The 2016 Ford F-150 is going to have four engine choices for you to pick from, which will look familiar to those who are fans of the 2015 model. Now, there’s a ton of choices to make when it comes to picking a new truck, but one of the most important things to consider is the engine. Need some help? Here’s some tips for picking an engine in the 2016 Ford F-150.

3.5L Ti-VCT V6

The 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 is the standard engine in the Ford F-150, and it’s a great option for many people because of its jack-of-all-trades aspects. It has a very efficient fuel rating that can propel the F-150 down the highway at 25 MPG. Another thing it offers is flexibility when it comes to fuel, since you can fill it up with both regular unleaded or E85.

2.7L EcoBoost V6

If you’re looking for a truck engine that offers amazing fuel efficiency, coupled with tons of power — then consider the 2.7 EcoBoost V6 your next engine. It’s the most efficient engine available on the 2016 F-150, and has a highway rating of 26 MPG. Despite its compact size, it’s no slouch either. You can expect the 2.7L EcoBoost to be able to tow around 7,000-8,500 lbs. or so.

This is a larger version of the previous engine, and it offers an incredible amount of power, which make it the best choice if you’re planning on towing a lot. And we mean a lot. The 2016 Ford F-150 is capable of pulling 12,200 lbs. behind it when properly equipped, and the 3.5L EcoBoost keeps the fuel efficiency that makes the 2.7L great.

5.0L Ti-VCT V8

This is the engine for the traditional truck driver, or for those who want to feel the roar of a powerful engine. Like the smaller V6 version, the V8 can also run on both fuel types, and handily beats many competitors in terms of fuel efficiency. It also offers the best overall payload rating, but the 3.5L EcoBoost beats it in terms of maximum towing.
