When people think of the Ford F-150, they think of strength and capability, giving drivers around Mechanicsburg, Harrisburg, and Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the power they need to tow, haul, and get the job done. Though this is true, the Ford F-150 has so much else to offer, like its progressive suite of technologies that make driving elevated.

In this Ford F-150 technology review, the team at Fred Beans Ford of Mechanicsburg will go over some of these advanced features, giving you a sneak peek into this one-of-a-kind truck. By the end of this article, we think you'll have a new appreciation for the F-150 and what it brings to the table.


2020 Ford F-150 Interior Technology

The cabin of the 2020 F-150 was designed to provide comfort, convenience, and connectivity, and a lot of this has to do with innovative tech.

One of the most notable technologies inside the F-150 is the available 8-inch LCD productivity screen. Located right behind your steering wheel, this feature transforms the traditional instrument cluster. On this screen, you can customize what you see with four unique menu options: Trip/Fuel, Truck Info, Towing, and Off-Road.

FordPass Connectâ„¢ is also available for the F-150, allowing you to keep connected with your truck's cabin from just about anywhere. Through an app on your phone, you can lock and unlock your doors as well as start your vehicle, so it can be ready before you even walk out the door of your house.


Ford F-150 Towing Technologies

We know the Ford F-150 packs a lot of towing power, but what makes it special is the plethora of towing technologies that make it easier (and safer) than ever. There's a ton available for this pickup:

  • Pro Trailer Backup Assistâ„¢: Found only in Ford trucks, this feature synchronizes truck and trailer, making backing up a breeze. Simply utilize the knob on your center console, tell the F-150 which way to go, and the rest is taken care of for you.
  • Blind Spot Information System® with Trailer Coverage: Changing lanes with a trailer or boat connected to your truck is no longer so challenging. This system will let you know when someone is alongside your pickup or trailer, so you can merge safely.
  • 360-Degree Camera with Split-View Display: This gives you a bird's eye view of your truck to increase the visibility of what you're towing and hauling. It also includes a dynamic hitch assist with a line of sight to help direct your hitch ball to your trailer.
  • Factory Installed Trailer Brake Controller: This feature coordinates your truck's brakes with your trailer's brakes, so when you stop, the load you're towing stops with you.
