In 1975 Ford offered drivers a new experience - one of power, performance, and accelerated strength. The F-150 had arrived and with it came the promise of work-force domination, with the F-Series able to accommodate every towing and payload demand. This was the ultimate half-ton option.
Times haven’t changed that much.
With the release of the 2016 F-150, Ford proves its dedication to consumer needs - offering a series of high-performance innovations (such as EcoBoost technology, military-grade aluminum, an electronic locking rear differential, and the class-exclusive BoxLink). These elements combine for best-in-class towing and a more effective ride.
Every 2016 F-150 advancement, however, owes considerable thanks to the platforms that came before it - such as the 1986 F-150, which (as the Automoblog infograph shows) offered some premium power:
A 5.0L 302 V8 Engine.
A 4-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission.
185 HP
270 lb.-ft of Torque
A Twin Traction Suspension System.
A 1,500-pound Payload Capacity.
A 7,500-pound Towing Capacity.
The 1986 F-150 delivered exceptional performance - and it helped to develop the innovations that would later arrive. Ford took its own designs to the next level, bringing drivers the results they need.
