The F-150 features improvements in its look and abilities, including a redesigned, high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy body. This resulted in a tougher yet lighter frame, according to the Ford website. Ford now offers its most advanced engine capability so far, including best-in-class towing capability in certain categories. Six available engine styles offer the right level of efficiency and power for any job, including a turbo diesel option.

Ford also continues to offer best-in-class options in many categories, including payload of 3,270 pounds for pickups under 8500 pounds. Score a towing capability of up to 13,200 pounds with available options — 1,000 pounds more than last year’s model.
When you’re towing large loads, rest assured that Ford’s technology can alert you to obstructions in your vehicle’s blind spot — and in your trailer’s blind spot too. Another assist feature makes it a breeze to backup your F-150, even alerting you to possible obstructions near your trailer. Other safety features include pedestrian detection, which alerts you and even brakes for you if you don’t react in time.
High-tech features keep you connected and entertained. Fordpass Connection lets you unlock and start your vehicle remotely from an app and check your fuel level from your phone. And if you’ve ever wandered around a big parking lot, searching for your vehicle, those days are over with the app’s vehicle location feature. And the F-150’s built-in WiFi hotspot keeps you and your passengers connected for business or entertainment.
Earnhardt Auto Centers offers a complete lineup of Ford F-150 options. To learn more about this versatile powerhouse vehicle, visit Earnhardt Ford at 7300 W. Orchid Lane, Chandler. Or visit the Earnhardt Auto Centers website to shop online anytime!
