What to Weigh Before Buying

Start by matching the trim’s drivetrain, fuel type and engine to the work the truck will handle. XL and XLT use a 2.3 L inline-four with rear-wheel drive, 21 city / 26 highway MPG and 7,500 lbs of maximum towing. Lariat adds four-wheel drive while keeping the 2.3 L inline-four, and Raptor uses a 3.0 L V6 with four-wheel drive, premium unleaded fuel recommended, 16 city / 18 highway MPG and 5,510 lbs of maximum towing.

Consider how often passengers will use the five-seat Crew Cab, how much towing capacity is appropriate, and whether regular or premium unleaded fuel better fits the intended configuration. A trade-in valuation and financing application can help frame the purchase before a dealership visit.
