The F-150 comes in two models the XLT and Lariat as well as two wheelbase lengths.

Like all the recent Pickups they are big, comfortable and powerful.

The Ford has a conservative, somewhat older styling. Lots of Chrome on certain models.

Inside its space all the way. I’m 190 cm tall and larger than the average bear and I fit with ease. I also can sit behind my seat and my knees don’t touch the front seat.

There is an abundance of storage, plenty of luxury and comfort features as well as wireless smart phone connectivity and on the lariat wireless charging and a awesome Bang and Olufsen audio system. charging.

The F-150 is powered by a 3.5 L twin turbo V6 petrol engine. This provides 298 kW of power and 678 Nm of torque. This combines with a 10 Sp automatic transmission and dual range 4WD. Its rated to tow 4500 kg. Around town it can get thirsty, but of the motorway I got it down to around 9.o l/100k. That’s pretty good.

Its easy to see why these trucks are becoming so popular. They are priced around the same as a top model 4WD and provide so much more.

Pricing for the Ford F-150 runs from around $108,000 through to close to $141,000 plus the usual costs
