2019 Ford F-150 Lariat

The 2019 F-150 is Ford's full-size pickup, offered in work-truck XL trim up to the luxury Limited and the high-performance Raptor. It squares off against the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, holding its own with a choice of capable engines. The F-150 drives with a composed, confident feel, and the available V8 provides strong acceleration for towing and hauling. The cabin is roomy and comfortable, with generous rear-seat space in SuperCrew models and a user-friendly Sync infotainment system. With multiple bed lengths and cab configurations, the F-150 adapts to work or family duty, and the tailgate step eases bed access. Stepping up to the Lariat from the XLT adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a larger touchscreen with Ford's Sync 3 system. The 5.0L V8 under the hood makes 395 horsepower, and with four-wheel drive and the automatic transmission, it pulls strongly whether you're towing or just accelerating onto the highway. Expect fuel economy around 13 mpg combined with the V8 and four-wheel drive, which is typical for a full-size pickup with this much capability.
