Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2024 Ford F-150 in Powerboost and Tremor form.
Palm Springs, CA – As the saying goes: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. On the other hand, in the case of the F-150 that is also facing increasingly stiff competition from Ram, Chevrolet and Toyota, it pays to keep things fresh. In fact, it’s a necessity.
It comes as part of an option package that also adds cleats, bed lights, a power up/down tailgate and a tailgate work surface. There’s also a new bed step feature that no longer requires multiple steps to deploy as was once the case. That older system is still available, though, and would be the smarter choice on the off-road spec-ed trucks as you’ll get better ground clearance.
To prove this, Ford had a Powerboost model on display that was attached to a number of fans, air conditioners, cooking tools and more. It gives the ability to generate power at all times, plus it saves you wasting precious bed space or payload capacity on a heavy diesel generator. 2024 Ford F-150 Tremor, camera view for attaching trailer | Photo: D.Heyman Technology in the 2024 Ford F-150 – 8.5/10The standard inclusion of the 12-inch display even on base trucks is a big add. It looks good, plus it offers features that go hand-in-hand with the pickup as a work vehicle. It’s here you can view the draw on your Pro Power Onboard system as well as a scale feature to see how your payload is sitting.
