Ford Motor Co. took the top prize for their all-new full-size pickup Monday at the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit - TRUCK OF THE YEAR!
Here is the post on the Aluminum Ford F-150 launched a year ago:
Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development, said the vehicle is "setting the standard for the future of trucks."
"We’ve taken the best truck in the world and made it better in every way," he said during the unveiling. "This is our toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 we’ve ever done."
The vehicle is up to 700 pounds lighter thanks to an all-new high-strength steel frame and high-strength aluminum-alloy body.
Ford also added a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost with standard Auto Start-Stop, which turns off the engine when a vehicle stops, and a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6. The company will continue to offer a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and 5.0-liter V8. According to Ford, the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine features a lightweight, compact design to deliver the same power as some mid-range V8s.
