Ford Motor Company announced the expansion of auto start-stop technology across the EcoBoost-equipped 2017 Ford F-150 lineup. The 2016 F-150 with 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine comes standard with Auto Start-Stop. That offering continues for 2017, with the addition of the technology as standard equipment for all 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines including the all-new high-output version for F-150 Raptor.

At the rate EcoBoost is growing, fuel-saving Auto Start-Stop could represent more than 60% of the truck lineup - giving F-150 the highest number of Ford nameplates offering standard Auto Start-Stop technology. Specially tuned for truck customers, Auto Start-Stop shuts off the engine when the vehicle is at a stop - except when towing or in four-wheel-drive mode - to give drivers power on demand when they need it most. When the brake is released, the engine restarts quickly.

Auto Start-Stop for F-150 benefits from Ford's hybrid electric vehicle expertise, helping ensure smooth and refined engine restarts. Actual fuel savings vary depending on driving patterns. The technology also contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions due to decreased idle times.

The following Ford vehicles are available with Auto Start-Stop: Focus 1.0-liter EcoBoost; Fusion 1.5-liter EcoBoost; Edge 2.0-liter twin-scroll EcoBoost; 2017 Escape 1.5-liter EcoBoost, 2.0-liter twin-scroll EcoBoost; and F-150 2.7-liter EcoBoost; 2017 F-150 2.7-liter EcoBoost, 3.5-liter EcoBoost, high-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost.
