When it comes to full-size pickups, none are as revered for their reliability as the Ford F-150. The 2022 edition offers drivers exceptional performance, sophisticated technology, and a roomy cabin that’s been designed for both work and play. So whether you plan to use it for tough jobs or as an everyday commuter truck, here are six exciting features found in the new 2022 Ford F-150.
1. A High-Performance Engine
Although this edition of the F-150 offers plenty of impressive engines, one clear standout is the 3.5L High-Output V6. This twin-turbo engine comes standard in Raptor models and pushes out an astounding 450 horsepower along with 510 pound-feet of torque. It also offers EcoBoost technology, so you can race through a desert or tackle off-road trails without burning through too much fuel.
2. Digital Scales in the Bed
While performing construction duties or picking up goods from the store, you can quickly weigh materials in the bed of the vehicle with the futuristic Onboard Scales. This innovative feature allows you to check cargo weight by using the FordPass App on your smartphone or by looking at either the digital touchscreen in the cabin or the truck’s taillamps.
3. A Tow-Ready Camera
With the Rearview Camera and Dynamic Hitch Assist bundle, not only can you see behind the vehicle with its live feed function, but you can also receive visual assistance while connecting the truck’s hitch to a trailer. A pair of multicolor grid lines appear on the screen once you place the vehicle into reverse, so you can ensure that you’re maneuvering the truck at a correct angle every time.
4. An Off-Road Package
For drivers who plan to use the F-150 for high-performance off-road driving, there’s the FX4 Off-Road Package. This option comes with a variety of enhancements for tackling trails, including an electric-locking rear differential for greater traction and stability, specialized shock absorbers for smooth rides, steel skid plates, and unique decals.
5. A Tailgate Work Surface
This F-150’s tailgate is one of the most innovative ones available for any truck thanks to its durability and functionality. In addition to offering a power-operated option, which allows you to fold the tailgate down from a decent distance away using your key fob, you can also use it as a work surface for carrying out various tasks, such as cutting materials.
6. Autonomous Parking
Pulling in or out of parking spots doesn’t have to be difficult, which is why this pickup also offers Active Park Assist 2.0. This autonomous feature can take over parking responsibilities by maneuvering the vehicle in and out of tight spaces after you’ve switched from drive to neutral and activated the system.
Thanks to a wide array of performance, productivity, and entertainment features, as well as high-tech driver-assist systems, the 2022 F-150 is certainly a force to be reckoned with among full-size trucks.
