The Ford F-150 is part of Ford’s F-Series, which has remained America's most popular pickup truck for decades. Once you get to know this truck, it’s clear why people love it so much. For starters, it’s hard to deny its imposing styling. The F-150 has a classic appearance, and even though newer models have taken on a more modern look, its design still nods to that timeless, iconic pickup truck.
The F-150 has several powerful engine options, with even the base option boasting tremendous horsepower and torque, and you’ll need that power when putting the truck’s excellent towing and hauling abilities to work. Thanks to these robust engine options, you won’t feel the truck struggling when you tow that RV or farm equipment. When you shop the current lineup, you can even get a hybrid or electric F-150, giving you all of the power of the classic pickup while saving money at the pump.
The F-150 boasts a frame made from high-strength steel and a body made from military-grade aluminum and is known to remain in excellent condition even after years of use. Plus, it comes in a variety of trims with a range of capabilities and unique features, meaning there’s an F-150 for every buyer. With an array of bed and cab sizes and seating for anywhere from two to six passengers, this is also a highly versatile truck. You can opt for more bed space and less cab space for a more work-forward truck or get a larger cab if you need to transport many passengers on a regular basis.
Its interior contains high-end materials, comfortable seats, and excellent infotainment features. The F-150 might be a genuine work truck, but its interior feels upscale and modern. It’s no coincidence that Ford keeps winning awards and topping charts with this truck, and you’ll see why when you get behind the wheel.
The Ford F-Series took the world by storm shortly after World War Two. In 1948, customers feasted their eyes upon a new pickup truck line that the average driver could use with ease. Past trucks were often bought by businesses, but Ford wanted to make the pickup truck accessible for everyday drivers. Using some of the production innovations it developed building military vehicles during the war, Ford designed the F-Series, which continues to wow customers to this very day.
The truck caught on in the 1950s as Americans moved to the suburbs. Being able to haul a lot grew in importance thanks to folks living in a more spread-out fashion. In the 1960s, the F-Series was further redesigned for comfort, resulting in a truck that had more nimble handling and an interior that offered more room so that it felt less like a work vehicle and more like one a customer could also drive for pleasure.
By the time it reached its sixth generation in the mid-1970s, the truck’s headlights and grille started to more closely align with what we see today, and, for the first time, the F-Series featured the Ford F-150, which would soon become the best selling truck. The F-150’s size made it attractive to consumers because it was a little smaller than the F-250, meaning it was easier to drive for those living in areas with tighter streets, but it still came with a lot of towing power and considerable bed space. The average driver now had full access to the capability that used to be associated only with commercial vehicles.
The F-150 dominated the market in the 1980s. Debuting a more aerodynamic structure, it easily cruised down the highway even when it was doing heavy towing. A Styleside bed became standard, and its exterior continued to evolve into the image we know and love today. In the late 1990s, the truck underwent a significant redesign that not only added some more muscle to the exterior but also started adding infotainment features that made the F-150 just as desirable an option for families as for laborers.
As time has passed, the F-150 has continued to define the pickup truck for the American public. When the average driver imagines a pickup truck, they are almost certainly imagining one that looks very similar to the F-150. In its current iteration, the F-150 features a diversified lineup of trims and variants so that any type of driver can find an F-150 that is geared towards their driving lifestyle. From the off-roading F-150 Raptor to the all-electric F-150 Lightning, you will be able to find your perfect truck.
Take everything you love about the F-150 and switch out the gas engine for electric power. The result? The F-150 Lightning. This model is an EV option for truck drivers. For a long time, they said it could not be done. Electric power in a pickup? Well, Ford did it and did it well. The F-150 Lightning joined the crew for the 2022 model year, and consumers were immediately blown away by what it could offer them.
The Lightning has almost the same structure as the gas-powered F-150, so drivers lose none of the power that is ingrained in the F-Series. They also don't have to worry about constantly changing gas prices. The Lightning can offer over 300 miles of range at full charge, so you won’t find yourself in search of a charging station all the time. When you do need a quick charge, the navigation tech in the Lightning can guide you to the most convenient location. That’s right: this truck is smart in addition to being electric.
