There's
More Reasons than One to Choose the Ford F-150
Whether
you've utilized the services of a local plumber, electrician or really
any type of home repair person, you've likely had the
opportunity to welcome the Ford F-150 into your driveway.
Available in a variety of iterations, cab styles and bed lengths, there's quite
a few reasons why this iconic pickup has become a favorite among Salt
Lake City area contractors. With such a following, this pickup has come to be
recognized as America's bestselling truck for 40 years, as well as Ford's most
popular vehicle for 35 years.
Tow
and Haul to Your Heart's Desire
Driven
by a 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 282 horsepower and 253 foot-pounds of torque, your
standard F-150 can tow up to 7,600 pounds of your favorite plaything. There's
also an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine that boasts 325 horsepower and 375
foot-pounds of torque. Opt for this mighty engine and you'll find yourself pulling
8,500 pounds while schlepping 2,210 pounds. And for shoppers who feel a pickup
isn't a pickup without a V8 under its hood? There's Ford's 5.0-liter engine
rated at 385 horsepower and 387 foot-pounds of torque.
While
the aforementioned engines carryover to the 2019 model year unchanged, the
top-of-the-line 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 returns with 10 more horsepower and 50
more foot-pounds of torque. Rated at 375 horsepower and 470 foot-pounds of
torque, this engine achieves 12,200 pounds of towing ability and 3,220 pounds
of payload capacity.
Stocked
to the Brim with Driver Assist Features
The
act of parking a full-size pickup takes both talent and patience. That is,
unless, you opt for a Ford F-150 equipped with Ford's new Pro Trailer Backup
Assist. Simply turn a knob in the direction you want the trailer to go and this
year's F-150 will be delighted to follow directions. Further, utilize the
F-150's four exterior cameras, and you'll find yourself reaping the benefits of
a 360-degree view around the vehicle.
Make
your way to the open road and you'll find the adaptive cruise control
intuitively maintains your vehicle's distance from those driving in front of
you. Other notable safety features available on this year's model include:
Curve
Control, which automatically reduces the vehicle's torque and applies
the brakes if you've taken a corner too quickly.
A
blind spot information system that warns the driver when
another vehicle is in their blind spot.
A
lane keeping assist system that alerts the driver if the
vehicle has strayed from its lane.
A
Versatile Interior that's Able to Carry Cargo and People Alike
Step
inside and you'll find that the thoughtfully designed interior of the 2019 Ford
F-150 has big beefy knobs and buttons that are effortless to hit, even while
wearing work gloves. The seats are also all-day comfortable and the rear of the
vehicle can be folded for carrying cargo rather than people.
