The Impressive Performance of the Iconic Ford F-150

Since the 1970s, Ford F-Series trucks have been the best selling pickups in the United States. There are many reasons for this because F-Series trucks are rugged, fuel-efficient, and versatile, and that's just naming a few of their many attributes. Perhaps the biggest reason for the popularity of F-Series trucks over the years, however, has been their excellent Ford performance, and the 2010 Ford F-150 is very much within that tradition of excellence.

The current generation of F-150

The 2020 F-150 has an impressive towing capacity of up to 13,200 pounds, depending on the trim, which means that you've got plenty of options of how you're going to use your F-150 for both work and recreation. Its steel frame is built strong, and it also has a body and bed made of rugged aluminum alloy. These are two of the reasons that the towing capacity is so high. The alloy used to make the bed and body is created by a special heat-treatment process to make it both light and strong, which is why the F-150 can be as tough as it is without being heavy. This is a military-grade alloy, and Ford is justifiably proud of it.

Powerful engines and off-road options

The 2020 F-150 has six options for engines, and all of them are very powerful. On the low end is a V6 290-horsepower engine, and on the high end is a 395-horsepower V8, and the options in between can definitely get you and your payload where you need to go. For those who want the best-possible fuel efficiency, the 3.5L Ecoboost engine delivers with outstanding performance and torque.

If you're going to be hauling a trailer a lot, then the Pro Trailer Backup Assist feature is well worth investing in. This will allow you to squeeze into narrow spaces swiftly and safely even if you're not someone who is comfortable backing up a vehicle with a trailer attached.

For those who need even more performance because they want to go off-road, the Raptor trim is the best option. The Raptor has a modified suspension as well as special fenders, upgraded tires, skid plates and more so that it can handle some serious abuse. Furthermore, the vehicle's Fox shocks allow for a comfortable ride on even the most treacherous terrain. To better grip the ground, the Raptor has an advanced electronic-locking rear differential that comes in handy in off-road situations where other vehicles would have serious problems.

A truck for everyone

The towing and payload capacity of the F-150 are outstanding, and when you also consider that there are six different trim levels available, you start to see why the F-150 is a truck for everyone. The current generation, moreover, is more fuel-efficient than previous ones without sacrificing performance. The F-150 has always been a case of form following function, and Ford has listened carefully to Ford Utah consumers to give drivers who need a reliable, high-performance truck what they are looking for.
