Starting from CAD $46055
Ford’s best-selling truck may look better than ever because of the use of class-exclusive, lightweight aluminum sheet metal, but its true value lies in the features and capabilities it offers. The most popular truck was recently redesigned, and its improvements include a sleeker exterior, a more comfortable cabin, enhanced ride and handling compared to prior F-series models, additional convenience features, and increased towing and payload capacities.
The 2022 F-150 looks to keep Ford on top of the sales charts with its rugged durability and cutting-edge technology. There is a reason why Canadians love it and buy it year after year.
Performance & Handling
The 2022 Ford F-150 comes with a range of powertrain options, ensuring that there is something to suit the preferences of all shoppers. In our testing, we had the opportunity to experience the Lariat trim with the base 2.7L EcoBoost engine, and it proved to be more than capable of moving this pickup truck with ease. The power delivery is impressive, providing ample acceleration and the necessary torque for towing and hauling. Furthermore, the 10-speed automatic transmission does a great job of providing smooth and quick shifts.
The F-150 excels when it comes to maneuverability. The steering is direct and responsive, making it effortless to navigate through tight parking lots. Despite its size and capabilities, the F-150’s steering allows for easy handling and precise control.
For a vehicle with such impressive towing and payload capacities, the F-150 is surprisingly easy to drive. Whether cruising on the freeway or tackling challenging terrains, this truck demonstrates its versatility and adaptability, providing a comfortable driving experience.
Technology & Connectivity
The 2022 Ford F-150 is equipped with Ford’s SYNC 4 technology, which brings a host of advanced features and capabilities to the infotainment system. One of the highlights is the support for over-the-air updates. This means that not only can the infotainment system be updated wirelessly, but also the engine and other internal systems of the F-150. This ensures that the vehicle remains up to date with the latest software enhancements and improvements.
Our tester had the 12-inch infotainment touchscreen which offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, providing quick and easy access to a range of features and settings. Whether it is navigating through menus, adjusting audio settings, or using navigation functions, the touchscreen is responsive and efficient. The customizable nature of the 12-inch digital gauge cluster is also impressive, allowing you to personalize the display according to your preferences.
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard in the 2022 Ford F-150.
Interior & Comfort
The 2022 Ford F-150 stands out for its straightforward and user-friendly settings and controls. The interior design is well thought out, ensuring that drivers can easily access and operate essential settings without confusion. The overall interior design is focused on functionality, allowing drivers to maintain their reach without compromising on convenience or safety.
Drivers of all sizes will be comfortable thanks to the many available settings for the seat, steering wheel, and pedals. This ensures that drivers of various heights and body types can find their ideal driving position, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue during long drives.
Comfort is a priority in the F-150, and depending on the selected packages, it can truly deliver a luxurious and enjoyable ride. The front seats are designed to provide exceptional comfort, and they can be upgraded with features like heating, cooling, a three-position lumbar slider, and even a vibration massage function. These features further enhance the driving experience, allowing occupants to customize their seating preferences and create a relaxing environment. One feature we really liked was the Max Recline front seats, which can be lowered to their flattest position. This unique design allows for optimal comfort during breaks or if you ever decide to sleep in your truck.
When it comes to ride quality, the 2022 Ford F-150 does a great job. The cabin remains quiet at higher speeds, effectively minimizing noise from the road, tires, and wind.
Cargo Space & Storage
The 2022 Ford F-150 stands out as the leading light-duty pickup truck when it comes to hauling and towing capabilities. When properly outfitted and configured, the F-150 showcases its impressive towing capacity, allowing drivers to tow up to 14,000 pounds. Ford has incorporated innovative technologies and materials to ensure that the F-150 is not only powerful but also lightweight, maximizing its towing potential. Whether it’s for work or recreation, the F-150’s towing capabilities ensure that it can handle the demands of various towing scenarios, making it an ideal choice for those in need of a modern and capable pickup truck.
While the F-150 excels in its towing capabilities, it’s important to note that the bed size is not the largest in its class. However, the bed’s dimensions are still sufficient for the needs of most shoppers. The F-150’s bed provides ample space for hauling typical cargo, and its design maximizes usability and practicality. Whether it’s for transporting equipment, supplies, or personal belongings, the F-150’s bed offers a versatile and accommodating space to meet various hauling requirements.
Fuel Economy
The 2022 Ford F-150 not only offers impressive performance and capabilities but also showcases remarkable fuel efficiency. We tested the Lariat with the base 2.7L EcoBoost engine, which was rated at 12.2/9.8 L/100km (city/highway). We got similar numbers in our testing.
