With a proud legacy of power and performance, the 2024 Ford F-150 embodies the best of American innovation and the pinnacle of American horsepower. No wonder Kelley Blue Book named it their Full-Size Truck Best Buy of 2024! Let’s take a peek at just a few of the innovations in the 2024 edition, whether they’re under the hood, inside the cab, or baked into the box.
5 Game-Changing Innovations in the 2024 Ford F-150
1. More Powerful than Ever
While the entry-level 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 offers plenty of punch and power at 325 horsepower and a full 400 lb-ft of torque, there’s more to be had under the hood. The top-tier 5.2-liter Supercharged V8 is the most powerful high-performance engine ever offered in the F-150, and it offers a heart-pounding 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque, solidly placing the F-150 as the most powerful truck in its class.
Of course, Ford’s decision to name their hybrid engine “PowerBoost” tells you what you can expect from the 3.5-liter full-hybrid, offering 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque and able to tow up to 11,000 pounds of trailer, proving that “hybrid” and “beefy” can comfortably fit in the same sentence.
2. Hands-Free Highway Driving
It’s no secret that Ford has prioritized advanced driving capabilities with its CoPilot 360 technology suite. But the available Blue Cruise capability lets the F-150 take the wheel, offering hands-free highway driving on 97% of controlled access highways in the U.S. and Canada.
3. Information Everywhere
With a standard Digital Instrument Cluster, the center-stack infotainment screen, and the available Head-Up Display, you can customize what information the F-150 feeds you and exactly where you see it. That means more certainty as to how your F-150 is performing and an easier time focusing on the road.
4. Massive Payload and Towing
While the exact payload and towing capacity of each F-150 depends on factors like its engine, cab structure, drivetrain, and packages, every F-150 has the muscle to move you and almost anything you can think of to take with you. The truck bed caps out at a staggering 2,445 pounds of payload capacity, while hooking up a trailer lets the F-150 haul up to 13,500 pounds when properly configured. That’s a whole lot of hauling!
5. A Smart Box
The box on the F-150 has some powerful capabilities. Available Onboard Scales use an LED display in the taillamps and the SYNC 4 display in the cabin to indicate the load status as you pack in the payload, helping you balance the load. Use your tailgate as your workbench? No problem; the available Pro Power Onboard system can offer up to 7.2 kW of juice via multiple outlets installed in the bed.
With the brawn F-150 owners have come to expect and the cutting-edge technology of a class leader, the 2024 F-150 has a lot to offer.
