Ford F-150: Best Selling Truck
The Ford F-150 is a well-known truck and often the first pick for many truck drivers, particularly American truck drivers. For thirteen generations, the F-150 has proudly dominated the field and with good reason. The first generation F-Series first hit markets in 1948. From that point on, the F-Series Ford pickup became a popular choice in both name and capacity.

Safety
Safety has long been a primary concern for Ford manufacturers. The 1987 series F-150 received a serious overhaul that implemented new and improved safety features, such as antilock rear brakes. The addition of antilock rear brakes made this truck top-notch choice since Ford was the first to include this feature on a standard pickup.
In 1994, the F-150 underwent safety upgrades yet again, which included the addition of a driver’s side airbag, beams in the side door, and a third brake light located in the high center. With such amazing safety features, the F-150 was more than just your average work truck. It became a daily driver for many looking for power, hauling capabilities, and safety all rolled into one nice package.

"I ended up buying the 3.5 Ecoboost. I was skeptical at first because of actual fuel mileage reviews. My trip home, IMI showed my average at 23 mpg at 65 mph. Then it shows I’m getting 16.9 driving in the city. So far I am extremely pleased…The truck runs and rides great too!"
Michael Jagiello – 2016 Ford F-150 Owner
"My 2016 Ford F150 Supercrew FX4 King Ranch has all the bells and whistles a man could ask for. The safety features really come in handy, especially the adaptive cruise control on the highway. The massaging and air conditioned seats are very helpful on long drives. The 3.5L EcoBoost engine is not as fuel efficient as one might expect, however, the horsepower and torque curve feel endless. The prices one pas for these trucks (the sticker price on mine was almost $70,000) are high, but that is to be expected when you cross an F150 with a Lincoln."
