While the capability and durability of the 2017 Ford F-150 are its most trumpeted qualities, owners also love them for their upscale features and sense of pride. That’s the case with Gary Ripowski and his Platinum model. After switching from a V8-powered competitor, he found plenty to love with Ford’s class-leading option.
Mr. Ripowski’s truck comes with the twin-turbo V6 engine, which has a best-in-class towing and torque rating—handily outgunning competing diesel and V8 models. Armed with Trailer Hitch Assist, it makes backing up and towing his motor boat easy as pie. But beyond capability is the truck’s premium appointments, which Mr. Ripowski describes as “putting on a tuxedo” every time he gets into the cab. His model also comes with massaging seats, which he sometimes uses to impress the women he dates.
