Tailgating in Style: Why the Ford F-150 Is the Ultimate Football Truck
Nothing says Texas football season like a good tailgate—and no truck does it better than the Ford F-150. Built for strength, comfort, and versatility, the F-150 brings everything you need to make game day unforgettable. Whether you’re firing up the grill, blasting your favorite pre-game playlist, or hauling all your gear, the Ford F-150 is the ultimate tailgating companion. At Stanley Ford Gilmer, we’re proud to help Texas drivers gear up for the season in a truck that works hard, plays hard, and looks good doing it.
Why the Ford F-150 Dominates Game Day
The Ford F-150 isn’t just America’s best-selling truck—it’s also a lifestyle vehicle built for comfort and capability. Its modern design and innovative features make it the perfect choice for anyone who wants to take their tailgate setup to the next level. With multiple trims, engine options, and tech-packed interiors, the F-150 delivers the perfect balance between power and practicality.
Power and Performance You Can Count On
From the available 3.5-liter PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 to the mighty 5.0-liter V8, the 2025 F-150 lineup gives drivers serious muscle under the hood. You’ll enjoy up to 13,500 pounds of towing capacity—plenty of power to bring along a trailer, smoker, or even a camper. And with selectable drive modes, the F-150 adapts seamlessly from paved parking lots to muddy game-day fields.
Tailgate Features That Make a Difference
The Ford F-150’s tailgate isn’t just a door—it’s a workbench, serving station, and social hub all in one. The available Pro Access Tailgate gives you easy side entry, while the Tailgate Work Surface is perfect for setting up food, drinks, or your favorite snacks. Plus, with the available Pro Power Onboard generator, you can plug in speakers, TVs, or cooking equipment without needing a separate power source.
Comfort and Technology Inside
Inside, the F-150 transforms into a home away from home. Available leather-trimmed seats, a spacious interior, and dual-zone climate control keep everyone comfortable during those long pre-game parties. The SYNC 4 infotainment system with a 12-inch touchscreen keeps your music and navigation at your fingertips, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it easy to stay connected.
Smart Storage and Convenience
From the lockable under-seat storage to the fold-flat interior work surface, the F-150 is designed for maximum utility. Whether you’re storing coolers, chairs, or team gear, there’s a place for everything. And with available features like the interior work surface, you can even use your F-150 as a mobile office before the big game.
