2019 Ford F-150 Limited SuperCrew – Top shelf refined capability bar none
Hanging out with us near the Hills Country Club in The Hills, Texas recently was a knock-out handsome 2019 Ford F-150 Limited SuperCrew 4×2 pickup.
Locals were heard to say that our Ruby Red Metallic Clear Coat pickup was a serious ‘Sunday go to meeting’ vehicle. With its color, stylish chrome accents and Power Deployable Running Boards outside and Camelback with wood accent luxury inside, it did give you that ‘feel’.
But, as we found out, this baby could both play and work with nearly the best of them (except maybe a Raptor) – every day of the week, including Sunday.

Setting the stage, please note our test F-150 SuperCrew Limited was the top-of-the-line full-size pickup from Ford. It has a MSRP $67,135. With a short list of options plus delivery, the sticker price was $71,150.
Whoa you say, that’s a lot of money. To which we answer – this 2019 Ford F-150 Limited SuperCrew 4×2 is a whole lot of truck. Let’s take a look.

Get Up and Go
Our Limited 4×2 was powered by the High Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (formerly Raptor only) engine producing 375 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. Equipped with Auto Start/Stop, It was mated to the F-150 tuned 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with Tow/Haul, Snow/Wet, EcoSelect and Sport modes.
The fuel economy rating was 17/22 mpg city/highway and 19 mpg combined. Equipped with the 36-gallon fuel tank, our F-150 Limited had a highway range of over 650 miles.
Underneath, our Limited was equipped with an independent double wishbone and coilover shock front suspension and leaf spring with solid axle rear – both fitted with heavy-duty gas pressurize shock absorbers. Steering was electric power assisted with brakes power antilock vented disc front and rear.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://ticket-1994427.inwheeltime.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/20190127_122642.jpg” alt=”2019 Ford F-150″ title_text=”2019 Ford F-150″ align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ animation_style=”fade”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font_size=”20px”]
Wheels were 22-inch polished aluminum and mounted with P275/45 R22 all-season tires that ran exceptionally smooth and quiet.
Our F150 Limited 4×2 was a seriously quick and fast machine both around town and on the highway. For those who know how dangerous RM 620 has become locally – this powertrain and running gear blasted us safely from blind intersections onto that highway – running away from oncoming traffic nearly as ably as a Bullitt Mustang.

Exterior

Work and Play
For work and play, our F-150 Limited was rated to haul over 2,040 pounds and tow up to 12,700 pounds. A whole lot of boat, camping trailer and gear – or whatever – can be hauled anywhere with this truck.
Underneath, the Limited is one tough truck with its fully boxed High Strength Steel frame with front coil and rear leaf two-stage suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel power disc brakes. On the topside, this truck is not just gorgeous, but also very tough with its High Strength Military-Grade Aluminum Alloy body and bed.
For hauling that payload, our Limited came with a 5.5-foot bed with ToughBed Spray-in Bedliner, Cargo Bed Lamp, Remote Tailgate Release, Tailgate Step with Tailgate Lift Assist, LED Box Lighting and BoxLink Cargo System with tiedowns.
