1. Its Power and Strength

The Ford F-150’s power is one of the best things about this truck. A 6.2-liter V8 engine is standard, and that engine produces 430 pound-feet of torque and 385 horsepower. This goes above and beyond what most standard engines can provide. However, there are several other engine options you can choose from, too, and this includes a turbodiesel option. The turbodiesel engine is a 6.7-liter V8 with 1,050 pound-feet of torque and 475 horsepower.

2. Its Terrain Optimization

You’ll feel much safer when you know your vehicle’s performance is optimized for your driving circumstances. Slippery ground, deep sand or snow, and towing create different conditions for your driving, and not every truck is equipped to handle those conditions by default. That’s why the Ford F-150 comes with modes for driving in the conditions stated above. There’s also an eco mode for when you wish to maximize fuel efficiency.

3. Its Towing Capacity

The Ford F-150 has an admirable max towing capacity of 37,000 pounds. This is one of the best towing capacities of any truck in its class. You can utilize this when your truck is equipped with a gooseneck hitch. If you want to make towing even more of a breeze, then the Pro Trailer Backup Assist will help you hitch up your trailer and reverse while hooked up to it. It grants you access to a knob that lets your truck know how you want it to maneuver your trailer.

4. Its Off-Roading Abilities

Do you enjoy off-roading? If you do, then the Ford F-150 is a fantastic truck for you. Many of its trims have all-wheel drive to enhance traction on tricky terrain. There’s also a Tremor Off-Road package to make driving on the trails even safer and easier. It has trail control and rock crawl mode, and it equips your truck with 35-inch tires. You can also ford water that’s 33 inches deep with this package.

5. Its Safe Gear Storage

If you have any valuable items you wish to keep in your cabin, then you’re going to want to keep them as safe as possible. You can do this using the lockable under-seat box that’s integrated into the cabin’s floor. Potential thieves can’t unlock the box, and they won’t be able to easily rip it out of the floor and run away with it, either. Meanwhile, there’s a BoxLink system with lockable storage in the truck bed if you want to transport valuable cargo there, too.
