The new Ford F-150 is 317 kg lighter than its predecessor thanks to aluminum elements, but still retains the ladder frame, newly made with high-strength steel. We have known this basic information since the premiere in Detroit at the beginning of the year. Now, specific engine data and a bit of the pickup's useful features have been added to them.
The basic drive unit is a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine with an output of 287 hp and a torque of 345 Nm. The carrying capacity of the F-150 with this engine is 866 kg, and you can tow a 3447 kg trailer behind the car.
The middle unit is a 2.7-liter six-cylinder EcoBoost gasoline engine with a power of 329 hp and a torque of 507 Nm. The load capacity increases compared to the basic six-cylinder to 1020 kg, and the trailer can have a maximum of 3855 kg . The engine is equipped with a stop/start system that reduces fuel consumption, but it is deactivated when towing a trailer or using all-wheel drive.
The top engine is the five-liter eight-cylinder Ti-VCT , which is derived from the same unit in the new Mustang . However, it will offer more performance at lower speeds. However, specific dates have not yet been published.
