A lot of the F-150's appeal comes from its wide range of configurations. On basic work trucks, the base 3.3-liter V6 is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. All other engines — including a fuel-efficient turbodiesel, two turbocharged V6s and a tried-and-true V8 — are equipped with a quick-shifting 10-speed. Depending on your needs, there are versions that excel in towing, comfort, fuel economy or off-road performance.

Ford has invested heavily to keep the F-150 updated with the times. In addition to its lightweight all-aluminum body, the truck offers a selection of advanced technologies. Standard on all models is a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and most trim levels come with the Sync 3 infotainment system and an 8-inch touchscreen. Pre-collision assist with automatic braking is also standard equipment. New for 2020, the Ford Co-Pilot360 safety suite comes on the Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited trims.

The F-150 is a well-rounded truck with few compromises for a full-size pickup. But it's been a while since this version first launched in 2014, and you should note that competitors offer newer models. In particular, the Ram 1500 goes above and beyond with its smoother ride quality and innovative storage areas. The Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra are also freshly redesigned. But if you look to the F-150 for its advanced technology and user-friendliness, you won't be disappointed.

Notably, the 2020 Ford F-150 is a featured vehicle in our Cheapest New Cars article.

What's it like to live with the F-150?

The F-150 has been the truck sales leader for decades, so every new F-150 is massively important. That's why we bought a bright blue Lariat for our long-term fleet when this generation launched in 2015. While we liked the truck overall, we were unimpressed by the new 2.7-liter engine's real-world fuel economy compared to its EPA numbers. When the 2018 model bowed with a new transmission, we decided to buy another F-150 in nearly the exact same configuration, in part to see if the fuel economy improved. To read about how economy improved — or didn't — read our long-term F-150 test, where we also covered everything from performance to long-distance seat comfort.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2020 Ford F-150 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the F-150 drive? The F-150 offers strong and reasonably quick performance across its range of engines, including the turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6. Larger engines provide more torque for greater towing and hauling capability, and the 10-speed automatic transmission provides smooth shifts on all trims. The steering and braking are both good for a pickup truck, but it has room to improve now that the competition has stepped up its game.

Overall, the F-150 is an enjoyable place to be. For such a large pickup, it's reasonably simple to maneuver in tight spaces, and the soft suspension keeps passengers comfortable on the road. It's clearly designed to pull heavy loads, though it's compliant enough for daily driving and long family trips.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the F-150? The F-150 provides a comfortable place for both driver and passengers. The front seats are well-shaped and can be ordered with both heating and ventilation. The crew cab's rear seats are nearly as comfortable. An unladen bed can cause the truck to shake on uneven pavement, though the truck generally has good manners.

Wind and road noise is nearly absent on the highway, especially if you do without the optional larger tow mirrors. Engine noise is also pleasantly muted when cruising. The clearly labeled controls are well within reach and make it easy to navigate the climate settings.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The roomy interior has wide windows that provide plenty of outward visibility. Helpful grab handles at every doorway and standard running boards on the Lariat trim and above ease entry into the cabin. Adjustable seats, pedals and steering wheel help any driver find a comfortable seating position.

The truck's shifter is mounted in the center console versus a stalk coming from the steering wheel as in traditional trucks. This placement takes up some space in front of the center controls. But the buttons and knobs themselves are easy to reach and are large enough to manage while wearing thick work gloves.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Ford took a big leap forward in making its 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot standard across all F-150 models. The system offers more initial data than Ram and more device connections than Chevrolet. The XLT trim and above come with the Sync 3 infotainment system, which has a clear 8-inch touchscreen display with good response and accurate voice control. It is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Both the front and rear seats have two USB inputs and one 12-volt power point, plus a 110-volt AC outlet in the back. Driver aids include standard collision warning with automatic emergency braking and available lane keeping assist, trailer monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Towing and Storage

8.5/10

How are the towing and storage? Towing and hauling are particularly strong areas thanks to a high-strength frame and lightweight body. Even the F-150 with the smaller 2.7-liter turbo V6 is unfazed by heavy loads. The bed has four upper tie-downs and four lower ones. The deployable tailgate step is a nice touch.

Storage inside the cabin is good for the class, though recent challengers have raised the bar. The deep center console bin has a removable tray and helpful nook ahead of the transmission shifter. Seats in the rear flip up with the release of a handle to reveal a narrow bin for storing long items along the flat floor.

Fuel Economy

5/10

How’s the fuel economy? Several engines are capable of impressive fuel economy figures. The 3.0-liter turbodiesel is EPA rated up to 30 mpg on the highway in some configurations. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 is rated up to 22 mpg combined. In Edmunds testing, however, this engine failed to match the EPA numbers.

Value

7.5/10

Is the F-150 a good value? Warranty coverage aligns with coverage of full-size pickup rivals with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Ram, Chevrolet, GMC, Toyota and Nissan offer the same figures.

Overall build quality is also pretty typical. Entry-level F-150s have durable interior plastics, while the flashier luxury trims are lined with chrome and soft leather. All models exhibit a strong level of construction that holds up well over time. The truck's all-aluminum body, while more prone to minor damage than traditional steel, delivers enough benefit to justify the risk.

Wildcard

7.5/10

This Ford is an all-around work truck that doubles as a daily driver without trouble. It's also fairly sporty as full-size trucks go. The turbocharged V6 engines accelerates the F-150 with authority, and the V8 exudes strength. Regardless of the engine, the F-150 is easy to maneuver for its size. There's also the Raptor, which is about as wild as a truck gets.

