3 Outstanding Features of the 2022 Ford F-150

There is a good reason why Ford has been around for over a century. Simply put, they build quality vehicles that can outperform and outlast their competitors. This foundational quality is met and exceeded in the new 2022 Ford F-150. Learn more about this modern marvel below.

1. Towing

A few things come to mind when thinking of a pickup truck – work truck, towing, an abundance of space inside and out. The 2022 F-150 has all of these features, but the towing is truly something special. The 3.3L V6 engine can tow up to 8200 pounds, while the 5.0L V8 engine can tow a monstrous 13000 pounds. While the numbers are impressive, the F-150 also has a number of convenient towing abilities.

With the available Ford smart hitch, you can make sure your payload weight is distributed evenly. This information is conveniently displayed on the center touchscreen. This truck also comes equipped with continuously controlled dampening technology. It will make real-time shock adjustments to match the terrain you would be currently driving on.

2. Engine Options

One of the most impressive engines for the F-150 is the 5.0L V8 engine with ten-speed automatic transmission and 400 horsepower. If that’s not enough horsepower then maybe the high output 3.5L EcoBoost engine (only available on the Raptor) will suffice. This engine roars with 450 horsepower and is equipped with a ten-speed automatic transmission. Another option is the hybrid 3.5L V6 engine with 430 horsepower and 530 lb.-ft. of torque.

The 3.3L TI-VCT V6 engine boasts an adequate 290 horsepower. The 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine has 325 horsepower with twin inter-cooled turbochargers. And last but not least is the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost coming through with 400 horsepower and a best-in-class tow rating at 14000 pounds of towing capacity.  

3. Comfort

One of the benefits of driving a large truck is a smooth ride. And one of the best compliments to a smooth ride is a satisfying interior. The seats are upholstered with cloth but vinyl and sport cloth are available. Beyond the seating, the equipped technology is geared toward the ease of use of everyday utilities.

The center screen is an eight-inch touchscreen but can be upgraded to twelve inches. The controls and instrument clusters are user-friendly and extraordinarily easy to navigate. The infotainment system is able to connect to Apple or Android devices to play music, make calls, send voice texts, or aid in navigation. There is also an available upgrade for enhanced voice recognition.

The 2022 F-150 encapsulates robust towing capabilities, a multitude of powerful engine options, a large and spacious cab, and an intuitive technological system. The F-150 is everything Ford is meant to be – reliable, tough, and built to last. When looking for a dealer, a couple of things to consider are the quality of the service department and the knowledge of the sales team.
