2015 Ford F-150 Not to Be Missed


It’s just about time to start thinking about the 2015 model year and the 2015 F-150 is one model you won’t want to miss.

It’s projected to be our most efficient F-150 yet and we set out to make the toughest, safest, smartest Ford F-150 yet. The all-new F-150 is designed to deliver more towing and hauling capability than the previous generation and with the technology to do it with confidence.

The high-strength, military grade, aluminum alloy in the new F-150 does not produce red rust like steel, and we’ve gone to great lengths to develop coatings that will inhibit corrosion.

Through years of innovation and refinement, our engineers have devised a way to join its high-strength-steel frame together with its all-new body and bed, which are constructed using high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys.

The all-new F-150 will benefit from the truck itself being lighter, which will translate into higher payload and towing ratings as well as enhanced driving dynamics.

A 2.7L EcoBoost engine joins a comprehensive lineup of choices to meet every need. The numbers are in at 325 horsepower, 375 lb.-ft. of torque, a max payload of 2,250 pounds and 8,500 pounds max towing.

The 3.5LV6 TI-VCT FFV engine delivers 282 horsepower and 253 lb.-ft. of torque for a max payload of 1,910 pounds and max towing capacity of 7,600 pounds. Its twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) automatically adjusts intake and exhaust for enhanced efficiency.

The 3.5L EcoBoost engine is rated a best-in-class 12,200 pounds of towing with 365 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. This available workhorse has been proven tough after years on the job and with more than 400,000 EcoBoost-equipped F-150 trucks out on the road.

The 5.0LV8 FFV engine is trusted eight-cylinder power that delivers a best-in-class payload rating of 3,300 pounds, over a half ton more than its nearest competitor. It’s performance is made possible by 385 horsepower and 387 lb.-ft. of torque, yet it’s surprisingly efficient.

When it comes to technology, there is a new, available 8-Inch Productivity Screen that is larger and more convenient. It has tabs that make navigation between screens easy and is command central for your truck, right in front of you.

Depending on the trim level, some of the available technology for the 2015 F-150 includes adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with brake support, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, lane-keeping system, a 360 Camera with Split-view Display and Dynamic Hitch Assist, and Reverse Sensing System.

You could also get active park assist, BLIS with cross-traffic alert, Quad beam LED headlamps and taillamps, LED security approach lamps, LED side-mirror spotlights, LED box lighting, ambient lighting, Remote Start System, remote tailgate release, and 110v/400w inverter outlets (up to two).

And there’s more. There’s SYNC with MyFord (4.2-inch LCD screen in center stack), Crew Chief powered by Telogis, inflatable rear safety belts, power-deployable running boards, auto high beams, rain-sensing windshield wipers, SecuriCode keyless entry keypad, and power-adjustable pedals.

On the 2015 Ford F-150, the 60 percent side of the 60/40 rear seat folds to reveal a storage bin. A pull-out bin is beneath the middle front seat of the 40/20/40 configuration.

Speaking of seats, there is seating for six available on SuperCrew and SuperCab models with 40/20/40 seating configurations and with a variety of power control options.
