For customers who can’t decide between a Raptor and a Platinum
Ford has released a new range-topping version for its F-150 fullsize pickup truck that combines power and luxury in a convincing package.
According to Ford, the 2019 Ford F-150 Limited targets fans who love Raptor power but want a more upscale package. The upscale model’s highlight is the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 that was previously reserved to the F-150 Raptor.
On the Limited, the engine offers the same power and torque ratings as on the F-150 Raptor: 450 hp and 510 lb-ft (691 Nm) of torque. Looking from the outside, though, you wouldn’t know that the F-150 Limited packs that much power. The only visual hints are the dual exhaust tips integrated into new rear bumper cutouts.
[NativeAd]Signature design elements also include the raised Limited lettering on the hood, polished aluminum 22-inch wheels, and satin-finish details such as the grille, tailgate applique, window trim, and door handles. The model also comes with standard power-deployable running boards, tailgate release and a twin-panel moonroof.
While it looks upscale from the outside, nothing can prepare you for the F-150 Limited’s opulent interior. The cabin combines luxurious materials such as Miko suede headliner, leather-topped instrument panel and door panels, ash swirl wood trim, and Camel Back two-tone leather upholstery.
Needless to say, the spec sheet lives up to the rest of the package. Highlights include the multi-contour front seats with lumbar support and massage, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated captain’s front chairs, remote start, SYNC 3 with AppLink, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, FordPass Connect 4G LTE modem, B&O Play audio system, and a laser-etched plaque on the center console armrest bearing the vehicle’s serial number.
The 2019 Ford F-150 Limited is loaded with technology as well. A 360-degree camera with split-view display is standard, as are an integrated trailer brake controller, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Active Park Assist, and Lane-Keeping System.
The new range-topping F-150 will arrive in dealerships later this year.
