2024 Ford F-150 2.7l vs 5.0l Coyote vs 3.5l Powerboost MPG loop

If I needed an everyday no frills truck. I would buy XLT with a 5.0. Simple and reliable.

Loving my powerboost, just got it two weeks ago, carbonize grey with black out package plus, my first truck. Had cars all my life.

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

I like a lot about your videos. Maybe more than any other vehicle review channel on YouTube. 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.

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.

I just bought a powerboost and love it.

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.

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.

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!

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.

These are the reviews I like, all legit no BS. What was the rear in the 2.7?

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

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.

5.0 vs 3.5TT in an F150 is always a tough choice. I probably would choose the 3.5 twin turbo ecoboost

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!

I'm curious, what was your actual distance of the test loop? How much was highway and how much stop and go?

I thought the newer 5.0 has issues with the cylinder deactivation?

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.

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.

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
