The Lightest 2015 Ford F150 Weighs Less Than Camaro ZL1 & All Half Ton Trucks - Torque News
While the new half ton Ford isn’t quite that light, it is very close, with the smallest new F150 tips the scales at just 4,050lbs. This makes the 2015 F150 by far the lightest half ton truck on the market, but it also makes the F150 lighter than some of the larger midsized trucks on sale today. Ford Motor Company hasn’t offered up a complete list of curb weights for the 2015 Ford F150, but the folks at Autoblog recently posted an image of a Ford spec sheet showing the official weight for about half of the possible configurations. That image revealed that the lightest 2015 F150 is (not surprisingly) a regular cab with the short bed, rear wheel drive and the new 3. 5L V6 engine. A base model 2014 F150 with the short bed, smallest cab, rear wheel drive and the base V6 weighed 4,685lbs so the least expensive and lightest 2015 F150 is right around 635 pounds lighter than the same truck last year. Even if you add four wheel drive, the weight of the lightest 2015 F150 only rises to 4,309lbs with the base model V6 and stepping up to the heavier 5. 0L V8 with four wheel drive for 2015 still puts you in a truck that weighs less than the base...
