Ford Trucks Comparison

A truck is a great way to get maximum utility from your daily driver. However, some shoppers may find them impractical due to their often larger space requirements and higher price tags. To address these and other issues, Ford created the Maverick, a compact pickup with open-bed versatility, capable yet efficient performance, and city-friendly maneuverability. The Ford Maverick's excellent well-roundedness has helped it earn back-to-back Car and Driver 10Best awards (2023, 2024).

While small by modern truck standards, the Maverick's diminutive dimensions belie its impressive practicality. It features a FlexBed cargo box with threaded DIY holes, optional cubbies and power outlets, and eight tie-downs. It boasts a 1,500 payload rating and offers an available bed extender, bringing the usable length to six feet.

Standard power comes from a 250-horsepower EcoBoost® engine. However, if you're not seeking maximum towing capability, you can opt for the 191-horsepower hybrid engine with EPA-estimated mpg ratings in the range of a small car. For Sparta shoppers seeking adventure beyond the asphalt, the Tremor Off-Road Package (XLT, Lariat) bolsters the Maverick's terrain-tackling prospects with an advanced 4WD system, off-road suspension tuning, a locking rear differential, Ford Trail Control™, and more.

Do you need more capability than a compact pickup but still want something smaller than a full-size model? The Ford Ranger is an excellent choice. Equipped with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® (270 horsepower/310 pound-feet of torque), it can tow and haul up to 7,500 and 1,850 pounds, respectively, when properly equipped.

Fully redesigned for 2024, the fifth-gen Ford Ranger sports a bold new look, improved amenities and tech, and more performance options. Besides its standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost®, the 2024 Ranger also offers a 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 (315 horsepower/400 pound-feet of torque) borrowed from the F-150 lineup. It also introduces the long-awaited Ranger Raptor with a new 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 (405 horsepower, 430 pound-feet of torque) and myriad off-road-ready upgrades.

The 2024 Ford Ranger's cabin gets a new 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and several small-item storage options, including a large center console, rear under-seat cargo bins, and fold-flat rear seatbacks. Depending on the configuration, you can find even more tech features like a fully digital gauge cluster, a larger 12-inch touchscreen, Connected Built-In Navigation, Bang & Olufsen premium audio, and Co-Pilot360™ driver aids.

America's top-selling vehicle for over four decades, the Ford F-150 sets the standard for the light-duty full-size truck class. It offers spacious accommodations, numerous configuration options, cutting-edge tech, and an extensive roster of capable powertrains - all with at least 400 pound-feet of torque.

For 2024, the Ford F-150 has discontinued the 3.3-liter V6, leaving the more powerful 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 (325 horsepower/400 pound-feet of torque) as the standard engine. Other options include a 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 (400 horsepower/410 pound-feet of torque), a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 (400 horsepower/500 pound-feet of torque), and the PowerBoost® full-hybrid V6 (430 horsepower/570 pound-feet of torque.)

To be a class-leading truck requires more than segment-topping performance. The Ford F-150 provides abundant amenities to make work and life a little easier. Available Pro Power Onboard turns your pickup into a mobile generator capable of offboarding up to 7.2 kW through four to six outlets. The F-150 also offers tech to improve the towing experience, including Pro Trailer Backup Assist,  a 360-degree surround-view camera, Trailer Reverse Guidance, and Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage. Plus, with available Ford Blue Cruise, you can enjoy true hands-free operation on over 130,000 miles of pre-qualified North American roads.

The F-150 Lightning is the fully electric version of America's favorite truck brand, featuring a dual-motor four-wheel-driving powertrain with two battery options. The 98-kWh "Standard Range" battery provides 240 miles of range, while 131-kWh "Extended Range" models achieve an estimated 320 miles.¹

An impressive tech showcase, the F-150 Lightning comes standard with dual 12-inch displays, SYNC® 4 infotainment, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Ford Co-Pilot360™ 2.0 driver aids. Flash and higher trims  get a 15.5-inch SYNC® 4A screen, Enhanced Voice Recognition, Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, and Ford BlueCruise.

Modern full-size light-duty trucks have gotten stronger than ever. For the toughest tasks, however, you may still require something with even more grunt. That's when you need the prodigious power and proven durability of Ford Super Duty. Models like Ford F-250 and F-350 offer similar accommodations and equipment to their smaller F-150 sibling but with specially engineered suspensions, chassis, and burly V8 engines to deliver best-in-class power, towing, and payload ratings.

Standard Ford Super Duty propulsion comes from a 6.8-liter V8 with 400 horsepower/445 pound-feet of torque, while the optional 7.3-liter engine is the  segment's most powerful gasoline V8 (430 horsepower/485 pound-feet of torque). Two 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V8 options are available for drivers seeking the most potent pulling power: a standard version with 475 horsepower/1,050 pound-feet and a high-output variant with 500 horsepower/1,200 pound-feet.