2020 Ford F-150 trim level differences

As with most full-size pickups, there's a lot to choose from on the 2020 F-150, starting with six main trim levels: the base XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited. Ford also offers the off-road-ready Raptor variant. There are three cab styles — regular, SuperCab (extended) and SuperCrew (crew cab) — and three bed lengths, depending on cab style. Compare the 2020 Ford F-150 trim levels in-depth.

Which F-150 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The 2020 F-150 Lariat SuperCrew with rear-wheel drive and a 5.5-foot bed is a great place to start. This midlevel trim grants you standard equipment such as the punchy 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford's suite of advanced driver safety aids, called Co-Pilot360, is also included. And going with the Lariat allows you to customize your truck with some choice options while keeping pricing in check.

2020 Ford F-150 King Ranch 4dr SuperCrew 6.5 ft. SB (5.0L 8cyl 10A)

Purchased a loaded F150 King Ranch for about $74,000.00. The truck runs and drives nice, but the interior and electronics options are cheap and ford should be ashamed for this low-quality build. The B&O stereo system consistently crashes and 3 trips to the dealer and not fixed. The stereo computer power has less power than a 5-year-old cell phone. The rear camera is grainy and cheap. …

Easy to understand why it’s #1

Kayemtee, 09/16/2020

2020 Ford F-150 XLT 4dr SuperCab 8 ft. LB (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

Update two months before lease end and I very well may wind up owning this truck, but it is far from my first choice, but my cheapest option. The Covid crisis has completely changed the way cars are sold, perhaps forever. It seems that manufacturers, as well as dealers, are happier selling fewer vehicles at higher prices, rather than more vehicles with factory and dealer incentives. … Terrible for both consumers and auto workers. Even with inflation, there is no way that the net price of pretty much the same truck should be 40% more than this one was. I will not pay $10,000 more to lease a truck that is pretty much the same as mine for three years. I will wait until May and see what is available and at what price. I am looking rather intensely at all options, including buying a mid-sized three row SUV as an alternative tow vehicle (Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-90) as well as Silverado, Ram, and Tundra. All the import brands come with adaptive cruise control as standard while it is almost impossible to find in trucks from the big three unless you want to pay $70,000 for a truck. I still have the same intermittent radio issues, still don’t like the 10speed transmission as much as I did the six speed in my ‘17 XL, but nothing has convinced me that the most cost effective move is not to just buy it for cash and hope that the market will improve a year or two from now. Update 28 months into a 36 month lease: The only problem continues to be the radio, which intermittently does strange things. On occasion, it will not switch to satellite radio or will not shut off, but it works 98% of the time. Sitting overnight generally fixes the problem. Dealer has been unable to find the problem. I wouldn’t even bother let them try to fix it again if I were, with certainty, turning it in at the end of the lease, but given the insane prices of new cars, coupled with the supply issues resulting in no dealer stock, I may have to buy the truck. I am satisfied enough with this truck to lease another next year, assuming that lease prices return to the same universe as the last two leases I have made. Update 9 months after delivery. Disappointed in quality control. Rear camera stopped working intermittently in a different way than in my 2017 F-150. This time, it was the camera itself that failed rather than a computer behind the dash. Dealer replaced the camera ahead of a recall issued a bit after mine was replaced. Given that this was the last year of the old design, it’s hard to understand why the supplier still had a problem providing a reliable unit. Additionally, the entire “radio” (or whatever they call it these days) stopped working (also intermittently). The dealer was able to reproduce the problem and fix it ahead of a long trip I just took. Nothing but speculation here, but given these components have been in use since 2015, is it possible that Ford has been squeezing suppliers on price, resulting in faulty pieces? Given what I’ve read about catastrophic engine failures on new GM and Jeep Chrysler products, these relatively minor issues have not yet convinced me to look elsewhere next time. I was extremely satisfied with the 2017 XL Supercab so when the lease was up, looked for another. I upgraded slightly with an XLT this time and got heated power front seats, bed lighting, adjustable pedals, an opening rear window, First, lease prices. I shopped other brands but all were more expensive for comparable trucks, especially Toyota. If Toyotas have such high resale value, why are the leases so much more? The 2.7 EcoBoost has plenty of power; with a lease, I’m not concerned about long term durability. It does burn a lot of gas, particularly when towing my 4000+ pound boat (12mpg). The truck only averages 20mpg if I drive on flat ground under 60mph. You won’t even realize the trailer is there. Climbs mountains effortlessly at 80mph with the boat behind it. Unless I was towing greater weight, I see no need for either of the bigger engines. The seats are extremely comfortable, even in the base model. 12 hour drives are no problem. Ride comfort is remarkable for a truck, particularly with weight in the bed or when towing. We have made once a year, 3000 mile trips with the boat in tow and its a pleasure with this truck. My new one came with a split bench rather than a console; not sure I like it as much although it can be folded down and has lots of storage within it. Rear seats are adequate for adults on shorter trips; we don’t use them often except for the dog and we prefer the longer bed. I’m not sold on the ten speed transmission over the six speed I had in my ‘17. I haven’t seen any improved gas mileage and not smoother either. Automatic dimming high beams were a new feature I hadn’t expected. My previous boat was somewhat heavier, so I considered getting a lesser tow vehicle this time around, but I am so pleased with the way my old one towed, I was reluctant to downsize to a vehicle that was approaching maximum towing capacity. Before 2017, I had never owned a pickup. We towed with older Explorers and then Expeditions, but the latter got so expensive. We never carried a lot of passengers, so I was spending money for features I didn’t use. It’s great to be able to bring home large objects and garden stuff. In summary, I’m very happy with this truck. I have an XLT SuperCab with the 2.7 and a 6.5 foot bed, not an option offered in the menu below.
