ork trucks in the pickup realm are
tools business owners rely on for
transporting employees, equipment
and supplies to and from jobsites
while serving as a mobile offi ce for
those whose work keeps them on the road far more than
behind a desk.
Those are the very reasons pickups with high miles
and older technology are moved out of the fl eets and
replaced by newer models that can deliver increase
productivity while reducing operating costs. Ford's 2015
F-150 defi nitely fi lls those latter requirements.
Ford's new 1/2-ton refl ects the biggest technologi-
cal advancement between models in the history of the
First Drive: 2015 F-150
2015 Ford F-150s new multi-function, multi-
feature 8-inch LCD productivity screen in the
instrument panel shows backup and 360-degree
camera views with some option packages.
Aluminum body, a more robust frame, and a new
325-horsepower twin-turbo 2.7L EcoBoost V6 are
just part of the engineering advancements Ford
used to changed the 1/2-ton pickup scene
