Ford F150

Ford F150 Reviews

The Ford F150 series of pickup trucks are half-ton trucks. Ford offers the 2011 F150 with a choice of four power plants: a 3.7-Liter Four Valve TI-VCT V6, a 5.0- Liter four-valve dual overhead camshaft TI-VCT V8, a 6.2-Liter Two-Valve Single Overhead Camshaft V8 and their all new 3.5-Liter TI-VCT Ecoboost V-6.We were really impressed with such economy on a four-wheel drive equipped truck.

New clusters include the available 4.2-inch LCD message center screen’s menu options display, which features information related to fuel economy, towing performance and off-roading. Two technology stalwarts of Ford trucks are available again for 2011 – SYNC and Ford Work Solutions. Ford works hard to continually improve the safety of their workhorse vehicles. New for the 2011 Ford F-150 are a seat-integrated shoulder belt for the front middle seat, a head restraint for the second-row middle seat and integrated spotter mirrors. Joining the XLT lineup is the new XLT Custom package tailored for customers who opt for the 3.7-liter V6. Available in all cabs in two-wheel-drive configuration, the XLT Custom exterior includes 18-inch machined aluminum wheels, chrome exhaust tip, body-color 4-inch running boards, body-color front and rear bumper fascias, unique grille with body-color surround and chrome billet insert.

The 2011 Ford F-150 Pickup Trucks. Beyond the new engines, reviewers have only positive things to say about the 2011 Ford F-150. --The Silverado is available in a fuel-efficient Hybrid model and regular Silverado trucks start out $1,565 cheaper than the base F-150.

The 2011 Ford F-150 is available in 11 different trims, not including the different cab configurations (regular, extended or crew), bed lengths (5.5 feet, 6.5 feet, or 8 feet), or engine choices (two V6’s and two V8’s).

A base 3.7-liter V6 produces 302-horsepower and a 5.0-liter V8 with 360-horsepower are the two bottom rung engines. Surprisingly positioned above the 5.0-liter V8, Ford is introducing a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6 with 365 horsepower.

2011 is certainly not an uneventful model year for the Ford F-150 pickup lineup—it marks the most extensive overhaul of the big pickups powertrain in almost 62 years of production.

The fourth option: Fords 3.5-liter, twin-turbo Ecoboost V-6, an unlikely but completely common-sense alternative to V-8 thirst and thin V-6 torque. Once upon a time, a Ford with a turbo V-6 would have been laughed out of any serious truck owners stall; but thanks to modern electronic engine controls and some innovation on the engineering side at Ford, thats all changed. Fords 3.5-liter Ecoboost V-6 feels just as stout as a V-8 and is just as formidable for towing and hauling, while sipping regular unleaded at V-6 rates.

In entry-level spec, a Ford F-150 with this engine gets 302 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque to work with. Base V-6 models can tow up to 6,100 pounds, and the 5.0-liter models will tow close to 10,000 pounds.

Ford made some significant packaging improvements with the last redesign; the floor of the rear seating area is now completely flat, and when the rear seats fold up (they nest effortlessly into a compact package against the rear cab wall), a huge parcel can be accommodated behind the front seats.

In any of its trims, the 2010 Ford F-150 now offers a complete safety package, front side airbags, full-length side-curtain bags, anti-lock brakes, and stability control all standard. Premium Sony sound systems are available, as are SNYC (Fords voice-activated media and phone interface) and Sirius Travel Link (that provides navigation plus real-time traffic, weather, and fuel prices among other features).
