The Ford F-150 has lived a long life and just keep getting better and better each year. The 2014 Ford F150 makes for a good tow truck, which is why it is offered in a wide variety of trims and powertrains. While its not the hottest full-size truck on the market, it remains a must-have for buyers. Who wouldn’t want a truck that can glide over rough terrain in nearly any weather condition? In this case, the pros certainly outweigh the cons; its engine lineup is irresistible while its multiple convenience features offer a luxurious experience. On the other hand, the SuperCab’s clamshell rear doors and irritating electronics interface are something to watch out for. Except for a few minor adjustments to options and equipment, the 2014 Ford F-150 is not much different from previous versions.
Introduction
Ford F-150 engines are designed to conquer the road, which is what makes it so popular among buyers. Purchasing a pickup truck can be tricky, considering how similar competitors are in engines, towing capacities and cab styles. However, what sets the Ford F-150 at a higher standard is the infinite variety within its lineup. You can choose a luxurious, deluxe version such as the King Ranch or something as simple as a bare work truck. It can also be outfitted for off-roading, as presented in the SVT Raptor model. Whatever your preferences are, the 2014 Ford F-150 has got you covered.

Customization
The Ford F-150’s engine bay is highly customizable. The power plants are available as a V-6, base, 2.6 liter and a V-8. All are excellent options, but the Ecoboost 3.5 liter V6 engine is by the the most fascinating, with its powerful torque and superior towing ability. Weight will not be a problem, for its towing capacity is unparalleled. Also, if you commute to work in your truck, you’ll be pleased to know that this model gets very good mpg.
Pricing
The 2014 Ford F150 has an estimated value of $24, 623. If you are having trouble coming up with cash for a down payment, you may want to consider selling your old vehicle to a reputable car buyer such as www.cashforcars.org. Another useful site is Kelley’s Blue Book [AUTHORITY URL: http://www.kbb.com], which will tell you how much your old car is worth. To ensure you get the best deal when buying an F-150, be sure to check the car’s accident history, advises Carfax.
Interior
The interior is also a nice surprise. The SuperCrew body design allows plenty of room to stretch out and advanced technological features are available, such as a voice activated GPS, USB ports so you can charge your electronics and a rear view camera that eliminates blind spots. However, using the Ford Touch Interface may pose as a change to some Ford owners. In addition to this disappointment, the Ford’s interior upholstery is beginning to reflect its age, as its quality is only ordinary. The reverse hinged doors on the extended cab models seem impractical, whereas most trucks nowadays have moved on to front hinged doors. If you can get past these minor defects, you are likely to enjoy the many positive aspects of the 2014 Ford-F150.
