Why Test Drive Different Trim Levels — And How Friendly Ford Helps 

Choosing the right F-150 is more than picking a price tag — it’s about how you use it. A test drive lets you:

• Feel the difference: V6 vs V8, 4×2 vs 4×4, regular cab vs SuperCrew — the driving experience changes a lot.
• Try the tech: Things like BlueCruise, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, and 360-degree cameras are real game-changers — and you’ll only know if they “click” for you by trying them.
• See what fits: Will the bed be big enough? Is the SuperCrew cabin roomy enough for your family or gear?

At Friendly Ford, our sales team can walk you through the options, set up side-by-side test drives across trims (Lariat vs Platinum vs Tremor, for example), and help you find the best fit, whether you’re preparing for towing season or just want a reliable daily driver.
