Ford has made it clear that it’s gunning to dominate the booming US-style small pickup segment with its F-150 ute. It’s a big truck that’s full of features but, at the same time, doesn’t feel ponderous or boaty on the road.

What sets the Ford lariat for sale apart is its bigger centre screen and digital instrument cluster, which look a lot more premium than the XLT’s 8.0-inch display. It also gets some desirable active safety gear that’s missing from the XLT, including intelligent adaptive cruise control with stop and go, blind-spot detection (with trailer coverage) and lane-centering.
There’s more to this truck than a bunch of screens, though. Its cab is roomy and comfortable, with two USB ports and dedicated rear air vents for passengers, while the 60/40 split rear seats swing up vertically to give more internal load space or access a full-width bin underneath.
