For 32 years, the Ford F-150 has been the best-selling American car in the US, and it seems that even after the introduction of the thirteenth generation , nothing will change about this fact. Ford describes it as the most capable, smartest and toughest F-150 ever, and we have no reason not to believe the blue oval.
Especially when, technically, the model still has a ladder frame , but made using more high- strength steel , which makes it not only stronger and more durable than before, but above all, together with aluminum body elements, makes the new F-150 317 kg lighter .
The appearance of the new F-150 is not a big surprise – those who remember last year's Atlas concept will not only be familiar with the headlights, but also the dominant radiator grille. The trunk lid has a built-in discreet spoiler and, in addition to remote control, it also offers access to the LED-illuminated storage space . We can also find access ramps or the BoxLine system consisting of metal partitions.
The interior should primarily offer higher quality materials and more modern information technology. Ford confirmed that the SYNC multimedia system with MyKey and MyFord Touch applications and an eight-inch screen on the instrument panel will be available as part of additional costs or higher equipment. A complete novelty is the camera system , covering 360 degrees around the car.
Without much detail, Ford published the engine range, consisting of six-cylinder 2.7 EcoBoost , 3.5 EcoBoost and 3.5 V6 and eight-cylinder 5.0 Ti-VCT . The 2.7-liter six-cylinder is supposed to offer a stop/start system and the power of a mid-performance eight-cylinder. Sales of the new F-150 will start this year in a total of five trim levels – XL, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King Ranch. Special packages will also be available – chrome, sports and off-road with the designation FX4.
