- Options – Why Wouldn’t You Want to Build Your Own F150?
One of the best things about Ford pickups is the number of options they boast if you want to build your own F150. If you want to get into the nitty-gritty, there are technically millions of combinations.
Check out a few of the categories Ford F150s let you customize.

Additionally, what color do you want your interior to be? Fords offer a variety of interior colors and fabrics.
Engine
Ford F150 engines come in a variety of engines for you to choose from. Starting at a basic 290 horsepower and ending with the Raptor’s impressive 450 horsepower, the F150’s power will not leave you wanting.
The pickups begin with a 6-speed transmission for the basic engines and a 10-speed transmission for the upgraded engines. All engines are automatic for convenience and ease of use.
Bed Size
Your truck bed may be the most important aspect of your truck depending on your purposes. Ford F150s come with minimum beds at 5.5 feet and options up to a staggering 8 feet!
All beds come with unique features for your convenience such as ramps and tailgate steps.
Cabin Size
Depending on if your Ford F150 is a work-truck or a family vehicle or a bit of both, this pickup’s got your back.
With minimalist cabin sizes for 3 total passengers to extended-cab options with room for 6, you decide how many people you want in your truck when you build your own F150.
- Safety
Few pickups can boast the safety ratings earning by Ford F150s.
The Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives the F150 a 5-star safety rating.
The pickup’s safety features include airbags, disc brakes, ABS, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, daytime running lights, and integrated turn signal mirrors in the basic package.
Advanced packages include a blind-spot information system, and adaptive cruise control, and a pre-collision assist.
- Performance
Ford pickups are known for their performance. When you build your own F150, you get to be in charge of how awesome your truck is.
For off-roading and absolute maximum performance, no truck can outperform the Ford Raptor. It offers several driving modes allowing you to tear up the terrain with ease.
Other F150s come with off-road options such as downhill descent control, a locking rear differential, and customized suspension.
Finally, Ford pickups are first in its class for towing and hauling capacities. Tow over 13,000 pounds and throw nearly 3,300 in the back. Your F150 can handle it.
- Durability
Ford may be best known for its motto – “Built Ford Tough.”
When you build your own F150 or buy one stock, you know you’re getting the most durable pickup on the market.
Fords are built lighter and stronger than it’s competitors and are known for their downright grit.
- Style
Not everyone has the same taste in pickups. However, you would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t appreciate the F150’s rugged, yet elegant design.
One of the benefits of building your own F150 is picking out every aesthetic option you want. Customize wheels, running boards, trim, and paint. Additionally, new Fords are guaranteed not to rust, ever!
- Comfort
The Ford F150’s comfort makes all the other trucks jealous.
While the basic models of all vehicles are, well, basic, when you build your own F150, you can make your pick rival the luxury of castles.
With options like remote starts, heated and cooled seats, moon-roofs, and dual climate controls, you may want to sell your home and move in.
- Agility
While the Ford F150 looks like it could single-handedly tear down a building, it also surprisingly agile. With a tight turning radius, smooth handling, and easy ride, you’ll quickly forget you’re sitting behind the wheel of a savage beast.
Additionally, despite its size and power, the Ford Raptor plows through mountainous terrain, hills, mud, gravel, or sand like a lion chasing gazelle.
Its agility is absolutely astounding.
- Gas Mileage
Trucks are generally not known for their fuel economy. However, Ford F150s are.
When you build your own F150, pick the V6 Ecoboost to get a mindblowing 19 mile to a gallon in the city and 26 on the highway.
There are sedans that don’t get that good of gas mileage.
- Versatility
As we stated above, you can build your own F150 for whatever life you have or want to have.
With economic gas mileage, amazing safety features, luxurious cabins, and a fantastically smooth ride, F150s make the best family vehicles.
However, in the blink of an eye, that family vehicle can turn into a nonstop work-horse.
However, if performance and adventure is your game, outfit your pickup with performance shocks, suspension, and power!
- Intuitive Technology
Each year, Ford’s technology takes it up a peg.
Driver assisting technology is something Ford F150s do tremendously well. Integrate your F150 with your smartphone to control it remotely. Lock it, start it, stop it, check your fuel, or find it in a parking lot.
Additionally, the Ford F150 has 360-degree cameras and sensors. These aid in parking, lane guiding, collision assist and more.
Finally, with touch-screen, Bluetooth capabilities, and smartphone integration, being bored while driving will never be a problem. But let’s face it if you’re driving and F150, it wouldn’t have been anyways.
