FORD F150

The Ford F-150 is a pick up truckmodel , part of the F-Series of the most driven pickup trucks in America. It was the best selling vehicle, as it was the most popular pickup truck for 23 years and the most popular truck for 33 years, though this does not include combined sales of General Motor pickups. The truck was sold all over America and other parts such as Europe and Australia with millions of sales. The "F-150" is introduced in 1975 to replace the F-100 nameplate.

Ford revealed the next generation 2009 F-150 design at the North american international car show in January, 2008. Production of the series began in October 2008 at Ford's Kansa city Assembly plant. The truck features a larger and more flexible interior, an updated three-bar grille, and additional choices of cab styles and trim levels. The chassis includes lighter-weight, high strength steel for better fuel economy and safety and improved payload and towing capacity. Three engines are initially offered with the 2009 redesign: a revised 5.4 L 3-valve Triton V8 that is capable with a new output rating of 320 hp (240 kW) and 395 lb·ft (536 N·m) of torque, a 292 hp (218 kW) 4.6 L 3-valve V8, and a 248 hp (185 kW) 4.6 L 2-valve V8. The 3-valve 5.4 and 4.6 liter V8s are mated to Ford's new 6R80E 6-speed automatic transmission while the 4R75E 4-speed automatic transmission used previously is carried over for the 2-valve 4.6 L V8. The 4.2 L OHV V6 engine, which was previously available, has been dropped due to the closure of the Essex engine plant where it was produced. Additional engine offerings under development include a new 4.4 L diesel V8 with a projected 330 hp (250 kW) and 400 lb·ft (540 N·m) of torque and an Ecoboost gas turbocharged direct injection 3.5 L DOHC V6. The 4.4L diesel has been put on hold.
