What's New for the 2019 Ford F-150?

The Ford F-150 is mostly left unchanged from the enormously popular 2018 model year. The truck still comes with an incredibly wide range of options, giving owners of the new F-150 thousands of possible buildouts.

In addition to the hugely potent V6 engines that were available in 2018, the F-150 still has an optional V8 as well as a Power Stroke diesel option, although the latter two are quickly being eclipsed in almost all operational measures by the stunningly capable EcoBoost V6 variants.

Feature Packed Trims for the Ford F-150

The 2019 Ford F-150 comes in many trim levels. The base XL and XLT models are sparsely appointed and primarily geared towards the rough-and-tumble fleet and work-truck markets. The no-frills base-model single-cab variants of the F-150 may be plain, but they still represent one of the most capable, dependable, and rugged work trucks on the market today.

The XL base model comes with the standard Ford 3.3 liter V6, a naturally aspirated engine that produces an astonishing 290 hp and 265 pound-feet of torque. The standard model is also capable of towing trailers weighing up to 9,000 pounds and is capable of handling bed payloads of up to 2,000 pounds.

As you get into the higher trim levels, such as the Lariat and King Ranch, more powerful engines, luxurious appointments, technology packed interiors, and a whole host of cutting-edge safety options become standard. In fact, the King Ranch, with its V8 engine or optional, ultra-powerful twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6, has consistently been ranked as one of the best pickup trucks on the road by a number of major auto publications.

The King Ranch features a Western-themed interior with one of the most ergonomic cab designs of any truck currently in production. The dash features real dials that are easy to grab even while wearing work gloves. And the crew cab models feature a completely retractable rear seat, giving an enormous amount of additional storage space.

At the top of the model lineup is the Raptor. This F-150 features a radically unique front fascia and one of the most powerful V6 engines ever produced. The twin-turbo 3.3 liter makes an astonishing 450 hp and 510 pound-feet of torque, enough to get the massive vehicle to 60 mph in just a hair over five seconds. The Raptor also features one of the nicest interiors of any truck on the market, with a standard crew cab, tailored leather seats, and enough technology to keep the driver learning about it for months.

How Powerful is the Ford F-150?

The 2019 Ford F-150 comes with a number of different engine options, all of which produce both great power and decent to amazing gas mileage. At the bottom of the lineup, the base-model XL and XLT come standard with the aforementioned 3.3 liter, naturally aspirated V6 that makes 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque.

A number of engine upgrades are available, however, including a 2.7 liter EcoBoost that makes an incredible 325 horsepower and delivers a whopping 375 pound-feet of torque. The 2.7 liter is capable of delivering an astonishing 26 miles per gallon on the highway in a crew cab configuration! Compare that with crew cab trucks of just 15 years ago, which typically posted less than 10 miles per gallon on the highway. Clearly, Ford has been doing some serious homework in their engineering department.

How is Ford Leading the Way with Safety?

The rear view camera with dynamic hitch assist helps you be able to see what's behind your to prevent accidents. There are air bags on the front driver and passenger sides, font driver and passenger seat-mounted side, and safety canopy side curtain airbags. The four wheel anti-lock brakes help to keep your truck going steady in the rain, sleet, snow, or any other kind of harsh elements. The safety belts are among those that are not qualified to use the Active Restraint System.
