The pickup industry is beset with models that talk the off-roading talk without walking the off-roading walk. Ford is different, delivering capable backcountry performance with trucks like:
- 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor
- 2018 Ford F-150
- 2018 Ford Super Duty
When you need to tow heavy, carry plenty, and still cross the toughest terrain Iosco County can throw at you, look to Ford.

Ford F-150 Raptor
While all Ford trucks respect off-road capability, the 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor has been specifically designed around off-road needs. Nearly 500 pounds lighter than previous models thanks to its innovative high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body, it boasts:
- A twin-turbo, dual-direct and port fuel-injected 3.5L EcoBoost engine for up to 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque.
- 10-speed automatic transmission for precise control during low-speed acceleration and crawling.
- Up to 9.4 inches of ground clearance, 25.7-degree approach angle, and 26.8-degree departure angle for tackling uneven ground and steep slopes.
- High-output off-road FOX racing Shox with custom internal bypass technology to provide 13 inches of front and 14 inches of rear suspension travel.
- Heavy duty steel skid plates at the front and over the engine to keep your vehicle's vitals protected.
Small wonder the Ford F-150 is a popular model for audacious customization jobs.

Ford F-150
The Ford F-150 itself maintains a finer balance between on-road and off-road performance than the Raptor model, and it turns its mighty specs to either purpose:
- Up to 3,270 pounds of maximum payload.
- Up to 13,200 pounds of maximum towing.
You can switch into four-wheel drive at the turn of a dial with the electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) system. Choose between 4x4 low, 4x4 high, 2-wheel drive, or automatic 4x4 with select trims. An FX4 Off-Road Package includes:
- Electronic-Locking Rear Differential
- Hill Descent Control
- Off-Road Tuned Shock Absorbers
- Skid Plates
- "FX4 Off-Road"
Ford Super Duty
The Ford Super Duty is the most impressive heavy-duty truck in the segment, able to deliver:
- Up to 925 lb-ft of torque
- 32,500 pounds of towing
- 7,630 pounds of payload
It isn't as off-road-focused as other Ford trucks, but it can still manage the great outdoors. In fact, it was subjected to dust storms, water, salt brine, and mud baths to ensure total dependability across anything from blacktop to backcountry.
