Have you been planning to purchase a Ford truck? Chances are that you’ve already conducted research online and are preparing to visit a local car dealership to learn more about what’s available. You may, for example, have your mind set on either the 2017 or 2018 Ford F-150.

The 2017 Ford F-150

Consumer Reports states that this pickup truck is a major seller. This model has an all-aluminum, rather than steel, body. Another plus is that you can choose between different types of engines:

  • 3.5-liter V6
  • 2.7-liter turbo V6
  • 3.5-liter turbo V6
  • 5.0-liter V8

You may also be interested to know that there are other options available. The 3.5-liter turbo, for example, has an optional ten-speed automatic. The other models, however, have a six-speed automatic.

Your Ford dealer will be able to tell you more about all of the safety options. Consumer Reports, however, notes the following safety features:

  • Forward-collision warning
  • Blind-spot monitoring
  • 360-degree-view camera
  • Integrated loading ramps

The 2018 Ford F-150

Curious about next year’s model? According to Consumer Reports, the Ford F-150 has an updated style. Furthermore, since this series is constantly evolving, they indicate that there will be a hybrid version in the future.

  • Updated 2.7-liter V6

    There are some additional safety features available with the 2018 model as well as some cool devices:

    • Automatic start/stop
    • Pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection
    • Adaptive cruise control with a stop-and-go function

Once you slip behind the wheel of your new Ford pickup truck, you’ll know exactly which one is right for you. Just imagine how great it will feel to drive your new Ford pickup off the dealer’s lot!
