Some things never change. Ford reigning over the truck kingdom with its F-Series trucks has been a constant in the automotive industry for decades. We don't see that changing anytime soon.
Ford has changed the trucks themselves quite a lot
over the years though, and 2018 brings some extra excitement to the F-150
lineup.
The big news among truck enthusiasts in the Washington, DC area is the addition of a turbo-diesel engine to the F-150 lineup. This is the first time Ford has offered a diesel F-150, and a lot of people in the Arlington area are excited about it.
Other changes include front and rear restyling and engine upgrades. Instead of a 3.5-liter V6, the base F-150 comes with a 3.3-liter that's actually more powerful and more efficient. Most engines get a boost in power, fuel efficiency, or both.
Whether you need a pickup truck just to retrieve your vintage motorcycle on occasion or for contracting work in Alexandria, an F-150 will do the trick.
Its 13,200-pound max tow rating is more than enough
for most people who are looking at a full-size pickup truck without going
heavy-duty. It can haul up to 3,270 pounds, and both its payload and tow
ratings are best-in-class.
The 2018 F-150 offers a quiet, smooth ride. You can opt for Ford's SYNC 3 and SYNC Connect technology to stay connected. Use your favorite audio and entertainment apps on the touchscreen and even pair up with the FordPass app. FordPass gives you remote access to start, stop, and lock your truck and more.
With numerous trim levels, engines, bed lengths, and cabin sizes to choose from, you can find the right balance of ideal features and comfortable monthly payment.
