2025 Ford F-150 Engine Options: An Overview of Each Motor
2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6
The 2.7-liter F-150 EcoBoost engine is standard on the entry-level XL trim, along with the affordable STX and XLT models. Despite this position in the lineup, it makes a massive output of 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, and develops that power quickly off the line: Peak horsepower arrives at 5,000 RPM, and peak torque arrives at 3,000 RPM.
As the first of the Ford F-150 engines, the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 kicks things off with a maximum towing capacity of 8,400 pounds4 and a maximum payload capacity of 1,775 pounds,5 blending exceptional value with massive strength. Additionally, this engine is the second-most efficient option in the Ford F-150 engine lineup, providing up to an EPA-estimated 19/25 MPG (City/Highway).3
5.0-liter V-8
A classic option and a fan-favorite member of the Ford F-150 engines, this hearty V-8 has the second-highest towing and payload capacities in the lineup, letting you tow up to 12,900 pounds4 and haul up to 2,225 pounds of payload5 thanks to its 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. Torque is made at fairly low RPM, coming in at its fullest at 4,250 RPM.
A V-8 is almost impossible to match when it comes to passenger-pleasing smoothness while accelerating, and the rumble it makes sounds great, too. Usually, this comes at the cost of efficiency, but thanks to advanced technologies and engineering, the 5.0-liter Ford F-150 V-8 engine delivers up to an EPA-estimated 16/24 MPG (City/Highway).3 Find it as standard on the F-150 Tremor and Lariat; you can also option it into an F-150 XL, STX, XLT, or Raptor model.
3.5-Liter EcoBoost V-6
The practical Ford F-150 engine specs reach their highest here – this engine is responsible for the F-150's maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds1 and also can achieve the truck's maximum possible payload capacity of 2,440 pounds.2 Those capacities are made possible by its 400 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, and it makes peak torque at 3,000 RPM to get larger loads moving off the line.
You can think of this V-6 as a stronger alternative to the V-8. It also goes further with an EPA-estimated 17/25 MPG (City/Highway).3 Choose the F-150 King Ranch or Platinum to get this engine as standard. Meanwhile, the F-150 XL, XLT, Tremor, and Lariat offer it as an optional upgrade.
3.5-Liter PowerBoost Full Hybrid V-6
The F-150 hybrid engine returns for 2025. Despite what "hybrid" may make you think, it outclasses the previous engines for power, delivering 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque alongside its EPA-estimated 22/24 MPG (City/Highway).3 It does offer a lower maximum towing capacity of 11,200 pounds,4 but this can be a worthy trade-off considering how much more efficient it is.
This torque output also comes in fully at 3,000 RPM, making it shockingly quick off the line. None of the F-150 trims come standard with the PowerBoost engine, but it can be optioned into the XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, or Platinum trims as an upgrade.
High-Output 3.5-Liter EcoBoost V-6
The 2025 Ford F-150 horsepower rises higher here, reaching a huge output of 450 horsepower. This engine is only available on the Ford F-150 Raptor and can be harnessed using our new Ford vehicle specials so you can dominate off-road challenges. Making 510 pound-feet of torque and letting you tow 8,200 pounds,4 it's aimed more toward thrill-seekers than people looking for a work truck.
High-Output Supercharged 5.2-Liter V-8
The most explosive entry into our new Ford inventory, this engine is exclusively found in the F-150 Raptor R. An output of 720 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque comes standard, and the torque hits full steam at 4,250 RPM to throw you back in your seat. This engine is simply the top option for those in search of extreme fun in a full-size truck.
