What separates the F150 from other trucks?

Blog Jul 21st, 2021

Ford has built many of the “best in class” trucks over the past few centuries, and one particular model that always tends to stand out to buyers is the Ford F-150. In fact, the F-150 continues to be the #1 selling truck in North America – an achievement that speaks for itself.

The F-150 stands out because it combines function with power and unbeatable features in its standard line of trucks. With state-of-the-art powertrain, safety systems, and standard auto-start and stop systems, the Ford F-150 is in a category of its own against some of the most rivaled competition. Simply put – this truck is built to work hard and play hard, for drivers who are serious about performance.

The Ford F-150 difference

1. Built to tow

You heard that right! The Ford F-150 is and always has been built to tow. With a towing capacity of up to 13,200 pounds, the F-150 gets you where you need to go. Most F-150 trucks are equipped with features suitable for both industrial/business towing and leisure towing. Whether it’s a boat, bricks, trailer, or work equipment, these exceptional capabilities will help you transition from weekday to weekend smoothly.

2. Military-grade body

Did you know that the body of the 2020 and 2021 Ford F-150 is made from military-grade aluminum alloy? This exclusive truck body material is one of the toughest bodies on the market today. Don’t let the light frame fool you; aluminum alloy is highly dent-resistant and extremely strong. The body of this truck is built to withstand even the toughest conditions.

3. State-of-the-art technology
