2020 Ford F-150

The 2020 Ford F-150 has six trim levels: the base XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. Ford also offers the off-road-ready Raptor variant. Ford also offers you three cab styles: standard cab, SuperCab (extended cab), and SuperCrew (crew cab). You can also choose from three bed lengths, depending on the cab style. The base trim XL offers manual mirrors and manual windows. Stepping up to the XLT and Lariat trims includes alloy wheels and chrome trim. Moving on to the top of the line, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited will get you continuing levels of luxury fittings. Exterior features on the Raptor are flared fenders, skid plates, and upgraded off-road tires.

Ford's base 3.3-liter V-6 engine boasts 290 horsepower, substantial by any standards. This engine is mated to a six-speed automatic. A 10-speed automatic transmission is available on the midlevel trims and above. The next three engines are real torque monsters, beginning with the 2.7-liter turbo V-6 with 325 horsepower. Next is the non-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 churning out 395 horsepower. Stepping up from there, you have the robust 3.5-liter turbocharged V-6, which is also available as 375 horsepower or an extra powerful 450 horsepower. For torque way down low at 440 pound-feet, consider the turbocharged diesel V-6 at 250 horsepower.

The 2020 Ford F-150 offers beefy and reasonably quick performance from all its engines, including the turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. The bigger engines provide more torque for greater towing and hauling, while the 10-speed automatic brings smooth shifting to the whole picture. The sophisticated steering makes the F-150 simple to maneuver in tight spaces, and the braking is ample for a pickup truck. Although the F-150 is clearly designed to pull heavy loads, passengers are kept comfortable on the road with the soft suspension.

Standard on all models is a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot, and most trim levels come with the Sync 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touch screen. The base XL trim offers trailer sway control, along with prewired trailer connections, vinyl flooring, and a four-speaker stereo. The luxury-oriented levels will add front-seat lumbar adjustments, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Up next is keyless entry and ignition, leather upholstery, power-adjustable pedals, and dual-zone automatic climate control. You'll definitely be comfortable in an F-150. There's more luxury to come in the Raptor as you move into a distinctive interior trim with leather and cloth upholstery.

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking is a safety feature that can automatically apply the brakes for you. Other safety features include Lane-Keeping Aid and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go. The NHTSA ratings for side crashes were the highest rating of five stars.
