Driving: 2015 Ford F-150 - Vancouver Courier
If you travel down South to Tacoma and walk through the doors of the LeMay automotive museum, you’ll currently find a display dedicated to the history of the Ford F-series pickup truck. They’ve got workin’ rigs stretching right back until 1948, although of course the old Fords are retired from heavy lifting, spending their days cruising or under the spotlights. I drove down there to check them out in this machine, something that the horny-handed sons of the soil that drove the old F-series would have trouble recognizing as a work vehicle. You half expect the original trucks to gang up on the shiny new city slicker like that part in the Old El Paso commercials where the salsa label says “New York City. That truck’s jest too darn fancy for these parts. However, well-equipped F-150s are finding their way into more and more Canadian driveways these days, not just as tools for work, but for fun as well. Welp, she’s a truck all right. If the old F-series started out small with curvy sheetmetal, the current heavy half-ton is the size of an oil tanker. The FX4 designation sets the F-150 up as an offroad-ready sport truck – not a baja-style Raptor, but tough enough. Source: www.vancourier.com
