It’s football season, and that means one thing — it’s time to tailgate. If you’re looking for a truck that plays as hard as it works, Ford’s lineup is ready for you. Here are the best Ford trucks for tailgating this fall.
F-150
What better way to enjoy game day than from the tailgate of America’s top-selling truck? The 2019 Ford F-150 is not only reliable and powerful enough to take on your life’s adventures, but it’s also perfect for tailgating.
The 2019 F-150 is more than well-equipped to take on any parking lot on Sunday Funday. The F-150 has a best-in-class payload rating, and though you may not reach that limit with burgers and beer, you can sure try. Upgrade your F-150’s truck bed with the deployable step that allows easy access into the bed. Available LED lights integrated into the bed means that you can keep tailgating all night.
Ranger
Ford’s midsize 2019 Ranger pickup is designed to take on an expedition. So, can it handle your tailgating party? You bet.
Equip your Ranger with the FX4 Off-Road Package to set up your grille virtually anywhere. One of the neatest parts about the Ranger is the Ford-approved accessories you can equip it with that make it overnight ready. Tonneau bed covers, bed mats, bed lighting systems, bed racks — whatever you need to make your Ranger perfect for your tailgating parties.
Super Duty
For grill masters who need to tow their grilling stations, the Ford Super Duty is the best option. It’s one of the best towing pickups on the market, thanks to Ford’s focus on power and efficiency. The 2019 Super Duty, when properly equipped, can tow up to 21,000 pounds with conventional hitch towing and 35,000 pounds with gooseneck towing. With those numbers, you could haul your entire kitchen to the party.
You can also upgrade the Super Duty with LED lights in the bed to tailgate into the night. The bed’s four lockable cleats let you tie down all the gear you need. For those looking for the toughest truck with the most features, only the 2019 Super Duty will do.
F-150 Raptor
The 2019 F-150 Raptor is so awesome that it’s worth its own section on this list. This pickup is Ford’s answer to the growing demand for off-roading pickups. Whether you’re tailgating in the middle of the desert or the crowded stadium parking lot, the F-150 Raptor will get you there with ease and style.
The Raptor is designed to take a beating. Its 24-valve EcoBoost 3.5-liter engine packs 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque it uses to power through nearly any terrain. With performance features such as Trail Control and Ford’s Terrain Management System, you can take the party anywhere you please.
