Ford has jacked up prices for the popular F-150
Limited for the 2019 model year. Those looking to pick up a 2019 Ford F-150 Limited will have to parts
ways with at least US$ 68,630 for the 4×2 model and US$ 72,055 for the 4×4. That’s a
lot of money, especially when you consider that the outgoing 4×2 starts at US$ 62,855 and the 4×4 can be purchased for ‘as little’ as US$ 66,280.
Whereas automakers often increase the prices of new models by offering
once-optional parts as standard equipment, Ford hasn’t done that. Instead, the only apparent change
enjoyed by the new 2019 model is an improved 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that
now delivers 450 hp and 691 Nm rather than the 375 hp and 637 Nm offered up by the outgoing model.
Cars Direct reports that the 2019 Ford F-150 Limited
comes complete with 22-inch polished aluminum wheels, a twin-panel moonroof,
quad-beam LED headlights, and power running boards.
Inside, Ford has equipped the vehicle with a suede
headliner, 10-way two-tone heated & ventilated seats up front, a 10-speaker
B&O Play audio system, voice-activated navigation system, and pre-collision
warning with auto emergency braking like all other F-150 variants. Other
noteworthy features include adaptive cruise control with stop & go, auto
high beams, blind spot warning, and a reverse sensing system.
Putting the F-150 Limited’s new price into
perspective, the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali starts at US$ 67,640 with its
optional 6.2-liter V8 and Ultimate Package. Additionally, the F-150 Limited is
almost US$ 8000 pricier than models like the 2019 Silverado 1500 High Country and
2019 RAM 1500 Limited.
