Introduction
The Ford F-150 is America’s best-selling vehicle, bar none. The famed pickup truck has dominated the car market for years and continues to be a force in the car industry. Why is the F-150 so popular? The vehicle continues to cater to the wants of consumers and there is an F-150 configuration available for all who want or need a pickup.
Is Ford changing the F-150 in 2024?
Yes, Ford is changing the F-150 in 2024. The perennial best seller entered a new generation in 2021 and is now going through a refresh in 2024. Most of the changes are cosmetic but Ford is trimming up the F-150 to only offer the powertrains that sell. This unfortunately means that the diesel powertrain has gone the way of the dodo. While this saddens a few consumers, most of us are not too sad to see the base V6 leave the F-150 lineup.The new base engine is the 2.7-liter twin turbo V6 engine. You will get more power in your pickup right from the get go.
In another move that makes more consumers happy, every F-150 is equipped with a 12 inch infotainment screen. A few new technologies have also been added to the F-150 for the first time ever. Blue Cruise, Ford’s hand free driving system is now available on the lineup. A new “find my” feature has been added to the pickup in the event your vehicle is stolen.
To get in on the multifunction tailgate Ford has added a bed access tailgate that opens with a hinge on the side as opposed to on the bottom, in a traditional tailgate. This gives you quick easy access to the bed without needing to climb over, or reach over the tailgate.
The Tremor returns with more upgrades than before. It now has a more aggressive front end and more orange highlights throughout. Now there is also an available winch and light bar for the Tremor as Ford adds more off-roading features than ever before.
When can I order a 2024 Ford F-150?
The 2024 F-150 order banks opened on September 13th, 2023 and you are able to get your order in currently for the upcoming pickup. This is definitely a model year worth splurging for as it offers more standard luxury features with the 12 inch infotainment screen coming as standard even on the XL trim.
Beyond that the Tremor has been updated to come with a more aggressive off-roading styling and has more available features like the new winch and light bar.
