Ranking The Best Ford Pickup Trucks Ever Built

Are you looking for a small pickup to have some fun with? Maybe a well-rounded full-size pickup is a way to go, or perhaps you need a rugged heavy-duty pickup truck that was built for the job.

Ford has given us some durable and capable trucks over the years. But sometimes they surprise us with truly exceptional trucks.

Like in most car communities, there's a lot of fighting among truck enthusiasts as to which manufacturer is the best. Some say it's Dodge or Chevy, while others debate on whether American trucks are worth the money. Through all of this, however, there still stands a company which, constantly, receives praise from a lot of the trucking community: Ford pickups.

Ford began the automotive age, along with the bedded pickup trucks that'd follow. Since the early twentieth century, Ford has made outstanding trucks after outstanding trucks, culminating in what we have today. In honor of Ford's accomplishments and their high-quality off-roaders

No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it all at Texas Carz with the Ford truck at Carrollton. Read on to find out which Ford truck is right for you.

2009 Ford F-150 Platinum

In 2009, Ford decided to begin the "Platinum" series for their F-150, and beyond, models. The idea is to have a capable work vehicle and off-roader that still feels luxurious and high-quality. Almost everyone loved the idea, as evidenced by the Platinum-series still going on to this day.

 

Ford F-150

The Ford F-150 is the best-selling pickup truck in America, and it beats out the competition time and time again. With a starting MSRP of $27,380, the F-150 is perfect for those who need a pickup that’s a jack of all trades. For everyday jobs, this full-size pickup has more than enough power, including:

• Best-in-class max towing capacity of 13,200 pounds
• Best-in-class payload of 3,270 pounds
• Best-in-class torque of 470 lb-ft
• Made with high-strength, military-grade aluminum

2005 Ford F-650 Super Duty

The Ford F-650 is the sort of truck that you'd get if you were (A) as big as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, (B) needed to pull an entire house, (C) love huge vehicles, or (D) all the above. Whatever the task is, the '05 F-650 Super Duty will get the job done and take up an entire lane in the process.

Ford Super Duty®

Available in F-250, F-350, and F-450 formats, the Ford Super Duty® trucks are all super-duty pickups capable of tackling serious levels of work. Starting at $32,535 MSRP, the Super Duty® offers:

2018 Hennessey Velociraptor

Yah, sure, the regular Ford Raptor is cool, but what about one with six wheels? Well, apparently that's what the tuning company Hennessey imagined in their ideal version of the Ford Raptor; titled the Velociraptor. You may mock it for being a copy of the Mercedes G65 6x6, but it's way crazier than just that!

Ford Lightning

In the number one spot sits a truck that revolutionized the industry: the original Ford Lightning. The Ford Lightning is, arguably, the truck in which racers realize that trucks weren't just good dragsters, but full of potential too. Without the Lightning, we'd probably not have the truck/pickup competition series' that we are present now.

Which Will You Choose?

If you’re still unsure of which pickup is perfect for you, keep these points in mind:

• The Ford F-150 is the ideal model for those who need a pickup that can handle everyday jobs, including basic hauling needs, like towing your boat to your favorite fishing spot, a small trailer full of your gear, or for basic trips to and from the store.

• Take home a Super Duty® model if you’re in need of a pickup that can handle tough hauling, towing, and loading tasks. Perfect for the worker who’s transporting large pieces of equipment, or even a heavy-duty camper.
