Ford F-150

Model years 2018–2027

The Ford F-150 is a full-size light-duty pickup truck and a core model in Ford’s F-Series lineup. It is offered in a wide range of cab, bed, drivetrain, powertrain and trim configurations designed for work, towing, off-road driving and everyday use. Available engines, payload and towing ratings, technology and equipment vary substantially by model year and configuration. Anyone researching an F-150 should compare the exact year, engine, transmission, axle ratio, drivetrain and trim because capability, recalls, known problems and ownership costs can differ across generations. This page brings together Pickup Truck + SUV Talk’s Ford F-150 news, reviews, comparisons, recalls, reliability reporting, technical coverage and videos.
