In the battle of half-ton horsepower there can be only one champion. Automotive brands meet in a whirl of chrome and smoke, trying to eke out the slightest percentage of supremacy; and trucks wage war on the track, delivering pedal-to-the-metal performance.
They all should've stayed home.
As the NY Daily News explains, only one pick-up proves a true powerhouse - and that's the 2018 F-150. This Ford monster effortlessly dominates the competition, with its standard 3.3L V6 yielding 290 HP and 265 lb.-ft of torque. A robust six-speed automatic transmission provides custom drive-modes (Normal, Tow/Haul, and Sport) to optimize the performance-band on every terrain; while twin independent cam timing technology optimizes both air intake and fuel distribution, opening and closing valves as needed to maintain ideal engine responses.
Through this, the 2018 F-150 delivers a staggering 13,200 pounds of conventional trailering and a payload capacity of 3,720 pounds. No other competitor comes close:
2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1550
Towing: 12,500 pounds.
Payloads: 2,250 pounds.
2018 GMC Sierra 1500
Towing: 12,500 pounds.
Payloads: 2,250 pounds.
The F-150 reigns as the definitive pick-up champion - and we expect this to continue for many years to come. To learn more about this truck's performance capabilities contact us today!
