The 2015 Ford F150 is the first all aluminum full-body pickup truck in the world and people who think that this is just a sales gimmick have no idea what they are talking about. Just after a single test drive on the new F150, you will fall in love with it. This vehicle handles superbly, unlike any pickup that you have driven before, and the power displacement is perfectly suited to its stature. More details on this later!
The exterior dynamics of the pickup remains similar to its predecessor, with the obvious difference in the built material. If you have an old F150 lying around, we suggest you knock on the steel bed of the vehicle to ascertain the differences. Ford has reworked the chassis for the 2015 model, which is composed out of high strength steel, ensuring durability and resistance.
The towing capacity of the F150 has been enhanced to 12,200 pounds thanks to the new structural integrity, which is quite a lot compared to the half-ton category in which it falls. Ford claims that the new F150 is 5-20% more fuel efficient, depending upon the terrain, driving style and hauling load. An official MPG is yet to be announced, although, with New Year approaching fast, we are sure that Ford will make their move fast!
The 2015 Ford F-150 is expected to run on a range of engine options, including a 3.5-liter V6 displacing 282 BHP and 253 ft-lb of torque, a 5.0-liter V8 block displacing 385 BHP and 387 ft-lb of torque, a small turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 displacing 325 BHP along with 375 ft-lb of torque and a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 block displacing 365 BHP along with 420 ft-lb of torque!
Production trim levels are currently under wraps, although, the experts believe that the entry level price should be between $26,615 and $52,155. Like always, Ford offers quite a few bed sizes that you can choose and is rumored to offer matching interior trim. However, this is a rumor and hence its authenticity cannot be confirmed.
Ford took the tech route this time, and the interior bears telltale signs of the situation. Be it the suave LED light theme or the suave interior, this vehicle has shaved quite a few years from its visual appearance. The headlights are LED too and are semi-split for maximum visibility. However, the pure stance of the 2015 Ford F-150 gives it the beefy truck look that most customers prefer, and this alone should earn it quite a few reputation points.
