The engine on a truck is a vital value. Since you are purchasing a truck for your active life, you need to know that it will be able to tow and haul all of your work equipment. The 2021 Ford F-150 has the largest lineup of engines in its class, including:

• 3.0L diesel V6 engine with 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque
