Five Must-See 2020 Ford F150 Features and Specifications

For more outstanding off-roading capabilities, add the Fx4 Off-Road Package. The Fx4 Off-Road Package locks the rear axle for enhanced wheel traction. There is no doubt that F-150 navigates tight spaces and off-road trails without issue.
10-Speed Automatic Transmission
All F-150 models owe their power and consequent performance to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The EcoBoost, V8, and diesel engines’ power translates to superior performance due to a transmission design optimized with wide-span gear spacing, drag-reduction actions, and three overdrive gears.
Smart Towing Features
Every truck buyer purchases a truck in part because of towing capabilities. The F-150 comes with a smart trailer tow connecter that alerts the driver should the truck experience connectivity, lighting, and battery issues.
Features and specifications available for additional purchases include Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS). Pro Trailer Backup Assist synchronizes trailer and truck back up guaranteeing extra safety. BLIS lets the driver know when a vehicle is in a blind spot or alongside a trailer.
Additionally, smart material use begets smart towing. Another smart towing feature of the F-150 series is a lightweight military-grade aluminum alloy frame. The lightweight frame reduces the truck’s overall weight, effectively creating a best-in-class payload for comparable trucks powered by similar Ford 5.0L V8 engines.
Ford Co-Pilot360
The Ford Co-Pilot360 comprises smart technologies intended to increase safety, promote defensive navigation, and confident driving. The BLIS system mentioned above, with six other assistive technologies, is a part of the Co-Pilot360 technology suite.
Other smart features include a lane-keeping system, pre-collision with emergency braking, adaptive high-beam headlamps and, a rearview camera.
