2024 Ford F-150 Pro Access Tailgate in Springfield, PA

2024 Ford F-150 Pro Access Tailgate

One of the reasons the Ford F-150 is the best selling-pickup in the world is Ford's consistent strength in terms of innovation. A good example is Ford's versatile new Pro Access Tailgate feature that's been introduced as an optional upgrade for the 2024 model year. This remarkable design allows you an easier way to get access to cargo in the bed when a trailer is attached by opening just a small part of the tailgate using a hinge mounted on the side. Here are some of the other reasons to take a closer look at the new 2024 Ford F-150 at Springfield Ford in Springfield, PA.

What's new for 2024?

In addition to introducing the new Pro Access Tailgate, the F-150 now comes with enhanced exterior styling that includes new wheel designs, exterior lighting elements and restyled grilles. The gasoline-powered V6 engine has been replaced by a newly standard 2.7-liter turbo V6 that was formerly an optional upgrade. Other powertrain options now include a 3.5-liter turbo V6, a 5.0-liter V8 and a hybrid V6. For the first time, Ford has made the 12.0-inch infotainment display standard across the lineup. The company has also developed a new system that can help locate your truck if it ever gets stolen, another example of Ford innovation.

Engines and performance

Once again, Ford has a sizable menu of engine choices that begin with a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 that generates 325 horsepower. That's followed by a 5.0-liter V8 and a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, both with 400 horsepower. The hybrid option consists of a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 and an electric motor, creating a total of 430 horsepower. FThe hybrid can give you up to 700 miles of driving range on a full tank of gas. In addition, the hybrid model can give you an onboard generator that can keep the power coming at your job site or in the event of a power outage at home.

You'll have your choice of either rear- or all-wheel drive with any of the available powertrains the F-150 offers. The Tremor model gives you the highest level of off-road capability with an upgraded suspension, 33-inch all-terrain tires, a locking rear differential and a four-wheel drive transfer case. In terms of acceleration, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the Tremor model can take you to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds.

Towing and payload capacity

The 2024 Ford F-150 has a maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds with the optional 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. If you go with the proven 5.0-liter V8 engine the towing capacity is still strong at 13,000 pounds. The hybrid has a towing capacity of up to 12,700 pounds and the maximum payload is 2455 pounds.

Interior highlights

In higher trim levels, interior amenities in the new F-150 approach those at the top of the class. The cabin has a generous amount of storage cubbies and a 10-speed automatic shift lever that can be folded down into the center console to give you a big flat workspace. Another valuable innovation is a set of fold-flat front seats that create a place to sleep. There's plenty of passenger space especially in the big four-door Crew Cab body style. Back in the bed, the Pro Access Tailgate can put you up to 19 inches closer to the truck bed, giving you easier access to cargo. There's a swing gate on the driver's side that makes the F-150 the only pickup in its class to provide a 100-degree completely open integrated tailgate.

Technology

Perhaps the most helpful piece of technology is the available onboard generator that gives you up to 7.2 kilowatts of power to supply electricity for your power tools when you're on the job. Ford now has a 12.0-inch infotainment display as a standard feature, operating an upgraded version of SYNC4® software. Other standard features include smartphone connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot and navigation. A Bang & Olufsen premium stereo system is available as an upgrade.
