Powertrain - 2019 Ford F-150 dealer

The 2019 F-150 and Silverado both offer several engine options that are powerful and efficient. The base engine on the F-150 is a 290 horsepower V6 engine and the base engine on the Silverado is a 285 horsepower V6 engine, with a rear-wheel drive powertrain being standard for both models. However, the 2019 F-150 offers more available engine options, including a turbo diesel V6 engine that creates 250 horsepower, a turbocharged V6 engine that creates 375 horsepower, and a turbocharged V6 engine that maxes out at 450 horsepower. Combine these turbocharged engine options with the proper trim level on the F-150 and the result is the best-in-class towing capacity capable of hauling up to 3,300 pounds and towing up to 13,200 pounds. The F-150 and Silverado models are both extremely capable models that drive well regardless of which engine you choose, but the 2019 F-150 is considerably stronger, and ready to work.
