The 2022 F-150 is quickly becoming one of the most popular full-size pickups in Ford’s history, and for obvious reasons. With an impressive selection of powerful engine choices, both 4×2 and 4×4 models, and more comfort and tech amenities than ever before, this edition is a standout among Ford vehicles. So, if you have yet to become acquainted with the legendary 2022 Ford F-150, here’s a proper introduction.
Incredible Powertrain Options
This F-150’s six engine choices are all well-designed and
serve up plenty of horsepower for times when you need it. Five of these engines
are V6s with up to 450 horsepower offered at the top of the range, while the
sole V8 within the group, a 5.0-liter, pushes 400 horsepower.
One of the V6s, a 400-horsepower 3.5-liter, boasts a best-in-class tow rating,
as it’s able to pull up to 14,000 pounds. A best-in-class 3,325-pound payload
rating has also been awarded to this F-150, thanks to its V8. You also won’t be
hard-pressed to find a style that suits you, as this F-150 has eight
distinctive trim levels to choose from.
Comfortable and Work-Ready
When it comes to the vehicle’s cabin, many drivers are
surprised by how many comfort-focused features Ford was able to pack into it.
Its spacious interior has enough room to seat six in the larger cabs and offers
everything from full reclining front seats to an 18-speaker luxury audio
system.
The exterior of this pickup truck has been built for both accessibility and
productivity. Pairing together Pro Power Onboard, an available mobile
electricity generator, and the Tailgate Work Surface option, allows you to get
work done quickly. Climbing in or out of the vehicle has also been made simpler
with available step bars and running boards.
Tech for Fun and Connectivity
While the 2022 F-150 offers a wide range of impressive
technology features, there are some obvious standouts in the group. One of
these is the SYNC 4 feature, as it offers hands-free connectivity for syncing
up contacts from your smartphone or listening to music, along with your choice
of an 8-inch or 12-inch touchscreen.
Other highlights include the 4G LTE hotspot for connecting to a Wi-Fi connection,
the power-adjustable pedals with a memory function to remember your
preferences, and the vehicle’s very own mobile 7.2 kW mobile electrical
generator.
Responsive Safety Features
As for safety features, the AdvanceTrac’s Curve Control function can help to ensure that you’re going around sharp bends at a safe speed level. You can also enhance this protection by opting for the adaptive bending headlamps, which can improve the illumination of the road ahead of you while you’re making turns.
For greater vision when driving on dark roads or in poor weather conditions, the automatic high-beam headlights and available rain-sensing windshield wipers are both features worth having, while the Blind Spot Information System, with its trailer coverage function, can make lane changes safer.
The 2022 edition of the F-150 offers a unique combination of remarkable performance, astonishing towing strength, and a comfortable interior that makes every drive a pleasurable one. Visit us today at Crain Ford Jacksonville to take this iconic pickup out for a test drive.
