2015 Ford F-150 Debuts At 2014 Detroit Auto Show - Automobile Magazine
Last year, Ford's Raj Nair told us that a lighter F-150 could manage with a smaller, less-powerful engine. As a result, a new 2. 7-liter turbocharged V-6 slots beneath the carryover 3. 5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost mill. ) The EcoBoost engines also receive Ford's Active Grille Shutters, which can close off the engine bay under certain conditions to improve aerodynamic performance. 5-liter non-turbo V-6 engine replaces the previous truck's 3. 7-liter engine, and the F-150's 5. 0-liter V-8 engines will also carry over to the new model. Other updates that were previewed on the Ford Atlas concept include LED headlights, mirror lights, and box lights. " A new 360-degree camera system, like the Nissan AroundView monitor, makes maneuvering easier, while the backup camera adds a Trailer Hitch Assist function that helps guide drivers to more quickly line up with a trailer. And for charging devices or powering tools on the go or on the job site, the bed features two 110-volt, 400-watt power outlets. Updated Design The 2015 Ford F-150 also looks a lot like the Atlas concept, and much of the styling seen here was visible in our many spy photos. Source: www.automobilemag.com
