Higher Towing Capacity<\/h3>\n

The Ford trucks of today are built with high-grade aluminum alloy materials, which allows them to be stronger and lighter than most other full or mid-sized competitors. For example, the 2018 F-150 can handle a maximum towing capacity upwards of 5,987\u00a0 kilograms, easily among the tops in its class!<\/p>\n

More Interior and Cab Space<\/h3>\n

With Regular Cab, SuperCab\u00a0and Crew Cab configurations, the full-size trucks in the Ford F-150 family\u00a0are able to\u00a0handle not only your passengers but your cargo as well. With plenty of space for all your belongings, as well as rich, leather-appointed seating arrangements inside, a full-size Ford pickup plays out more like a living room on wheels than a simple truck.<\/p>\n

Better Power and Drivetrain<\/h3>\n

Stamina, performance and unrelenting energy come standard on Ford F-150 trucks, which feature available Power Stroke Diesel engines to give you unprecedented power. Best-in-class horsepower and torque output are yours, as well as a high-capability four-wheel drive system that many mid-size trucks can’t offer!<\/p>\n

More Versatile Body Construction<\/h3>\n

Every pickup user has a different need out of their trucks, which is why the Ford F-150 line is such a favorite. From its\u00a0XLT all the way up to its Platinum cabs, it offers many different cab lengths when most mid-sized competitors only offer a few; plus, with its aluminum alloy construction, the F-150 offers even more towing and payload strength!<\/p>\n
