There's also a new lariat Limited trim levels, revised feature availability and the adoption of electric-assist power steering. Well, the 2011 Ford F-150 suffers no such weakness.Ford F-150 This also marks the first time That Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine has Appeared in a rear-wheel-drive product, and it's Perhaps the vehicle in the which this engine feels most at home.
Ford has always touted the EcoBoost V-6 as a downsizing measure, claiming the V-8 power with V-6 fuel economy. For example, a 5.0-liter-equipped F-150 got 14 mpg in our hands, the same as this EcoBoost truck. The EcoBoost engine's primary advantage over the 5.0-and even the Ford 6.2-liter V-8-is fleetness; of course, that requires a heavy foot. The cheapest EcoBoost model is a two-wheel-drive F-150 XL with heavy-duty package and an eight-foot bed ($ 28.185), but our test vehicle was not cheap. This truck also included the FX Luxury package ($ 1,950): power adjustable pedals, a power sliding rear window, automatic climate control, a sound-system upgrade, backup sensors, a rearview camera, remote start, and heated power front leather buckets.