The Lightning impresses our customers because it loses none of the touches that have made the F-150 so beloved. The power you feel behind the wheel hasn’t gone anywhere. The only difference you’ll note is that the ride is a lot quieter, and who would ever complain about that? As electric infrastructure pops up across America, you’ll want to take advantage and be one of the early adopters of an electric pickup truck by getting your hands on the gorgeous F-150 Lightning.

If you’re hoping to enjoy some savings by shopping used, the great news is that the Ford F-150 is known for its longevity. You can still get tremendous value from a used or Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) F-150, and we carry an extensive selection of pre-owned models at our dealership. Our online search tool comes in handy when shopping for a used truck, as you can select the features that matter to you, such as mileage or model year.
We also understand that some drivers want assurances with a used vehicle, which is why we created our own Newton Certified Pre-Owned program. When you shop for one of our Newton CPO vehicles, you can enjoy the savings that come with shopping used and the confidence that traditionally only comes with buying new. Our Newton CPO program includes a 170-point inspection during which our technicians will check everything inside the vehicle, under the hood, and beyond.
Each vehicle component will be closely examined, from the airbags to the steering to the engine. Our technicians will handle anything that needs repairs and replace parts when necessary. We give all buyers a full report on what was taken care of during the inspection. For further peace of mind, our Newton CPO program includes a seven-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, with the option to purchase an extended protection plan. This lets drivers feel confident that we’ll have them covered if something comes up with their vehicle after they leave the lot.
A: When you go to finance your new F-150, you’ll want to decide if you plan to lease your vehicle or purchase it with a loan (you can also buy it outright, avoiding both options). With a lease, you do not own the truck you are driving. Instead, you make a down payment and then pay a monthly fee until the lease is up (usually in two to three years). When the lease is up, you can return the truck or buy out the lease by paying what remains of the original sticker price. With a loan, you borrow the amount of money you need from a lender and pay the lender back over an agreed-upon timeline (usually five or more years) with interest.
A: This depends entirely upon your circumstances. If you are someone who prefers to drive a newer vehicle consistently, then a lease might be the right option. If, on the other hand, you want to have your F-150 for the long haul, then a loan might be the way to go. You might also find yourself influenced by how much you’re required to put down for the down payment ahead of time. This will vary depending on the terms of the financing agreement.
A: Yes. With a lease, you usually have an agreed-upon mileage that you cannot go above for the duration of the lease agreement. You also have to make sure there is not too much wear and tear on the leased vehicle, so if you plan to do some intense driving, a lease might not be the way to go.
A: Interest rates are set by the lender. Your interest rate is affected by various factors ranging from your credit history to the general condition of the economy. The higher the interest rate, the more you’ll have to pay back beyond the initial amount of the loan. For instance, if you took out $10,000 with a 5% interest rate over a 60-month term, you’d pay back $11,323. If the interest rate in this example increased to 10%, you would pay back $12,748. The longer your loan lasts, the more you’ll pay back, as the lender sees this as taking more risk.
A: A down payment is the amount of money you hand over the day you take home your vehicle. The general advice is that the bigger the down payment, the better you’ll be in the long run, as you won’t have to take out as large a loan or pay as much each month with a lease. However, everyone's circumstances are different, and you must consider what’s best for your current economic situation. Some people prefer to put down only a little and then pay a higher amount each month, especially with a lease, where monthly costs tend to be lower to begin with.
A: No. The state of Tennessee mandates that all drivers carry liability insurance for their vehicles. Whether you take out a lease or loan, the lender will also usually require that you have full-coverage insurance so their investment is protected.
A: Yes, you can. It depends on the dealership’s rules and the lender’s expectations, but you can usually negotiate the price to own a vehicle or the monthly rate to lease an F-150. You can also negotiate lease terms such as duration and mileage limits to create a lease that works for you.
A: You can customize your F-150 if you take out a loan as it’s still yours: you own it. With a lease, since you do not own it, you usually cannot customize it much, although this can vary depending on the desired customizations.
A: No! We have a wonderful finance department right here. It’s filled with financing experts who work hard to get you the best loan possible based on your credit rating and current financial situation. We aim to make this process as easy as it can possibly be and try to get you set up ASAP. When you work with our financing process, you’re in good hands.
