Start-Stop Technology Standard on the 2017 Ford F-150
If you’re driving or have driven the 2016 F-150 that is equipped with the 2.7 EcoBoost engine, then the Start-Stop technology is already something that you’re familiar with. However, every 2017 model that is equipped with an EcoBoost engine will also be getting the fuel saving technology — including the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor.

How does Start-Stop technology work?
The basics of Ford’s start-stop technology in its engines is that when you’re stopped at a traffic light, the engine will automatically shut itself off to cut down on emissions and unnecessary fuel usage. Then when the brake is released the F-150’s engine will start backup again. This mode is turned off in certain circumstances, like when the F-150 is being used to tow something or if four-wheel drive is engaged.
What Ford vehicles come with Auto Start-Stop?
