And that’s just the beginning of this F-150's best-in-class features. With choices that specialize in capability, efficiency and everything in between, F-150 can get the job done...and then some.

This legendary Ford V8 delivers even more muscle than ever, including best-in-class* payload.
Experience robust 389 HP and 555 Nm of torque, thanks to twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) and new direct injection (DI).
Ti-VCT optimizes performance across the entire power band to match driving conditions. DI injects gas at high pressure directly and precisely into each cylinder, extracting as much power as possible from every drop of fuel.
The 5.0L offers a CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package for conversion to compressed natural gas (CNG) or propane autogas.**
*When properly equipped. Class is Full-Size Pickups under 3,856 kg. GVWR based on Ford segmentation.
**Vehicle will be equipped with the standard factory gasoline fuel system. This package does not include compressed natural gas/propane fuel tanks and lines, sold separately.
Unsatisfied with the high power ratings of their 3.5L EcoBoost®, Ford engineers designed the second generation of this potent EcoBoost® with even higher ratings of 365 HP and best-in-class* 578 Nm of torque, beating out all competitors in its class. This engine aslo delivers the 2018 F-150 max best-in-class* tow rating.
Big improvements:
- Ford-first port fuel and direct injection (PFDI) with two injectors per cylinder, one in the air intake port and another inside the cylinder to improve power and efficiency.
- All-new twin turbos for greater on-demand power.
- A more responsible plus high-end-efficient 10-speed Transmission.

The Baja-bred F-150 Raptor is perfectly at home on a typical paved road. But going from mild to wild on the most unforgiving terrain – now we’re in territory where the Raptor excels with its extraordinary capability, beginning with raw power.
Unique to the Raptor is a twin-turbo, intercooled DOHC 24-valve, 3.5L EcoBoost® with port fuel and direct-injection system and 10-speed automatic. This High-Output EcoBoost® generates more power than the previous 6.2L V8 – a massive 416 HP and 678 Nm of torque.
F-150 EcoBoost® and V8 engines deliver their power through an advanced 10-speed automatic transmission. Compared with the 6-speed gearbox it replaced, the 10-speed delivers improved overall performance, with enhanced acceleration at the low and mid ranges of the power band. Features include optimized wide-span gear spacing coupled with drag-reduction actions plus three overdrive gears. What’s more, you can choose from selectable modes: Normal, Tow-Haul, Deep Sand Mode, EcoSelect, and Sport.
Never lose speed on steep grades, lock out upper gears with the progressive range select feature on the 6-speed SelectShift® automatic and all-new 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmissions. Both also feature tow/haul mode, for use when the truck is heavily loaded or when towing – which should be often with the 2018 F-150.
Auto Start-Stop Technology is a feature available on all 2018 F-150 engines. When you come to a stop, the engine shuts off to save fuel and restarts immediately when the brake is released. Designed smart for truck applications, Auto Start-Stop deactivates when it wouldn’t be needed such as when you’re towing a trailer or running in 4WD.
The Fully Boxed Frame is made of more high-strength steel (up to 78 percent at 70,000 psi) and larger cross sections than the previous frame. And while stronger and more rigid, this frame is also lighter by up to 27 kg. because many of the components are fabricated using the state-of-the-art roll-forming process that minimizes weight.
Shifting into 4 wheel drive is as easy as turning a dial with the electronic Shift-On-The-Fly (ESOF) system. ESOF lets you choose two 4WD modes (4x4 low or high) as well as 2WD. LARIAT, King Ranch®, Limited, Platinum and Raptor models also include automatic 4WD mode. The 2018 F-150 let's you go everywhere and anywhere you need to be.
Torque-On-Demand® is a registered and active trademark of BorgWarner.
Standard in all F-150s, Hill Start Assist prevents roll back on a grade by momentarily maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the F-150.
Backing up a trailer involves navigating two vehicles at the same time – the truck going one way and the trailer going in the opposite direction. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro at this often tricky maneuver, the available class-exclusive* Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ makes it as easy as turning a knob.** Simply rotate the knob left or right in the direction you want the trailer to go. The F-150 is the first pickup truck to offer this breakthrough feature.

You can create a customized home screen using six menu options—My View, Trip/Fuel, Truck Info, Towing, Off-Road and Settings — and access your most frequently used screens in one place. Standard in the 2018 F-150 LARIAT, King Ranch®, Platinum and Limited.

Available BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System) signals you in the outside mirror when a vehicle is detected in a blind spot — and provides coverage for the truck you’re driving as well as the trailer you’re towing. The Cross Traffic Alert feature can detect a vehicle passing behind when you’re slowly backing out of a driveway or parking place.
*Driver Assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go technology* allows you to set a cruising speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. When activated, the Stop-and-Go feature automatically accelerates and brakes your truck while maintaining your preset distance. The Stop-and-Go technology can bring your vehicle to a complete stop in stopped traffic and resume as traffic begins to move.**

**If vehicle is stopped for more than three seconds, driver must intervene and press “RES” button or accelerator pedal to resume system operation.
A rugged, black fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene cage flips outward and extends over the tailgate to provide 46 cm of extra carrying space. The cage can also be flipped inside the bed, helping protect cargo from shifting.
The 2018 F-150 can tow more than ever before — and more than any other pickup in its class* — with the available 3.5L EcoBoost® Twin-Turbo V6. This second-generation EcoBoost® is rated at 375 HP and best-in-class* 578 Nm of torque, beating out all gas and diesel competitors.*

The 2018 F-150's body is made of high-strength, aluminum alloy, not household aluminum, but heat-treated and hardened aluminum alloy — the same high-grade 6000-series used in big industrial applications. This aluminum body not only makes the F-150 stronger but also lighter than the previous generation by 318 kg!
With durable, hard-wearing surfaces, materials and all new seating and door trim materials, the 2018 F-150’s new interior is built to last.
