With the release of the 2016 F-150 Ford has gained much acclaim - impressing critics and drivers alike with best-in-class power (385 HP and 387 lb.-ft of torque) and exceptional payload capacities (8,500-pounds). It’s a premier pick-up, delivering enhanced performance with every mile.
The venerable F-Series has consistently delivers power, performance, and prestige. With the launch of the 2017 F-150, however, it will also deliver efficiency. A hybrid drivetrain is on the way!

Consumers crave innovation - wanting to discover new ideas and exciting experiences, trying always to find proof of progress. They embrace a bigger, better, best philosophy; and they expect their favorite brands to so the same.
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.
In 1948 Ford launched the F-Series - a line of half-ton powerhouses that delivered Flathead V8 performance, five-speed transmission, and integrated headlamps (design elements that, at the time, proved rare). These trucks were engineered for North America’s working-class.
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.
Good things do indeed come to those who wait. Never has this adage been more perfectly proven -Â because the impending release of the Ford F-150 Raptor promises exceptional performance for drivers.
For more than three decades, the F-Series has dominated the North American charts - resonating with consumers and igniting strong sales. Critical claim, however, has occasionally proven scarce. The F-150 hasn't always connected with analysts and assessors.
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.
