It has been known for quite some time that the Ford F-150 is a popular truck. However, you may not know exactly how popular. In the past three years, the F-150 has sold a new model every 35 seconds. It is, not only the best selling truck in America, but also the best selling vehicle. It beat out the Rav4, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Outback and Tesla for the past three years in a row. But why? What makes the F-150 so popular? Looking at the newest model, the 2022 Ford F-150, may decode the answer to that question.


Power & Capability

Let’s begin with its main feature. It is a truck. There are plenty of other trucks out there, but the F-150excels at being one. To start, it harnesses one of six engines to include the 3.5 L V6 Ecoboost, the 3.5L Hybrid V6 Powerboost and the 5.0L V8. This variety is enticing to people of all walks of life. Everyday businesses may not need the Hybrid Powerboost with 430 HP and 570 Lb-Ft of Torque, but a guy who’s involved in transporting half ton animals may disagree. Speaking of which, folks who need to tow or haul equipment are in luck. The new Ford F-150 comes capable of towing up to 14,000 Lbs with a payload capacity of up to 3,325 Lbs.  Remember that silly video of the ­ F-150 against the Tesla Cybertruck? I think it is time for a rematch.


Technology

If all that sounds great, the cherry on top should be the technology that accompanies those aspects. This newest F-150 comes equipped with the following:

  • Smart Hitchrelays your active tongue weight and makes recommendations to adjust your trailer load for better weight distribution.
  • Onboard Scalesdetailed in both the FordPass App and through the LED Rear Tail lights, the vehicle will let you know your load status to prevent exceeding the payload capacity.
  • Dynamic Hitch Assistactivates through your back up camera to better align the hitch with the trailer.
  • Continuously Controlled Dampingthe vehicle automatically adjusts shock absorber stiffness while towing to match the road surface and provide better control for the driver.

Comforts

The 2022 F-150 is the industry standard regarding trucking, but its comfort features are nothing to scoff at. The 2022 model is as comfortable as it is rugged. Models like the Platinum and Limited have features that rival private jet aircraft. Here are a few of those options:

  • Ford Bluecruise Hands Free Driving
  • 12” Productivity Screen
  • SYNC 4 w/Enhanced Voice Recognition
  • 8 Speaker B&O Sound System
  • Heated & Ventilated Front Seats
  • Heated Rear Seats
  • Max Reclining Driver & Passenger Seat
  • Twin Panel Moonroof

The all new 2022 Ford F-150 is a brilliant piece of craftsmanship. It is distinctly designed to operate in the harshest conditions while providing the comforts of an Alpine Cabin. It provides necessary utility like the 400 W Outlet in the bed and conveniences like Remote Start from the FordPass App. The newest edition of the F-150 is a gem. And with a starting MSRP of $30,495 it is accessible to all walks of life. Check one out today at Laramie Range Ford!
