2017 Ford F-150 Available Now at Mike Molstead Ford

The Ford F-150 is America's most popular full-size, light-duty truck for good reason, and the newest edition is as comfortable at the worksite or ranch as it is in suburban streets. And it's available in a nearly endless range of configurations depending on your needs. From three cabin styles and three bed lengths to four different engines to seven different trim levels from which to choose, there's a Ford F-150 that can be built specifically for you. 

Power and Performance

• The base engine is a very capable 3.5-liter V6 that makes 282 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. It's EPA-rated at 20 mpg combined, and maximum towing capacity is 7,600 pounds.
• Among the three optional engines, the first is a turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 that produces 325 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque. The 2.7-liter is rated at 22 mpg combined and can tow up to 8,500 pounds.
• The 5.0-liter V8 engine is go-to choice when you need serious towing capacity but still want real-world fuel economy. The V8 cranks out 385 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of torque. It can tow up to 11,100 pounds and gets 18 mpg combined.
• The biggest jobs will call for the F-150's most sophisticated engine: redesigned 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 that makes an eye-opening 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. Properly equipped, it can tow up 12,200 pounds and is EPA-rated at 21 mpg combined.

Features and Options

The 2017 F-150 has three available cab styles, including Regular, SuperCab (extended) and SuperCrew (crew cab); three bed lengths (5.5-, 6.5- or 8-foot) depending on which cab style is chosen, and seven trim levels, including XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited and Raptor.

• The base F-150 XL includes 17-inch steel wheels, trailer sway control, pre-wired trailer connections, vinyl flooring, a cloth-upholstered 40/20/40-split front bench, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a driver information display, air-conditioning, manual crank windows, a 4.2-inch central display screen, Bluetooth, and a four-speaker radio with auxiliary input. SuperCab and SuperCrew models receive 60/40-split folding rear seats and two additional speakers. An optional 101A package adds power windows and locks (including the tailgate), power mirrors, a cargo management system with four tie-down cleats, remote keyless entry, cruise control, Ford's MyKey vehicle control feature, a bigger driver information screen, Sync voice controls, smartphone app integration, a USB port and a CD player. Other XL add-ons include chrome and sport appearance packages, the FX4 Off-Road package, side steps, a tailgate assist step, drop-in or spray-in bedliners, and trailer tow packages with Ford's Pro Trailer Backup Assist system (essentially a self-steering system to simplify backing up with a trailer).

The F-150 XLT trim has the XL's optional 101A package, and adds alloy wheels, chrome bumpers and exterior trim, foglights, a keypad entry system (with keyless entry and ignition), rear privacy glass, carpeting, four-way-adjustable headrests, manual driver and passenger lumbar adjustments, and additional interior storage bins and pockets. The XLT has several options. The Mid 301A option package adds heated mirrors, an auto-dimming driver-side and rearview mirror, a trailer hitch, an eight-way power driver seat, power-adjustable pedals, rear under-seat storage, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a rearview camera and a seven-speaker sound system with satellite radio. The Luxury 302A package includes those items along with a power-sliding rear window, rear parking sensors, LED bed lighting, remote ignition, 10-way power-adjustable, heated front seats, a 110-volt power outlet, an 8-inch touchscreen (with Sync 3, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and two USB ports. Notable standalone options include a tailgate step, a regular sunroof (SuperCab), a panoramic sunroof (SuperCrew), blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, remote vehicle tracking, inflatable rear seat belts and a navigation system.

Stepping up to F-150 Lariat gets many of XLT's Luxury 302A features standard. It also brings 18-inch wheels, front tow hooks, power-folding mirrors, an 8-inch driver information display with expanded capabilities, dual-zone automatic climate control, driver memory settings, leather upholstery and ventilated front seats. In addition to many of the options offered on the XLT, the Lariat is also eligible for the Mid 501A package and Luxury 502A packages. The Mid 501A package includes a remote tailgate release and front-facing spotlights, while the Luxury 502A package adds LED headlights and taillights, automatic high beams, automatic wipers, a heated, power-adjustable steering wheel, front bucket seats, heated rear outboard seats (SuperCrew), an 11-speaker Sony audio system, a navigation system and Sync Connect. Other options include lane departure warning, a surround-view camera system, an automated parallel-parking system, and adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning.

The F-150 King Ranch trim is only offered as a SuperCrew, includes the Luxury 502A package and features a Western styling theme inside and out.

With a bit more conventional luxury equipment, the F-150 Platinum trim adds 20-inch wheels, power-deployable running boards and aluminum interior trim. The top-tier F-150 Limited comes with 22-inch wheels, wood interior trim, unique styling details and many of the F-150's optional features as standard.  

Last but not least is off-road-focused F-150 Raptor. It has a set-up similar to XLT's but gets a reinforced frame; a special four-wheel-drive system; a modified, long-travel suspension; flared fenders; skid plates; 17-inch wheels and upgraded off-road tires; and special interior trim with leather and cloth upholstery. The Raptor is available with many of the same options packages you can get with the XLT and Lariat as well as a few exterior styling packages, a Torsen limited-slip front differential and forged, bead-lock capable wheels.
