What's New for 2019?

Though always considered one of the top truck options on the market, the new 2019 Ford F-150 welcomes several key upgrades without going through the full-on redesign that occurs every so often. The major new addition to the 2019 F-150 lineup is the 3.0-liter diesel V-6, which gives you a unique driving experience and more efficiency. The available 3.5-liter V-6 engine that's found in the Limited and Raptor trim levels have been tweaked to deliver more power, and a new 36-gallon fuel tank is standard on those trims, keeping you on the road longer between visits to the fuel pumps. Finally, a forward-collision warning with emergency braking system is now standard in every F-150 model, helping to keep you out of harm's way while hauling, towing or simply driving around Hickory or Mountain City.
