Ford goes above and beyond to design the F-150 to be a powerhouse that can take on any job, and the 2024 model year won't disappoint. To prove it's the best truck you can buy, here's a look at how the latest F-150 compares to the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado. 2024 Ford F-150 vs. 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2024 Ford F-150 2024 Chevrolet Silverado Starting MSRP $33,835 Starting MSRP $36,800 Base engine 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 Base engine 2.7-liter four-cylinder TurboMax All-terrain tires 37 inches All-terrain tires 33 inches Pro Power Onboard Available Pro Power Onboard Unavailable Interior work surface Available Interior work surface Unavailable Standard transmission 10-speed automatic Standard transmission Eight-speed automatic Hybrid powertrain Available Hybrid powertrain Unavailable Max towing capacity 13,500 pounds Max towing capacity 13,300 pounds Max payload capacity 2,445 pounds Max payload capacity 2,260 pounds Ground clearance 8.3 inches Ground clearance 7.8 inches Interior Features While the F-150 and Silverado provide interior comforts that ensure you enjoy your ride, they have some differences.

In both models, upgrading your trim level offers additional comfort-enhancing features such as heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an improved sound system. You'll have a few cab size options with both trucks, and the maximum seating capacity is six people.

How Many Miles per Gallon Does the 2024 Ford F-150 Get? The 2024 Ford F-150 is one of the most popular new vehicles, and it offers impressive fuel efficiency with a rating of approximately 18 to 24 mpg. This showcases Ford's ability to balance remarkable power with economical fuel consumption. Also, all new gas models now come with a larger 36-gallon tank. This allows you to drive longer distances before filling up, which is convenient for those who spend a lot of time on the go. Trim Levels for the New F-150 The F-150's trim levels include the XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. A key difference is that the Limited has been renamed the Platinum Plus.

The Black Appearance Package is available on the XLT and Lariat for 2024. The revised look of the Platinum trim includes a stylish blacked-out exterior and interior elements for an exciting new appearance. What Factors Affect Ford F-150s Fuel Efficiency? The Ford F-150's trim levels are key in determining their respective miles-per-gallon ratings. Each trim comes with a unique blend of features, diverse engine choices, drivetrains, and sometimes even alterations in weight or aerodynamics, all of which can affect fuel efficiency. Higher-tier trims often come with more robust engines, which elevates the power output. This is excellent for a work truck but can negatively influence fuel economy. You'll need to fill your tank more often if you opt for a larger engine. Additionally, larger wheels, tech enhancements, or specialized towing capabilities in upper trims can influence the vehicle's weight and aerodynamics, directly impacting overall fuel efficiency. On the other hand, lower trims might feature smaller, more fuel-efficient engines, translating to higher miles per gallon. To make an informed choice, evaluate each trim level's distinct features, engine variations, and specifications. This can help you gauge how each factor affects the overall fuel economy you can expect from your vehicle.

When properly equipped, it can tow up to 14,000 pounds and carry a payload of up to 3,325 pounds.

