The Ford F-150 is usually the preferred choice if you just want the pleasure of owning a truck. The new F-150 is big, confident, bold, and intelligent, making it a standout with lots of presence. It's also a great option if you're an off-road enthusiast, and its F-150 Raptor trim even offers something for the performance enthusiast in you with 450 horsepower.

If you plan to use the F-150 for work, it's plenty capable - in fact, it's more capable than any other full-size pickup out there. With the F-150, you can get best-in-class payload capabilities with the 5.0-liter V8 and a best-in-class conventional tow rating of 13,200 pounds with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost® twin-turbo V6.* That's more than enough for most jobs, and enough to get your boat down to the lake or camper to your planned getaway.

While the Ford F-150 makes a big splash, the new Ford F-Series Super Duty does it up even bigger. With the Super Duty, you can get your fair share of luxury with the King Ranch®, Platinum, and Limited trims, so you don't have to give up any of the finer things to enjoy massive presence and massive capability.

Speaking of massive, the 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty is the ideal choice if you have massive towing and hauling needs.
