Power and Performance
With a fully boxed frame comprised of 78-percent high-strength-spec steel and military- and heavy industrial-grade 6000-series aluminum-alloy body, there's no question that 2019 F-150 is built to stand the test of time. The same goes for its six available engines, ranging from EcoBoost V6 and Ti-VCT V6 and V8 to Power Stroke® diesel V6.
Depending on which you choose for the job, you'll be able to rely on anywhere from 250 to 450 horsepower and 265 to 510 pound-feet of torque -- plenty of power for nearly any application. Factor in six- and ten-speed SelectShift® auto transmission options and an available 4x4 drivetrain, and you'll see the truck's full-size mettle tested: it delivers payload and tow ratings that are class-bests, up to 3,270 pounds and up to 13,200 pounds respectively.
F-150 isn't just made for the long haul, however. It's also ready for a pleasure cruise across some of the roughest terrain you can imagine. Equip your favorite model with an FX4 Off-Road package, and you gain an electronic-locking rear differential, underbody skid plates, Hill Descent Control, and tuned shock absorbers, an ideal setup for commanding the landscape matched only by F-150 Raptor, which features a Terrain Management Systemtrade; with selectable drive modes, Torque-On-Demand® transfer case, 3.0-inch FOX Racing Shox, and BFGoodrich KO2 tires.
Safety and Driver-Assist Feature
Ford is dedicated to your drive-time security no matter where the road takes you, and F-150 is a prime example of this commitment. It incorporates passive features for ride leveling like AdvanceTrac® system with RSC® (Roll Stability Controltrade;), to be sure, but also numerous smart technologies. They range from a lane-keeping system to a BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) and cross-traffic alert -- improved situational awareness you can depend on. Likewise, options like adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and a pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection help ensure safe distancing and accident avoidance.
Interior and Technology Features
With the ability to seat three to six, depending on your choice of a regular or extended cab or SuperCrew® configuration and either a 5.5-, 6.5-, or 8-foot bed, F-150 can take on anyone and anything from day-laborers to a boatload of tools and outboard equipment. What's more, you can look forward to a capable mobile office at your fingertips. Choose among SYNC® and SYNC® 3 infotainment systems for entertainment and settings control, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come available for the ride for smartphone integration. An optional SYNC Connect Wi-Fi hotspot can keep you connected to the Web, while available voice-activated navigation and SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link update support put you on course to your destination. Factor in an optional B&O PLAY premium sound system and audio can come in loudly and clearly.