Ford introduced the Mustang Fastback in 1964 as a "pony car." It was compact, affordable, and stylish, with a sporty image. Several factors influenced the development of the Mustang Fastback. First, Ford wanted to create a car that appealed to consumers seeking a sporty and exciting driving experience. The Fastback's sleek design and aerodynamic roofline contributed to its overall sports car aesthetic. Ford aimed to make just 100,000 sales in the first year but sold 418,000 units. This began the long history of resilience, durability, and class the Mustang offers. Second, Ford designed the Mustang to balance performance and affordability. The availability of powerful engines and extra packages made the Fastback a great choice for those seeking a more spirited driving experience. Additionally, there was a growing demand for stylish and performance-oriented cars in the mid-1960s. Ford recognized an opportunity to tap into this market segment by offering a vehicle that combined power and handling with a distinctive and appealing design. Although Ford created the Mustang to compete with other compact cars of the era, it quickly carved out a niche. The Fastback variant helped the Mustang stand out and compete with other sporty models. Earlier Mustang Modifications Ford launched the original Mustang in 1964. It implemented modifications in cars produced after August 1964. By that point, Ford had already sold 120,000 Mustangs. Enthusiasts often refer to the early Mustangs as "1964½" models. They nicknamed modified Mustangs produced and sold after August as the "late" 1965s. The Mustang was first available as a convertible and a notchback. Later in the same year, Ford introduced the Fastback variant. It offered many customization options, as individuals could tailor their Mustangs for daily use. In 1971, the Ford Mustang underwent significant changes. It grew in size and weight. By 1973, the coupe's weight had increased to around 3,600 pounds. Emissions regulations tightened, and interest in muscle cars waned. In response to criticisms of its increasing size, Ford introduced the Mustang II in 1974. The subcompact model featured a four-cylinder or V-6 engine. The Mustang II was well received, especially during the 1973-1974 oil embargo. Ford made enormous sales, up to 386,000 units in one year. Over time, oil availability increased, and Americans returned to larger cars after overcoming this scarcity. Ford introduced the 302 V-8 engine for the Mustang II, and the sales remained steady, but there was growing demand for smaller cars. Ford returned to the original Mustang in the following years. What Next for the Mustang Brand? Mustang's main competitor, Chevy, is stopping production of the Camaro, and Dodge is retiring the current Challenger. This means that the Fastback Ford Mustang has complete control over the market. However, this might also mean a signal for changing times. Ford has a reputation for sticking with any model that sells well. If the numbers slow down, major adjustments might be necessary. Given the love for this pony car, we can only see a future with more Mustangs. Are You Looking for a Mustang? The Mustang is an American classic that continues to impress with style and performance. Although the look and overall feel have changed since Ford unveiled the Mustang over fifty years ago, it is still the king of pony rides. At Brewster Ford, we'll help you get a Ford Mustang within your budget by visiting our finance department. For the 2024 Mustang Fastback, you have plenty of options. We'll help you find an option that suits your needs perfectly. Photo Credit: Black Ford Mustang by Vitali Adutskevich is licensed with Pexels License

Healthy tires are critical to your Ford's performance and drive quality. Properly balanced and inflated tires provide optimal traction, which promotes responsive handling. Well-maintained tires enhance steering precision and fuel efficiency, improving the driving experience. Investing in Ford Protect TireCARE Plus is a smart way to protect your car's tires and wheels from everyday road hazards such as potholes and debris. Thanks to this service plan, you can avoid expensive tire repairs and enjoy a more confident driving experience in Brewster, New York. Read as our Brewster Ford team shares everything you need about Ford Protect TireCARE Plus. What Is Ford Protect TireCARE Plus? Ford Protect TireCARE Plus is a comprehensive protection plan that covers the costs of repairing or replacing tires that become damaged because of common road hazards, such as potholes, nails, debris, glass, and metal. TireCARE Plus isn't insurance. Ford offers it as an additional warranty, providing coverage for components the New