Ford Redefines the F-150
Ford has introduced the all-new Ford F-150 weighing in 700 pounds lighter and now with a 2.7-liter EcoBoost® engine.
As America’s best-selling vehicle for 32 years, the F-150 aims to increase capability and efficiency with such new features as a 360-degree camera view, integrated loading ramps stowed in the pickup bed, 400-watt power outlets inside the cab, LED headlights and side view mirror spotlights, and remote tailgate release.
In designing the backbone of the F-150, Ford engineers strove to improve the truck’s signature, fully boxed ladder frame. It is all-new with more high-strength steel than ever – making it stronger and lighter.
High-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys – already used in aerospace, commercial transportation, energy and many other rugged industries – are used throughout the F-150 body for the first time, improving dent and ding resistance and also saving weight. Overall, up to 700 pounds of weight have been saved, helping the F-150 tow more, haul more, accelerate quicker and stop shorter, and boost to efficiency.
