Ford F 150



Overview of the Ford F 150
Learn about the Ford F 150Summary
The Ford F-150 is synonymous with power and durability. Because of its towing and hauling capability, this truck is a popular choice in the construction industry. Thanks to its full range of safety features and military-grade aluminum-alloy body, you'll feel ready for anything behind the wheel.
Available in two-door and four-door options with plenty of available upgrades, you could easily make this a family car. However, keep in mind that a truck as powerful as the F-150 requires a high spend on gas. The most recent F-150 model comes with six engine options, including turbo diesel.
Safety
Ford sums up its F-150 truck in one word: tough. Built to take on military and industrial tasks, the F-150 is designed for strength and durability. The elevation, size, and military-grade aluminum-alloy body and bed will make you feel protected on the highway and backroads.
Models from 2008 come standard with:
- Driver and passenger airbags
- Four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) and traction control for driving safely on slippery roads
- Daytime Running Lights
- Adjustable Pedals
Newer models from 2017 add high-tech features like AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, which applies the brakes when the car senses swerving or rolling.
Interior
The first choice for F-150 buyers is between the two-door and four-door models. Both have tough exteriors that make way for comfortable, spacious, and supportive seating, with an intuitive infotainment system, dome and fade-to-off interior lighting, and plenty of add-ons to make driving even more enjoyable.
Technology
Perhaps one of the most impressive features of the F-150 truck is just how much technology runs through it. Even standard truck models are equipped with a Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking system (on newer models). Other technological add-on features include:
- 8" LCD productivity screen on the dashboard, making it easy for drivers to track their fuel consumption, towing data, and more 360-degree camera with split-view display to help see all angles—especially helpful for maneuvering in tight spaces
- Adaptive cruise control to facilitate maintaining a reasonable distance between cars
- Blind Spot Information System
- Lane-Keeping System
Models from 2009 also have an array of tech features available—though mostly on upper trims—such as a CD stereo with an auxiliary audio jack, satellite radio, Bluetooth, and navigation with a backup camera.
Space
For a truck that's classified as a light-duty full-size pickup, its cab space is impressive. Ranging from 5.5 ft to 8.5 ft, the F-150 can load up to 3,270 lbs. A larger-than-life vehicle, this pickup truck offers ample leg room for you and your passengers.
Comfort
With all that power beneath the hood, it's only natural to want to see what the F-150 can really do. The most standard F-150 model is equipped with independent front suspension for better handling and stability. Keep in mind that travelling through snow and mud may clog the retractable box sidestep, so a thorough clean will be required after going off the beaten path. All F-150 models come with plush seating at the rear and in the front, which offers a range of adjustment options to suit any driver's preference.
