Ford F-150 in Nigeria

The 2020 Ford F-150 isn't behind the curve when it comes to transforming pickup vehicles into luxury cruisers. Sure, you can get a work truck with a conventional cab and an 8.0-foot bed from Ford, but the most common models are the four-door trucks with shorter beds. There's also an extended cab for those who mix business and leisure.

There is an F-150 for practically every budget, thanks to a wide choice of engine and driveline combinations. Ford makes all of its truck body panels out of aluminum, unlike the competition, which employs predominantly steel in its construction. Ford even produces its desert proto-racer, the Raptor.

Pros and cons of this vehicle

Which One to Buy

While the romanticism of a regular-cab, two-door truck tugs at our hearts, there's no disputing the Lariat SuperCrew 4x4 with the 6.5-foot cargo box's exceptional adaptability and value. This model starts at a decent price, and you can upgrade to an EcoBoost V-6 or a Power Stroke turbo-diesel for a fee, but the regular 5.0-liter V-8 should suffice.

The basic engine produces enough power to tow any of your toys comfortably, and the cabin features an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, two-zone climate control, and heated and ventilated front seats. If you plan to transport, the Trailer Tow package and integrated trailer-brake controller are must-have accessories, but they'll also aid with resale if you decide to sell.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance of the Ford F-150

The F-150 shows up with a variety of intricate engines, including a 3.0-liter diesel with 440 lb-ft of torque. The Ford 10-speed automatic transmission is paired with the majority of the engines. Against the competition's largest V-8 engines, the King Ranch model with the 375-hp V-6 engine placed among the best in all categories.

The V-8 F-150 took 6.3 seconds to reach 60 mph, but its 50-to-70-mph pace was practically comparable to the V-6. The 10-speed automatic transmission in the V-6 model was hesitant to respond under hard acceleration but generally performed admirably. The F-150 doesn't match the Ram 1500's optional air-spring suspension in terms of comfort. On the smoother ground, the ride is composed, but not over hard bumps, where jittering can be felt in the back.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

In the hunt for V-8 power and better-than-V-8 fuel economy, the F-150 boasts a pair of twin-turbo V-6 engines. In our real-world highway fuel-economy test, the 375-hp V-6 variant got 19 mpg, which is 4 mpg less than the official EPA rating.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The F-150 has the space and equipment to prove that yesterday's luxury car is today's full-size truck. It entices features such as massaging seats and a panoramic sunroof. The only thing holding it back is its sluggish response to user inputs. The F-150 has lots of storage space—it is, after all, a pickup truck.
