2019 Ford F-150 Engine Guide

Despite the fact that gasoline and diesel engines have many things in common, there are numerous differences that set them apart when considering function and efficiency. For example, they achieve combustion in different ways. While gasoline engines rely on fuel and air compression aided by spark plugs to ignite fuel, diesel fuel is more energy-dense than gasoline, meaning that it's able to generate more power while using a smaller amount of fuel. As a result, this combination of high-compression and energy-dense fuel provides superior efficiency. EcoBoost® engines use advanced turbocharging technology with a combination of direct fuel injection, which makes these engines perfectly suited for towing and hauling.
