The F-150 pickup truck is a testament to the brand’s slogan Built Ford Tough. This iconic vehicle has become a household name. It has been a best-seller among U.S. car buyers since 1975, thanks to its rugged durability, outstanding performance, and astounding capabilities.
With powerful drivetrain options, impressive towing and hauling capacities, and advanced off-road technologies, the Ford F-150 stands out as a leader in the pickup truck market. Our team at John Kennedy Ford Jenkintown created this guide to showcase what’s under the hood of the new F-150.
