Overview Information

The Ford F-Series is the best-selling pickup in the USA. One of the reasons for its popularity is the wide range of body and powertrain variants for personal use and utility needs. A properly equipped F-150 can tow up to 11,000 lbs. and has a 3,060 lbs. payload capacity. Engine choices include 4.6L and 5.4L V-8s mated to either 4-speed automatic or six-speed automatic. Available F-150 packages include: heavy-duty payload package, trailer tow package, snow-plow prep package, and a SFE fuel economy package.

The F-Series retains its flexibility with a dizzying array of 35 different model choices in three cab styles, two bed styles, three bed lengths, and seven trim levels including a new Platinum edition.
