Few vehicles have consistently dominated their segment time and time again like the Ford F-150 has. The success of Ford's light-duty pickup truck is partly due to the almost endless configurations it offers. Whether you're looking for an affordable work truck, luxury cruiser or capable off-roader, the F-150 has you covered. It offers a wide range of engines, from a base V6 to a powerful hybrid powertrain. You have a choice of several cab and bed sizes and an incredible number of features to choose from including the Pro Power Onboard system that can supply juice to various electronics. And for 2024, the F-150 looks to be even better thanks to the most significant update since this latest-generation truck debuted for the 2021 model year.;You can spot the updated F-150 from its mildly updated grille and headlights. But more important is what's inside. All F-150s now get a full digital gauge cluster and a 12-inch central touchscreen display as standard. Other tech improvements encompass an update to BlueCruise, Ford's hands-free driving assistance system, to make it more useful and helpful in highway traffic. Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 now serves as the truck's base engine. Also, the Raptor R's supercharged 5.2-liter V8 gets a boost in power, and the price for the optional PowerBoost hybrid has been reduced to be the same as the optional turbocharged 3.5-liter V6. Finally, there's a new optional tailgate that opens in additional ways to make cargo loading easier. ;The changes made for 2024 help keep the F-150 at the top of its game and ensure it stays at the top of our truck rankings. But if you're still undecided on what truck to get, check out the Ram 1500. It's currently the F-150's most competitive rival and is the smoothest-riding pickup. The recently redesigned Toyota Tundra is also worth a look, and the F-150's longtime archenemy, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, has a lot to offer.

It's not a 2024 model, but our observations still apply because it belongs to the same F-150 generation. To find out what we think about its fuel economy, technology, comfort and more, check out our F-150 Hybrid long-term review here.;While there's an F-150 configuration to match pretty much anybody's budget or desire, we suggest checking out the XLT trim for all-around value. For higher budgets, we think the hybrid powertrain is worth getting because of the long-term gas savings. More generally, we recommend getting an F-150 with Ford's BlueCruise hands-free system if you do a lot of highway driving and Pro Power Onboard if you use your F-150 a lot for recreation or job sites. ;The 2024 Ford F-150 is offered in six primary trim levels: XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King Ranch. There are also the off-road-oriented Tremor, Raptor and Raptor R versions that exist outside the traditional lineup. There are three cab styles — regular, SuperCab (extended) and SuperCrew (crew cab) — and three bed lengths depending on cab style. Along with the many trim levels and cab styles, the F-150 offers six available powertrains. All are paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
