MORE STRENGTH. LESS
WEIGHT.
The F-150 body is
up to 700 lbs. lighter than the previous generation, made of
high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy. Not aluminum in the
household sense, but heat-treated and hardened aluminum alloy - the same
high-grade 6000-series used in big military and industrial
applications. Beneath this aluminum-alloy body is a fully boxed frame
made of up to 78 percent high-strength steel.
STROKES OF GENIUS
Ford
engineers have done it again with the most advanced F-150 engine lineup
ever. 2018 brings five engine choices, including the awesome high-output
450-hp 3.5L EcoBoost® in the Baja-bred F-150 Raptor. Auto Start-Stop
Technology is on all engines… and more engines feature the
segment-exclusive* 10-speed automatic. Plus, stay tuned for the new 3.0L
Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel, available spring

SMART
TECH ON THE ROAD AND OFF
The new 2018 F-150 is as
smart as it is tough, and that's saying something. It's got a payload of
innovative features that'll make just about everything you need your
truck to do a whole lot easier.
CONNECT LIKE NEVER
BEFORE
With an available SYNC® Connect-equipped
vehicle, you can use FordPass™ to track your vehicle's location and
remotely access vehicle features, such as start, lock and unlock, and
vehicle status, including fuel level. You can also schedule specific
times to remotely start your vehicle so it's ready to hit the road as
soon as you are.
BUCKLE UP. EXTREME OFF-ROADING
AHEAD.
Amazingly, with stock performance and handling
components, F-150 Raptor completed the 49th SCORE Baja 1000 with just
basic race modifications. Beneath the hood is a high-output 450-hp 3.5L
EcoBoost® engine with the Torque-On-Demand® transfer case. Exceptional
handling comes courtesy of BFGoodrich® all-terrain tires, FOX Racing
Shox™, available 4.10 front axle with TORSEN® differential, plus Terrain
Management System™ with six driver-selectable modes and Hill Descent
Control™.
