Pickup trucks are the real workhorse of the industry, offering the comfort of a sedan combined with the capabilities of a truck. Plus, the extra boot space and towing features are why many love this automobile. Ford is one of the top brands in the pickup truck industry. The all-new F150® is one of Ford’s prized launches, with exclusive trim variants at affordable price tags. Here is everything you must know about the car.

Trim variants
Standard trims include the new Ford® F150® XL, XLT, LARIAT, KING RANCH®, PLATINUM, LIMITED, TREMOR®, AND RAPTOR®. But Ford’s promise of a fully electric vehicle will be delivered soon with their most impressive launch ever. The F150® LIGHTNING is a fully electric dual motor all-wheel drive pickup that can do 0-60 in under 4 seconds generating over 775 pounds of torque. But that’s not all; the new Ford F150® LIGHTNING EV can tow an amazing 10,000 pounds for a decent 300 miles range before it runs out of charge. Ford claims it’s also one of the more affordable electric pickups in the upcoming lineup for 2022 and 2023.

Performance
Ford F150®’s most premium trim launching in late 2022, the RAPTOR R™, packs a massive powerhouse under the hood with a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine spitting out 700 HP and generating 640lbs worth of torque. Too technical? Well, that means the engine is powerful enough to conquer any terrain and driving condition while managing an even more impressive towing capacity. Of course, the RAPTOR R™ is also likely to be one of the most expensive makes in this segment. The new Ford F150® models also offer a decent setup under the hood with multiple engine options. You can enjoy a magnificent 5.2-liter supercharged V8, 37″ all-terrain tires, black Recardo front seats with leather insert seating surfaces, and a unique interior. The base variant of the F150® maintains a fuel efficiency of 14/19 mpg for city or highway driving, driving conditions contingent.

Design and build
Each year Ford introduces a new build that surpasses driver expectations when compared to its predecessors. So, what’s expected in the next lineup? Well, for starters, there is an off-road version introduced for the thrill seekers. It’s a nice segue between the base variant and the more expensive RAPTOR R™ model with off-road features and capabilities for an affordable price. The interior comfort and exterior styling certainly offer premium yet functional styling. From the base XL work truck to the more premium luxury refined RAPTOR R™, there is something additional added to each upgrade apart from the advanced tech features and infotainment systems. In terms of external appearance, the F150® is not so different from the Chevrolet Silverado and the Dodge RAM 1500 series. But Ford additionally offers customized appearance packages that you can modify as you like for a truly custom build. That is a real bargain for the price depending on the trim variant.
