Why choose Ford Trucks
You already know that Ford trucks are tough and capable. But do you know why you should choose Ford trucks over competitors? Here’s a look at just a few of the reasons why Ford trucks continue to be American bestsellers.
It’s a Lifestyle
Modern Ford trucks are much more than mere workhorses; they’ve become a way of life. Your family can pile into the Ford’s spacious SuperCrew cabin and enjoy a comfortable road trip. And your truck bed will haul supplies from Home Depot just as easily as it can manage farming equipment. Got big toys? Ford trucks are a favorite among drivers who want to lug a boat to the beach or a camper into the mountains.
Innovative Engineering
Ford trucks lead the way in performance innovations. For instance, Ford was the first to introduce lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy body panels, creating trucks that are more capable, increasingly efficient, and easier to maneuver than non-aluminum competitors.
Ford trucks also offer a number of tech features you won’t find anywhere else. The Pro Trailer Backup system, for example, makes guiding a trailer in the right direction as simple as turning a knob. Special multicontour front seats will give you a massage on the way home from a long day at work.
Best-in-Class Capabilities
When you want to tow and haul more than the competition, Ford trucks can fulfill your needs. The bestselling F-150 can tow best-in-class loads of up to 13,200 pounds. Depending on how this full-size truck is configured, it can haul up to 3,270 pounds. For workers, that’s money in your pocket. For adventure-loving drivers, that’s equal to an impressive array of camping supplies.
The Ford Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds – one of the best figures in the midsize truck segment. And Ford’s heavy-duty trucks are equally impressive. If you need to tow more than the full-size F-150 can handle, you’ll be pleased to note that the F-250 can tow up to 20,000 pounds’ worth of trailer. Equipped for gooseneck towing, the F-350 tows up to 35,750 pounds and the F-450 tows up to 37,000 pounds.
Truck-Style Efficiency
Ford’s turbocharged engines are specially designed to combine major muscle with modern fuel economy. Some highlights include the F-150’s optional 2.7-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine, which produces 326 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque for tow-friendly action. Better still, this EcoBoost engine earns 22 mpg combined. The F-150 offers an even thriftier option--a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6, which both achieves 24 mpg combined and kicks up dust with 250 horses and 440 pound-feet of torque.
Everybody Can’t Be Wrong
The F-150 pickup truck has been America’s best selling vehicle for decades on end – and for plenty of good reasons. With so many body style configurations and trim models, there’s an F-150 to suit any kind of buyer. The F-150 can be anything from a bare-bones workhorse to a luxury family hauler.
Drivers who need to tow more than what the F-150 can handle look to heavy-duty F-Series models – like the F-250, F-350, and F-450 – to get the job done. And the midsize Ford Ranger is available for truck drivers who don’t require quite as much muscle. And, like the F-150, all of these trucks are available with a wide range of body styles, engines, and luxury features.
