The Toyota Tacoma offers three powerful engines, one of which is even a hybrid. Specifically, there is the i-FORCE 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 engine, which is anticipated to offer up to 348 horsepower, the i-FORCE 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 engine configured with 389 horsepower, and the i-FORCE 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 Hybrid engine, which is expected to generate up to 437 horsepower.

However, the Ford F-150 is predicted to offer six engines, including its optional hybrid powertrain:

• 3.3L V6 engine with 290 horsepower
• Optional 5.0L V8 engine with 400 horsepower
• Optional 2.7L V6 engine with 325 horsepower
• Optional 3.5L V6 engine with 400 horsepower
• Optional 3.0L V6 diesel engine with 250 horsepower
• Optional 3.5L V6 hybrid powertrain engine with a 35kW electric motor

As we can see, no matter which expected F-150 engine you opt for, it’s anticipated that you’ll get a powerful performance kick out of it. With such a wide variety of choices, you are likely to be able to configure your engine to meet your specific needs.

But how do these engines perform? What gas mileage can you expect?

The highest gas mileage currently estimated for the Tacoma is an EPA-estimated 17 city/23 highway MPG.

This is blown out of the water by the F-150’s expected EPA-estimated rating at 20 city/26 highway MPG, not to mention the hybrid rating at an estimated 25 city/26 highway MPG.

For strong performance, variety, and good gas mileage, the choice is in the anticipated F-150’s favor.
