The Ford F-Series is one of the most iconic pick-up truck lines in automotive history since production began in 1948, and it’s hugely successful in the USA.
The Ford F-150 specifically is one of the most popular pick-up trucks around the world. In Australia, Ford imports the F-150, where they’re converted to right-hand drive by RMA Automotive, a Melbourne-based company. Two models are available locally – the XLT and Lariat – with both exceeding $100,000 and powered by a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 engine delivering 298kW and 678Nm.
Pros

- Spacious and comfy cabin with flat floor
- Modern tech and safety, with big screens
Cons
- Difficult to park or manoeuvre in tight spaces
- Real-world fuel use often exceeds 12.5L/100km
- Lariat is costly; XLT lacks premium extras
