The Ford F-150 Pickup Truck

Much like the Silverado, the F-150 can come in a variety of cabs and bed lengths. From regular to extended cabs, drivers can get a size truck they are comfortable with and fit their passengers comfortably for long hauls. The F-150 can come in many models, including XL, XLT, Lariat, Tremor, King Ranch, Platinum, and Raptor. There is a variety of interior and exterior colors to choose from that customers will find extremely appealing.

The engine for an F-150 can be an EcoBoost V6, Turbocharged V6, or a V8 for most modern models. Many models have the option to be two-wheel drive or four, however, models such as the Raptor and the Tremor are exclusively four-wheel drive. Depending on the engine, the F-150 can put out anywhere from 290 to 430 horsepower, with 265 to 570 lbs-ft of torque.

The Four-wheel drive F-150 can also have several driving modes, such as Deep Snow/Sand, Mud/Rut, and even Rock Crawl, for limited models. These driving modes can optimize the truck's driving capacities to get drivers through even the toughest terrain.

While the F-150 may not come with as many connected services as the Silverado, the F-150 does have the advantage of FordPass™, SYNC®, A Wi-Fi hotspot, and many other features.

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum

Now For Something Completely Different

For divers that really want something different but still have the incredible power of an F-150, we recommend the Ford F-150 Lightening™. Ford's all-electric truck is truly something remarkable. The F-150 Lightening is Ford's all-electric truck that has immense towing capacity and capabilities that can't be found with any other Ford truck.

This truck has powerful acceleration with a targeted horsepower of 563 and 775 lbs-ft of torque. Just because there is no traditional engine doesn't mean this truck can't accomplish what other F-150s can. In fact, this unique truck can accomplish tasks that others cannot, such as powering your house. Yes, you read that correctly. The Ford Lightening can power a home for up to ten days, depending on energy conservation. If ever the power goes out, this truck can provide the power to keep things running smoothly at home.

This truck also has astounding 4x4 capabilities that allow drivers to get through rough terrain, whether it is for work or play. An interesting and fascinating feature of this truck is the front trunk. Because there is no engine, this leaves more room for drivers to haul more equipment. The front trunk can be as big as 14.1 cubic feet, which is perfect for luggage, tools, or even four hundred pounds of concrete. It is amazing how far this truck can go.
