The Ford F-150 is the most popular pickup truck not only in Birmingham but throughout North America and has been for many decades. In fact, the Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle period and that extends beyond new models to used Ford F-150 pickups as well. Stivers Ford of Birmingham has one of the largest selections of pre-owned and Ford Blue Advantage certified preowned Ford F-150s. These are the longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road, which means that there are many options. With that in mind, we’re going to spotlight the 2020 Ford F-150 as that is the last model prior to Ford introducing the 14th F-150 generation and a popular choice among our drivers shopping Birmingham used trucks.
Something to consider when shopping for a used Ford F-150 in Birmingham is that while the regular cab is a two-door cab, so is the SuperCab. With the SuperCrew, passengers in the rear seat have independent ingress and egress. That means that it’s generally the superior choice for customers who’ll often have adult passengers in the rear seat. Another aspect you may want to think about when considering Birmingham used trucks is the bed length. For this model year, Ford offered three options: a 5.5-foot small bed, a 6.5-foot standard bed and an 8-foot long bed. With the regular cab and SuperCab, you can find either the standard or long bed, and the SuperCrew is available with either the short or standard bed.
There are three cabs to consider for your used Ford F-150 at Stivers Ford of Birmingham. An F-150 with a regular cab can seat up to three, and an F-150 with a SuperCab or a SuperCrew can seat either five or six depending on whether it has a front bench or front bucket seats. Headroom and legroom are the same in the front row across all three cabs. When considering the extended cabs, the main difference is second-row legroom. The SuperCab gives you more than 33 inches, which is certainly enough to accommodate adults comfortably, but the SuperCrew gives you about 10 inches more, which makes it one of the roomiest options you’ll find among Birmingham used trucks in this year range.
For many of our customers shopping for a used Ford F-150 in Birmingham, towing capability is a big deal. If it is for you, then you should have an idea up front about what your target is. Tow ratings range from 5,000 pounds to 13,200 pounds for this model year, and the exact rating of the used Ford F-150 you choose is going to depend on the engine, drive layout, cab and bed combination and many other factors. If you know your needs, then our team can help you limit your search to only those trucks that meet them.
The most common powertrain you’ll find for your used Ford F-150 in Birmingham in this model year is a six-speed automatic mated to a 3.3-liter V6 that makes 290 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. Know that all of the other engines that were available for this model were paired with the more sophisticated 10-speed instead. That includes a turbocharged 5.0-liter V8 that makes 395 hp. There is also a turbocharged V6, an even more powerful turbocharged V6 available in standard- and high-output configurations and, for those who prefer diesel, another turbocharged V6.
A rearview camera is standard for this model. You’ll also find a modern 8-inch infotainment touch screen, but you’ll need to target the XLT trim level and higher for that feature. Frontal collision warning with automatic braking is a standard feature. Other driver assists available include blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, lane departure warning with lane keeping assist and a trailer monitor. Those were not standard, however, and are generally found with the Lariat trim level and higher.
