Massachusetts drivers know what to expect from their F-150's: strength and capability for whatever your job or the road conditions may throw at you. The 2018 Ford F-150 raises the bar, with best-in-class torque, towing, and payload capability, allowing the 2018 model to tow over 1,000 pounds more than its 2017 predecessor. The military-grade aluminum alloy is just as strong as steel, shaving off weight without reducing strength to create a lighter and easier to handle F-150 than ever before. The 2018 Ford F-150 is available with a variety of engine packages, each of them more powerful than the last. Standard packages sport a 3.3-liter V6 engine producing 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet.