Vehicle Limited Warranty doesn't include. What Does the Ford Protect TireCARE Plus Warranty Include? Ford's TireCARE Plus service plan covers the approved costs of repairing or replacing structurally damaged tires, including labor costs, balancing fees, and taxes. The warranty also provides towing to the nearest Ford or Lincoln dealership or service station. This warranty makes you eligible for up to $100 in reimbursements, including spare tire installation. You also qualify for rental benefits coverage of $35 per day for up to two days. TireCARE Plus features an optional off-road protection plan for approved repairs for damage from driving in off-road conditions. What Does Ford Protect TireCARE Plus Not Cover? While the Ford Protect TireCARE Plus warranty offers significant protection for your vehicle's tires, it has a few limitations. It doesn't cover tires with tread depths less than 3/32" at their lowest point or pay for damage from poor road conditions at construction sites or tire failures from normal wear and tear after prolonged use. TireCARE Plus doesn't cover tire repair costs if you drive with under-inflated wheels. This service plan also excludes damage from vandalism and theft. It's worth noting that the TireCARE Plus warranty only covers authorized tire repairs and replacements. What Benefits Does the TireCARE Plus Warranty Offer? Purchasing the TireCARE Plus service plan provides numerous benefits. First, the warranty remains valid throughout the agreement. There's no limit to the number of times you can claim benefits or the occurrences you can claim for. TireCARE Plus also has no mileage limitations and covers up to eight years. Another advantage of TireCARE Plus is its cosmetic coverage if your Ford has alloy, aluminum, or steel wheels. Depending on the level of cosmetic damage, the warranty may cover the cost of repairs to restore their appearance. The plan may allow you to replace the tires if the damage is beyond repair. If you need to replace a tire, TireCARE Plus covers the cost of replacing it with a new one of the same type and quality. Keeping your Ford's tires matched promotes a smoother drive quality and a better overall driving experience. What Other Service Packages Does Ford Protect Offer? TireCARE Plus is one of several service plans in Ford Protect that you may want to consider to stay on top of your Ford's care and maintenance. While TireCARE Plus specifically covers tires and wheels, Ford Protect's other packages include other car components, such as the windshield, body, or interior. DentCARE As the name implies, Ford Protect DentCARE is a protection plan covering the repair of dents and dings on the body panels of covered vehicles. It offers up to eight years of coverage for new and used Fords. DentCARE only covers repairs for dents and dings no larger than 4 inches and is exclusive to vehicles with metal body panels. It doesn't cover plastic, fiberglass, and non-metal composite body panels. WindshieldCARE Ford Protect's WindshieldCARE plan is a unique warranty covering the repair costs of minor cracks in the front windshield. It covers cracks no larger than 6 inches. Like other Ford Protect service plans, WindshieldCARE offers up to eight years of coverage, and there's no limit on the number of claims you can make. If you drive an electric vehicle (EV), Ford Protect also offers a WindshieldCARE Plus EV plan. SurfaceCARE If you've just bought a new Ford and want to keep its interior and exterior squeaky clean, consider getting the Ford Protect SurfaceCARE plan. This plan covers damage to your car's interior and exterior from environmental factors such as acid rain, industrial wastes, oxidation, and bird droppings. It also offers protection from human-caused damage, such as accidental paint overspray, food and drink stains, and hand sanitizer stains. The SurfaceCARE warranty provides comprehensive coverage for between two and seven years and comes with no claim limits. TheftCARE Getting Ford Protect's TheftCARE warranty is an excellent way to insure your car against theft. This service plan provides special labels to alert thieves that your Ford has anti-theft technology, deterring them from stealing your car. If someone steals your car, this coverage entitles you to a reimbursement of up to $5,000. You can use this money to replace your vehicle or cover other expenses. Extend the Life of Your Vehicle's Tires With Ford Protect TireCARE Plus As a Ford owner, you want to ensure your car's tires are always in peak condition, as they affect your safety and overall experience on the road. With Ford Protect TireCARE Plus, you never have to worry about spending vast sums on unexpected repairs and replacements.

