5 reasons to buy the 2017 Ford F150

1. Find the right F-150 for you

The 2017 F-150 comes in three basic configurations – Regular Cab, SuperCab, and SuperCrew. Depending on the configuration, there are six wheelbase choices that offer more personalization options, with a large selection of available packages. From chrome or dark exterior and wheel finishes, color-coded or sports accessories to CNG, propane gas, or bi-fuel V8 engine preparation, you'll find the F150 that's right for you.

2. Big towing capacities and payload

It may be a light-duty truck, but the 2017 Ford F150 can seriously flex its muscles when it comes to practical usability. Maximum estimated payloads of up to 3,270 lbs can be transported on cargo beds up to eight feet long, and the 3.5L EcoBoost^® version has an estimated maximum towing capacity of up to 12,200 lbs when properly equipped.

Whether you're carrying cargo or colleagues, you can rest assured the F150 will have your back.

3. Option of four-wheel drive

If you have to regularly visit a construction site or venture off-road, the 4x4 2017 Ford F150 can take it all in its stride. Choose the available FX4 off-road package with an electronic locking rear differential, hill descent control, off-road shock absorbers, and underbody skid plates — add some all-terrain tires, and you'll be all set for some serious rock-crawling action. Back for 2017, the 450-hp Raptor is the ultimate Ford F150 for rough and tumble ability. Fitted with FOX^® Racing Shox^™ and flared fenders, it's a powerful truck for when the going gets very tough.

4. Super luxurious trims

There are seven 2017 Ford F150 trims: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, and Raptor. Leather and heated/cooled front seats with driver power adjustment are standard on Lariat to Limited trims, along with an 8-inch productivity screen in the instrument display, SYNC^® 3 eight-inch color touchscreen entertainment system with voice control, plus Android Auto^™ and Apple CarPlay^® integration. With keyless entry and cruise control, the F150 is not just a practical pickup, but also a posh one.

5. Wide engine choice

Four gasoline engine options provide the 2017 Ford F150 with plenty of power for every driving situation. The 282-hp 3.5L V6 gives torque over a wide rpm range, but choose the 325-hp 2.7L EcoBoost if you prioritize fuel economy, as it achieves an EPA-estimated 26 mpg on the highway.

The 385-hp 5.0L V8 is made for heavy-duty scenarios, while the 375-hp twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost and 10-speed SelectShift^® automatic transmission combination are new for 2017.
