Discover the 2024 Ford F-150: Power, Performance, and Prestige

The 2024 F-150 was a mid-cycle refresh with real substance behind it — a redesigned front end, a genuinely clever new tailgate, and six engine choices spanning a 325-horsepower turbo V6 to a supercharged Raptor R.

That range is the reason two F-150s can share a badge and almost nothing else. Here’s how the 2024 breaks down and what to look for on a specific truck.

Six Engines, One Badge

Every 2024 F-150 uses a 10-speed automatic. The engine is where the decisions get made.

The 2.7L is enough truck for most people. Four hundred lb-ft of torque handles commuting, hauling, and a mid-size trailer without complaint. Buyers routinely talk themselves into more engine than they need.

The 3.5L EcoBoost is the towing choice among the conventional engines, with 500 lb-ft available low in the rev range.

The PowerBoost hybrid makes the most torque of the non-Raptor engines and adds serious onboard power generation. If you run tools on a site or want a backup power source during an ice storm, that feature alone can justify it.

Towing and Payload, Properly Qualified

Ford rated the 2024 F-150 lineup at up to 13,500 pounds of towing and up to 2,440 pounds of payload.

Those are lineup maximums achieved by specific configurations — particular engine, cab, bed, axle ratio, and package combinations. They are not what any given truck does.

Ratings shift substantially with configuration, and options eat into payload. A loaded Crew Cab 4×4 carries considerably less than a work-spec truck. If you’re matching a truck to a trailer, bring the loaded weight and tongue weight, and check them against that specific truck’s door-jamb sticker.

What Was New for 2024

The Pro Access Tailgate. Available on higher trims, it swings open like a door rather than only folding down. That sounds like a gimmick until you’ve tried to reach into a bed with a trailer hitched — then it’s the feature you’d pay for again.

Redesigned front end with new grille and lighting treatments that vary by trim.

Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch were available, giving real-time payload and tongue weight readings instead of estimates. Knowing your actual tongue weight is a safety improvement, not just a convenience.

Pro Power Onboard turns the truck into a generator, with output scaling by engine — the PowerBoost hybrid offers the most.

Trims

The 2024 lineup ran from work truck to luxury: XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R.

• XL and STX — work-first and value, with STX adding appearance and technology content
• XLT — the volume trim where most buyers land
• Lariat — leather and upgraded technology
• King Ranch and Platinum — premium interiors, different characters
• Tremor — off-road hardware, lifted suspension, all-terrain tires
• Raptor and Raptor R — purpose-built high-speed off-road trucks

Technology

Higher trims got a 12-inch center touchscreen running SYNC 4 alongside a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving on mapped sections with an active subscription, and available 360-degree camera views.

The interior work surface — a fold-flat console — turns the cab into a place you can sign paperwork or eat lunch without balancing it on your knee.

What to Check on a Used 2024 F-150

Which engine, confirmed. Listings sometimes just say F-150. The difference between a 2.7L and a PowerBoost is significant in both capability and running cost.

Configuration and packages. Cab, bed, axle ratio, and tow package all determine the actual towing and payload ratings. Ask for the window sticker.

Remaining factory warranty. Ford’s new vehicle limited warranty typically runs three years or 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper and five years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain, measured from the original in-service date rather than the model year. Hybrid components carry separate coverage. Ask for that date.

How it was used. A truck that towed heavy every week has lived differently than a commuter. Service records tell you which one you’re looking at.

Bed and frame condition. Look under it. Check the hitch for wear, the bed floor for damage, and the frame for corrosion, especially on a truck that’s seen Midwest winters.

Open recalls. Recalls are VIN-specific and free to remedy at any franchised dealer. Look up any VIN at NHTSA’s recall tool or Ford’s owner site.

Is an F-150 the Right Size?

If you tow above about 13,000 pounds, need gooseneck capability, or carry heavy payload regularly, you want a Super Duty instead.

If you rarely tow and mostly want a bed for projects, a Maverick does that job for considerably less money and better fuel economy.

The F-150 sits between those, and it’s the right answer for most truck buyers — but not all of them, and we’d rather say so.
