There's a wide range of options when it comes to full-size trucks, which is why Taylor Ford of Manteno is happy to help shoppers compare new Ford F-150 models against popular competitors. Whether you're searching for all-out performance or luxury-inspired comfort, we're proud to highlight features that make the Ford F-150 lineup the best-selling truck for 47 years in a row.
When it comes to engine output, the Ford F-150 delivers a standard 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine with 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, compared to models like the Ram 1500 with a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine producing 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. While models like the Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX offer up to 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque, the Ford F-150 offers invigorating options that include a High-Output 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 with 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, 3.5-liter PowerBoost™ Full-Hybrid V6 with 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque, or a 5.2-liter Supercharged V8 engine with 720 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque.
If you utilize your truck for towing or hauling, the Ford F-150 is ready to help you conquer jobs of all sizes. With a maximum towing capacity of up to 13,500 pounds, the Ford F-150 surpasses competitors like the GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, which both offer a maximum towing of 13,300 pounds. As a bonus, the Ford F-150 offers up to 3,310 pounds of payload capacity when using the 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8, while the Ram 1500 comes closest with up to 2,370 pounds of payload capacity using the standard V6 engine.
For those who enjoy conquering changing weather conditions and road surfaces outside of the city, the Ford F-150 features plenty of trail-ready setups like the FX4 Off-Road Package, TREMOR®, Raptor®, or high-octane Raptor R™. When properly equipped, the Ford F-150 offers up to 13.1 inches of ground clearance with available 37-inch all-terrain tires and a FOX® Racing Dual-Valve Live Shocks off-road suspension system. In comparison, the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 provides up to 11.2 inches of ground clearance, and the Ram 1500 RHO features 11.8 inches of ground clearance.
Inside the cabin, the Ford F-150 offers a luxurious touch in trims like the King Ranch® and Platinum®, offering plush leather upholstery and 10-way power-adjustable front seats with heating, ventilation, and available Active Motion® massage functionality. In comparison, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Toyota Tundra both lack massaging functionality, which could leave your back and legs aching on road trips down I-57. While the GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate features massaging seats, shoppers will have to pay more than the Ford F-150 Platinum®.
If you're looking to stay in touch with family, friends, and clients when you're on the road, the Ford F-150 features a stunning 12.0-inch SYNC® infotainment system and 12.0-inch Digital Productivity Screen as standard features on all trims. In comparison, the Ram 1500 Tradesman comes with a standard 8.4-inch infotainment screen, while the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 WT is stuck with a standard 7.0-inch display. When you're ready to crank up your favorite tunes and sing along, the Ford F-150 is available with a blissful 14-speaker B&O® Unleashed Sound System by Bang & Olufsen®, while the Toyota Tundra offers up to a 12-speaker audio system.
