For decades, Ford’s F-150 has dependably served countless drivers all over the world. The full-sized truck keeps the tradition going with its rugged, reliable powertrains and the latest technology. Here’s why auto shoppers are flocking to their local dealerships to check out the 2024 Ford F-150!
4 Reasons Drivers Love the 2024 Ford F-150
1. Wide Variety of Capable Engines
Whether you’re looking to tow heavy loads, power through challenging off-road trails, or find a good balance of performance and efficiency, the F-150 lineup is sure to have your ideal powerplant. The base XL’s standard twin-turbocharged 2.7L V6 is more than adequate for just about every task with its output of 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. For those desiring even more muscle, a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 and 5.0L V8 are available and produce 400 hp.
There’s also an available high-output version of the 3.5L that puts out 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque. However, the most powerful motor is the F-150 Raptor’s optional 5.2L supercharged V8 with a whopping 720 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque. Both engines allow for blisteringly quick 0-to-60 times of well under six seconds.
2. Large Towing and Payload Capacities
2.7L-equipped F-150s can tow over 8,000 pounds. Opting for 5.0 V8 or 3.5L V6 unlock a towing capacity of at least 13,000 pounds. As for payload capacity, the truck can carry in excess of 2,000 pounds within its highly reinforced bed. With such impressive towing and payload figures, you’ll have no problem transporting oversized trailers and equipment.
3. Advanced Towing Assistance Technologies
With a standard tow/haul drive mode and trailer sway control, you’ll have a much easier time towing trailers in tricky conditions. Maneuvering into place for hooking up to a trailer can be frustrating, but the available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist can take control of the steering, throttle, and brakes to get the truck into the perfect position.
If you need to back up in confined spaces with a trailer attached, the optional Pro Trailer Backup Assist automatically backs up your setup without the need for a spotter. All you need to do is turn the knob to tell the system where to go.
4. Generous Amenities
The F-150 comes standard with a 12-inch digital instrument panel and a 12-inch Sync 4 infotainment touchscreen with support for great apps like wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity and SiriusXM radio. Lumbar support for both front seats is standard, and many trims offer dual-zone climate control, heated seats, and 8- or 10-way power adjustability for the driver.
For a truly luxurious riding experience, the Platinum model sports genuine leather and Alcantara upholstery, warm ambient lighting, and multicontour seats that do an excellent job of reducing fatigue during longer trips. The trim gets an 8-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system as standard equipment, as well.
When you consider such an amazing list of features, it’s no surprise that the F-150 continues to be the best-selling truck in the country. Head down to Mike Fitzpatrick Ford in Newnan, GA today and see what all the buzz is about!
