• 325-horsepower, 2.7-liter V6
• 250-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6
• 400-horsepower, twin-turbo V6

The towing and hauling capacities vary, depending on the configuration and available features. Some of the engines can tow up to 14,000 pounds, while the base 3.3-liter V6 maxes out at 8,200 pounds. The best-in-class payload capacity is 3,310 pounds with the right gear ratios enabled.

Exterior and Interior Features

Ford carried over most of the truck's good looks for the new model year. The most recent iteration comes in three cab styles: Regular Cab, Super Cab, and Super Crew. Similarly, there are three bed options for the F-150, including one that is 5.5 feet, a larger 6.5-foot bed, and a massive 8-foot bed. The truck sits on 17-inch wheels in the base trim, while higher trims have 18- and 20-inch wheels. Chrome accents the exhaust tip, tailgate handles, two-bar grille, and front and rear bumpers when you order the Chrome Appearance package.

The Regular Cab offers decent leg and headroom for three, making it the ideal work truck. The Super Cab body style seats five, and the Super Crew seats six. Soft touch materials dot the interior, while premium materials are standard in the deluxe cabins of higher trims, like the Lariat, Raptor, and Limited. Every dial and knob appears well-placed and oriented toward the driver. Some convenience features the Ford F-150 has include three-level lumbar support, front folding seats to create a sleeping area, and ambient lighting in some trims. Appearance packages further complement Ford's aggressive-looking F-150.

Technology

A standard 8.0-inch touchscreen with Ford's SYNC® 4 software is available on the base trims. Premium trims get a larger 12.0-inch unit paired with a digital instrument cluster. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Bluetooth connectivity are standard. The available options are an eight or 18-speaker B&O sound system, wireless charging, SiriusXM radio, and onboard telematics. Convenience features, like remote start and in-car navigation, are additional perks for the first three base trims.

Safety

The new F-150 is a top pick to cruise around town due to its safety features. This truck has a long list of safety and driver-assistance features that become standard as you move higher up the trim ladder. Standard features across the board include:

• Forward collision warning

• Automatic high-beam headlights
• Rear parking sensors
• Forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
• Rearview camera

Equally robust safety features in the available segment are adaptive cruise control, driver attention monitoring, park assist, intersection assist, and reverse automatic emergency braking.

Ford equips the F-150 with dual-stage side and roof-mounted airbags for extra safety in the front and rear rows. The Super Crew and Super Cab body styles have two complete sets of LATCH connectors for baby seats.
