Whether you’re driving it on city streets or muddy paths, the 2024 Ford F-150 is ready to tackle the toughest tasks. From multiple powertrain configurations to plenty of room for passengers and stuff, here’s why Michigan drivers love this versatile pickup truck.

1. A Range of Powertrain Configurations

One of the main reasons drivers love the F-150 is the possibility to customize the powertrain to suit your needs and budget. Standard on the base model, a 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine delivers robust power and torque for most driving situations.

Ford equips the higher trims with more powerful engines for a maximum output of 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque in the range-topper Raptor model. A hybrid powertrain is also available for enhanced power and increased fuel economy.

2. Cutting-Edge Technology

From an advanced infotainment system to a rich suite of driver-assistive technologies, the 2024 F-150 keeps you entertained and safe on the road. The SYNC 4 system comes complete with AM/FM radio and SiriusXM with 360L for easy access to news, shows, podcasts, and music.

Each trim level boasts the FordPass Connect Wi-Fi hotspot capability for seamless connectivity on the go, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto deliver hands-free phone control. Blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alerts, and a variety of collision avoidance systems also come standard on all trims.

3. Room for Crew and Cargo

Like most Ford trucks, the F-150 can be had in various exterior styles, making it easy to configure the space for crew and cargo. The standard regular cab option offers ample seating for three and comes with a 6.5-foot or 8-foot bed so you can haul various loads. Super Cab models have a capacity of up to six seats with ample second-row room and fold-up second-row seating that transforms the rear row into a cargo area.

Designed with the utmost comfort in mind, the SuperCrew models boast power-adjustable front bucket seats and can be customized with a 60/40 flip-up split rear bench with an elongated cushion for enhanced passenger comfort.

4. Heavy-Duty Towing Capability

Whether you want to pull your travel trailer or haul equipment and materials across a job site, the F-150 provides the muscle you need. With the standard engine, this model boasts a maximum towing capacity of 8,400 lbs, which is more than enough for most Airstreams. For heavier trailers or bulkier loads, the towing capacity can go up to 13,500 lbs when the truck is properly equipped, depending on the bed and cab style.

5. Versatile Upgrade Options

Multiple upgrade options make it easy to customize the F-150 to your needs. Sought-after features include the Pro Power Onboard panels designed to power your tools and devices in areas with no electricity access.

The available console work surface is a nice interior upgrade that turns the cabin into a mobile office. Storage expansion and cargo management solutions are just some of the other available options.
