Ford F-150-The best and most feature rich pick-up in the market
The
top-seller pick-up2018 Ford F-150 was last all-new for the 2015 model year. The
last upgrade enhanced various amazing and effective engine choices, re-designed
current highlights and innovation and, to some degree disputably, presented an
aluminum body that helped the new F-150 to shed more than 700 pounds versus the
older model. Inside and out, the aluminum body hasn't been a problem for
buyers, and it likely does not merit figuring into your choice - however its
subsequent efficiency gains are.
There
are 4 gasoline engines and 1 diesel engine options to choose for with the
F-150.
1.) 3.3-liter V6 engine that makes
290 hp and is available with both RWD and AWD drivetrains. It has an efficiency
of 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.
2.) 2.7-liter Turbocharged V6 rated
at 325 hp. It also comes with an option of RWD or AWD and has a combined
mileage of 18 mpg.
3.) 5.0-liter mammoth V8 engine is
quite adequate for off-roading and towing and has 395 hp on offer.
4.) 3.5-liter Turbo V6 engine that
produces 375 hp and even higher powered 3.5-liter V6 that generates 450 hp and
510 lb.-ft. of torque. It has an efficiency of 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on
the highway.
5.) 3-liter Turbo Diesel powertrain is
for those who need to tow better or travel over mountains on daily basis as the
powerhouse has a good amount of torque of 440 lb.-ft. and generates 250 hp.
F-150 diesel is the most efficient of all the engines too.
A
10-speed automatic gear stick is standard across all the trims which is smooth
and helps engine to make the most of its power hassle free. The truck can tow
7,700 pounds right from the base trim and with 3.5-liter Turbo V6, the towing
capacity goes higher up to 13,200 lbs. All these engines are quite powerful and
depending on what you need the truck for, you can choose amongst any one of
them.The 2018 Ford F 150 base XL trim is priced at $27,380.
Ford
F-150 has a trim for everyone, from a lowly equipped base to a highly equipped Limited
trim. From the front, the truck looks extremely aggressive and huge which is a
good thing. You can make from the exterior looks how strong a performer Ford
F-150 is. Its handling is persuasive and can make anyone a fan of it in
minutes. Steering is quick, responds well while on curves or along the
pavement, and its low turning radius adds to its agility.
Cabin
is where you spend the most of your time in and Ford has done a good job in
making it nicer for everyone. The seats are comfortable and good lateral
support with padded bolster. The knobs are big enough to operate easily and are
placed near to the driver making it user intuitive. If luxury is your need, the
Limited trim is the best suited as it gets leather upholstery and tech loaded.
It
gets an 8-inch infotainment that has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as
standard.
NHTSA
has given the truck 5-star crash test ratings making it one of the best and
safest trucks out there. Even the IIHS
has given it GOOD overall crash test ratings to the car.
Ford
sold a total of 909,330 units of the F-series in USA in 2018 and was named as
the best-selling truck in the country. Well, it isn’t surprising when we look
at all the things ford has offered inside the truck. It can rival any truck and
can outshine them any day in real-life conditions.
