The Regular Cab of F-150 comes with a total of four different engine options. The XL and XLT 6.5’ have three different engine options, while their 8’ counterparts add one extra. The standard base engine is the 3.3L Ti-VCT capable of producing 290 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. For $995 extra, you can pursue the 2.7L EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V6 capable of pumping out 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. For $1,995, you can equip the massive 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 spitting out a hefty 395 horses and 400 lb-ft of torque. These three are available on the 6.5’ box.
Finally, the 8’ box also gives you the option to choose a 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V6 churning out an impressive 374 horses and 470 lb-ft of torque. It would cost $2,595 and is arguably the best engine in the entire line-up. All the power plants are mated to a six-speed automatic as standard, but an optional upgrade to a ten-speed automatic is available. Power is routed either to the rear wheels or all the wheels.
All the trims feature a new axle upgrade and an electronic locking rear differential. The six-speed automatic does a fine job, but the ten-speed automatic can be slow at times to shift those gears. The towing capabilities also vary according to the engines. The 3.3L Ti-VCT can do 8,500 lbs; the 2.7L V6 can do 7,600 lbs; the 3.5L V6 can pull an impressive 10,700 lbs and the 5.0L V8 tows 9,100 lbs.

The base engine of the F-150 is not weak, as it can pull this heavy truck from standstill to 60 MPH in around 7.3 seconds and reaches the quarter-mile at 13.2 seconds. The Titan offers the most powerful engine in its base configuration, that’s why it costs more. However, that does not do anything to improve its performance as it is on par with the less powerful Americans. But the Titan gets the highest towing capacity.
How well does the 2019 Ford F-150 Regular Cab handle?
The F-150 is a pretty smooth handler. It is not perfect, but when you are behind the wheel, except for a quick and precise steering response. Depending on the engine you spec it up with, handling will differ. But in most cases, the steering remains accurate. Body roll is present but it's not very pronounced. Throw it around corners without much fear and it will be fine. It is also agile with a good throttle response and minimum turbo lag.
The ride quality is not the best, but it still offers a decent and acceptable ride. The suspension can soak up smaller bumps with ease, but larger potholes do filter through the cabin. For off-roading, the AWD does a fantastic job. The towing capacity is also very potent, especially with the Trailer Tow package equipped.
2019 Ford F-150 Regular Cab Braking Performance
The F-150 comes with 4-wheel disc brakes with 4-wheel ABS. The front brake rotors are 13.8 inches, while the rear rotors are 13.7 inches. Both are pretty large ones and they do a pretty decent job of making the truck come to a halt. The pedal is also linear and has a precise length of travel. Also, the new models come with Automatic Emergency Braking as standard for quick braking under emergency situations.

The Titan is the heaviest while the F-150 is the lightest. As a result, the Ford truck comes to a halt the fastest consuming the least distance. The other trucks all consume over 130 ft, which is a rather decent figure. Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra offer nearly identical braking performance as the weight is the same for both trucks.
