The Ford F-150 has long been considered one of the most reliable work trucks. In fact, Ford trucks have been the best-selling work vehicles in North America for 50+ years and counting. That’s because Ford trucks are rugged, dependable, and built to last. The brand new 2022 Ford F-150 lives up to all the expectations and has some of the best features available on the market this year. Here are a few of the great features of the new F-150.
1. Standard Automated Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
Safety is one of the most important aspects of driving a vehicle, and Ford doesn’t disappoint with the built-in Automated Emergency Braking System that can autonomously apply the brakes to help prevent a collision in the event of an emergency. This year, the system includes pedestrian detection, which can sense people in front of the vehicle and automatically brake to avoid hitting them in certain situations.
2. Available Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keeping Assist
One of the most common problems on America’s interstates today is lane drifting which commonly causes accidents when drivers become fatigued. The available lane departure warning system can notify you if you begin to drift out of your lane unintentionally so that you can stop and rest if need be. If pulling over isn’t an option, then the system can also help you steer so that you can remain safely centered in your lane.
3. 12-Inch Infotainment Display with Improved Sync4
The new F-150 comes with a standard 8-Inch infotainment system but has an available 12-inch display that’s well worth the upgrade. Either way, the 2022 F-150 includes the latest and greatest version of Fords’ industry-leading Sync4 infotainment system, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so that you can stay connected to your devices while you’re on the road without having to take your hands off the steering wheel.
4. Adaptive Cruise Control
Ford’s adaptive cruise control system has been around for a while now and continues to get better. The system allows drivers to safely follow the vehicle ahead without needing to adjust for changes in speed. If the vehicle ahead slows down, then the F-150 will match their new speed, and when they accelerate again, so will the F-150. Of course, when the ACC system is engaged, the F-150 will still maintain a safe following distance.
5. Built-In Wi-Fi Hotspot
The 2022 F-150 also features a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot so that no matter where the road leads, you’ll never have to worry about being disconnected from the internet. This is especially helpful in areas with poor connectivity, when you need directions, or if you require roadside assistance in the event of a flat tire or other emergencies.
The Ford F-150 is an excellent work truck that’s built tough and made for the drivers of today. With some of the most advanced tech and safety features on the market, there’s never been a better time to get into a brand new Ford.
