Why is the F-150 America’s best-selling pickup for over forty years? Visit The Faricy Boys Ford, your Pueblo Ford F-150 dealer, and the answer is simple: the F-150 hits all the marks for style, capability, and performance while keeping the price affordable for pickup truck buyers. Whether you’re seeking a capable work truck or a high-end luxury weekend family road trip vehicle, you’ll find it in the Ford F-150.
Ford found the winning combination before virtually any other manufacturer when it equipped the F-150 with comfort and convenience features not normally found on a pickup truck. Recognizing that even the most work-focused drivers deserved a comfortable cabin, Ford sought to design a truck that compromised nothing in utility but put a greater emphasis on driver and passenger comfort.
The Ford F-150 comes out ahead of the competition in almost every way year after year. Colorado drivers can expect the same class-leading capability and rugged durability, but the modern lineup includes an all-electric version – the Ford Lightning – and connected technology features that make life easier and more entertaining. Once you test drive an F-150, we doubt you’ll even consider another brand.
The 2021 model year is the first in the F-150’s fourteenth generation run, which started over a century ago in prewar 1917. In its very first form, the Ford Model TT pickup retailed for $600, and a little over 2,000 units were sold. In 1948, Ford officially launched the first generation F-series, which would run until 1952 and set the stage for the company’s most popular product line.
The second and third-generation F-Series trucks ushered in Ford’s ascending numeric nomenclature, with the F-1 representing the smallest model and the F-8 being the largest commercial vehicle. That naming custom endures today. In 1959, Ford offered the F-series pickup with four-wheel drive for the first time. Generation four saw the first crew cab, as well as Ford’s first efforts to soften the ride and appeal to on-the-road everyday drivers.
Fast forward to the eighth generation, and we see a 50th-anniversary celebration for the popular F-150 truck. In 1993, during the truck’s ninth generation, Ford released the first-ever performance F-150, the SVT Lightning. Compared to the current Ford Raptor’s prowess, the 1993 Lightning’s diminutive 240 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque were unimpressive, but at the time, it was one of the most powerful trucks on the road.
The tenth generation incorporated the turn of the century, spanning 1997 - 2003. This generation represents a design turning point, and many of the significant exterior changes remain even today. Subsequent generations – including the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth – reflect subtle aesthetic updates. 2015 saw the addition of aluminum body panels, a move that earned it a first-ever NHTSA five-star crash test rating.
The newest redesign, generation fourteen, is squarely focused on technology. From safety advances to class-leading infotainment and connectivity, Ford designed the newest F-150 for the future. Add the all-electric F-150 Lightning, and it’s clear that this truck is poised to continue its best-selling run.
The F-150 boasts the highest towing and payload ratings in the segment and an impressive lineup of different engine options. This includes the turbocharged EcoBoost engines as well as innovative options like the PowerBoost hybrid. Ford delivers in the utility category, too, with Pro Power Onboard, a built-in generator able to provide 120V and 240V power wherever you go.
With a large selection of trims and configurations, the F-150 offers something for everyone, whether you’re seeking affordable practicality, ultra high performance, or over-the-top luxury. Those seeking a simple work truck will appreciate the base XL trim’s low price point. On the other end of the spectrum, the Limited combines rugged utility with the kinds of luxury appointments typically only seen on European imports.
Then, there’s the F-150 Raptor. It’s the ultimate on and off-road beast, delivering incredible horsepower and torque by way of a unique High-Output EcoBoost V6 engine. A variety of performance features and off-road equipment comes standard, including FOX shocks and a special five-link rear suspension that enhances stability and optimizes traction so your Raptor can beat just about any other vehicle off the line.
Perhaps the most exciting news out of Ford lately was the launch of the all-electric F-150 Lightning. Right out of the gate, Ford put to rest any gripes about compromising utility or power for environmental stewardship: the Lightning can tow and haul with any other half-ton pickup. The dual-motor powertrain puts drivers in control of more horsepower and torque than even the F-150 Raptor. Instant acceleration is a trait unique to EVs, and the Lightning takes advantage of it, with a zero-to-sixty mph time of under five seconds. Four-wheel drive is standard, and Ford builds in selectable drive modes, including Normal, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Off-Road.
The F-150 Lightning is especially exciting for fleet managers and business owners because running a fleet of electric trucks means less scheduled maintenance. Its long range means getting around won’t require a mid-day recharge. The Pro Power Onboard system works especially well for job sites, and the Power Reserve feature will automatically shut down generator power to conserve battery. Best of all, as a zero-emissions vehicle, the F-150 Lightning helps businesses meet sustainability goals. Also, because it emits zero exhaust, the Lightning is capable of working within spaces and environments that would normally be off-limits, like indoors or in densely populated areas where ventilation is inadequate.
