The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling pickup truck in the US market for many years and Ford has used that leverage to continually build their trucks to be more advanced than others on the market. This was the first truck to wear the aluminum skin to make it much lighter than it was in the past. This was also the first truck to use a new ten-speed automatic transmission to offer the added power needed for better towing and more fuel economy for you to be able to have an improved performance from the F-150 that you love to drive on the road, at the jobsite and out on the trails.

The drive of a new F-150 is different from trim and model to trim and model making it easy for you to enjoy the benefits of having a pickup truck that’s highly capable and able to give you the agility and power you want to enjoy. No matter which engine you choose the F-150 is formidable on the road and is one of the most admired vehicles that we see riding down the highway. You can have one for your daily driver with a V6 engine that offers great fuel mileage or you can beef it up with a massive V8 engine that allows you to enjoy over 12,000 pounds of towing capacity to be the truck you want to haul your load around with.

Speaking of engines, let’s go ahead and take a look at the engines offered for the F-150. The base model received a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 282 horsepower and 253 lb.-ft. of torque. All of the engines for the F-150 except the one found in the Raptor use a six-speed automatic transmission for the shifting. This gives you a fuel mileage of 18 city/25 hwy mpg in 2WD models and 17 city/23 hwy mpg for the 4WD versions.

Next up is the 2.7-liter twin turbocharged V6 that offers up 325 horsepower and 375 lb.-ft. of torque. This model will allow you to enjoy 19 city/26 hwy mpg on 2WD models and 18 city/23 hwy mpg in the 4WD versions. Third on the list is the 3.5-liter twin turbocharged V6 that pushes the power up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. This is a power beast and with the transmission you still have the enjoyment of 18 city/25 hwy in 2WD and 17 city/23 hwy mpg for the 4WD models.

Moving up to the biggest engine in the lineup we have the 5.0-liter V8 which brings in 385 horsepower and 387 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine can get a lot of work done and is one of the most trusted engines on the F-150. This beast gives you 15 city/22 hwy mpg in 2WD and 15 city/21 hwy mpg in 4WD. Finally, the Raptor engine is an improved 3.5-liter twin turbocharged V6 that offers you 450 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one of the most powerful V6 engines on the market and it uses the ten-speed automatic transmission to give you 15 city/18 hwy mpg and is only set up in 4WD.

Because this is a pickup truck there are tons of ways you can set up the truck to fit your needs. Every F-150 will have a hydroformed box frame that’s made from high strength steel and the aluminum body panels and truck bed to give you a lighter build than in older models. The standard equipment you’ll enjoy on this truck includes the hill start assist, a trailer sway control; fail safe cooling, curve control, and much more. These features are meant to help you enjoy what you need when it comes to towing your trailer with this full size truck.

The options run the gambit for Ford with the ability to add deployable running boards, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, inflatable rear seatbelts, blind spot detection, a voice activated navigation system, real time traffic updates, text message alerts, and a host of great luxury features at the top of the lineup with the Platinum or King Ranch versions.

This truck is the king of payload, giving you the hauling ability you want to have in a truck that’s built to last and built for work. With the new added power and the Sync Connect added to the XLT and higher trims, the F-150 has not only continued to be an awesome truck for work, but now it has the connectivity you want to enjoy on the road.
