2025 Ford F-150 Regular Cab

Offering a version for virtually any truck buyer, it's no wonder the Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. This full-size pickup sits above the smaller Maverick and Ranger in Ford's lineup and has enough different variations for just about anybody. Whether it's a bare-bones work truck, a near-luxury pickup with leather, gadgets, and tons of chrome, or virtually anything in between, the F-150 lineup has it covered. There's also the all-electric F-150 Lightning and heavy-duty Super Duty series, both reviewed separately.

Competition is understandably tight in the full-size pickup class and there's no doubt rivals have the class-leading F-150 in their crosshairs. The Ram 1500 is also a great choice for its comfortable ride and refined interior, while the Toyota Tundra has smooth power and easy-to-use controls. The GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado are also in the running, but they don't manage to meaningfully distinguish themselves from the rest. You should definitely start your truck search with the Ford F-150, so be sure to check out our Expert Rating.

The Ford F-150 boasts one of the most diverse lineups of any vehicle. Starting with the bare-bones XL trim to the luxurious King Ranch and the powerful off-road-focused Raptor, it seems as though there's a model for every kind of truck buyer. If that's not enough, there are also endless options to appoint your truck to perfectly suit your needs. This is particularly true when it comes to towing, as the F-150 can pull up to 13,500 pounds when properly equipped. Trailer backup assist, an integrated trailer brake controller and extended blind-spot warning further ease the burden on the driver.

Back in 2021 we added Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid to our long term fleet. During its time with us, we took it on multiple camping and other road trips, and of course used it to move untold numbers of boxes. The hybrid powertrain garnered almost zero complaints about power, with the combination of the hybrid's electric motors and the powerful turbocharged V6 proving significantly more than adequate. All the while, the F-150 impressed us with its ride quality and quiet cabin, even though our XLT trim wasn't particularly bougie inside. About the only real downside was fuel economy numbers that rarely reached the EPA estimates. We managed just under 20 mpg overall, which isn't bad for a powerful full-sized pickup, but we'd hoped for better. For more specific thoughts, check out our F-150 Hybrid long-term review here.
