The 2018 Ford F-150 hit the gym in the off season and comes in 700 pounds lighter than last year’s F-150. It is lighter and stronger with the use of high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy in the body and a frame made up of 78% high-strength steel. Suppling the power the lean and mean 2018 Ford F-150 is a 3.5L EcoBoost®, 2.7L EcoBoost®, 3.3L V6, 5.0L V8 or a 24-Valve High-Output Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost® engine lineup. Pairing the EcoBoost® and V8 engines with a 10-speed automatic transmission offers improved fuel efficiency than previous F-150’s. Also helping with fuel efficiency is the 2018 Ford F-150’s start-stop technology, that cuts the engine while stopped and seamlessly restarts it when the brake is released.
When properly equipped, the ’18 Ford F-150 offers first-in-class towing (12,000 pounds) and payload (3,040 pounds), and with the available pro trailer backup assist you can park all that payload on a dime. Other features that help when puling weight are the Dynamic Hitch Assist which directs the hitch to the trailer, the Smart Trailer Tow Connector that alerts the driver of any connectivity, lighting and battery issues and a trailer brake controller. If your old truck has let you down for the last time, then upgrade to the stronger and smarter 2018 Ford F-150 today.
