Ford Redefines the Future of Trucks with New 2015 F-150

Ford Motor Company is looking to take the truck market by surprise with the new 2015 F-150 set to release later this year. We were able to get a first hand look at the King Ranch Edition to see the stylish new design and “smart” upgrades. From Grill to Tailgate, the 2015 F-150 is an entirely new truck right down to its signature all new fully boxed ladder frame, built with more high-strength steel than ever to make it stronger yet lighter. For the first time, high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys are used throughout the F-150 body. These alloys, already used in aerospace, commercial transportation and other industries, make the new truck’s body lighter, stronger and more resistant to dents. Overall, the F-150 is up to 700 pounds lighter, helping the truck tow and haul more, accelerate and stop faster, and operate more efficiently.

“F-150 is well-known for being Built Ford Tough,” said Mark Fields, Ford Motor Company chief operating officer. “Now, it is both Tough and Smart.“

As technology evolves, so does the Legend of the Ford F-150. Equipped with an all new 360-degree rear camera, dynamic trailer hitch assist system and a boat load of driver-assist technologies that put the F-150’s truck smarts at the head of the class. With over 100+ patents registered for the new smart tech that is packed in this ride, Ford sure knows how to set itself apart. The exterior also features a remote opening tailgate, LED headlights, LED cargo box lights, and extensive on-the-job and at-play amenities that will make any driver jealous.

Five primary trim levels are available – XL, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King Ranch. Chrome appearance packages are available with XL, XLT, Lariat and King Ranch. Monochromatic sport appearance packages are available with XL, XLT and Lariat.  The FX4 Off-Road package can be added to most four-wheel-drive models, improving trail capability with an electronic locking rear axle, skid plates and off-road-tuned shocks.
