2024 Ford F150 Reviews

If you're in the market to buy a US ute like the Ram, Chevrolet Silverado or even the upcoming Toyota Tundra, then the F-150 seems like it should be right up there in terms of what you consider.And a top-spec Ford F-150 Lariat long wheelbase is well-engineered, well-equipped and purpose-built for towing and touring, so it should be a spot-on fit at the top of your shopping list. Right?

The 2024 Ford F-150 has taken the dual-cab pick-up and supersized it in Australia, where mid-size utes - including its Ranger sibling - dominate the sales charts. As we find out in this load test, there are advantages to be had for tradies who decide to go big.

It's big and bold, but is it beautiful? Ford Australia has brought the full-size F-150 pick-up to Australia in two grades and two wheelbase lengths in a bid to expand a market niche already established by the Chevrolet Silverado and RAM 1500. With Toyota's similarly-sized Tundra set to arrive here soon, this is an important model for Ford, and we've driven it on local soil.

This is a big moment for Ford. Literally. The F-150 is returning to our shores to taker on a bunch of massive American trucks, but Ford is also conscious of not eating into sales of its top-selling Ranger ute. Can this iconic nameplate capture the attention of Aussies, or will the incoming Toyota Tundra - as well as the Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado - take the shine off?
