Introduction

Ford is relentless.

Exterior Features

Ford updates the F-150’s front and rear styling for 2018, installing new headlights, taillights, bumpers, grilles, and a more sculptural tailgate with “F-150” boldly stamped into the aluminum. Six new aluminum wheel designs debut, too, ranging in size from 17 inches to 22 inches in diameter.

Interior Features

Inside, Ford leaves the F-150 pretty much alone. The XLT Sport and Lariat Sport models are offered with new carbon fiber dashboard trim, and the upscale versions get new leather treatments called Kingsville (King Ranch), Dark Marsala (Platinum), and Navy Pier (Limited).

Optional Features

Ford did not announce any changes to the 2018 F-150 pickup’s optional equipment list, except as described in the sections that follow.

Under the Hood

While the 2018 F-150 looks similar to the existing truck inside and out, there are big changes under the pickup’s imposing hood.

Safety

While Ford invested a ton of effort in upgrading the F-150’s engines, it didn’t forget to keep its popular pickup technologically up-to-date.

Technology

In addition to driver assistance and collision avoidance systems, the new F-150’s Sync 3 infotainment system now offers a 4G LTE Wi-Fi internet hotspot connection that supports up to 10 devices. You pay the cost of service, and you can access the internet from just about anywhere.
