Three years after first introducing the high-strength,
military-grade, aluminum-alloy-bodied Ford F-150, the new F-150
arrives with bold new front and rear styling, advanced technologies
– including available Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian
Detection – and improved engines. The new engines include an
all-new 3.0-liter Power Stroke® V6 turbo diesel and enhanced V6 and
V8 gas engines.
“Truck customers are constantly looking to improve their
productivity, for work and for play,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford
President, The Americas. “Since 1977, we’ve been America’s favorite
truck, and we’ve never taken that leadership for granted. This new
F-150 is our latest example of Ford’s commitment to going further
for our customers through continuous innovation.”
The 2018 F-150 is part of the Ford F-Series truck lineup,
America’s best-selling truck for 40 consecutive years and America’s
best-selling vehicle for 35 years.
Ford is previewing the new truck today during the FOX NFL
Wildcard Pregame Show, which airs starting at 4 p.m. today. Ford is
the Official Truck of the NFL. The truck will be revealed on Monday
at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Even tougher
The new F-150 delivers on its Built Ford Tough promise through a
segment-exclusive combination of advanced materials that are
durable and inhibit corrosion.
A high-strength steel fully boxed ladder frame and
high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy body save weight and
add capability, helping F-150 tow heavier trailers than ever and
deliver best-in-class payload ratings.
The 2018 F-150 lineup is new with even tougher looks. From XL to
top-of-the-line Limited, all Ford F-150 models receive new grilles,
headlamps and bumpers that create a visually wider and more planted
stance and maximum differentiation between the series. On the Sport
Package-equipped Lariat F-150, the signature twin bars are painted
body color for a custom athletic appearance.
Further enhancing its “milled from a block of high-strength,
military-grade, aluminum alloy” look, the F-150 features six
all-new wheel designs, ranging from 17 inches to 22 inches in
diameter.
A new sculpted tailgate with deeper accent form and stamped
“F-150” are flanked by new tail lamp designs. For further style
differentiation, a tailgate applique adds a horizontal element to
King Ranch, Platinum and Limited versions.
F-150 also brings two new seating trim colors – Dark Marsala for
F-150 Platinum, while top-of-the-line F-150 Limited offers a Navy
Pier environment. New trim offerings including carbon fiber
appearance appliques on F-150 XLT Sport and Lariat Sport models,
while the famed F-150 King Ranch features new Kingsville Appointed
seats.
Even smarter
Ford F-150 advances the light-duty pickup truck segment again
with segment-first and class-exclusive technologies that improve
productivity, efficiency and driver confidence, while keeping
occupants connected to the world around them.
- New enhanced segment-first available
adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality allows
drivers to set a cruising speed. They then use radar and camera
technology to monitor traffic ahead to maintain a set distance
between vehicles – even following a vehicle down to a complete
stop.
- New, segment-first available
Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection helps the driver
avoid or mitigate collisions with vehicles and pedestrians.
- With a new available embedded 4G LTE
modem for a Wi-Fi hot spot, customers can connect up to 10 mobile
devices at one time, virtually anywhere.
- New B&O PLAY available audio system
takes advantage of high-end speakers, sound and tuning to deliver a
richer, more engaging listening experience.
These technologies join existing segment-exclusive driver assist
and convenience features that include:
- Available SYNC® and SYNC 3 with
FordPass enables compatibility of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto –
plus mobility services to help customers move more efficiently
- Available 360-degree camera technology
helps improve driver confidence when parking and can help reduce
stress when connecting a trailer – allowing customers to see more
so they can focus on specific tasks such as lining up a hitch
- Available lane-keeping system is
designed to help reduce unintentional drifting of the vehicle
outside the intended lane
- Available Blind Spot Information System
with trailer tow technology is optimized for F-150 to include the
length of a trailer up to 33 feet; BLIS® uses radar sensors in the
taillamps to monitor areas that may not be visible to the
driver
Even more capable
Ford builds on its performance leadership by offering the most
advanced F-150 engine lineup ever, plus the best towing capability
of any F-150 ever.
The new F-150 introduces an all-new, standard 3.3-liter V6
engine, with direct-injection for increased efficiency. The
3.3-liter V6 is expected to offer the same 282 horsepower and 253
lb.-ft. of torque as the previous model’s standard 3.5-liter
V6.
An all-new second-generation 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine features
advanced dual port and direct injection technology, reduced
internal friction and improved robustness – all for improved levels
of output, efficiency, quality and durability. Like the 3.5-liter
EcoBoost, the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will be paired to the
segment-exclusive 10-speed automatic transmission for 2018.
The 5.0-liter V8 also sees improvements in 2018, as the
naturally aspirated engine features significant upgrades for
increased power and torque. It’s also paired with the 10-speed
automatic transmission for the first time.
The 2018 F-150 also adds an available all-new 3.0-liter Power
Stroke diesel engine, designed, engineered and tested in-house and
paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission. It’s the
first-ever diesel engine offered for F-150.
In addition to the segment-first 10-speed automatic, the Ford
F-150 is now the first full-size pickup truck to add automatic
start/stop as standard equipment across all models and engines.
The new 2018 F-150 goes on sale this fall. It will be built at
Dearborn Truck Plant in Dearborn, Michigan, and Kansas City
Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Missouri.
