The new 2018 F-150 has been creating a buzz since recently arriving here in Bismarck. It packs an impressive list of improvements over the previous model year. Take it for a test drive and you'll feel the power this truck delivers. 

In part 1 of this 3-part series, we covered the design and styling of this leader of the pickup pack.

Performance and Handling

Ford's engineers improve this pickup every year, constantly pushing the competition. They've done just that again, this time with a more potent engine line up than ever -- including five engine choices for your new 2018 F-150.

For 2018, the previous 6-speed gearbox is replaced with a 10-speed automatic transmission, offering selectable driving modes:

  • Normal
  • Tow/Haul
  • Snow/Wet
  • EcoSelect
  • Sport

This performance-enhancing feature is included with 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 (325 horsepower and 400 lb. - ft. of torque) , 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 (375 horsepower and 470 lb. - ft. of torque), and the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 (395 horsepower and 400 lb. - ft. of torque. 

Paired with Progressive Range Select and SelectShift manual mode on all models, you'll see improved off-road and on-road performance, all while improving your gas mileage.

No matter which of the 5 powerful engines you choose for your new 2018 F-150, you'll be driving smart with the Auto Start-Stop Technology. This eco-friendly tool helps reduce fuel consumption and vehicle tailpipe emissions during city driving by switching off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop, and immediately restarting once the brake is released. 

As always, your F-150 is designed just for you, and the Start-Stop Technology has a shut-off feature if you don't need it.

Let's talk about towing. After all, your 2018 F-150 is going to be working hard, just like you. 

When properly equipped, the F-150 can tow more than any other pickup in it's class -- up to 13,200 lbs. conventional tow and 12,100 lbs. 5th wheel tow. 

When you need to tow your F-150,  all models with 4x4 and automatic transmission offer four-wheel-down capability.

The 2018 Ford F-150 has a more potent engine lineup than ever, but that's just the beginning. Ford engineers always have bigger and better plans, and the 3.0L Power Stroke® V6 Turbo Diesel engine will be available spring 2018.
