WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CURB WEIGHT AND GVWR?
When measuring vehicle weight, you will typically see two numbers. First is the curb weight, which is how much the vehicle weighs by itself. This measurement does not include any passengers, cargo, or accessories that can be added to the vehicle. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR, is a number that represents the maximum total safe weight of the vehicle. This includes the curb weight plus any added weight from passengers, cargo, and accessories. When picking a vehicle, it is important to consider the GVWR if you plan to carry heavy loads regularly.

WHAT ENGINE DOES THE FORD F-150 HAVE?
Depending on which trim you choose, there are several types of engines that your Ford F-150 can have. This includes Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 or a 5-liter V8 with port-fuel and direct injection (PFDI). The PFDI engine mixes gasoline with air. When combined with how the engine is set up, this allows for an impressive boost in power.
Some newer F-150 models also have the ability to shut off half the cylinders when the vehicle doesn't need its full power. This saves energy and allows for even better gas mileage.
