If you’re interested in buying a Ford F-150 but want to learn a little more about it, keep reading. Today’s blog will answer some of the top questions you may have about what this beast of a truck has to offer.
Outstanding Performance
The F-150 is a powerhouse in performance. Starting off strong with its engine options, you will be treated to a powerful engine in the form of a 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 engine. This hybrid engine delivers 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque while being able to also easily tow loads weighing up to 11,200 pounds.
With the Pro Power Onboard, this engine also offers you the ability to get 7.2kW of electrical power when you need it. And speaking of the Pro Power Onboard, the ability to turn your truck into a generator is one of the things California construction workers and laborers love the most.
It has three available outputs in the form of 2.0kW, 2.4kW, and 7.2kW, as mentioned above.
These outputs are strong enough to power up everything from a microwave to portable speakers, air compressors, sanders, reciprocating saws, and electric heaters.
The Tech You Need to Get Through the Day

Rugged and Versatile Design
There’s nothing you can’t do with the F-150 pickup truck - and that’s all thanks to its versatile design.
First up is the Pro Access Tailgate, which offers a 100-degree integrated tailgate that fully opens, so you can still access what’s in the back even if you’re towing something. Depending on the model you purchase, cab sizes vary between 209.1 inches and 243.5 inches.
Next up are the headlamps. If you’re traveling in poor visibility conditions, the LED Dynamic Bending Headlamps and fog lamps will cut through the darkness so you can see clearly. The inside is pretty cool, too!
Inside, there’s under-seat storage, flip and fold rear seats for extra storage, and an interior work surface so you can turn your truck into a mobile office when working with a client off-site.
Going Off the Beaten Path
Sure, the F-150 is a great work vehicle, but you are still going to use it for daily life. If you want to go off-roading one weekend with your family or your friends, the F-150 makes it easy. The Raptor model comes with multiple drive modes meant to tackle any type of terrain, including but not limited to Rock Crawl, Slippery, and Off-Road.
The Raptor model also comes with a Terrain Management System and a 5-link rear suspension for more control on rugged terrain. It also has available FOX Racing Dual-Live Valve Shocks to adjust to different terrains and road conditions.
The TREMOR model, on the other hand, can be equipped with off-roading packages and comes with 33” treads so you have excellent traction no matter where you go.
