Trucks earn their living around here. Monday means a trailer behind the hitch and a long run on I-75, and Saturday might mean a boat, a camper, or a bed full of mulch. The Ford F-150 near Dayton, OH, has spent decades proving it can handle both halves of that week, and at Dave Arbogast Ford, we keep a deep selection of trims in stock so you can see the differences for yourself.
Eight trims sounds like a lot until you match them to a job. A contractor pulling equipment five days a week and a family towing a camper twice a summer need two different trucks, even though both wear the same badge. We walk through cab styles, bed lengths, and axle ratios with you, and we will say so plainly when a lower trim covers what you need.
The 2.7L EcoBoost V6 opens the lineup with 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic. Properly equipped, it pulls up to 8,400 pounds, which covers a small boat or a utility trailer without paying for capability you rarely use. The 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 answers with 400 horsepower, 410 lb-ft, and up to 12,800 pounds of towing, plus the exhaust note that a lot of truck buyers still want under their right foot.
For heavier work, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 makes 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft, with a best-in-class max tow rating of 13,500 pounds and up to 2,440 pounds of payload when properly configured. The 3.5L PowerBoost full hybrid pairs that twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor for 430 total system horsepower, up to 11,600 pounds of towing, and Pro Power Onboard that turns the bed into a working outlet at up to 7.2 kW.
Every F-150 arrives with a 12-inch center touchscreen running SYNC 4 and a digital gauge cluster, so the basics are covered whether you ordered a work truck or a Platinum. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the available Ford Connectivity Package adds a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices.
Trailer tech is where this truck saves real aggravation. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist steers, brakes, and accelerates into position so hitching stops being a two-person job, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist lets you aim a trailer with a knob instead of arguing with the wheel. Available BlueCruise adds hands-free driving on mapped highways.
Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard across the lineup with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS blind spot monitoring with trailer coverage, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and lane centering on equipped trucks. LED headlamps are standard on every truck, and Lariat models add dynamic bending headlamps that swivel through curves.
Cabins are built around the way people really use a pickup. SuperCrew models give rear passengers 43.6 inches of legroom, the rear seats flip up for coolers and gear, and lockable under-seat storage keeps valuables hidden. The available Pro Access Tailgate swings out a full 100 degrees to get you 19 inches closer to whatever is in the bed.
Sorting through eight trims, three cab styles, three bed lengths, and six engines goes faster with a Ford F-150 parked in front of you and someone beside it who knows the order guide. That part is on us.
Here is how the eight trims line up. Towing figures reflect the strongest engine offered on each trim, properly configured, and the axle ratio matters as much as the engine badge.

Those numbers shift with cab style, bed length, axle ratio, and package content. Tell us what sits behind your hitch, and we will match a configuration to it.
We are a family-owned store, and we have been at this long enough to know nobody enjoys a hard sell. Our team lays out the numbers, answers the questions you came in with, and gives you room to think. If your credit history has a few bumps, our finance specialists work with those situations daily, and you can get pre-approved online first.
We also build trucks that most Ford stores do not, including Black Widow lifted models by SCA Performance and Shelby Super Snake builds, so if you want something with more presence in the driveway, we can get you there. Stop by, take one down the road, and see which trim fits your week. We deliver, too, if the drive does not work for your schedule.
You will find a full selection of new F-150 trucks at Dave Arbogast Ford. We stock multiple trims, cab styles, and bed lengths so you can compare them side by side, and we deliver nationwide if shopping from home suits you better.
It depends on the engine and how the truck is configured. The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 leads the lineup at up to 13,500 pounds when properly equipped, the 5.0L V8 handles up to 12,800 pounds, the PowerBoost full hybrid manages up to 11,600 pounds, and the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 is rated up to 8,400 pounds. Axle ratio and tow package content affect every one of those figures.
For heavier campers, a SuperCrew with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 and the max tow setup gives you the most room to work with, and Lariat and above include Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist as standard equipment. If your camper sits well under 8,000 pounds, an XLT with the right axle ratio usually handles it for less money.
If you want strong towing and onboard electrical power in the same truck, it earns its keep. The PowerBoost pairs a twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor for 430 total system horsepower and up to 11,600 pounds of towing, and it supports Pro Power Onboard at up to 7.2 kW. Contractors and anyone who camps or tailgates tend to get the most out of it.
We do. Our Ford service center handles everything from oil changes to transmission work, and we offer mobile service along with pickup and delivery when getting to us is inconvenient. Genuine Ford parts and accessories come through our parts department.
You can. Custom factory ordering lets you pick the cab style, bed length, engine, axle ratio, and packages instead of settling for whatever sits on the lot. An order takes longer than driving something home the same day, though you end up with the exact truck you wanted.
