The Ford F-150 is a truck that needs no introduction, from its seven-decade history, 13 generations, to its crown of best-selling truck for more than 35 years, and the famous “Ford Built Tough” slogan; the F-150 truck has achieved an unmatched level of sales success.
The 2019 Ford F-150 hangs on to its best-selling truck title with a bevy of powertrains, thousands of build possibilities, and a seemingly endless reserve of truck bona fides.
Ford makes the F-150 in three body styles: Regular cab, SuperCab and SuperCrew. The SuperCab with an 8-foot bed is the longest F-150 you can buy, measuring in at 250.5 inches. You’ll be sacrificing interior space that way. The SuperCrew does have regular doors and obviously provides the most interior room. Seating for either five or six is available with either the SuperCab and SuperCrew. The interior feels like it has a lot of space and tons of headroom.
The Raptor engine has been made available in the maximum-luxury Limited trim. That means you can now have 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque in an F-150 that isn’t an off-road beast. The F-150 XLT trim also adds Sync 3 to the list of standard equipment, which means it gets the 8-inch touchscreen now.
The base engine is a 3.3-liter V6 that makes 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. Then Ford offers a pair of turbocharged V6s as upgrades. First is the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, outputting 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. Upgrade from that and you get the 3.5-liter EcoBoost that produces 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Ford still offers the 5.0-liter V8 as an engine upgrade for the 2019 model year, so truck fans can still go for displacement over everything else. There’s also the 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel option wizh 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque. Every engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission except for the entry-level V6, which is mated to a six-speed auto.
