Default Flex fuel question

I'm looking at a 2015 F-150. It doesn't say on the webpage that the truck is on if it's flex fuel or not. So I checked the pics, there isn't a flex fuel sticker on the tailgate. I thought all new vehicles are flex fuel. Am I wrong on that? I do have the trucks vin # if that would help.

I don't believe the turbo v6's are flex fuel, only the 5.0 and 3.5 na. Correct me if that is wrong.

It is a turbo V6. It will still burn that 10% ethanol stuff though won't it?

I think if your filler neck (or cap in other vehicles) would be yellow if it's flex fuel. I know my 5.0 is yellow and flex

I have a 2012 that is flex fuel, it has the yellow filler cap. What I really need to know is if it's not flex fuel, will it still run on the 10% ethanol gas? I've never run my 2012 on ethanol because there isn't anywhere around here to get the E-85 stuff. Not that I would run it on E-85 even if there was.

Yes you can. If you notice on that black cap e0-e15. Flex fuel means the vehicle can burn higher ethanol concentrations like e85. 10 percent ethanol fuel is extremely common and can be burned in most engines.
