One of the challenges you’ll find when you shop for a new vehicle is deciding which type to purchase. Depending on your needs and driving habits, you have different options to consider.

With few exceptions, nothing can match the power and performance of a truck. Whether in a midsize or full-size, heavy-duty model, your Ford truck will take you anywhere and help you accomplish any important job.
Trucks are well known for offering incredible horsepower and torque from their engines. In the Ford lineup, the all-new F-350 has a V8 engine with a few different configurations, including a diesel version. You can also find turbocharged engines in Ford pickup trucks. They’ll give you more than 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque in power, helping the truck accelerate well and get up to highway speeds effortlessly. The F-250 and F-150 are not far behind when it comes to engine power and excellent performance. Both have similar horsepower and torque.
Towing and hauling are two jobs that every truck should be able to perform. The Ford family trucks will excel in these areas. Starting with the new Ford F-150, the base trim of this truck can tow more than 8,000 pounds; however, other trims have engines that can help the towing capacity even more, getting it up to more than 14,000 pounds. As for the F-350, it has a towing capacity of more than 21,000 pounds. The largest Ford truck, the massive F-450, can pull up to 37,000. The midsize Ford Maverick has a towing capacity of about 4,000 pounds.
You’ll love the payload capacity of Ford trucks as well. The Ford F-150 can carry more than 3,000 pounds, while the F-250 can carry up to 4,300 pounds. For even more strength, the Ford F-350 has a maximum payload capacity of 8,000 pounds.
Want to get off the pavement and onto some off-road run? People who love off-roading will enjoy having a Ford truck. Ford truck models have four-wheel drive, making them ideal for driving over the most challenging terrain. If rocks, gravel, or other obstacles are in your way, you won’t have to worry. Your Ford truck will go over them with ease and safely get you to your destination. Ford trucks have excellent suspension and a rear differential, not to mention a high ground clearance. Driving modes, specially built for off-roading, come with some Ford trucks, too.
Other accessories are available on a Ford truck, too. Some of these handy tools include tow cables and tow hooks, not to mention water fording vent tubes in case you come across water on the road ahead. Ford trucks have large, durable wheels that can stand up to anything in your path. Your truck will also have high-quality tires that are designed for off-the-pavement driving, but that can also do well in normal conditions.
For people who love to go off-roading and need to haul and tow often, a Ford truck is the right decision. Ford pickup trucks are powerful, capable vehicles that last for many years and provide the toughness you need to overcome even the most unforgiving environments.
