Schicker Ford of St. Louis

Jul 4, 2021

 

If you are looking for a pickup truck that gets the job done, consider the Ford F-150. This strong pickup has been redesigned with new features to suit all your needs.

1. More Power

In addition to the usual powerful line-up of engines ranging from the base model XL’s V6 Flex Fuel 3.3 Liter with 290 horsepower to the Platinum’s V8 Flex Fuel 5.0 Liter with 400 horsepower, there is an all-new 3.5 liter twin-turbo V-6 EcoBoost engine with a 10-speed transmission boasting a roaring 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque. If that’s not enough, the engine gives you the ability to use your truck like a mobile generator giving you 7.2kW of power.

Included in that power is a best-in-class available towing and payload. The base model XL has a payload capacity of 1,975 pounds and a towing capacity of 8,200 pounds. The V8 Flex Fuel 5.0 liter in the Platinum has a payload capacity of 2,135 pounds and a towing capacity of 13,000 pounds. From the XL to the Platinum you can load up your truck and not have to worry.

2. Re-Designed Interior

The all-new F-150 interior can function as an office with an available interior work surface including a table that can unfold from the center console. The interior also includes rear-locking undereat storage to keep your personal items secured and reclining seats that fold almost completely flat giving your the opportunity to feel right at home in your vehicle.
A 12-inch digital productivity screen where you can see speed, navigation, off-road vehicle orientation, and towing information is included. Also, a 12-inch touchscreen with voice recognition is available to help you access a favorite playlist, get directions for your destination, or to make a call.

3.  Better Safety and Technology

Safety features include an available rear-facing camera that monitors the trailer, lane-departure warning to help you make safe lane changes in case a vehicle is in your blind spot, automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Active park assist makes parallel parking easy. Just hold down the Active Park Assist button and your vehicle will park for you so you don’t have to worry about getting into a tight space.

An 8-inch infotainment display is standard with a 12-inch version optional. The display can function as a split-screen so you can control multiple functions at the same time including navigation, music, or truck features. Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto are standard with a Bang and Olufsen stereo system and 18 speakers optional.

4. The Raptor Is Back

Ready for some serious off-road driving? After taking a year off, the F-150 Raptor is back. With a 3.5 liter twin-turbo V-6, the Raptor has a payload capacity of 1,400 pounds and can tow 8,200 pounds. The truck includes Ford’s Terrain Management System with seven driving modes such as Sport, Rock Crawl and Baja. The truck also includes Trail Control in which, with the push of a button, the truck manages throttle and braking. All you have to do is steer.

For all your needs, the F-150 is ready for you.
