The most important specifications to consider when looking at your new pickup include: engine lineup (with horsepower and torque), towing capacity, payload, and cargo volume. Learn more about each important spec.

Ford Truck Engine Lineup

Perhaps the most important spec for any truck is the engine lineup. The engine is the core of the truck contributing directly to its payload, hauling, and towing. The F-150 has four engines in its lineup, with the fourth providing two different configurations.

The base level engine weighs in as a V6 3.3-liter. It's capable of delivering 290 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. Next up is a turbo 2.7-liter V6 that delivers 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Third in the lineup is a 5.0-liter V8 which is capable of an impressive 395 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.

The fourth-level engine, a turbo 3.5-liter V6, comes in two configurations. The lower-level power grade delivers 375 horsepower and kicks out 470 lb-ft of torque, while the upper configuration is able to generate 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.

F-150 Towing Capacity

Towing capacity for the 2018 F-150 specs varies based on engine and configuration, and the maximum towing numbers increase based on the engine configuration. The peak towing capacity for the 3.3-liter V6 is 7,700 pounds, the 2.7-liter Turbo is 8,500 pounds, the 5.0-liter V8 is 11,100 pounds, and the 3.5-liter Turbo V6 tows up to 12,100 pounds.

Ford F-150 Payload Capacity and Cargo Space

Once again, the payload capacity of your pickup is tied to the engine power under the hood. On the F-150, the base engine gives you 1,950 pounds. Next up, you'll get 2,470 pounds with the payload package and a 141-inch wheelbase. Both the third and the top engine in the lineup give you up to 3,230 pounds of payload.

In terms of cargo space, depending on which bed size and cargo box you choose, you'll get either 52.8 cubic feet of cargo volume, 62.3 cubic feet, or 77.4 cubic feet. These depend on whether you choose the 5.5-foot bed, 6.5-foot bed, or 8-foot bed, respectively.
