The Ford F-150, the best-selling vehicle on a day-to-day basis, has been the strong choice for freedom-loving Americans from all walks of life; whether they want something to work for or for going places like a real American. With the arrival of the 14th-generation model, the all-new F-150 promises to be the most advanced pickup truck that became the second home for the patriots.
Priced at 28,940 US dollars plus additional costs, the all-new Ford F-150 brings the blue-collar workers' favorite workhouse into greater depths by mixing the brains and the brawns together to create a pickup truck that works for people from all walks of life.
Before we get to know more about the F-150's strong-arm tactics that made America's favorite pickup truck great again, let's get to know more about its masculine exterior design and at first glance, it's somewhat similar to the previous model it replaces, only better. Of course, because this is the truck made for all kinds of duties, several variants have different grilles to choose from and one of them comes with the new active grille shutters, making it the most aerodynamic F-150 ever made.
Come at the back and this is where the real work begins for blue-collar men flexing their muscles. Sure, it doesn't have the fancy rear gate like the ones you get from the Ram 1500 but the new F-150 can be fitted with new zone lighting, Pro Power Onboard to plug your stuff on, and a tailgate work surface that comes with rulers, media holder, cup holder, and extra storage on the tailgate itself. Although it's somewhat more of a gimmick for a pickup truck, it's the ideal desk job for men who thought they can't sit on both boards. Why not?
Come inside, there's more serious stuff to do in the new F-150 because apart from the optional stuff at the tailgate, you can fit the interior with the new work surface you can turn this truck into an office. You can imagine doing all the work-from-home jobs while going out on an offroad trip but that would be risky. Also, the new F-150 comes with the available max recline seats so you can rest easy before doing time. Of course, we wouldn't forget about the high-tech cockpit that packs a 12-inch instrumental cluster and a 12-inch touchscreen with SYNC 4 on it. With all the tech and convenience loaded into the new F-150, the work-from-truck concept has just gotten real now.
Under the hood, the new F-150 is offered with the choice of six powertrains ranging from a beefy 3.0L Power Stroke turbodiesel that is almost as beefy as the Cummins guys that Ram uses, up to the almighty 5.0L TI-VCT V8 engine producing 400hp of power and 410lb-ft of torque.
For the first time in an F-150, a 3.5L Powerboost hybrid V6 engine is offered and this powertrain produces 430HP of power, 570lb-ft of torque, and can tow up to 12,700lbs of stuff not to mention the class-leading payload of up to 2,120lbs.
How about driving? Well, being an F-150, it still works like an F-150 but having the one with a four-wheel drive is where the real party begins because offroading is where the F-150 does best, almost. Thanks to its military-grade aluminum body, this new F-150 can withstand all kinds of punishment it comes across, allowing this truck to come back home as it was nothing happened. When you go for the off-road-oriented Tremor variant which comes with available Trail 1-Pedal Drive, Trail Control, and Trail Turn Assist, plus monotube front and twin-tube rear shocks, it sure loves playing rough.
On the subject of playing rough, the new F-150 now boasts a wide array of driver-assist features and it's the only pickup to offer Active Drive Assist.
The new F-150 is now the best F-150 ever made because of its productive conveniences, a wide range of powertrains including the first-ever hybrid variant, handy-capable dynamics fit for all kinds of roads, and numerous tech installed on it. It's no doubt that the blue-collar patriots' choice has now evolved into a white-collar workhorse that loves getting itself dirty like a real patriotic American. That's Ford's national right done right!
