LOADED WITH INNOVATION.
TO CARRY THE MOST PUNISHING LOADS.
Our first-in-class breakthrough – a truck body and bed
made from high-strength, military-grade, aluminum
alloys – trims weight to help create a 2016 Ford F-150 that
accelerates forcefully. Stops quickly. And leads its class
in maximum towing and payload capacity, as well as gas
EPA-estimated highway fuel economy.
We collaborated with experts to formulate this metal.
Then we made it stronger. It doesn’t rust. It resists corrosion.
It’s dent- and ding-resistant. In other words, it’s engineered
to stand up to punishment.
1
To carry all this material innovation, we created the
strongest frame ever in an F-150. High-strength steel now
comprises up to 78% of its fully boxed, modular frame. This
incredibly sturdy metal infuses the 8 rugged crossmembers
(5 are through-welded) and large cross-section frame
rails. Enhancing stiffness. And durability.
Since the truck weighs less, you can haul more. Tow
more. And do it all more efficiently. That’s just a smarter
way to work. And play. The 2016 Ford F-150.

THE SAFEST F-150
EVER.
The 2016 Ford F-150 received the government’s highest
safety rating for every cab configuration: a 5-Star Overall
Vehicle Score.
To help reduce crush into the passenger compartment
in certain front, side and rear impacts, a masterful mix
of high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys works
together with a unique frame structure. A patented 12-sided
design in the high-strength-steel front-frame horn helps
improve front-impact protection, helping dissipate crash
energy. Additional through-welded crossmembers bolster
side-impact protection. An extruded rocker reinforcement
helps reduce cab intrusion in certain front- and side-impacts,
while roof strength is reinforced by a hydroformed roof
rail supported by an extruded closed-section roof bow.
First-in-class inflatable rear safety belts
occupants join 6 standard airbags to enhance driver
and passenger protection. To reduce injury risk in certain
collisions, the fully inflated rear safety belt distributes
crash energy across 5 times more of an occupant’s body
than a non-inflatable safety belt.

BUILT FORD TOUGH.® TO ENDURE
THE MOST IMPORTANT TESTS OF ALL.
Yours. We know what you do to your trucks. At work, you
punish them. Loading. Hauling. At play, you push them.
Mudding. Pulling the heaviest of loads. So it’s good to
know you’re starting with a truck that has already passed
our toughest tests.
Built Ford Tough is our measure of long-lasting durability.
And this is the most tested Ford F-150 ever. It’s so tough,
in fact, that we had to develop new ways to test it. From
acidified spray to the unforgiving heat and abrasive sand
of Baja, this truck’s been to hell. And back.
Engineered for the long haul, F-150 endured over 10 million
cumulative miles of testing before the first truck rolled
off the line. We applied these same standards to the F-150
engine lineup, which has proven itself over millions of miles
of harsh lab and real-world testing. The result?
Ford F-Series has more full-size pickups on the road
with 250,000 or more miles than any other full-size truck.
So from sunrise to sunset, you can count on F-150 to tow,
haul, work and play like no other. No wonder F-Series has
been America’s best-selling truck for 38 years.

to it than that.
This high-output, direct-injection twin-turbo
“Pocket Hercules” pumps out 325 hp and 375 lb.-ft.
of torque, so you’ll have up to 8,500-lb. max. towing
capacity.
3
Plus, up to 2,210-lb. max. payload capacity.3
It’s fuel efficiency – that works.
Strength and durability come from compacted
graphite iron (CGI) that forms the upper engine block and
cylinders. It’s the same material used in our rugged 6.7L
Power Stroke
®
V8 Turbo Diesel engine, allowing the block
to be smaller, lighter and stronger. The lower block and
cylinder heads are made of aluminum to save weight.
To optimize fuel usage, Auto Start-Stop is standard
with the 2.7L and can shut off the engine when the truck
comes to a complete stop. When the brake is released,
the engine restarts immediately. Tuned specifically
for rigorous truck applications, Auto Start-Stop will not
intervene when F-150 is in tow/haul mode, 4-wheel
drive (4WD) and other circumstances that require the
engine to drive essential accessories.

A WIDE RANGE OF
POWERFUL CHOICES.
Finding smarter, more efficient ways to get the job done defines F-150. With 4 available engines, all deliver on
exceptional efficiency. Without compromising capability.
2 EcoBoost® engines1 deliver remarkably balanced performance, blending potent low-end torque with impressive
efficiency. The 3.5L direct-injection, twin-turbo can tow a class-leading 12,200 lbs. The 2.7L showed its mettle
early by completing the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 off-road racecourse. Both are ready to handle whatever you
throw at them. After all, Ford EcoBoost engines now power over 800,000 F-150 trucks.
By improving power-to-weight ratios from the previous generation,2 each F-150 engine can devote more
power to your job. But that’s not all. Light-weighting helps improve their fuel efficiency as well. As does twin
independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). Plus Active Grille Shutters that can close at cruising speed to
reduce drag. A new sport mode on the standard 6-speed automatic transmission, and available SelectShift®
capability, make that power easy to engage.
A class-exclusive CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package readies your V8-equipped F-150 to be upfit
for compressed natural gas (CNG), propane autogas, or as a bi-fuel vehicle with the ability to seamlessly switch
between CNG or propane and gasoline.

ROAD MANNERS. BY THE TRUCKLOAD.
F-150 delivers “on-road manners... far better than
some cars we’ve driven,” says fourwheeler.com. Its
high-strength-steel frame provides torsional rigidity.
High-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys
reduce weight. And a double-wishbone, independent
front suspension and optimized tuning help smooth
out rough spots.
A refined brake system adds stopping confidence.
Electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) supplies
precise road feel. Staggered outboard rear shocks
add stability. The result? A driving dynamic that
inspires trust – whether the cargo bed is empty
or when working.
For enhanced control going into turns, standard
Curve Control1 can sense when you’re taking a turn
too fast. When it does, the system can slow the truck’s
speed by as much as 10 mph in about a second to
help you maintain control.
Maintain your lane with help from our Lane-Keeping
System.2 It can detect lane markings with a forwardfacing camera, and can send vibration pulses to the
steering wheel and apply steering torque, if needed, to
prompt you to steer back toward center. There’s also
a Driver Alert System that warns you in the message
center if it detects you could use a break from driving.

Pro Trailer Backup Assist
segment-first technology that makes the challenge of
backing up a trailer easier than ever. At a crowded job site,
into a garage, or almost anywhere.
Leveraging advanced camera technology with electric
power-assisted steering (EPAS), Ford engineers developed
this trailer backing system and tested it for almost a
decade. Along the way, 5 patents have been granted and
another 10 patents are pending.
™
for the 2016 Ford F-150 is
To operate the system once programmed, rotate the
control knob to indicate how much the system should turn
the trailer. Pro Trailer Backup Assist then automatically
steers the truck to turn the trailer the desired amount. The
system may limit vehicle speed to enhance the comfort
and control over a variety of road surfaces.
The result: less time to back up a trailer with improved
confidence. It even helps trailer-towing experts back up
a trailer by reducing time lost to maneuvering mistakes.
