Exterior Options

Not to be overlooked is the F-150's high-grade, high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy bed and frame. It doesn't rust like steel, and it's just as strong. It's also much lighter than steel, allowing Ford engineers to make the new F-150 more capable and efficient than any of its predecessors.

Ford F-150 innovation didn't end with the use of military-grade aluminum for strength and efficiency. For any job you have to tackle, the F-150 has features you won't find on any other pickup.

• Four Boxlink cleats bolted to the side of the bed that give multiple options for tying down your load.
• Removable ramps stowed on the sides of the cargo bed that mount quickly to the tailgate, making it easy to load heavy rolling equipment.
• An integrated tailgate step that holds up to 350 lbs. and makes climbing into the cargo bed a lot easier.
• LED box lighting that illuminates the bed for those jobs that go on after dark.

The Ford F-150 comes in 15 factory colors (plus dual-colors): race red, stone gray, velocity blue, agate black, iconic silver, antimatter blue, space white, carbonized gray, oxford white, lead foot, guard, kodiak brown, rapid red, smoked quartz, and star white. All trims come with black, silver, antimatter blue, and one of the grays.

Interior

Yesterday's luxury sedan has been replaced by the full-size pickup of today, and the F-150 offers both the roominess and the equipment to back that statement. With options that range from a panoramic sunroof to heated and cooled massaging seats, as well as the touchscreen infotainment system with its exceptional graphics, you’ll truly enjoy time spent in your new Ford F-150.

The Ford F-150 comes in 3 cab sizes, the regular cab, the Supercab, and the Supercrew that can each be paired with multiple truck bed lenghts of 5.5 feet, 6 feet, or 8 feet. The regular cab and Supercab do not come with 5.5 foot beds and the Supercrew does not come with an 8 foot bed.

Engine Specifications

When it comes to engine selection, the F-150 offers an incomparable selection, from a 3.0-liter diesel that provides 440 lb-ft of torque, to the strongest engine, which is not a V-8, but an exceptionally powerful twin-turbo V-6. It boasts the class-leading capability of towing 13,200 pounds. As for towing, if you are pulling anything less than 7,000 pounds, you won't require the Trailer Tow package with either the V-8 or the top-of-the-line V-6. Additionally, most engines pair with Ford's reliable 10-speed automatic transmission. All trims are available as either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with a typical difference of $3,425 in MSRP, but some trim/cab/bed combinations up to $4,645 difference.

You'll have plenty of range in a single tank of gas to cruise most of the Southwestern Chicago area, from Joliet to New Lenox and Channahon. From Shorewood to Minooka and Romeoville; or from Plainfield to Morris and Lockport.
