The current generation of the F-150 was unveiled just in 2015, Ford is revamping it for 2018, giving it some style and powertrain updates.

Updates To The F-150’s Engine Options

One of the is a small shake up to the engine options. Currently, the F-150 offers a varied list of engine options that includes a 2.7L EcoBoost V6, a 3.5L EcoBoost V6, a 3.5L Ti-VCT V6, a high-output (HO) 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (found only in the Raptor), and a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8.

A Super Duty F-150

Some spy photographs have also hinted that Ford is working on creating an F-150 Super Duty. What many refer to as a heavy half, a camouflaged F-150 with a low ride height and low profile frame riding on 8-lug wheels (like those you’d see on a current Super Duty) . The grille on the test truck appeared to be a 2017 F-150 grille with the words super duty written across it.

Adding a Super Duty option to the current F-150 line-up would allow the F-150 to compete against other automotive manufacturers that offer similarly spec’d out trucks, while giving enthusiasts the ability to have an F-150 that can tow more and take on bigger jobs than your normal F-150.

2018 F-150 Styling Upgrades

While a lot of the body lines appear to be staying the same, the 2018 F-150 looks like it will be receiving some minor cosmetic upgrades. Since most of the test vehicles have been spotted with their front fascia’s covered in camo, it seems like a front-end upgrade is on its way, a common mid-cycle refresh for a lot of vehicles.

2018 Ford F-150 Interior

From some of the spy photos that have made their way online, and now the official shots on the OEM site, it appears that Ford is tweaking the design of the and tail lights. There also appears to be some small changes coming to the grille and the tail gate. This will certainly make the aftermarket hungry to start modifying rigs to keep differentiating themselves from the competition.
