Compared to Ford’s other upscale trucks, the 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum trim model has a very unique style. If the Platinum’s exclusive aesthetic turns you on, you’ll find there’s a lot more to love, including a powerful V8 performance and cutting-edge tech features.
What is the 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum?
Just one tier below the F-150’s most luxurious trim model (the F-150 Limited), the F-150 Platinum is a very luxurious and very powerful pickup truck.
Feature highlights include:
- 20-inch polished aluminum wheels
- LED headlamps and taillamps
- Leather-trimmed upholstery
- Heated and ventilated power front seats
- Heated rear seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Power tilt-and-telescoping steering column

- 12-inch digital gauge cluster
- Forward collision mitigation
- Blind-spot monitoring
And every Platinum also includes the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 package, which adds extra protection to the F-150’s standard safety aids. This suite of driver aids includes Ford’s Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control system, with stop-and-go capabilities, lane centering, and speed sign recognition.
The Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 package is optional for the Platinum. It includes the coveted BlueCruise system, which provides hands-free driving on thousands of miles of pre-mapped highways.
How can I configure the 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum?
There’s only one F-150 cabin available for the Platinum trim model, and that’s the spacious SuperCrew. This crew cabin comes standard with luxurious space for up to five passengers. But you can choose between two bed sizes: 5.5 feet and 6.5 feet.
What’s under the hood? How much can the 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum tow and haul?
The F-150 Platinum comes standard with a 5.0-liter V8 engine (400 hp, 410 lb-ft), which powers the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. Of all the F-150 engines, this V8 has the potential to help you haul the biggest payloads.
However, the Platinum also offers two optional powertrains. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 (400 hp, 500 lb-ft or 450 hp) increases the F-150’s towing capabilities. And, with the 3.5-liter PowerBoost full hybrid V6 engine (430 hp, 570 lb-ft), this luxurious truck earns EPA ratings of up to 25 mpg combined.
With its standard V8 engine, the right body style, and the proper equipment, the F-150 Platinum can haul max payloads of 2,650 pounds. Tow ratings also vary according to body style and equipment. But you can persuade an F-150 Platinum to tow up to 14,000 pounds using the turbocharged EcoBoost V6.
How much is the 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum?
This posh pickup truck starts at $61,390. That price has the potential to rise, however, if you decide to add optional features or packages to your F-150 Platinum.
