Ford has been making an ongoing commitment to the environment lately. From improving fuel efficiency with their EcoBoost engine to making their production facilities greener, Ford automakers are moving towards sustainability. And in the latest move, they are making their Auto Start-Stop technology standard for every 2017 Ford F-150 with EcoBoost engine. The Auto Start-Stop automatically turns off the engine when a vehicle is stopped, which not only cuts down on harmful emissions, but increases fuel efficiency.
In the 2016 Ford F-150, this technology came standard with the 2.7 liter EcoBoost engine, but in the upcoming 2017 model, it will come with all the EcoBoost engine choices. Given that the popularity of the Ford EcoBoost is rapidly increasing, this change could have a huge impact. In fact, it’s possible that the Auto Start-Stop could appear in over 60 percent of the new lineup. For drivers who need the power and capabilities of a Ford truck, but are concerned about their fuel economy and the environment, the EcoBoost engine and Auto Start-Stop are huge factors in the Ford F-150 a great sustainable and fuel efficient option.
