I'm wanting to get a used F-150 V6 for fuel efficiency purposes. I also want the second row of seats but can't seem to find one. Am I spinning my wheels? Does Ford only offer the extended cab in a V8? Thanks in advance for the help. Peter

 

They make v6 extended cab

 

Usually only see the v6 in the reg. cabs, but they do make them in the ext. cab form....keep looking

 

thanks Bar. I've looked around on fleabay and on other sites with no luck. doesn't look like Ford even made the V6 after 2004

 

They still make V6 F-150's. However, I believe the last year the V6 was offered in an extended cab was 2003 and *maybe* the 2004 Heritage (OBS). I know for a fact that there are 2002 V6 extended cabs, I just Googled and found one on Craigslist.

 

I have had two , a 97 and a 98. The top half of the bottem seat folds foreward creating a flat surface that is flat and works well for level storage.
It has a third door that is on the curb side.

Both trucks were the v-6 2 wheel drive posi axles.
In some the rear side windows push out. Nice trucks.

 

Not with the V6, you're not

 

Yes you can...

 

If you want a V6 and a Supercab, you have to buy a 97-03 or an 04 Heritage. The current body style of F-150 is too freaking heavy for a 6 cylinder, thus Ford doesn't produce it. I've heard you can custom order one with a V6 and Supercab but who knows what truth there is in that.

 

For what it's worth, the V6 probably won't get any better fuel mileage than a V8 will. The 6 has to work harder than the 8 to carry the truck down the road, more work = the same or more fuel used.

 

Manual's love for the v6 knows no bounds....

 

looks like ford finally has an automatic v6 too. Is 08 the first year for this?

 

My buddies 2002 ext cab v6 is automatic.

 

You arent going to gain any fuel efficiency with a V6. That V6 has to work harder than do the V8s, so even though its a smaller engine, it doesnt get any better gas milage.
Do yourself a favor, get one with a V8. You will appreciate having the power available and as long as you dont drive like a maniac all the time, you can get the same gas milage a V6 gets.

 

if you buy the v6 f150 and use it the same way you would a midsize sedan then it will get better mileage cuz youre not using it for work.
