2015 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost 4x4 Lariat SuperCab First Test - MSN Canada
When I was growing up, Chevrolet trucks were "like a rock" and Ford trucks were always "built Ford tough. " While Chevy has since found new roads and runs deep, Ford has stuck to the "built Ford tough" slogan like a magnet to steel, using it for its F-Series truck line for more than 36 years. With the 2015 Ford F-150, the golden child of the F-Series brand, switching from steel to aluminum construction this year, we can't help but wonder -- is the 2015 F-150 still built Ford tough. To find out, we sourced ourselves what is perhaps the most interesting model in the new 2015 F-150 lineup, a 2015 F-150 Lariat SuperCab equipped with four-wheel drive and Ford's all-new 2. 7-liter twin-turbo V-6. The F-150 Lariat represents a step... That EcoBoost 2. 7-liter, twin-turbo V-6 isn't just tiny for a V-6, but it's also tiny for a pickup, making it the smallest displacement engine currently available in a half-ton pickup. it's made of a compacted graphite iron upper block (the same tough-but-light material used in Ford's Powerstroke 6. 7-liter turbodiesel V-8), and an aluminum lower block. That hot new engine combined with that weight-saving aluminum results in some pretty impressive numbers from the 2015 F-150. Our well-equipped 2015 F-150 Lariat tester, with an extended cab and four-wheel drive, weighed in at. Source: www.msn.com
