Ford is to standardise automatic start-stop across its entire line of EcoBoost 2017 F-150 pickups.
The 2016 F-150 with the 2.7-litre EcoBoost engine already has the economy feature as standard and it will be extended to 3.5-litre versions for 2017, including the new high-output version for the Raptor variants.

Fitment will then reach 60% of the truck lineup.
Specially tuned for trucks, Auto Start-Stop shuts off the engine when the vehicle is at a stop – except when towing or in four-wheel-drive mode. When the brake is released, the engine restarts quickly.
Actual fuel savings vary depending on driving patterns. The technology also contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions due to decreased idle times.
Ford also offers Auto Start-Stop on some Focus, Fusion [Mondeo], Edge and Escape [Kuga] models in the US.
