Its twin-turbo V-6 engine definitely packs a powerful punch, but it also handles well considering its size. With an optional 360 degree camera added, maneuverability worries will be a thing of the past.

By class standards, the F-150’s fuel economy is first class—19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on highways. It may not be able to compete with a hybrid, but it will be a challenge to find a more eco-friendly pickup.
