Which Ford truck has a turbo?
Several Ford trucks offer turbocharged engines, most notably the F-150 and Ranger, with turbo diesel options in the Super Duty lineup.
Ford’s current truck lineup uses turbocharging to boost power and efficiency across different segments. This article explains which models feature turbo engines and what buyers should know about performance, towing, and fuel economy.
Turbocharged Ford trucks at a glance
Below is a concise guide to the main turbocharged options by model in Ford’s current truck lineup.
- Ford F-150 — Gasoline turbo options include the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (the 3.5L is a twin-turbo setup). Some configurations also offer a 3.0L Power Stroke turbodiesel.
- Ford Ranger — 2.3L EcoBoost inline-4 turbocharged engine, standard on most modern Rangers and known for a balance of torque and efficiency.
- Ford Super Duty (F-250/350/450) — Turbocharged diesel powertrains, most notably the 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel, used for heavy towing and high-load work.
Turbocharging in these trucks is chosen to deliver strong low-end torque for towing, responsive acceleration for everyday driving, and, in some cases, improved highway efficiency. Availability varies by model year and trim level.
Choosing a turbo Ford truck
When shopping, consider how you plan to use the truck. Gas EcoBoost options (F-150 and Ranger) provide a good mix of daily drivability and towing capability, often with simpler maintenance compared to diesel. If your tasks involve heavy payloads or frequent long-haul towing, the Power Stroke turbo diesel in the Super Duty lineup may offer superior torque and sustained performance, albeit with different fuel costs and maintenance requirements.
Summary
Ford currently provides turbocharged options across its truck lineup: the F-150 with EcoBoost gasoline engines (2.7L and 3.5L, with a 3.0L Power Stroke diesel option in some configurations), the Ranger with a 2.3L EcoBoost turbo, and the Super Duty series (F-250/350/450) with turbocharged Power Stroke diesels. Buyers should match the turbo choice to their intended use—gas for balanced everyday driving and light towing, diesel for heavy towing and high-load work.
