Why Should I Buy a Ford F-150?

Good question. It would be easier to list why you shouldn’t buy an F-150, but we’ll provide you with some solid reasons why a Ford F-150 should be in your garage anyway. For one, it’s been America’s best-selling pickup truck for decades,1 and it carries the Ford name, a brand that’s been firmly established in American culture for over a century. BNN Bloomburg writes that the “F-Series is larger than McDonald’s Corp., Nike Inc., Coca-Cola Co. and Starbucks Corp,”2 another indicator of the truck’s sizable acclaim. According to Autoweek, Ford sells their wildly popular truck at an average of 100 pickups every hour, and that “82% of current F-150 owners would rather stop watching Netflix for a year before giving up their truck.”1

We weren’t kidding when we said we had a few reasons why you should buy a Ford F-150. If you’re overwhelmed with the saturated truck market, keep reading below. We have a feeling we’ll win you over!

14 Generations of Pure Awesome

With the release of the highly anticipated 2021 model, the F-150 is now in its 14th generation, just another marker of how deeply embedded this truck has been in the American auto market. It’s been the best-selling truck in the States for close to four decades,3 and with each generation added, the market saw major upgrades in technology, safety and materials used. Ford’s commitment to innovation and advancement has given America some high-quality transportation over the years.

 

 Outperforming Capability

Impress your boss with the performance and capability of the burly F-150. The 2021 is touting some serious stats this year, like best-in-class 14,000 lbs. of available towing capability,4 best-in-class available payload ratings of 3,325 lbs.5 and the class-exclusive available 3.5-liter PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid V6 engine. Get more done (and the right way) with the truck that’s Built Ford Tough®.

 

Off-Roading Optional But Encouraged

Upgrade your weekends with the F-150 Raptor, the off-roading champion in the F-Series lineup. Tackle new terrain with the F-150 Raptor model’s flexible shocks and crawl control, and know that with standard four-wheel drive, anything (or anywhere) is possible. Select your driving mode from seven options — Normal, Sport, Slippery, Tow/Haul, Deep Snow/Sand, Baja and Rock Crawl — and tell everyone who comes along to buckle up. Or, if you think another F-150 trim has more that you want, just add the available FX4 Off-Road Package to still make your downtime a little more adventurous.

 

Ford Co-Pilot 360™ Technology

With all of the odd jobs (and spontaneous adventures) that require a degree of risk, the F-150 needs a trusted safety system to keep everyone inside its cabin protected. That’s why Ford Co-Pilot 360™ is so important. It carries the latest improvements in safety with features like BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert, Evasive Steering Assist, Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control. Plus, the F-150 achieved top marks from trusted organizations for its safety for 2020: J.D. Power gave the 2020 Ford F-150 a “stellar predicted reliability rating of 4.5 out of 5,”6 and the NHTSA rated the 2020 F-150 SuperCrew models with a 5/5 for overall safety.7
