Thanks for the comment. I will do another video with different gearing ratios once they get more in stock. I have done both in the past if you take a look at some of my 2023 reviews on these trucks.
Anyone buying a full size truck and worrying about mpg doesn't need a full size truck. The 5.0 is the way to go for reliability and cost of ownership over a long time
Thanks for watching!
Nothing wrong with saving $$$ at the gas pumps whenever you can.I have a full size truck and given the cost of fuel today,a penny saved is a penny earned
The 5.0 has cylinder deactivation. The 3.5 and 2.7 are more reliable than the new 5.0
@tboe-cr8pz it does but is a much more reliable design than GM. Even with that it's more reliable for the long term than the twin turbo engines.
Cybertruck wins
haha!
All are slow

Except they're not
@@cs1992 lmao I owned everyone there slow kid
@@terryhook5518 2.7L 0-60 is ~6.0s
For a 5000lb vehicle, that's quick.
Read the status from the factory, and it will tell you all you need to know, all this is a waste of time
Thank you for watching!
The 5.0 does the work gets decent gas mileage but sounds exactly what a truck needs to sound like. I actually enjoy driving it. So it’s the 5.0 for me!
If you have a truck, you shouldn't be worried about gas. Skip the fecal boost bullshit. Just get the V8. #Done.
Thanks for watching
Why? The 2.7 makes more low end torque. Tuned it makes 475whp on E85. The 5.0 can't get anything near that apples to apples
