Take a Closer Look at the 2019 Ford F-150

The Ford F-150 is Ford’s full-size pickup truck and one of the most complete and capable trucks you can find. The 2019 has a few updates to some of the trims including the Limited which will now have the 450 horsepower engine from the Raptor, and the Raptor gets new off-road shocks along with Recaro seats and a Trail Control system. Here is a look at the 2019 Ford F-150.

Trim Options for the 2019 Ford F-150

Ford offers the F-150 in six different main trim levels. The XL comes with 17-inch steel wheels, a pre-wired trailer connection, manual side mirrors, and automatic headlights. The XLT adds power mirrors, alloy wheels, chrome exterior trim and chrome bumpers, and fog lights. The Lariat is the next step up and comes with 18-inch wheels and a trailer hitch, while the King Ranch adds a Western styling theme. The Platinum upgrades to 20-inch wheels and adds power-deployable running boards, and the Limited has 22-inch wheels.

Under the Hood of the 2019 Ford F-150

The base engine for the F-150 is a 3.3-liter V-6 with 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. Up next, a 2.7-liter V-6 will get you 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, and then a 5.-0-liter V-8 that will generate 395 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. A 3.5-liter turbo V-6 will get either 375 horsepower or 510 horsepower. Ford also offers a 3.0-liter diesel engine with 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque.

The F-150 is easy to drive whether you take it through town or over curvy roads. The strong engines give the F-150 plenty of power to make towing and hauling easy, and it can handle up to 13,200 pounds when equipped with the trailer package. The Raptor model is the best choice for any off-road adventures. It has a special four-wheel drive system, and it comes with a modified suspension to help it tackle rough terrain.
