2019 Ford F-150 Lariat 2WD SuperCrew 5.5' Box

1. Third-Gen Coyote Enhancements (2018–2020)

The 2019 model got the 3rd-generation Coyote, which included:

• Direct + Port Fuel Injection – for better power and MPG.

• Revised cylinder heads – more airflow and better combustion efficiency.

• Higher compression ratio (12:1) – more power without forced induction.

• Forged crankshaft – stronger for long-term durability.

• Redline: ~7,000 RPM — again, rare for a truck engine.

Result: 395 hp @ 5,750 RPM and 400 lb-ft @ 4,500 RPM — the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in any half-ton truck that year.

2. Old-School Simplicity in a High-Tech World

• In 2019, the F-150 was also available with twin-turbo EcoBoost V6s and a diesel. But a lot of truck buyers specifically chose the 5.0 V8 because:

  • No turbos = less long-term maintenance complexity.

  • Linear throttle feel and better "seat of the pants" response.

  • Naturally aspirated torque curve = consistent, predictable towing behavior.

3. Towing and Payload Muscle

• Towing capacity with the 5.0L V8: up to 11,500 lbs (when properly equipped).

• Max payload: around 3,270 lbs — among the highest in the segment.

• The V8 was also less sensitive to heat and sustained load compared to EcoBoosts under full trailer loads.

4. Built to Take Abuse

• The 5.0L in the F-150 is tuned differently from the Mustang — more torque-focused.

• Iron liners in the aluminum block = durability.

• Proven in fleet trucks, work trucks, and abuse-tested by owners in every condition.

• Handles high mileage if you stick to oil changes and don't overheat it.

5. Aftermarket & Tuning Friendly

• Easy to find parts, tuners, and performance mods.

• People supercharge or turbo these trucks all the time and get 600–700+ hp reliably.

• Ford Performance offers Coyote crate versions that share DNA with the F-150 motor.

6. Best of Both Worlds

• Good fuel economy for a V8 truck (15–17 mpg average depending on driving).

• Sounds like a real truck should — a classic V8 rumble vs. turbo whoosh.

• Doesn’t feel “laggy” or computer-dependent like some newer powertrains.
