Long-Lasting Capability Makes the Ford F-150 a Great Pre-Owned Pickup

Posted on June 26, 2017

Staying competitive as a half-ton pickup is no small feat. That the Ford F-150 has managed to do it for forty years is nothing short of astounding. Today, this pickup can muster up to 12,200 lbs. max towing and 470 lb-ft of torque—and there’s a turbodiesel set to arrive next summer that will make it even more powerful. But you can find capability in even used versions of this pickup.

As recent as 2013, version of the F-150—including the Raptor—could tow up to 11,300 lbs thanks to its mighty V8. These days, most of the hauling power comes from turbocharged V6 engines, but some prefer the V8’s grunt. Even in pre-owned trucks, the standard V8 offers in the neighborhood of 360 horses and 380 lb-ft of twist, which is impressive considering some competing models still struggle to match it. Rounded out by impressive reliability, the F-150 is more than worth a look for anyone searching for a capable pre-owned truck.
