2018 Ford F-150 Lariat 4WD Crew Cab Review | Track Test | Edmunds

Ride along with Edmunds Photo Editor Kurt Niebuhr as he shows us how fast the 2.7-liter V6-equipped 2018 Ford F-150 Lariat 4WD test truck is from 0 to 60 mph. He also clocks it in the quarter-mile.

Q: What kind of engine and transmission are in this particular 2018 Ford F-150?
A: This F-150 is running the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The truck is also equipped with four-wheel drive and the optional FX4 package.

Q: Is this the same 2.7-liter EcoBoost Ford sold last year?
A: Not quite. For 2018, this engine uses both port and direct injection, and the turbochargers use alloys that can withstand higher temperatures. The 2017 version produces 325 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque, while the 2018 version makes 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque.

Q: How much does the 2018 Ford F-150 weigh?
A: We weighed this F-150 minutes before we shot this video. With a full tank of gas, it tipped the scales at 5,336 pounds with a 58 percent front weight bias. It's definitely not a lightweight.

Q: What other engines are available in the 2018 Ford F-150?
A: Four other engines are available for the 2018 F-150. There's a 3.3-liter non-turbocharged V6 (290 hp, 265 lb-ft), a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 (375 hp, 470 lb-ft), a 5.0-liter V8 (395 hp, 400 lb-ft) and a high-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 (450 hp, 510 lb-ft).
