Half of America liked the Ford F-150 before this recent update, and now the other half is probably going to buy it, too. While it’s not a complete overhaul there are a lot of significant and pretty cool new features to talk about. So why are you still standing there?
Let’s get the Captain Obvious ones out of the way. The exterior has seen some changes to the front fascia that give the F-150 more presence and gravitas. As if it needed it.
There are some changes in the character lines in the sheet metal and the headlights and taillights get a redo.
On the tailgate, there are some cool deets as well.
There are some notches here for C-clamps, a pocket to put your phone, and even a spot for your beer for when you’re done with all that work.
The 12.0-inch touchscreen that you can see from Canada comes standard on the Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. It’s available as an option on the XLT.
The base model gets an 8-inch version. There’s an updated instrument cluster that now gets a 4-inch digital display between the analog gauges that can be upgraded to a fully digital 12.3-inch display. Also, seen from Canada.
The interior looks a lot sleeker and less busy, while still being really usable and functional.
Let’s talk about the recline on these bad boys upfront. Full recline like a first-class seat on Virgin Atlantic to London, folks, for a bit of shut-eye. Another noteworthy addition, this fold-down shifter. That shifter help make room for the optional work surface you can get. Great for folks on the job site using their laptop or who might need to eat on the go.
In the drivetrain department there six options on the F-150 to chose from.
First is a naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V6, a twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, a 5.0-liter V8 that now includes a bump in horsepower (400 hp/410 lb-ft torque) as well as a cylinder deactivation system. A 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost, 3-liter V6 turbodiesel…
And an all-new Hybrid model called the Power Boost pairs the 3.5-liter turbo EcoBoost V6 with an electric motor that can now easily out tow the Ram 1500.
Truly this thing is a monster (430 hp/570 lb-ft torque) Look at those torque numbers. (12,000 pounds max towing). Also, gets a 700-mile range on a tank of gas (25 city/26 hwy). You can get one of these on an XL SuperCrew for a starting price of $41,145.
All engines mate to Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission, which we haven’t had 100% love for in the past especially in the Explorer. Would be nice to get slightly quicker shifts when we’re in manual mode.
I wish we had the hybrid engine to test. But we’ll snag that from Ford next time around.
When it comes to safety Ford’s upgraded there too including the entire Co-Pilot 360 safety suite as an option. Which is a good thing because this thing is big.
Another one of the cool features available now is Ford’s Pro Power Onboard Generator. Basically, you can plug-in appliances to this thing.
It’s got a bunch of plugs in the back. You can get it configured differently for what your specific needs are.
It comes standard on higher trim levels but is only a $750 option on the lower trims, but that’s still an insane value. You can get a 2kw, 2.4kw, or 7.2kw version of it depending on which trim level you buy.
We heard about folks in Texas using this feature when their power went out during the recent storms, and are impressed. This is by far one of the coolest features to get put on any vehicle that I’ve seen in a while.
Ford’s Pro Trailer Backup Assist helps out with towing duties with great camera angles and guidelines. Images are crystal clear.
Pricing on the F-150 two-door issue starts at $28,940. With two half doors on the SuperCab, you’re looking at $33,025. For whole doors in the second row that starting price moves up to $36,650. The FX-4 off-road package adds $1,005 there. On the high end the Limited trim is going to start at $70,825.
