Off-Roading Above 10000 Feet In The 2015 Ford F-150 FX4 - Gizmodo Australia
Above it, only stunted pines barely cling to rocks and physical activity becomes hard work. It looks tough, the rocks and low shrubs and ancient, stunted pines, but what flora there is grows incredibly slowly and clings to the rocky soil tenuously. So, access for off-roading a vehicle this high is extremely rare, for that reason. Coyote Flats is the only place I’m aware of in California where you can reach this height — 11,000 feet in some places — and probably the only place you can do it outside of Colorado. To put this elevation in perspective, the tallest mountain on the East Coast is North Carolina’s Mount Mitchell, which stands just 6,684 feet above sea level. What Is It. The 2015 Ford F-150 is an all-new truck and one that departs relatively hugely from the traditional full-size pickup format. The truck you see here is equipped with the Supercrew cab, which adds full-size rear doors and hugely spacious rear seats that fold up for a flat load floor. It also has the FX4 package, which is Detroit speak for “off-road. ” That brings Hill Descent Control, an electronically-locking rear diff, “off-road tuned” (read: stiffer) shocks, and skid plates for some additional protection.
