New Ford F150: Downsizing

FordF1503Ford just introduced the new F150 pickup truck on the Detroit Motor Show. The F150 is an important truck for Ford. Over the last 32 years this model is the most popular car in the USA. In record breaking years Ford produced up to one million of them in a year, and that makes the F150 the most produced car ever.

With the new 2015 model Ford is downsizing. The frame is made lighter and the body has aluminium parts. Together that saves more than 300 kg. There are four engines for the new F150. There is the 5 liter V8 and the 3,5 liter EcoBoost V6 engine. Also a V6 is the 2,7 liter EcoBoost engine. with start stop. This small engine gives the same power as some of the older V8 models. All models with the new EcoBoost engines have an electric Active Grille Shutter that gives better aerodynamics when closed.

Ford offers a 360 degrees camera system that gives a birds-eye look at the driving vehicle in its actual surrounding.
