CHANGES FOR 2014:
- New F-150 Tremor model fills sport truck niche.
- XLT and above trims get HID lights and bolder grille styling.
- FX appearance package features new grille.
- 17-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents now standard on XLT and STX.
- New Marina Blue leather on Limited.
- STX now available with SuperCrew cab.
- Compressed natural gas prep available from the factory.
Another model joins the F-150 range for 2014 using a new combination of bits from the existing parts bin. Named Tremor, the new regular cab, short wheelbase sport truck combines the FX appearance package with Ford's 3.5L EcoBoost V6, an incredibly short 4.10 electronically locking rear axle for massive burnouts, 20-inch flat black wheels, and bespoke interior bits. For those looking to purchase for fleets, Ford will now sell you the F-150 prepped to burn compressed natural gas. Or, if you are just a normal Joe looking for an affordable pickup with lots of room to haul the family around, the F-150 in STX trim is now available with a SuperCrew cab, the largest cab offered by Ford.
Going into 2014, almost everything else is a carryover, save standard HID headlights on certain trims and other light packaging changes.
The F-150 comes with a choice of four engines: a 3.7-litre V6, a twin-turbo 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6, 5.0-litre V8, and 6.2-litre V8. All use a six-speed automatic transmission that includes tow/haul mode.
