F-150

THERE’S NO TOUGH LIKE

BUILT FORD TOUGH

It’s more than just a brutal testing regimen. Built Ford Tough®is a battle cry. One filled with honor, courage and determination to never rest – until the job’s done right. With well over 10 million customer-equivalent miles of testing, F-150 earned its Blue Oval. Being tortured in the lab. On the proving grounds. And working in the real world. Have no doubt, this truck is engineered for the long haul. Having repeatedly passed our toughest tests, it’s more than ready for yours.

Settle into any 2019 F-150 – from the easy-to- clean vinyl seats RAPTOR – and you’ll find a truck that embraces hard work as just another day at the office. F-150 is part of the legendary F-Series lineup that’s been America’s best-selling truck for 41 years. And with more trucks on the road with 250,000 miles than any other brand, there’s nothing tougher than Ford F-Series.

GREAT STRENGTH. LESS WEIGHT. The highstrength, military-grade, aluminum alloy

of the F-150 body and cargo box is hardened through heat treating to produce greater strength. Gauge (or thickness) is also increased where needed to achieve ex tra strength without increasing weight. Today’s F-150 now achieves best-in-class ratings for: overall towing, an available diesel EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 30 mpg hwy.

RESISTS CORROSION. WON’T RUST. Another amazing benefit of high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy. But what about the F-150 frame? The entire high-strength-steel frame is immersed in an e-coat solution while an electric charge is applied. This forms a durable protective shell that bonds with the steel to help inhibit rust, even in hidden areas.

THE ST RONGEST FRAME EVER CRE ATED for F-150 is a fully boxed, modular foundation comprised of 78% high-strength steel. This highly rigid structure enhances stiffness and durability.

8 RUGGED CROSSMEMBERS (5 are throughwelded) and large cross-section frame rails form the per fect foundation for our revolutionary truck body and cargo box.

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 high -strength-steel frame structure. A patented 12-sided design in the high-strength-steel front frame horn improves front-impact protection, compared to a traditional rectangular design, by helping to dissipate crash energy. Additional through-welded crossmembers bolster side-impact protection.

FORD F-150

It won’t be any easier this year. The High- Output 3.5L EcoBoost®engine that produces a best-in-class 510 lb.-ft. of torque1 is now standard on two 2019 F-150 models: the Baja-bred RAPTOR and luxurious LIMITED. With the addition of blistering performance to its truckload of amenities, the new F-150 LIMITED redefines what a luxury pickup truck can be. Again.

ENGINES

3.3L Ti -VCT V6

Equipped with the standard powerplant, F-150 supplies plenty of working power to tow and haul. That’s a clean sweep in any truck buyer’s ledger. “Even the base 3.3L V6 had zero trouble hauling a 5,000-pound trailer,” says Motor Trend.

A dual-injection system features both direct injection and port fuel injection. Two injectors per cylinder – one mounted in the intake port and another inside the cylinder – improve power output and efficiency. A 6-speed automatic t ransmission with Select Shift® capability is paired with the 3.3L Ti-VCT V6 engine.

2.7L ECOBOOST

To understand an engine’s specif ic output, divide its horsepower by its displacement. At a staggering 120 hp/L, you’ll know why the 2.7L EcoBoost® is deemed “Pocket Hercules.” It produces more torque (400 lb.-ft.) than the 5.3L V8 in the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado – an engine nearly twice it s size. For exceptional dr iveability, the 2.7L paired with our 10-speed automatic transmission with Selec tShift capability. “Drop the hammer, and the transmission instantly selects the ideal ratio for peak acceleration from your current speed, always landing in a sweet spot along the broad, flat torque curve and frequently delivering a sharp jolt of acceleration. Yeehaw!” says Motor Trend. Strength and durability come from compacted

5.0L Ti -VCT V8

32 valves. Twin independent variable cam timing. Dual-injection system. 12:1 compression ratio. They all combine to make the trusted 5.0L V8 engine capability. Plus, nothing else sounds quite like it. The V8 is paired with t he 10-sp eed automati c transmiss ion with Selec tShift cap ability.

An available, class-exclusive CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package can ready your V8-equipped 2019 F-150 to be upfit for compressed natural gas (CNG), propane autogas, or as a bi-fuel vehicle with the ability to switch between CNG or propane and gasoline.
