The legendary F-150 is back for another edition. If you’re just now hearing about the rugged 2024 Ford F-150, here are five reasons to come take it for a spin today.
1. A Powerful Hybrid Engine
Although six impressive engines are offered with this edition, including both a 450-horsepower high-output V6 and a 702-horsepower supercharged V8, it’s the full hybrid V6 that’s been a major game changer. This available 3.5-liter PowerBoost engine combines a gas engine with electric motors and churns out 430 horsepower alongside 570 pound-feet of torque. This adds up to over 700 miles in total driving range, a best-in-class payload rating of 1,755 pounds, and a maximum towing capacity of 11,200 pounds.
2. Infotainment for All Occasions
SYNC 4, the truck’s infotainment system, is just one of the many innovative tech features offered with this edition, and it comes standard with a full-color 12-inch touchscreen display. With this system, you can keep everyone busy with its wireless smartphone connectivity, hands-free calling, available satellite radio channels, AM/FM stereo, and many other functions. If you need audible instructions to find destinations, there’s an available navigation feature integrated into this system as well.
3. A Mobile Electrical Generator
Pro Power Onboard is a class-exclusive feature that serves as a mobile electric generator, allowing you to use power tools, appliances, and other electronics while on the go. You can see how much electricity you’ve used from the available app or on the touchscreen display inside the truck, and there are multiple power outlets with different outputs, with the strongest having a 7.2kW output.
4. A Tailgate with Swing-Away
The swing-away doors that come with the available Pro Access Tailgate allow you to get up to 19 inches closer to the truck’s bed, making it easier to load and unload cargo. Best of all, these doors can also still be swung open when trailering, allowing you to climb in and out of the bed when there’s a hitched trailer present, though you can always drop the entire tailgate down like a conventional one if you need to.
5. A Cargo-Weighing System
When loading cargo in the bed, the optional Onboard Scales is sure to be appreciated. This feature can provide estimates of how much your cargo weighs while showing you if you’re approaching the truck’s maximum payload capacity.
These features are impressive but barely scratch the surface of everything this versatile pickup has to offer. Come test-drive it today by contacting us at Pohanka Ford of Salisbury in Salisbury, MD.
