For more than thirty years the Ford F-150 has dominated North America, delivering best-in-class performance and power. It’s become a commercial staple, adapting to even the most rigorous work conditions. No payload proves too strong.
And now no country proves too distant.
According to AutoBlog, Ford will soon send its signature pick-up across the globe - to China. Recent economic surges have bolstered the foreign market, with performance vehicles (such as the Mustang and Fiesta ST) earning strong sales. Consumers are craving quick speeds and responsive platforms, and the F-150 should serve as an ideal complement to the recent automotive shift.
It should also make a powerful statement. In an interview with AutoBlog, Henry Ford III remarked: “It’s big and brash and uniquely American.†This will leave it few competitors in China, where compact models have (until now) dominated. The F-150 will redefine the roads and the sales charts alike.
Should the F-Series launch in China become a success, Ford intends to push its F-150 even further - with Nasdaq reporting more than 90 potential new locations. This will introduce the world to V6 performance and staggering payloads.
