Ford Trucks

Within the compendium of Ford pickup trucks is the F-Series of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty utility vehicles, as well as the new, more passenger-centric midsize Ranger. The Ford F-Series has topped the sales charts in the USA since 1977 and has maintained itself as the highest-selling automobile overall since 1981. With the seemingly unrelenting popularity of trucks in the USA, new, old, and even classic, the Blue Oval has succeeded in delivering a long list of venerable models for every buyer.

Ford Pickup Truck Models

Here is the latest arrangement of new Ford trucks:

• F-150 - Possibly the most versatile vehicle from the Blue Oval brand, the F-150 receives a selection of six different engines and trims. Options span from a 3.3-liter to a 2.7-liter turbocharged V6, with the biggest motor being a 5.0-liter V8. Two standard V6s are offered - gasoline and diesel - along with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo, which is the most powerful unit. In its most capable form, the entry-level pickup can lug up to 13,200 pounds, although it is on the small side next to its siblings.
• F-150 Raptor - With a burly 3.5L twin-turbo V6 under the hood and a permanent 4x4 drivetrain, it sports Fox Shocks, and long-travel suspension, it’s clear that the Raptor was designed for some rough-housing. The V6 is the same engine you will find under the hood of the brand’s Mustang Shelby GT500, further reinforcing the notion that this a truck meant to be enjoyed. It’s still more than capable of doing some hard work, though, with a max tow capacity of 8,000 lbs, a total payload of 1,200 lbs, and a cargo area of 52.8 cu ft.
• F-250 Super Duty - The first of the official heavy-duty haulers can be fitted with three robust V8’s - a naturally-aspirated gas-fed 6.2- or 7.3-liter, and a turbo-diesel 6.7-liter. With the most powerful setup, this workhorse could lug a total of 15,000 lbs conventionally and up to 22,800 lbs with a gooseneck fitted. The Tremor variant of the F-250 is favored for its aggressive aesthetic, rugged mechanics, and lifted ride height, which gives it excellent off-road performance.
• F-350 Super Duty - With a 1.5-inch larger rear block, tighter suspension springs, and a reinforced midsection, the F-350 is the more hardy ute. Despite having the same powertrain and body configurations as the F-250, it’s the first of the series available with dual back wheels. Here, conventional pulling is capped at 32,000 pounds and the payload limit is set at 7,850 lbs.
• F-450 Super Duty - At the top of the automaker’s heavy-duty lineup is the F-450. It rode into 2020 with a re-tuned turbodiesel V8 mill producing 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque, forwarded to either the rear wheels or all four. It arrives factory-built with a gooseneck hitch in place for a class-leading 37,000-pound pulling potential.
• Ranger - While this 2.3-liter turbo-four powered midsize pickup was only introduced to the USA in 2019, the rest of the world has been enjoying it for almost a decade already. It comes in either a Crew Cab or SuperCab configuration, proving its penchant more towards daily driveability and family comfort. Even leatherette seat covers are acquirable for higher-tier trims. Use varies, too; it should heave up to 7,500 lbs, carry between 1,560 to 2,080 lbs, and cargo space is set at either 43.3 or 52.8 cu ft.
