Much attention is devoted to Ford’s F-150 - and rightfully so. This pickup powerhouse has redefined the North American market, delivering a series of mechanical, technological, and even structural innovations (such as using aluminum framing instead of the typical steel).

 

The Novlan team wishes to remind drivers, however, that the F-150 is part of a much larger line-up - the F-Series - and that line-up is receiving a bold new look for 2016.

 

According to The News Wheel, the F-Series will feature fifteen specific trims:

 

F-250 XL
F-250 XLT
F-250 Lariat
F-250 King Ranch
F-250 Platinum
F-350 XL
F-350 XLT
F-350 Lariat
F-350 King Ranch
F-350 Platinum
F-450 XL
F-450 XLT
F-450 Lariat
F-450 King Ranch
F-450 Platinum

 

Each of these options will boast a 6.2L V8 or a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel, ensuring steady performance on any road. Drivers may now choose the right engine and the right trim, customizing each truck to their specific needs.

When Ford announced the arrival of its 2015 F-150, critics and analysts shared doubtful stares - all curious to see how high the tallies would be, all wondering if the aluminum gambit would prove successful. There was much at stake for this pick-up’s performance.

 

Early reviews were strong. Early sales, however, were not. The F-150 struggled to find its audience, with limited production options and customer confusion undermining its success. It didn’t rev to the top of the charts. It instead stalled in the middle, leaving many to question whether it could reclaim its position as North America’s favorite truck.

 

The Detroit Free Press finally has an answer for that question - yes. The news source reports that the F-150 has finally stabilized its production schedule and regained traction among the charts, earning a 5% increase in August. This total (which translated to approximately 71,332 total units) was the highest Ford has posted since 2006, and it also launched the company’s overall profits up an impressive 6%.

Why is this so important? The F-150’s radical shift from steel to aluminum caused much concern during its initial release, with many wondering if it could maintain the necessary power, performance, and consumer appeal. With sales finally rebounding, Ford can now trust in its design choice and push forward.

We can’t wait to see what happens next!
