The first large pickup truck Ford is importing from the United States is not intended for use in the workplace. Of course, we target not only the agribusiness audience, but also urban consumers who like to travel and want to convey their successful status.
The Mustang F-Line, which includes his
V8 engine Ford F-150, is the world’s best-selling pickup his truck for 46 consecutive years. This position is primarily supported by the North American market. Pickups are the most popular vehicle there, with over 640,000 units sold in 2022. In other words, the F-series comes in multiple versions, including larger, more durable models like the F-250. However, for American, the brand chose the F-150 with his powerful 5.0 Coyote engine, the same V8 as the Mustang. The same goes for the 10-speed automatic transmission. However, this set has a special calibration for the pickups. As a result, the V8 develops a power output of 405hp from 4,250rpm and a maximum torque of 56.7mkgf. This means it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs about 2,500 kg. Another unique adjustment has been made to the driving program with a mode intended for off-road use.
Acceleration and Consumption
Once behind the wheel, it’s impressive how quickly the pickup picks up speed. Just push the right pedal hard and the V8 engine revs up and provides plenty of power. In fact, a rich rumble occurs immediately after starting. Despite its weight and height of 1.96 m, the F-150 is very stable when moving. However, this desire is reflected in consumption. In other words, the average value is 6.3 km in the city and 8.6 km per liter of gasoline on the highway.
The 136-litre tank saves the driver from frequent refueling stops. According to Ford, the F-150 has a range of approximately 1,200 kilometers. But the bill is high considering American gas prices. For example, in ST, the average cost of 1 liter of fuel is $ 1 Therefore, filling an F-150 tank costs approximately 110.
Almost 6 meters
Anyway, all figures are superlatives, including dimensions. According to Ford, the F-150 has an overall length of 5.88 meters. In other words, he is more than half a meter larger than average models such as Ford Ranger (5.35) or Toyota Hilux (5.33). Also, since the width is 2 meters, you need to be careful about traffic and parking. Also, the distance between the axles is 3.69 , which is longer than the overall length of the Renault Kwid (3.68 ).
The F-150’s bucket has a capacity of 1,370 liters. However, the resilience is not impressive. 728 kg for the Lariat version and 681 kg for the Platinum version. For example, the Hilux needs a lot of things. This is a characteristic of pickup trucks manufactured for the United States. North Americans generally don’t carry a lot of weight, but they do carry a lot of baggage. Therefore, the towing capacity of the tow boat, trailer and trailer is 3.5 tons. In addition, the F-150 is equipped with an electronic pilot assistant.
Technical Stand
In addition to its attention-grabbing performance and size, the Ford F-150 will satisfy any technology enthusiast. For example, in terms of safety, this heavy-duty pickup truck comes standard with eight airbags, all-wheel drive, on-demand electronic traction control, and some semi-autonomous driving features. Among others, ACC, blind spot warning, automatic high beam adjustment and piloting assistant.
It also has features such as electric opening and closing of the bucket lid and a side step with an integrated ladder. It also features a sunroof and electrically adjustable steering wheel and pedals. Another great feature is the folding gear lever. The console between the seats can be folded up and used as a dining table or work table. The cabin has a clean finish with plenty of leather and soft-touch parts. However, the highlight is the two large 12-inch screens on the dashboard, both of which are high resolution and customizable. One is the instrument panel and the other is part of the multimedia system, which brings together the various functions of the vehicle. When the engine starts, a three-dimensional image of the pickup appears on the display behind the steering wheel, and a commemorative logo celebrating the 75th anniversary of the F series, which was launched in 1948, appears on the center screen.
