Pickup trucks are one of the fastest-evolving vehicle types on the market, having grown from reliable but uncomfortable work companions to all-around vehicles versatile enough for any task. The 2020 Ford F-150 and F-250 are two great examples of modern trucks that are strong enough to get the job done, but safe and comfortable enough to take your family on a road trip. Powerful Available Engines Choosing the right engine for your truck depends on your needs and preferences, but luckily both these trucks have a wide range of engine choices. The 2020 F-150's base engine is a strong 3.3-liter V-6 with up to 290 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. While this should be enough for most drivers, if you're looking for some extra power, Ford has you covered.

The  2020 F-250 only has three engine types, but all of them are monstrously powerful. The base engine is a 6.2-liter V-8 that can produce up to 385 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. The 2020 model introduces a new engine type, a 7.3-liter V-8 with 430 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque.

Automatic start and stop technology comes with the SE model and will save your Edge energy and fuel by turning off the engine when you're stopped in traffic or at a light and then turning it back on the second you're ready to go. This is ideal for city drivers with busy commutes. Interior Comfort When you choose the 2020 Edge Titanium model, you'll be welcomed into a cabin featuring a leather-wrapped steering wheel, perforated leather-trimmed seating, ambient lighting, and interior chrome accents. The standard rotary shift dial provides convenience and a thoroughly updated look to the inside of the Edge. With seating for up to five and plenty of space for cargo in the rear, you can bring everything and everyone you want along for this comfortable ride.

Using your smartphone, you can start your car, lock or unlock the doors, and even find nearby gas and parking. ST Model Want 335 horsepower with your SUV? Sure, no problem.
