Priced at an MSRP of $35,500, We would recommend getting the XLT trim with RWD configuration and opt for the 2.7L EcoBoost engine which will cost an additional $1,195. We would recommend getting the optional trailer towing package, the 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat, integrated trailer brake controller, Ford's Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0, and interior work surface as well. 

The 2022 Ford F-150 regular cab is expected to be a carry-forward model as the entire F-150 lineup was updated in the 2021 model year. The Ford F-150 will continue to offer the same two trim levels - XL and XLT. Pricing for the 2022 F-150 starts from $29,640 for the base XL 2WD regular cab version with a short bed. The F-150 XLT Regular Cab from $35,750 with 2WD. Ford offers a long bed version that costs $300 extra. For those looking for all-weather capability, the 4WD is available across the lineup.

As there are no changes expected the 2022 Ford F-150, the pick-up truck will continue to offer a 3.3L V6 engine and will come with the option of 2.7L EcoBoost and a 5.0L V8 and will come with the standard drivetrain of RWD with the option of the 4WD drivetrain that will cost an additional $4,645. Ford has discontinued colors like Guard, Kodiak Brown, and Lead Foot from F-150's color palette, while Atlas Blue is a new offering. For 2022 other changes include new packages available on various models.

A new STX Black Appearance package is available for the XL High model, XLT Mid, and High. A new Bed Utility package is also available with XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Tremor models. As far as options and packages go, there is the option of the FX4 off-road package, the trailer tow package, chrome appearance package, the convenient Power Equipment group, and then come bed options like dividers, hooks, and trays, along with many accessories to choose from.

The 2022 Ford F-150 regular cab is powered by a 3.3L V6 making 290 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. For an additional $1,175, you can get the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine making 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque and an additional $1,995 will get a 5.0L V8 engine making 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. The 3.0-liter Power Stroke diesel engine is no longer available with the 2022 F-150.

The engine is paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission which directs all power to the rear wheels and has the option of AWD. In terms of performance, the Ford F-150 regular cab will do 0-60 in 7.6-seconds, quarter-mile in 15.9-seconds, and can tow up 5,000 pounds and goes up to 8,200 pounds. With the optional 5.0L engine it can tow up to 13,000 pounds.

The most powerful of the above is the RAM 1500 Classic which makes 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. However, it does tow an impressive 7,270 pounds but is lesser than the Chevrolet Silverado. Following this is Ford F-150 that has the least towing capacity and then comes the GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, both making 285 hp but they can tow 7,900 and 7,800 pounds, respectively.

The 2022 Ford F-150 regular cab is expected to see no changes to the engine or major mechanical parts, hence we do not expect the fuel economy figures to change. The 2022 F-150 will give 20 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway, and a combined 21 mpg. The 4WD F-150 drops the mpg figures by 1 mpg in the city and combined and 2 mpg on the highway. 

The Ford F-150 with the 2.7L EcoBoost engine gives a combined 22 and 21 mpg for RWD and 4WD, respectively, and the 5.0L engine comes with 20 and 19 mpg combined for RWD and 4WD combined. Compared to the competition the Ford F-150 does offer the best-combined fuel economy but the Ram 1500 classic with a larger fuel tank offers the best better-combined range.

The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Regular Cab has better interior features, more interior space, better towing in its base configuration as well. However, the Ford F-150 does offer a better fuel economy, choices of more powerful engines and even a choice of two-bed lengths perfectly suited to your needs. Additionally, the Ford F-150 is a bit more affordable too.

2022 Ford F-150 Regular Cab vs 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab

The 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 takes a tough beating when compared to the Ford as the F-150 looks better, performs better, and certainly has a better fuel economy when compared to the Silverado. F-150’s infotainment system is also better along with offering a choice of pick-up bed lengths making the F-150 a better option. However, as it is similarly priced it does round up to which one you like.

2022 Ford F-150 Regular Cab vs 2021 RAM 1500 Classic Regular Cab

The Ram 1500 makes more power but does lose out in performance, however, offers more in towing capacity and driving range. Ram is known for building one of the best interiors in the pick-up truck segment, but you will see that on higher trims in crew cabs on Rams. That said, the Ram 1500 classic is a bit cheaper than the Ford F-150.

The Ford F-150 has been updated in the 2021 model year hence we do not expect it to have many changes for the 2022 iteration. That said, there is a lot of performance on offer and there is a decent amount of space and options for customizating the truck to suit your work needs.