Routine service is an essential investment for any vehicle. While your Ford is built to provide outstanding performance for hundreds of thousands of miles, it does need proper care and attention to deliver the optimum driving experience. Ford's The Works service special is a common offering at most dealerships. Taking advantage of this and other service coupons is the best way to keep your vehicle on the road. Don't wait until you're faced with a repair and potential downtime. Give your vehicle The Works now. more Auto Service Search New Inventory Call Us Today! Stay Ahead of Auto Maintenance With The Works The Works is a popular Ford service special you can routinely find at local dealerships such as Brewster Ford in Brewster, New York. The Works provides essential vehicle care and maintenance in one convenient, money-saving package. With The Works, you'll get everything you need to keep your car in prime condition. If you're unsure where to start with car care, this is the perfect all-in-one option. What's Included in The Works The Works is a comprehensive maintenance package that includes everything you need to keep your car in great shape. You'll enjoy eight essential services all in one visit. Oil Change The Works includes a professional oil change with up to 6 quarts of Motorcraft oil and a new Motorcraft oil filter. If you have an older car, you should have your oil changed every 3,000 miles. With a newer vehicle, you may be able to extend these intervals. Some cars can go 5,000, 7,500, or even 10,000 miles between oil changes. Contact our service team to learn more about the specific recommendations for your vehicle. When you come in for The Works, one of our service technicians will recommend the best motor oil for your vehicle. A synthetic blend or full synthetic motor oil is best for performance. If you have a high-performance vehicle, you want to fuel it properly to deliver optimal efficiency, speed, and horsepower. If you're looking for the most affordable approach to your oil change and high performance isn't a factor, conventional motor oil may serve you well. If your vehicle has more than 75,000 miles on it, a high-mileage motor oil is best. Tire Rotation and Pressure Check Regularly rotating your tires will extend their life. When you change the position of the tires regularly, it helps the tread wear evenly. Maintaining proper tread on your tires is essential for good traction and adequate stopping time on the road. Our technicians will also check your tire pressure and air the tires as needed for optimal performance and fuel efficiency. In general, you should have your tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. Brake Inspection Our thorough brake inspection includes the brake pads, shoes, rotors, hoses, motors, assemblies, and pedal. We'll also check your brake fluid to ensure it's at the proper level. This inspection helps us determine whether there are any pending problems with your brakes so we can address these as soon as possible and keep you safe on the road. Fluid Top-Off Your vehicle needs several essential fluids to keep at proper levels. As part of The Works, we check on these fluids and top them off as needed. Some fluids we look at include the power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Filter Check The air filter removes pollutants, so your engine gets an ample supply of clean air. Over time, the filter will accumulate dust and dirt, diminishing its efficiency and effectiveness. When we give your car The Works, we'll inspect the air filter to see if it needs to be changed. Belts and Hoses Check Your vehicle has several belts and hoses that are essential to safe operation. Serpentine belts operate the power steering pump, alternator, air conditioning compressor, and water pump. Heater and coolant hoses help keep your engine cool so it doesn't overheat and stop functioning. We'll check all these components and recommend replacements as necessary. Battery Test Your car battery will typically last for three to four years. If your battery is dead, you can't operate your vehicle, so it's important to keep an eye on its performance. We'll test your battery and let you know if you should start thinking about a replacement. Vehicle Inspection A full vehicle check-up is included with The Works. This inspection covers any areas of the car that we haven't addressed in the steps above and ensures that you can drive away with full confidence in the state of your vehicle. How The Works Helps You Save Investing in regular maintenance now can help you save money in the future. A vehicle that's properly maintained will last longer, so you won't have to shop for a new vehicle as soon. When you're ready to upgrade, a well-maintained vehicle will have a greater value as a trade-in for your next car. Proper maintenance can also save you from future repair costs.

