?2015 Ford F-150 4X4 Supercab - Insight News
So whenever Ford redesigns the F-150, it is news. Ford changed the F-150s sheet metal from steel to aluminum to secure huge weight savings, up to 700 pounds, depending on the model, and get a sizable increase in fuel economy. And this aluminum is not the sort of stuff you get out of a box of aluminum foil. In addition to the two assembly plants that make the F-150, Ford invested heavily in an advertising marketing campaign to say that the new 2015 Ford F-150 was made from military grade aluminum alloy. Unless you really know your metal, there was no way to tell that the body panels of our test vehicle were made of aluminum. There are four engine choices: a 3. 5 liter EcoBoost V6 that makes 365 horsepower and 420 foot-pounds of torque, a 283 horsepower 3. 5-liter V6 that makes 255 pound-feet of torque, a 5. 0-liter V8 rated at 385 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of... 7-liter V6 was the engine that our test vehicle had and it was mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. On, paper Ford said the truck could tote 2,160 pounds and tow 8,400 pounds. To be specific, we had the 2015 Ford F-150 4X4 Supercab XLT. Our XLT came after the XL, thus it.
