Built for the hardest work you can dish out, the Ford F-150 maintains its well-deserved title as America's No. 1 Pickup. It's big and chiseled, powerful, responsive and tough as steel, literally. Our Lithia Ford Lincoln of Boise team selected a couple of tough features to illustrate why this remains our top pick.
When Steel Met Aluminum
Safety and capability begin with a crashworthy frame. The Ford F-150 fuses a fully boxed, high-strength steel frame with a super-strong, military-grade aluminum alloy body. It's the best of both worlds, making the Ford F-150 extra-rigid yet much lighter in weight than previous generations. This optimal power-to-weight ratio makes for greater efficiency and better handling without sacrificing passenger safety inside the cabin.
Six Beastly Engines, Hybrid Included
The Ford F-150 boasts a standard 10-speed automatic transmission paired with your choice of six outstanding engines:
- 430-horsepower 3.5-liter PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 (gas/electric)
- 250-horsepower 3.0-liter Power Stroke Turbo Diesel
- 400-horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6
- 400-horsepower 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8
- 325-horsepower 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6
- 290-horsepower 3.3-liter Ti-VCT V8
When equipped accordingly, the Ford F-150 tows and hauls up to 14,000 pounds and 3,250 pounds, respectively. That's more than enough to tow trailers and haul kids and gear through Boise, whether for daily errands or getaways.
