What comes to mind when you think of pickup trucks? Like most people, you probably imagine strength, reliability, or maybe hardworking tradesmen. But 2023 will bring a new association: the new Ford 150 truck. The enduring best-seller has developed into the present-day generation. And what’s more, it offers everything for every level of utility. So whether you need a simple work truck or a high-end pickup with all the bells and whistles, this is among the new Ford trucks you should pay attention to.
Engine, Transmission, and Capabilities
The 2023 F-150 comes with numerous engines. These include a 400-hp 5.0-liter V-8; 290-hp 3.3-liter V-6; and a 250-hp 3.0-liter diesel V-6. But regardless of your desired engine, the new Ford 150 truck is paired with a 10-speed automatic. And for the first time, the F-150 comes with a hybrid powertrain. Ford says the new 400-hp hybrid powertrain will offer 700 miles of driving range on a per-tank basis and also powers an onboard generaNew tor to ensure power flows during outages or on job sites.
Towing and Payload Capacity
The base V-6 engine's towing capacity reaches a maximum of 8200 lbs. However, trims armed with the 400-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 can pull an impressive 14,000 lbs. Opting for the respected 5.0-liter V-8 means the maximum towing capacity is pegged at 13,000 lbs; the diesel V-6 can pull up to 12,100 lbs and the hybrid trim can haul as much as 12,700. Its payload capacity falls between 1840 and 3250 lbs. As a result of these impressive towing and payload capabilities, the new Ford 150 truck remains competitive among its rivals.
Interior Design and Cargo Space
The cabin is outfitted with high-end materials and dotted with numerous storage cubbies. Other conveniences include the F-150’s utility as a mobile workstation. For instance, the shift lever can be collapsed with the center console, creating a flat workspace. Also, the F-150 can be customized with fold-flat front seats that offer a sleeping space. And lastly, the backseat room is ample and makes for a comfortable passenger driving experience.
Connectivity and Infotainment
Ford offers an 8.0-inch infotainment monitor as standard equipment. It runs an augmented version of Sync 4 software; moreover, a more substantial 12.0-inch unit is discretionary. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also come standard, and Sync 4's new software offers over-the-air updates for future software launches, updates for traffic and weather, and onboard telematics for fleet customers to assist with tracking vehicle usage and location.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Attributes
Ford offers many driver-assistance attributes, but few come as standard equipment. These features will become available as buyers move up through the F-150's model levels. Key safety attributes include:
· Available adaptive cruise control
· Available lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
· Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
Coverage for Warranty and Maintenance
The new Ford 150 truck comes with a couple of coverage options. However, no complimentary maintenance is available.
· Limited warranty covers 36,000 miles (or three years)
· Powertrain warranty covers 60,000 miles (or five years)
