Rolling the variant out at a worth of $69,990, solely $10,000 lower than that of the All-Wheel-Drive configuration. Nonetheless, it was additionally void of many different issues:

Sorry. It simply isn’t price that a lot. I might purchase the twin motor at that worth, earlier than incentives. I suppose I’ll simply have to attend longer. The outdated F150 nonetheless runs good. There may be nothing compelling at that worth level.
