Pricing for 2015 Ford F-150 Released

Pricing for 2015 Ford F-150 Released
BRIGHTON, Mich - As of yesterday, U.S. and Canadian dealers were able to begin placing orders for the 2015 Ford F-150 pickup truck that will hit showrooms later this year. Now that the pricing for the 2015 Ford F-150 has been released, customers will notice that Ford Motor Company has raised the prices on the aluminum-bodied F-Series pickup by $395 to $3,615. 

The base model 2015 XL F-150 will start at $26,615, up $395, and the top-end Platinum version will start at $52,144, up $3,055. The biggest price increase is on the King Ranch F-150, which will not start at $49,460, up $3,615. Being that this F-150 model is a lightweight, aluminum-bodied pickup and has a predicted fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon on the highway, Ford believe that buyers will pay the premium amount for the F-Series truck. Aluminum does happen to be more costly than steel, but the added price stems from added content, improved performance and better efficiency, not the materials. 

Ford will be losing production of roughly 90,000 F-Series pickups as it converts two factories to aluminum truck production. Changing the 2015 Ford F-150 to aluminum is the largest and most complicated launch in the history of Ford Motor Company. It will be a tough process, but Ford is confident that their loyal customers will respond positively and make all of these obstacles worth while.

2015 F-150 Adds Two New Engines to Four-Engine Lineup

2015 F-150 Adds Two New Engines to Four-Engine Lineup
BRIGHTON, Mich - The most capable F-150 yet is providing truck customers with even more options to ensure that their light-duty pickup will meet every one of their driving needs. The 2015 F-150 has added two new engines to its four-engine lineup - a high-output 2.7-liter EcoBoost with standard Auto Start-Stop and new 3.5-liter V6 with twin independent variable camshaft timing - and has raised the bar in light-duty pickup performance, capability and efficiency yet again. 

The twin turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine is ideal for meeting all of your mid-range capability needs. It is not only efficient with its Auto Start-Stop technology, but it also features Ford's first use of compacted graphite iron cylinder block which saves weight while providing strength where it is needed most. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 combines power and performance in one strong package. This engine can produce 325 horsepower, 375 lb.-ft. of torque, has a maximum payload rating of 2,250 pounds and a maximum tow rating of 8,500. 
2015 F-150 Adds Two New Engines to Four-Engine Lineup

The 3.5-liter V6 is extremely powerful and durable thanks to vehicle weight savings. The 3.5-liter V6 with Ti-VCT offers a 5 percent improvement in power-to-weight ratio over the larger 3.7-liter V6 found in the 2014 F-150. This engine has a high efficiency rate and performance level, producing 283 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft. of torque. Its maximum payload is 1,910 pounds and has a max tow rating of 7,600, making it unsurpassable for standard V6 light-duty pickup trucks. 
2015 F-150 Adds Two New Engines to Four-Engine Lineup

Now that the 2015 F-150 has added two new engines to its four-engine lineup, Ford customers will have the option to alter their 2015 F-150 to meet all of their driving needs. Whether they are hauling tools or towing tailors, there is an engine for that!

American Military Families Choose Ford

American Military Families Choose Ford
BRIGHTON, Mich - When it's time to purchase a new, dependable, high-quality vehicle, American Military Families Choose Ford. According to Polk vehicle registrations, in an IHS Automotive sample 19.3 million households that included active, retired and veteran military personnel, Ford products ranked in the top 10 new vehicles purchased by military families. This study accounts for 920,000 new and used light vehicle registrations within the last year. 

Military families seek vehicles that are efficient, capable and contain smart technology. This is why they choose Ford. The Ford F-150 topped the list, followed by the Escape at number three and the Fusion at number nine. The F-150 market share among military families is actually higher than its portion of the overall retail vehicle market. Pretty crazy considering it is America's best-selling vehicle, right?  Along with its number three ranking, the Escape is also the No.1 sport utility vehicle among American military families and the overall favorite for military families in the Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland areas. 

For 90 years, Ford and Ford Motor Company have been proud supporters of the active military and veteran groups. Since 1974, Ford has donated more than $8 million on behalf of veteran organizations, which even includes the National World War II Memorial. Ford also continues to support veterans through the Ford Veterans Network Group, proudly sponsoring activities for veterans, military personnel and their families.
