Ford F-150 Hybrid (24 MPG)The Ford F-150 is one of the most popular pickup trucks in the United States and Ford has done a decent job of making their lineup more fuel efficient. There are myriad trims and drivetrain combinations, but for this article, we'll focus on models with the 3.5-liter PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6. If you haven't shopped for a vehicle in the last decade, the term hybrid might invoke feelings of high fuel economy but low performance. After all, it took the 2010 Toyota Prius a leisurely 10 seconds to reach 60 MPH. That is not true anymore. The hybrid V6 in modern Ford F-150s produces 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque. Those are pretty good figures for a truck that gets 24 MPG in the city and on the highway. The hybrid V6 is also capable of putting in work. Ford rates the truck with a 12,700-pound tow rating with a payload capacity of 2,120 pounds. In short, you're getting the better fuel economy of a hybrid engine while also still getting all the power of an internal combustion engine. It isn't the most fuel-efficient truck on the list, but it is about as close to a regular truck as you can get while also getting a sizable boost in fuel economy. Arguably the best-selling point for the F-150 is its 24 MPG in the city. Most modern trucks still get well below 20 MPG in the city, which means the F-150 can save you quite a bit at the fuel pump if you do a lot of city driving. Ford F-150 Lightning (68-70 MPGe)The Ford F-150 Lightning turned heads when it first launched in 2022. The first iteration of the truck had over 200,000 reservations and was a huge success for Ford. The truck has only gotten better going into the 2024 model year. Ford offers six trim levels on the F-150 Lightning, ranging from around $63,300 all the way up to nearly $85,000. Those prices are hard to digest for many people, but the base trim is a bit less expensive than most competitors, including the aforementioned Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Hummer EV. There are two battery packs available on the F-150 Lightning, and these will ultimately determine its range and MPGe. The standard pack can do 76 MPGe in the city and 61 MPGe on the highway, good for a 68 MPGe combined total. The extended range battery bumps those figures to 78 MPGe in the city and 63 MPGe on the highway, which is approximately 70 MPGe combined. The battery pack size also determines your electric motor power. Ford pairs the smaller battery pack to a dual electric motor that can do 452-horspower. The motor on the extended battery pack variants bumps those figures to 580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque. As such, the F-150 Lightning also has two tow figures. The less powerful engine can tow 7,700 pounds with a 2,000-pound payload capacity. Opting for the extended range version bumps the towing to 10,000 pounds but reduces the payload to 1,800 pounds. With more options at more price points, the F-150 Lightning is an enticing offer. However, the Silverado EV gets more range with 450 miles versus the F-150's 320. Rivian R1T (64-78 MPGe)The Rivian R1T is one of the higher-end options for EV trucks, as even the base edition comes with amenities you typically only see in higher trim levels on other trucks, like ventilated seats and wood interior trim. Of course, that all comes at a price. The base Rivian R1T is $72,990. On top of that, there are several add-ons, including a stronger engine and larger battery pack, that can add well over $10,000 to the price tag. Fully loaded, the truck can easily top $100,000. There are two engine options on the R1T. The first is a dual electric motor configuration that makes up to 665 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque. Those numbers increase to 835 horsepower with the optional quad electric motor. With the stronger motor, the truck can get from zero to 60 MPH in 3.4 seconds, which is blisteringly fast for a truck. According to Rivian, the truck can tow up to 11,000 pounds with a 1,760 pound payload capacity. Like most EV trucks, the range depletes quickly when you tow, but so does regular fuel economy on gas-powered trucks. Speaking of fuel economy, the Rivian R1T gets between 64 MPGe combined or 78 MPGe combined depending on your configuration. Those configurations boast a total range of either 270 miles, 352 miles, or 410 miles depending on which battery size you opt for. When properly equipped, it's one of the best trucks if you want to get the most bang for your buck when it comes to efficiency.
