2017 F-150: High-Tech Transmission

Let's find out a little more about this innovative 10-speed transmission. It employs wide-span gear spacing and a friction-reducing design to optimize performance, acceleration, and efficiency. Furthermore, it's constructed with advanced, light-weight alloys. For this automatic transmission, less weight means a smoother shift, but without sacrificing the F-150's incredible towing and hauling abilities.

Towing and Hauling with the 2017 Ford F-150

On paper, impressive engine specifications and detailed transmission descriptions don't really mean anything. What's important is how they translate to real-life capabilities. The 2017 Ford F-150 passes this test with its towing and payload capacities.

With the 3.5-Liter EcoBoost® V6 engine under the hood, the F-150 can tow up to 12,200 pounds. Coupled with a best-in-class maximum payload* of up to 3,270 pounds, this is a truck that will help you get the job done, even if the job is enormous.

Durable Construction

Best of all, the Ford F-150 will stay with you and help you to get the job done for years to come-that's because it's built to last.

Its military-grade, aluminum-alloy body is engineered with the same materials that are typically used in the aerospace industry and the energy sector. Furthermore, its eight-crossmember frame is designed with 78% high-strength steel for a more rigid yet lighter base. In fact, the entire frame is almost 60 pounds lighter.**
