Ford F-150 Specs

Under the hood, the Ford F-150 offers a choice among six powertrains. This lineup starts off with a 3.3L V6 engine that uses Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) to get up to 290 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque.

While the base engine sets a high bar, at the other end of the spectrum is a 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost® engine. It can get up to a best-in-class 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. In between, you’ll find several exciting powertrains to choose from, including a 3.0L Power Stroke® V6 Turbo Diesel engine that gets up to 250 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque.

Towing Capacity & Features

The Ford F-150 offers a best-in-class towing capacity of up to 13,200 pounds. Whether you’re hauling a heavy trailer or just a couple of dirt bikes, there are lots of features that can help make towing safer and easier for you.

It starts with giving you a clear view of your cargo. Both lining up with your cargo and backing it into place are simple with the Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, which features a Rear View Camera that can show you live images on your dashboard monitor of your hitch and what’s behind your truck. These cameras can also work together to act as an overhead 360-Degree Camera with Split-View Display.

During your drive, Trailer Sway Control is constantly monitoring your cargo and using corrective braking to make sure it stays in line with your truck. Plus, the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with Trailer Coverage and Cross-Traffic Alert can help you change lanes, even if you’re pulling a long boat behind you.

While the camera system lets you see every angle of your truck and cargo, Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ can also back your truck up for you. Just turn the dial on your dashboard and it’ll steer your trailer into place.  

Truck Bed & Payload

You can be confident that the Ford F-150 is also made to carry lots of heavy cargo that doesn’t require a trailer. It can manage a best-in-class payload of up to 3,270 pounds. Plus, a series of available dent- and scrape-resistant bedliners can keep your truck looking great.

Then, there are three truck bed sizes to choose from. Whether you opt for the 5.5-, 6.5-, or 8-foot truck bed, it’ll be made out of a durable high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy.

There are also plenty of accessories you can add that will make your truck bed more versatile. For example, LED cargo box lighting can help you work at night, and a series of BoxLink™ removable and lockable tie-down cleats lets you keep your cargo secure.
