2015 Ford F150 Review

Customers who have been waiting for the 2015 Ford F150 to hit showroom floors are going to be rewarded for their patience.

Simply stated, the new F150 blows the beds off the competition. Of course that comes as no surprise to dedicated Ford owners. The F150 has been the top selling vehicle in the U.S. for the past 43 years. That's VEHICLES not just trucks (F150 has been the #1 truck for 32 years too)!

So what separates the 2015 from the rest? Let's start with where it all starts....the engine.

F150's engine comes in a 2.7L, a 3.5L V6, a 3.5L EcoBoost and a 5.0L V8. Horsepower in these bad boys can be as “little” as 283 HP with 255 lbs of torque or as much as 325 HP with 375 mighty lbs of torque. Maximum payload for towing goes all the way up to 8500 lbs. That falls in line with Ford's credo of making towing a ton easier.

Just because the F150 has all of that power it does not mean that any fuel economy has been compromised. In fact, it's just the opposite for this fuel saving stud! The 2015 F150 is the most fuel efficient truck yet. The exact numbers haven't been calculated due to the need to complete the fuel efficiency certification process, but once those numbers are figured out you can figure on some eye-popping totals!

If you are not gassed reading about the statistics of the new F150 then continue on and learn how modern this truck is. The F150 has taken a giant leap in truck technology. It was built using high strength, military-grade aluminum alloy for the body and bed. Also used was high strength steel that is 700 pounds less than its predecessor. For those of us who are into saving the environment, and really that should be all of us, Ford has also invoked the use of recyclable aluminum scrap. All of those materials help the F150 deliver the towing and hauling that was mentioned above while helping resist corrosion like never before.

The inside of the F150 is just as nifty as all of the things happening on the outside. Like a lot of new vehicles there is a command center on the dashboard of the truck. Unlike those others, however, the F150's uses the newest technology and graphics and is truly command central for all of the workings of the truck. All of that info can be found on a digitally delicious 8 inch screen. A 360 degree camera system allows the driver to see all four sides of the truck. The twin panel power moonroof is so spectacular it stretches over the rear seats! That air will come in handy when you are driving around town with the other 5 people you can haul in this six passenger piece. There is also enough room to make sure everyone brought with them what they need. There is a pull out bin in the middle front of the truck that splits 40/20/40 and a fold out storage bin that splits 60/40 plus under seat storage.

If you need more space to store things you can always use the truck's bed that has LED box lighting and sport mirrors!

No doubt this new Ford F150 is well suited to satisfy all former F150 owners. It's the lucky people who have decided to drive Ford for the first time that are really going to be transfixed by this truck!
