Awe-Inspiring Capability
With a 3.5L EcoBoost® engine that produces up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, the 2017 Ford F150 goes above and beyond what other trucks present. Plus, the SelectShift® automatic transmission offers 10 speeds that adjust to all driving conditions and maximize fuel efficiency.
Able to heave up to 12,200 pounds, towing is this pickup's favorite game. Also, the Ford F150 maintains a lightweight body that allows for a limber and lively drive even around sharp corners. Plus, the excellent fuel economy of this truck rounds out its appeal with an EPA-estimated 18 city MPG and an EPA-estimated 25 highway MPG.
On top of that, the 2017 Ford F150 makes maneuvering your trailer on a crowded construction site easy with the Pro Trailer Backup Assistâ„¢. Simply turn the backup knob on the instrument display, and your pickup will automatically steer to turn your cargo any direction you want.
Superior Safety
To ensure the safety of everyone on the road, the 2017 Ford F150 contains trailer sway control. This device detects any sway motion from the objects you're towing and applies the brakes to regulate movement. In addition, the Lane Keeping System tracks lane markers and vibrates the steering wheel to warn you when the vehicle is drifting out of place.
While BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) has proven to be a customer favorite, Ford has raised the bar even further. This safety tool now includes trailer coverage that'll send a visual alert when another vehicle is in your blind spot.
The 2017 Ford F150 also protects you from potential accidents with the Forward Collision Warning. This tool will illuminate a windshield display warning and engage the braking system to respond quickly.
