Less can truly sometimes be more. Anchoring the new F-150 King Ranch is a 3.5L EcoBoost engine. This block - which is crafted from lightweight aluminum - generates up to 400 HP and 500 lb.-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission affords seamless range control, while port-fuel and direct-injection technologies combine to bolster fuel distribution. Twin-intercooled turbochargers further impress, yielding near-instant on-demand power; and this assures class-shattering strength, with the truck earning up to 13,500 pounds in conventional trailering and a maximum payload rating of 2,445 pounds.
Compare this to the 2024 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn. Despite boasting a larger engine configuration - a 5.7L V8 - this truck earns a mere 395 HP and 410 lb.-ft of torque; and this translates to a total payload capacity of just 1,700 pounds. The difference between the King Ranch and this eight-speed platform will be keenly felt by drivers.
