Why Ford Trucks Dominate the Roads in Missouri

Tough Enough for Missouri Terrain
From farmland to the Ozarks to busy Kansas City freeways, Missouri demands a truck that can handle anything. Ford trucks—especially the F-150 and Super Duty—are built with high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy and durable steel frames to take on Missouri’s toughest jobs. Whether you’re towing, hauling, or exploring off-road, Ford trucks are engineered for all terrains and seasons.
Best-in-Class Towing and Payload
The 2024 Ford F-150 offers a maximum available towing capacity of up to 14,000 lbs when properly equipped—perfect for hauling equipment, trailers, boats, or ATVs across the state. Need even more? The Super Duty lineup tows up to 40,000 lbs with gooseneck towing, making Ford the top pick for Missouri contractors, farmers, and heavy-duty haulers.
Smart Tech for Work and Play
Ford trucks come loaded with available SYNC® 4, wireless Apple CarPlay®, onboard Wi-Fi, and Ford Co-Pilot360™ safety features. F-150 drivers can also opt for Pro Power Onboard to power tools, campers, or tailgate parties. It’s smart tech built for the real world—and the Missouri lifestyle.
Trusted by Missouri Farmers and Families
From small towns to large rural properties, Ford trucks are a staple on Missouri farms. The F-150 is as useful for fence repair and fieldwork as it is for school pickup and weekend trips to Smithville Lake. Platte City families love the versatility, safety, and comfort packed into every Ford truck model.
