What is the best pickup truck for 2018?
Here at Houston Ford we are, of course, biased, but when it comes to figuring out what is the best pickup truck for 2018, we would pick the Ford F-150 every time. However, we are not alone. The 2018 Ford F-150 has just earned Motor Trend Truck of the Year honors for 2018. This is the fifth time the Ford F-150 has taken the Motor Trend Truck of the Year honor, and the second year in a row that a Ford truck has earned this title. For 2017, the all-new Ford Super Duty earned this prestigious honor. Check out some of the highlights that make the 2018 Ford F-150 one of the best pickup truck for 2018 below.
Powertrain Options
The powertrain options on the new 2018 Ford F-150 wowed the Motor Trend judges. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 offers best-in-class mileage with a rating of up to 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Drivers craving excellent towing can opt for the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 and enjoy a best-in-class, 13,200-pound towing rating. A 3.3-liter V-6, 5.0-liter V-8 and a second 3.5-liter Ecoboost V-6 (on the Raptor only) round out the engine options.
Other Highlights
While the engines of the 2018 Ford F-150 may be one of the highlights, there are plenty of other technology advantages that make this pickup one of the best. Some models are available with features like a power moonroof, Apple CarPlay compatibility, a multi-angle 360-degree camera system, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. The Raptor trim of the 2018 Ford F-150 also offers elite all-terrain features like FOX shocks, an off-roading suspension, and specialized tires.
The 2018 Ford F-150 impressed Motor Trend judges, but it also earned a Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award for the fourth year in a row in the pickup truck category.
