2018 Ford F150 : 2.7L EcoBoost V6 Crew 4×4

How much weight can your truck haul? We take a close look at the 2018 Ford F-150 crew cab 4×4 with a 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The door sticker states a maximum payload capacity of 1,342 lbs for this specific truck. That includes all the options, FX4 off-road package, and the rest. We load it to the maximum with bricks, and also run a before and after MPG loop to see how extra weight affects fuel economy.

2018 Ford F150

The 2.7L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 power output has been upgraded for 2018 to 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and a 3.55 rear axle ratio, and this truck has the off-road tuned shocks that come with the FX4 package. How will it handle running at maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)? By the way, the GVWR for this truck is 6,600 lbs.

The powerful engine handled the added weight with ease, and the suspension controlled the load without bottoming out or swaying. Indeed, the extra weight of the bricks (about 1,000 lbs) decreased the fuel economy by about 2 MPG (or approximately 10%).

Watch the video for all the details. Stephen weighs the bricks and shows the before and after MPG numbers from the trip meter and calculated at the pump.

Hauling capacities for the 2019 F-150 truck bed

The 2019 Ford F-150 offers a variety of choices for engines, bed lengths, cab styles, and drivetrains inside the lineup. The highest payload capacity you will get is with the impressive 5.0-liter V8 engine, which allows for as much as 3,270 pounds of maximum payload with the Regular Cab 4x2 configuration and the Heavy Duty Payload Package with 18-inch wheels. No matter which variation of the 2019 F-150 you select, you won’t have less than 1,640 pounds of maximum payload at your disposal.

The pickup truck bed is not just built tough enough to carry such heavy payloads—it is also created to make things easier for you. You can equip the truck bed with a number of different available features, including the configurable BoxLink system, LED box lights, stowable loading ramps, remote tailgate release, an integrated tailgate step with a lift assist, and deployable box steps.

This is all thanks in large part to not just the beastly engines under the hood, but the high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body and fully boxed high-strength steel frame as well. Built Ford Tough isn’t just a catchy slogan. If you want to take a look at this pickup truck up close, please contact us today.
