Three Stand-Out Features In A Used 2016-2017 Ford F-150

A Truck That Suits Up AND Shows Up

When you’ve got a big workload, you need a truck that does more than get by on its looks. Big badges and slick decals look great, but you want your pickup to live up to the hype. Ford F-150 trucks have been tested on the job site and off the beaten path. These trucks work hard so you can maximize your time—and your profit. Get even more for your money by buying a used 2016 or 2017 F-150. In addition to the stand-out features of the F-150 described below, you get the benefit of owning a newer truck that maintains its value over buying brand-new.

Toughness That Doesn’t Take A Day Off

Ford began using military-grade aluminum alloy on the F-150 several years ago, which gave the trucks a substantial reduction in weight and a corresponding uptick in fuel economy. But don’t think that reducing the F-150’s curb weight means you’re stuck with a lightweight truck. The alloy formula not only carries its weight—and your payload—but it resists corrosion and flat out refuses to rust. You can carry up to 3,270 pounds in the bed of the Ford without breaking a sweat with the 5.0L V-8 engine. If you opt for the 3.5L EcoBoost engine, you can still drop 3,220 pounds in the bed and tow up to 12,200 pounds while getting an EPA-estimated 21 MPG city/highway combined. Whether you’re bringing in heavy equipment or hauling away a ton of debris, the Ford F-150 is durable enough to handle the work. While you want a pickup that works as hard as you do, you don’t want one that clocks out on Friday afternoon. Whether your weekend takes you to the lake or the trails, the F-150 can haul and tow everything you need for recreation and rest when the work-week is done.

Unlimited Versatility

You may have grown up playing Tetris®, but that doesn’t mean you want to solve a puzzle every time you have stuff to load in the bed. With BoxLink, Ford unlocks a bunch of ways to customize your cargo space. When you have paint cans or other smaller containers or items that you don’t want to transport inside the cab, BoxLink’s interface plates allow you to add a bed divider so you can customize your cargo space in the bed. The interface plates also give you the option to use E-Track straps or S hooks to secure your cargo. Ford’s stowable ramps are a great way to get ATVs or other heavy equipment into the bed when you don’t have a lot of people around to do the heavy lifting. BoxLink helps you easily secure the ramps to the bed. Because you don’t get paid overtime for drawing diagrams to help you remember the best way to secure your stuff and you’d rather spend your fun time on the trails, not re-arranging your stuff to fit a rigid system.

Lowest Cost To Own

Ford gets it: you’ve got other things you want to spend your money on. When it comes to overall safety and maintenance costs, Kelley Blue Book gave the Ford F-150 top marks for being the Lowest 5-Year Cost to Own truck in its class. And when you buy used, you can get even more premium features for your money.

We all remember the days when buying used felt like rolling the dice: you might get a peach, or you might get a lemon. Knowing the vehicle’s history was next to impossible unless you found that rare-gem that had only one owner who kept meticulous records. Today you can buy a Ford Certified Pre-Owned and know that your used F-150 has undergone a rigorous 172-point inspection and comes with comprehensive and powertrain warranties. You don’t have to worry about a murky history, either, since Ford will not certify a pre-owned vehicle without running a CARFAX report that you can review at the dealer.
