Serving Wellington, TN

The 2019 Ford F-150 has long been America’s bestselling truck, and the F-150 Lariat and F-150 Raptor are two of the line’s most appealing trim levels. So how do you know which is right for you? The Ford F-150 outsells and outperforms every other truck in its class. It is a tough and powerful vehicle that makes all the rough jobs look easy. Ford also set the standard with its F-150 pickups when it decided to build them with aluminum construction. This eliminates an average of 700 pounds from each vehicle’s weight. There is a lot of innovation to discover for those who decide to lease or purchase. Both the Lariat and Raptor provide the utility that owners look for in a powerful pickup.

Performance

The 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat delivers a lot of power. With a 2.7-liter engine, it can still deliver a respectable 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of towing power. Its 2.7-liter EcoBoost complements a ten-speed transmission. Drivers can also choose a 6.7-liter turbo diesel that exudes power.

The 2019 Ford Raptor has a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that enables 450 horsepower. Drives can pull their load with 510 lb-ft of torque. Its ten-speed auto¬matic transmission is smooth and responsive enough to allow drivers to avoid excessive shifting.

The Lariat comes standard with one of the F-150’s thriftiest powertrains, the 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. Depending on body style and configuration, an F-150 with this engine can earn up to 22 mpg combined. That’s an impressive figure for such a capable truck. This powertrain is also a strong option, giving you 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque for your towing and hauling needs.

In the 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor, you’ll find all-out power, if not maximum fuel economy. This off-road-ready pickup truck comes standard with a high-output version of the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine. It kicks out 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque to help you power through the wilderness. However, all that extra power will cost you at the pump. The Raptor only earns 16 mpg combined. That’s why we only recommend the Raptor for truly rugged drivers.

Appearance

The 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat offers sublime interior comfort at a much more reasonable price than you get with the Raptor. Inside, you’ll find upscale leather upholstery and heated and ventilated front seats. Convenience features, like keyless entry and ignition and a trailer hitch, make it easy to get through your day-to-day life. The Lariat’s ambient interior lighting and dual-zone automatic climate control features also add to this truck’s luxurious style.

In the 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor, you’ll also find a long list of luxury features. However, though this truck costs thousands of dollars more, the Raptor’s interior will remind you of the luxurious Lariat.
