For the third consecutive year, the good folks at at Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com have picked the 2017 Ford F-150 as their Pickup Truck Best Buy, stating that it “sets the benchmark for pickups with its blend of capability, competence and innovation.”

The expert paid particular attention to the truck’s new powertrain, which offers both more power and efficiency. Ford’s latest innovation is pairing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The upgraded engine generates 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, giving the F-150 the ability to tow up to 12,200 pounds.
Since not everyone wants their F-150 to serve exclusively as a work truck, that engine also produces effortless acceleration and passing for your daily driving. The expert observed that the two twin-turbocharged V6 engines perform more like a V8; for those who still want a naturally-aspirated V8, there is a 5.0-liter available.
Ford didn’t skimp on the amenities, offering massaging front seats, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control, a Sync® 3 system that’s compatible with both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, blind spot monitoringand even more. The result is a truck that’s both Ford tough and sophisticated.
