Review

With a large span of models and body designs, the 2022 Ford F-150 is a drudger that can be styled to match a plethora of tasks. Fleet managers and contractors will value the economical price and utility of the base trim, XL. All the while oil barons and affluent ranch holders will feel present and available in the King Ranch model. 

A myriad of powertrains are offered as well, including a hybrid and petrol, and an off-road prepared Tremor trim pledges to transport you almost anywhere you want to go. 

Additionally, the F-150 has the spirit to accomplish nearly any task at hand. This is demonstrated in the large number of consumers who believe in Ford's notoriety and vast scope of available attributes and features. 

What's Expected for 2022?

A novel Black veneer bundle is now offered on the F-150 for 2022 and is available on XL, XLT, Lariat, as well as Platinum trims. Furthermore, the Bed Utility package is now available too as a discretionary option on XL, XLT, Lariat, and Tremor models and comes as standard equipment on the high-end King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited trims.

It offers a step for the tailgate, in addition to fastened cleat-style tie-downs. Additionally, Atlas Blue has been added to the color palette this year as well. The all-electric F-150 Lightning will also be released for the 2022 model lineup.

Cost and Which Trim to Purchase

The F-150 is offered in several body designs and bed dimensions. While the XLT trim is an upgrade from the base XL work truck, we would rather have the extra splendor on the Lariat. It costs nearly $10,000 more compared to the XLT – which as a result – might make it unattainable for some. However, it possesses the best blend of attributes, features, and cost-effectiveness.

The baseline XL comes in at $31,685, the recommended Lariat is $47,835, and the upper model of the batch – the Limited – tops out at $76,030. 

Motor, Performance, and Transmission

The 2022 F-150 is offered with many motors—a 290-hp 3.3-liter V-6; a 400-hp 5.0-liter V-8; a 325-hp twin-supercharged 2.7-liter V-6; a 400-hp twin-supercharged 3.5-liter V-6; and a 250-hp 3.0-liter petrol V-6. Regardless of the motor you pick, the F-150 comes partnered with a 10-speed automatic. 

For the first time, the F-150 is also available with a blended powertrain. Ford asserts that the novel 400-hp blended powertrain—which is composed of a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6, a 35 kW engine, and a 10-speed automatic transmission—will provide as much as 700 miles worth of drive span per tank and can also charge an onhand generator for ensuring the power flows to job sites or if a power outage is taking place.

Consumers will pick between rear- and four-wheel drive with the options of the F-150's offered powertrains. An FWD Lariat affixed with a hybrid powertrain dashed to 60 mph in an energetic 5.4 seconds. 

Additionally, our evaluations uncovered a cooperative ride coupled with pleasing handling; high-spec trims like the King Ranch are outfitted with a variable-assist steering system that hastens response time at reduced speeds for a more graceful feel. 

The Tremor trim pledges the most robust and rugged all-terrain ability; it provides 33-inch off-road tires, an enhanced suspension, a locking rear differential as well as a FWD transfer case extracted from the majestic F-150 Raptor. During testing, the Tremor hurled to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds.

Payload and Towing Capacity

The base 3.3-liter V-6 motor’s towing capacity caps at about 8200lbs, however, trims armed with the 400-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 can haul as much as 14,000lbs. Going with the respected 5.0-liter V-8 entails a maximal towing capacity of 13,000lbs; the petrol V-6 is able to pull off up to 12,100lbs and the hybrid trim can haul as much as 12,700lbs. 

The payload volume fluctuates between 1840 and 3250lbs. These capacities for towing and payload keep the novel F-150 in the running with key competitors such as the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

Real-World MPG and Fuel Economy

The EPA calculates the 2022 F-150 with the supercharged 2.7-liter V-6 will warrant up to 20 mpg in the city and 26 on the freeway. The twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 is ranked at 18 mpg in the city and 24 on the freeway. The hybrid variation has assessments as high as 25 mpg in the city and 26 on the freeway. 

Interior, Cargo, and Comfort

high-grade materials are utilized in the interior, and the cabin is punctuated with many repository cubbies. Added convenience attributes were planned in order to make things simpler for those using the F-150 as a travelling workstation. For instance, the lever for the 10-speed automatic shift can be folded within the center console to produce a spacious flat workstation. 

Likewise, the F-150 can be purchased with fold-flat seats in the front that double as a bed to sleep on. Space for passengers is commodious, and with the four-door crew-cab body design being both roomy and family-friendly, you can rest assured that this is a pickup that can accommodate everyone.

Infotainment and Connectedness

Ford offers an 8.0-inch infotainment display as a standard piece that operates an enhanced variant of the brand's Sync 4 software. You can also get a discretionary, bigger 12.0-inch unit if you’re so inclined. 

Additionally, Android Auto, Wi-Fi hotspot, and Apple CarPlay all come as standard equipment. Additive features such as navigation, B&O audio system, etc, are optional. 

Moreover, Sync 4's novel software offers over-the-air information updates for future software launches, traffic and weather reports, as well as onhand telematics.
