For 2013, Ford is offering eight models of the F-150 pickup (King Ranch shown) with a choice of four engines making it possible to order a version for any specific need.
Four engines, three cabs, three beds, eight models and literally millions of ways to mix and match them to a specific need is the story of the 2013 Ford F-150 pickup.
There has been a pickup in the Ford family since the Model T and the F-Series is quite literally the backbone of the blue oval.
Selling more than 10,000 units in April alone, Ford cannot allow the F-150 to stagnate as the competition is fierce. GM is about to launch its next generation Chev Silverado/GMC Sierra and (nee Dodge) RAM is coming on stronger every quarter.
To give an idea of how seriously Ford takes the battle, it put in 1.5 million hours of computer testing, 13,000 miles on the dyno and 2.5 million miles of real world testing with the F-150.
If you don’t stay head, you fall behind is the mantra I got from Ford during a day of testing the entire Ford truck lineup, including the Super Duty pickups as well as all versions of the F-150.
