New 2015 F-150 Most Patented Truck in Ford History
Ford is prepared to make history with its new 2015 F-150, from its tailgate step to the LED spotlights found on the side mirrors.
The result?
The F-150 will be Ford’s most patented truck in company history.
Noted Alana Strager, Ford program analyst, “Ford engineers filed more than 100 new patents for technologies on this truck as they have worked to redefine the light-duty pickup for the next generation.”
Examples of the innovations include:
- Segment-exclusive LED spotlights found on the side mirrors, innovative remote tailgate release and smart trailer tow features that make towing easier;
- LED side-mirror spotlights allow customers to illuminate the side of the vehicle for tasks from setting up a campsite to changing a tire;
- Remote tailgate release automatically lowers the tailgate with the push of a button on the key fob – a first for a pickup truck Ford’s pioneering tailgate step has been completely reengineered so it fully integrates into the tailgate, making it virtually invisible when not in use. The tailgate drops down into position in one easy motion.
Other smart features include 360-degree camera view, integrated loading ramps stowed in the pickup bed, 400-watt power outlets inside the cab and LED headlights.
Mounted on an exceptionally strong and well-proven high-strength steel frame, the all-new Ford F-150 incorporates the latest high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys to form the body and cargo box.
