Each F-150 engine varies when it comes to towing capacity, but most of them can take from 5,000 lbs up to a whopping 8,500 pounds. So, why is the Ford F-150 so popular? To conclude, it's a strong, reliable, and easy to use truck that has keeps getting better every generation.
Over the past three years, Ford averaged about 900,000 F-150's sold per year. If you divide that by 365, it sells 2,486 F-150 trucks per day, every day. That translates to 103 F-150 pickups per hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

An Electric F-150 Will Cost At Least $55,000The base price of a fuel-powered F-150 starts at $28,940. For its electric counterpart, however, you can expect to part with double that amount.
Surely a pickup truck is expensive and the electric version of the F-150 will be no exception to this rule. We expect a sub $100,000 starting price, but this is simply just a guess at this point in time. We don't expect the F-150 EV to come close to matching the $40,000 base price of the Tesla Cybertruck though.
