What's New
The 2022 Ford F-150 truck gains technology that debuted with the F-150 Lightning such as Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch, and newly offers continuously-controlled damping and a Black Appearance Package, and expands the availability of the Bed Utility Package. The six-cylinder diesel engine is no longer offered. The F-150 Raptor gains a high-performance Raptor R with a supercharged V8 that competes with the Ram 1500 TRX.
Choosing Your Ford F-150
The 2022 F-150 pickup is available in eight trims (in order of pricing): the XL, XLT, Lariat, Tremor, King Ranch, Raptor, and Platinum. Base prices range from $30,985 to 78,175.
Engine Choices
The 2022 F-150 XL and XLT trims feature a 3.3-liter V6 that develops 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. There are several optional engines.
A 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 ($1,195, standard on Lariat) generates 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, a 5.0-liter V8 ($1,995, standard on King Ranch) puts out 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 ($2,595, standard on Tremor and Limited) is rated at 400 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque, and a hybrid version ($4,495) that pairs the turbocharged V6 with a 35-kW motor and 1.5-kWh battery pack to create 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque.
All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic and route power to the rear wheels or through a part-time four-wheel-drive system for $3,510-$4,680 depending on trim.
The 2022 F-150 Raptor is equipped with a high-output version of the 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 that creates 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, a torque-on-demand four-wheel-drive system, and an electronic-locking rear differential.
Fuel economy ranges from an EPA-estimated 20 miles per gallon combined with the 5.0-liter V8 and 3.5-liter V6, to 21 mpg combined with the 3.3-liter V6, and 22 combined with the smaller turbocharged V6. The Hybrid earns 25 mpg and will save about $500 annually versus the standard turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 while the Raptor has a lessened priority on fuel economy and earns 15 mpg.
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The 2022 F-150 offers three cabin styles and passenger count ranges from three to six on the XL, XLT, and Lariat, or five in the more premium trims.
All trims are available with a crew cab while the XL, XLT, and Lariat can be had with an extended cab, and the XL and XLT are the only trims that offer a standard cab. The standard and extended cabs can be paired with a 6.5-foot or eight-foot bed and the crew cabs can be had with a 5.5-foot or 6.5-foot long bed. The Raptor is offered only in a crew cab and 5.5-foot bed configuration.
The F-150’s length ranges from 209 inches with the standard cab to 250 inches with the extended cab and the long bed. The popular crew cab and short bed configuration is 231 inches long. The F-150 is about 84 inches wide (or 96 inches on the Raptor) and 77 inches tall (or 79 inches on the Tremor and nearly 81 inches on the Raptor).
Payload capacity for the two smaller engines is about 2,000 pounds and, with the more powerful engines, that figure jumps to over 3,000 pounds. Those maximum ratings are reduced by 300-400 pounds when fitted with a crew cab and the Hybrid is capable of hauling 2,000 pounds.
The F-150 can tow up to 14,000 pounds when fitted with the 3.5-liter V6 or 12,400 pounds with the Hybrid.
