The Ford Territory’s Fuel Efficiency

With gas prices constantly fluctuating, driving with fuel efficiency in mind is more important than ever. The Ford Territory is equipped with smart technology to maximize every drop of fuel. Featuring an EcoBoost engine with an Auto-Start/Stop function, paired with an advanced 7-speed automatic transmission with a wet-type Dual-Clutch Engagement System, the Territory offers exceptional responsiveness and performance.

To further reduce fuel consumption, whether you’re driving in the city or on the highway, consider the following tips:

Drive Thoughtfully
Harsh acceleration and braking can significantly impact your fuel consumption. Always observe the road ahead and traffic around you, and try to react early to changes so you can accelerate slowly, coast early, and brake gently. Smoother driving leads to better fuel efficiency.

Avoid shifting into Neutral when driving downhill to save fuel; this is a myth and is also dangerous. When you select “D” on your Territory’s rotary shifter, the smart shift logic ensures you are always in the most efficient gear for the speed and acceleration you need. Choose the driving mode that best suits you—Normal, Eco, Sport, or Mountain—to balance power, torque, and fuel efficiency on all roads.

Ensure the Stop/Start function is enabled, which helps improve fuel economy by reducing fuel usage when coming to a full stop.

Cruise control isn’t just convenient; it can also save fuel. Territory variants with adaptive cruise control can manage the accelerator, brakes, and transmission, delivering improved fuel economy and a smoother driving experience.

Service is Serious
Stick to your vehicle’s service schedule. Ford service technicians will perform a thorough health check on your Territory, looking for anything that needs replacing, cleaning, or aligning. Misaligned wheels, for instance, not only pose a safety issue but also force your vehicle to work harder, increasing fuel consumption.

Check Your Tires
The tires on your Ford Territory are chosen to provide the best blend of fuel economy and performance. Under-inflated or worn-out tires increase rolling resistance, making your vehicle work harder and use more fuel. Check tire pressures regularly and ensure they are inflated to the manufacturer’s recommendation, found on a placard on a door jamb. The Territory’s tire pressure monitoring system will alert you if your tires need adjustment.

Weight is Your Enemy
Avoid carrying unnecessary items, as extra weight makes your vehicle work harder, increasing fuel use.

Aerodynamics Matters
Territory’s roof rails make installing roof racks and carrying items easier. However, remove roof boxes or bike carriers when not in use to avoid creating unnecessary drag.

Adapt to the Weather
Using your vehicle’s climate system makes your engine work harder and use more fuel. To keep your climate system efficient, use the Auto mode, which enables fuel-saving strategies and ensures the system reaches your desired temperature settings efficiently. Park in the shade or use a sunshade to keep the cabin cool, reducing the air conditioning’s workload.