If you're in the market for a cutting-edge full-size pickup truck, the Ford F-150 is an obvious contender. The F-series has continuously held its spot as the best-selling truck in America for 46 years. The 2024 Ford F-150 is poised to maintain this trend with powerful features and enticing technology, including a best-in-class towing capacity of 13,500 pounds. Though this slightly drops from the 14,000-pound maximum towing capacity 2023 F-150, it can still support most personal and professional needs. more Value Your Trade-In Search New Vehicles Call Us Today! Maximum Towing Capacity of the Ford F-150 You have several engines, accessories, and vehicle configurations in the 2024 Ford F-150, significantly impacting your towing capacity. To achieve the maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds, you need the F-150 SuperCrew 6.5-foot box four-by-four with the available 3.5-liter V-6 engine. If you take the hybrid route, you'll have a maximum towing capacity of 12,700 pounds. Check the label on the doorjamb for the specific towing capacity of a particular truck. To maximize your Ford F-150 tow capacity, you must configure your truck properly. Higher horsepower and torque generally equate to a greater towing capacity, though Ford hasn't yet published the specific towing capacity for each configuration of the highly anticipated 2024 F-150. Ford F-150 Hauling Capabilities The Ford F-150's payload capacity tops out at 2,455 pounds. The exact amount of cargo you can haul varies with trim level and other specs, as the more gear you have on your truck, the less capacity you'll have for other items. If you've explored the F-150 in previous years, you may be surprised at this seemingly low number. For greater hauling capabilities, consider the 2023 Ford F-150, with a hauling capacity of 3,315 pounds. 2024 Ford F-150 Engines The 2024 Ford F-150 XL, STX, and XLT standardizes a 2.7-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine. This twin-turbocharged motor delivers 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. The Tremor and LARIAT come standard with a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that produces 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. This engine is also available on the XL, XLT, and STX. However, neither of these engines is available with the Tow/Haul Package. The King Ranch and Platinum come standard with a 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost and 10-speed transmission. This gives you 400 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. This engine is also available on the XL, XLT, Tremor, and LARIAT. The F-150 is also available as a hybrid truck with a 3.5-liter PowerBoost Full Hybrid V-6 engine paired with a hybrid electronic 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque. The Ford F-150 Raptor comes standard with a 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost High Output engine. This 24-valve twin-turbo port-fuel and direct-injection system gives you an impressive 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. This engine is exclusive to the Raptor. Every 2024 Ford F-150 comes standard with a rearview camera and pro trailer hitch assist to enhance your towing experience. This gives you a clear view of what's behind you so you can reverse confidently, even in tight spaces. Introducing the Pro-Access Tailgate The 2024 Ford F-150 boasts several updates, but one of the most intriguing is the Pro-Access Tailgate. This new feature is ideal for towing sizable trailers that may get in the way of the traditional tailgate. The middle 36 inches of the Pro-Access Tailgate swing out to the right. The hinge features detents at 37, 70, and 100 degrees, so you can open the tailgate as much or as little as you need. The 37-degree position is ideal with a trailer, as it gives you access to the truck bed without dinging your trailer. The Ford F-150 Tow/Haul Package The Tow/Haul Package is standard on the King Ranch and Platinum, as well as the Tremor when equipped with the Tremor High equipment group. With the 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine, the Tow/Haul Package is also standard on the XL, XLT, and LARIAT. Add the Tow/Haul Package to the STX with the 5.0-liter V-8 engine. This package provides trailer brake control and an upgraded rear bumper. On the XL and XLT, the Tow/Haul Package provides a 3.55 electronic-locking rear axle. On the STX, you'll get a 3.73 electronic-locking rear axle. The LARIAT, King Ranch, and Platinum feature a smart hitch and onboard scales with the Tow/Haul Package. This package doesn't include an axle or rear bumper upgrade for the Platinum Plus and Tremor. The Max Trailer Tow Package previously offered on the 2023 F-150 isn't an option for the 2024 model. The Ford F-150 Tow Capacity Over the Years The Ford F-150 has maintained an impressive towing capacity over the years. The 2019 F-150 has a maximum towing capacity of 13,200 pounds when equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V-6. The 2020 Ford F-150 maxes out at a towing capacity of 11,500 pounds with either the 5.0-liter Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing V-8 or the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6. The 2021, 2022, and 2023 Ford F-150s dramatically increased their towing capacity to 14,000 pounds with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. This means you can get a greater towing capacity with a used F-150 truck than the 2024 model. F-150 Towing Capacity vs. Ford Super Duty Trucks If you feel you can't get the towing capacity you're after with the 2024 F-150 model, consider exploring Ford's Super Duty lineup. The 2024 Super Duty 6.7L High Output Stroke Turbo Diesel has a conventional tow rating of 40,000 pounds, making it the best in its class. This is a powerful pick when you need a professional-grade towing capacity.

