Review: 2015 Ford F150 - N4BB
I’ve been anxiously awaiting this test since Ford first announced this truck early last year. I watched in envy as automotive journalists from all over were invited to Texas to give this truck its first tests. Never has a vehicle faced such high expectations, and I’m just speaking from me. Ford’s 2015 F150 is a long overdue complete redesign of their flagship vehicle. Ford sold more F150s than any other vehicle in Canada again in 2014. a feat they have repeated for 5 years. This new truck has some mighty shoes to fill. Legacy pressure aside, Ford had the momentous task of merging innovation with long-standing reliability. They needed to build a truck that helped bring better mileage without changing their drivetrain too much. Ford’s new truck uses the same 6 speed transmission as it’s predecessor does, and the same 5L V8, 3. 5L EcoBoost V6, and 3. 7L V6 engines. What this does mean, however, is while this truck is a total redesign, at least the drivetrain is tested and proven over the last 4 years. Which is a good thing too, because Ford has taken a big gamble with the 2015 F150. This truck is stylish, even when coated in winter. Ford has introduced a military grade Aluminum alloy body mounted to a high tensile strength steel frame. Source: n4bb.com
