The 2014 Ford F-150 with 3.7-liter V6 engine will be available this fall with a factory-installed, gaseous-fuel prep package that includes hardened valves, valve seats, pistons and rings so it can operate on either compressed natural gas (CNG)/liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or gasoline through separate fuel systems.
According to a company release, the F-150 is capable of achieving more than 750 miles on one tank of CNG/LPG when it is equipped with a CNG/LPG engine package. The Ford F-150 averages 23 mpg on the highway.
In the next year, Ford will offer eight commercial vehicles with a gaseous-prep option:
• Transit Connect van and wagon
• Transit van, wagon, cutaway and chassis cab
• E-Series van, wagon, cutaway and stripped chassis
• F-Series Super Duty pickup and F-350 chassis cab
• F-Series Super Duty chassis cab (F-450, F-550)
• F-650 medium-duty truck
• F53 and F59 stripped chassis
• 2014 F-150 light-duty pickup
Ford has established a qualification vehicle modifier program, intended to help modifiers achieve greater levels of customer satisfaction and product acceptance through the manufacture of high-quality vehicles.
