Few marques prove as iconic as the F-Series. Since 1948 this Ford line-up has delivered best-in-class value to drivers, combining V8 performance with enhanced payloads. It’s served as both a light-duty and heavy-duty platform, and its adaptability proves perfect for work or play.
It’s also no surprise that 2016 will continue this milestone.
According to Nasdaq, the F-Series recently experienced strong sales - rising a staggering 10% in February and pushing the brand to the top of the charts. This counters traditional totals, with winter often limiting overall units. Fair weather and strong incentive programs, however, have allowed Ford to succeed.
Adding to this success is the brand’s SUV line (which includes the perpetually-popular Edge and Escape). These sales rose 28% during February, further emphasizing Ford’s appeal to Canada and the United States.
2016 seems destined to be a spectacular year.

In the wake of the Volkswagen scandal - in which the company falsified diesel emission reports and deliberately misled consumers about the extent of their carbon footprints - trust seems impossible. Drivers stare warily at supposedly economical cars, wondering if they too will be revealed as frauds.
Ford wants to redefine public opinion. This is why it’s bringing a diesel platform to its beloved F-150... and rumors suggest that it will deliver incredible performance.
According to Green Car Reports, the diesel F-150 (which was recently spotted in Michigan) will offer a 3.0L V6 engine - comparable to the one used on the Ranger Rover Sport. More importantly, however, it will also feature a rear-wheel HFE drivetrain. This will enhance overall efficiency, generating more than 24 MPGs and promoting steadier accelerations.Â
This would provide drivers with best-in-class economy, allowing them to enhance every mile. It would also help to restore confidence in the diesel engine - with the F-150 undoing the damage caused by Volkswagen.

Founded in 1965, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has diligently served the world - providing aid to more than 170 impoverished countries. It stands as a beacon of hope and a call for change, helping to create sustainable solutions for economies and social policies alike.
Ford is a proud contributor to the UNDP campaign, sending fleets of F-150s to regions in need of mobile support (including evacuations, ration and supply deliveries, medication deliveries, and more). Now it further embraces the policy of goodwill - fusing its F-Series with drone technology to improve emergency land assessments.
According to Popular Mechanics, Ford is partnering with renowned drone manufacturer DJI to create a new system for the UNDP. This system will employ a quad-copter platform, blending camera sensors with smartphone connectivity to effortlessly survey natural disaster sites - identifying potential concerns for transportation teams and even assisting in the recovery of men, women, and children.
The drone will travel with the F-150s, launching from cabs when needed and delivering short-range support. This will allow UNDP teams to more effectively define their emergency plans and achieve faster response times.
Through advanced technology Ford, DJI, and the UNDP can improve the world.

Few marques prove as enduring as Harley Davidson. Since 1903 this manufacturer has dominated North American highways, delivering V-Twin engines and signature Hog styling. It’s survived decades of economic uncertainty, transitioning from the Great Depression of 1929 to the Great Recession of 2007; and its dynamic platforms have made it one of the most popular brands in the world.
No critics claimed surprise, therefore, when Ford announced a partnership with Harley in 2000 - creating a line of F-Series SuperCabs and pairing supercharged engines with customized badging. This fleet of F-150s topped the charts for more than a decade, gaining a loyal following among drivers and cyclists alike.
Now a rare Harley Davidson F-150 is to be auctioned off by the famed Barrett Jackson house!
According to Fox News, comedian Jay Leno recently donated his 2000 F-150 to Barrett Jackson. The pick-up - a 5.4L V8 supercharger, generating 360 HP - was the first of its kind. Its flare-side shape belonged exclusively to Leno for almost an entire year before the Harley Davidson line was officially launched, and it represents a unique moment in the brand’s history.
It’s expected to inspire considerable interest... and considerable cash, with drivers already revving toward the Scottsdale auction site. We wish we could be there. This F-150 is sure to be the showcase of a world-class event - and the bids are going to soar.

Atop Mount Ford sits the F-150 - the only pick-up able to scale treacherous sales curves, dominate rocky marketing campaigns, and ascend consumer verticals. This truck has reigned supreme among the North American market for more than 30 years. It’s created a high standard in performance.
It’s about to create an equally high standard in hybrid technology.
According to AutoBlog, Ford will soon launch a hybrid F-150. The company - which recently announced plans to invest $4.5 billion in electric and plug-in platforms throughout the next five years - intends to introduce its beloved pick-up to a new audience. It will combine EcoBoost precision with a rear-wheel drivetrain, delivering improved economy and undeniable results.
A hybrid design isn’t the only change coming to the F-150. AutoBlog also noted recent testings of a turbo-diesel model, with Ford utilizing the power of a Lion V6 to increase overall efficiency and speed. This engine, when combined with the model's new aluminum framing, should generate 245 HP, 443 lb.-ft of torque, and more than 30 MPG.
We’re excited - aren’t you?
Ford is redefining its signature pick-up. With the use of hybrid and diesel technology, the F-150 will become a more effective option for all drivers.

In the northwestern corner of Ohio sits the town of Napoleon. It’s a tiny place named for an equally tiny emperor, with a population hovering below 9,000 and a brick-faced downtown. It’s quiet; it’s secluded; it’s... the ultimate F-150 tribute.
Travel just beyond Napoleon and visit Leaders Farms, where the Ford F-150 has been creatively brought to life in a seven acre corn maze!
Leaders Farms - managed by husband and wife team, Brad and Kristen Leaders - is the agritainment capital of Ohio, blending maize and mazes in a fun new way! Watch below as it transforms the F-150 into a series of twists, turns, and exciting pathways.
The F-150 inspires drivers across North America - and rightfully so. This pickup delivers incredible power, with its 5.0L V8 dominating every road. Combine this with the new Pro Trailer Backup Assist system (which allows for more precise navigation) and the value of compressed natural gas fuels (which reduced overall emissions) for a superior experience.
It’s no wonder that the Leaders Farms team wanted to celebrate! Halloween is getting a Ford makeover this season.... and we wish we were in Napoleon to see it.

Few numbers prove as elusive as 200,000. This mileage milestone is rarely achieved, with many cars rattling themselves to the junk-yard before they get the chance. Their engines falter; their chassis rust; and their wires all fray. It seems impossible to cross that finish line.
One proud Ford owner - known on YouTube as ApplesMauce - did just that, however. Watch below as he takes his F-150 to the 200,000 mark!
The F-150 is a premier pickup. It’s no surprise, therefore, that it was able to survive 200,000 miles of backroads, highways, and forgotten trails. It’s engineered for endurance, serving as Ford’s most tested vehicle. Each generation receives a series of brutal simulations (including salt sprays, acidic sprays, and arctic temperatures) to push the truck to the utmost limit.
For ApplesMauce, that limit no longer includes the 200,000 milestone.
