2024 Ford F-150 Safety Rating
The Ford F-150 hasn’t been tested by Australian crash testing authority ANCAP yet, so for now it remains unrated.
In the US the F-150 was awarded a five-star safety rating according to testing conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The 2024 Ford F-150 comes standard with the following safety features:
- Six airbags

- Blind-spot monitoring with trailer tow coverage
- Rear cross-traffic alert
- Lane-keep assist
- Driver alert system

2024 Ford F-150 Fuel Economy
Ford Australia hasn’t detailed fuel economy figures for the local F-150 range.
In the US the F-150 variants with the 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 and engine idle stop-start are claimed to consume 20 miles per gallon (mpg) according to EPA combined cycle testing. This equates to 11.8L/100km.
It’s unclear at this stage if the remanufactured, right-hand drive F-150s sold locally will have engine idle stop-start, nor what the fuel tank size will be. In the US it’s available with either a 98L tank as standard and a 136L long-range tank as an option.
| Ford F-150 | Fuel Type | Combined |
|---|---|---|
| LARIAT LWB (4x4) | UNLEADED PETROL | 12.5 |
| LARIAT SWB (4x4) | UNLEADED PETROL | 12.5 |
| XLT LWB (4x4) | UNLEADED PETROL | 12.5 |
| XLT SWB (4x4) | UNLEADED PETROL | 12.5 |
Cost of ownership
What is the running and servicing costs of a Ford F-150?
All Ford F-150’s need servicing every 12 Months months or 15,000km km, whichever comes first.
How does the 2024 Ford F-150 drive?
Our expert take on Ford F-150 drivability.
Unlike its American pickup rivals with their V8 engines, the F-150 will be powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine. The EcoBoost engine makes 298kW of power and 678Nm of torque, sent to all four wheels through a four-wheel drive system.
This is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with drive sent through a four-wheel drive system.
The XLT variants have a part-time four-wheel drive system with 2H, 4H, and 4L modes, whereas the Lariat variants have a full-time four-wheel drive system with a 4A mode.
This V6 EcoBoost petrol engine uses a pair of injectors per cylinder along with twin-intercooled turbochargers that’s claimed to minimise lag.
Ford Australia is aware of the F-150 Hybrid, Raptor, V8, and electric Lightning options. It hasn’t ruled out bringing them Down Under, but only once the remanufacturing process is established and demand for the EcoBoost has been proven.
