10. High-Strength, Military-Grade, Aluminum-Alloy
Body
Ford’s objective was to reduce
weight and increase strength. The F-150 is the only truck in its class* that has this combination; making it
up to 700 lbs. lighter than the previous model. Lighter and stronger!
(* Class is Full-Size pickups under 8,500 lbs. GVWR.)
9. 12,200-LB. Max Tow Rating*
When properly equipped with
available 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 4x2. That’s over six tons!
(*Class is Full-Size pickups under 8,500 lbs. GVWR.)
8. The Best-in-Class Payload*
Equipped with the 5.0L V8, 4x2,
it can carry 3,270 lbs. and the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 can haul up to 2,210 lbs.
That’s more than every other full-size pickup in its class!
(* Class is Full-Size pickups under 8,500 lbs. GVWR.)
7. Highest Gas Mileage
In the 2.7L EcoBoost V6
4x2, an EPA-estimated rating of 19 city/
26 hwy/22 combined mpg
(* Actual gas mileage may vary.)
6. The Safest F-150
The 2016 F-150 is the only truck
to earn a NHTSA 5-Star safety rating and IIHS Top Safety Pick on the SuperCab
and SuperCrew models equipped with optional Forward Collision Warning. Also,
the F-150 received a 5-Star rating from the NHTSA* on every side, for every cab
configuration. Safe to say, they aced those tests!!
(*Government 5-Star Safety Ratings are part
of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) New Car
Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov). Tests include driver and passenger
front, side and barrier and pole tests.)
5. No Body Rust on the Aluminum Panels
Military-grade aluminum. They put
this truck through some extensive testing! Watch the video here, http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/gallery/videos-and-demos/Videos/we-test-durability/FMFS08501000/
4. Available Pro Trailer Backup Assist
The F-150 is the first pickup
truck to offer this feature. With just a simple turn of a knob you can make the
trailer go where you need it. They really thought of it all!
3. Ten Million Miles of Testing
Ford put these trucks through everything imaginable! Check out the
extensive
videos at http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/gallery/videos-and-demos/builttoughtest/?intcmp=lp-toughten-cta
2. More than 100 Patents
From front to rear, top to bottom, and inside and out, Ford engineers out
did
themselves!
1. The F-Series has been the Best-Selling Brand
of Trucks for 39 Years Straight!!