Ford has always been a leader in the automotive industry. It's the best-selling brand for six straight months in 2023, and it'll likely continue its forward momentum with the rollout of the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. This high-performance midsize truck is poised to take the North American market by storm with its robust off-road performance and rugged styling when it arrives before the end of this year. Let's look at what we can expect from this highly anticipated vehicle. Value Your Trade-In Search New Vehicles Search Used Vehicles Overview of the Ford Ranger Raptor A complete redesign marks the fifth generation of the Ford Ranger. The new model's exterior is bolder and more aggressive, taking inspiration from the popular Ford F-150, and it features a longer wheelbase. The cabin also received an update, with a vertically oriented touchscreen being the most noticeable. These and other significant changes are present in the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor, which is expected to be available in late summer with an MSRP of $55,365. The Ranger Raptor's higher price tag isn't surprising, especially in comparison to the rest of the Ranger lineup. It has a more powerful engine and a sturdier suspension suited to off-road driving. If you're interested in this midsize truck, our finance department can help you look into your options and find a payment plan that works for you. Exterior For 2024, Ford is offering the Ranger in just one body style. This means that the Raptor — and other 2024 Ranger trims — will only be available in SuperCrew or four-door configuration with a 5-foot bed. The Ranger Raptor stands out thanks to its unique features. These include larger 33-inch all-terrain tires, a bold front grille with “FORD” lettering, Raptor-exclusive LED taillights, dual exhaust outlets, and flared fenders — all of which give the truck a more muscular appearance. It also has a higher ground clearance of 10.7 compared to the other trims, which are 8.8 and 9.3 inches. These are the exterior color options for the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor: Shadow Black. Oxford White. Iconic Silver Metallic. Shelter Green Metallic. Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. Carbonized Gray Metallic. Velocity Blue Metallic. Cactus Gray. Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat. Interiors The interior of the five-seater Ranger Raptor is similar to the other trims, with a few touches that set it apart. The most notable among these are the orange accents on the seats, dashboard, and steering wheel. Its key standard features include: Leather upholstery. Heated and power-adjustable bucket front seats. Heated and leather-wrapped manual tilt and telescopic steering wheel. Ambient lighting. Fade-to-off interior lights. Dual-zone automatic climate control. Intelligent Access with push-button start. Universal garage door opener. 120-volt power outlet. To get a better feel for the interior of the Ford Ranger, visit our dealership in Brewster, New York. We have a wide selection of new vehicles, including the Ranger, that you can explore in person. Power and Performance A 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged, powers the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor EcoBoost V-6 engine that's mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and capable of producing 405 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It's more powerful than the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that's standard in the other trims. It also bests the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 that delivers 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, which is available on the XLT and Lariat. The Ranger Raptor is a full-time four-wheel-drive truck designed to take on the roughest terrain with its upgraded suspension system. The use of aluminum for the front suspension's control arms reduces unsprung weight and improves handling, while the Watts link rear suspension aids in the vehicle's stability. FOX Live Valve shocks provide continuous damping adjustment based on the terrain and the drive mode selected for a smooth off-road driving experience. Payload and Towing Capabilities The 2024 Ranger Raptor has a lower payload capacity than the other vehicles in the lineup. It can carry a maximum of 1,411 pounds, while the XL, XLT, and Lariat have payload capacities of 1,805, 1,711, and 1,542 pounds, respectively. The Raptor's towing capability also falls behind, with a maximum of 5,510 pounds. In contrast, the other Ranger trims have a maximum towing capability of 7,500 pounds. Infotainment and Connectivity The 2024 Ranger comes standard with Ford's SYNC 4A infotainment system, FordPass Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot, 911 Assist, and AppLink. There are also USB ports for charging and connecting devices. These are the features you can expect to find or that are optional for the Ranger Raptor: 12.4-inch center display. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. 12.4-inch instrument cluster display. SiriusXM satellite radio. 10-speaker sound system with subwoofer from Bang & Olufsen. Wireless charging. Voice-activated navigation with SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link. The technology in the upcoming Ranger Raptor is truly impressive. Contact our team to learn more about the features integrated into this midsize truck, such as FordPass Connect and SYNC, so you can see if the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor is the right pick for you.

These include the following features: Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert and trailer coverage. Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking. Lane-keeping system. Adaptive cruise control. Rearview camera. Active Park Assist 2.0. Automatic high beams.
