Mechanical The 2015 Ford F-150's engine is a 5.0-liter V8 engine that's rated at 385 hp and 387 lb-ft and has a combined rating of 18 mpg while mated to a six-speed automatic transmission equipped with both Sport and Tow/Haul modes. Rear-wheel drive is standard and maximum towing capacities are 11,100 pounds safely with standard safety features like antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, trailer sway control, front-seat side impact airbags and full-length side-curtain airbags. Ford engineers have made extensive use of lightweight aluminum in everything from the hood and body panels to the pickup bed to help shave off as much as 700 pounds of weight in the process. It runs on factory mag 6-spoke wheels and performance black sidewall tires with 4-Wheel Disc Brakes. Interior This F-150's interior has a much classier look and feel with its Platinum Edition and materials used in this top trim level is on par with a lot of upscale sedans. Everything it is ergonomically designed in such a way that there's a padded armrest exactly where you'd want it, and frequently used controls are located right where your hand would instinctively reach for it. Ford has also added a refreshingly intuitive center stack control layout with physical volume and tuning knobs and radio station presets logically arranged above similarly old-school knobs and buttons for the climate control system. Front seats offer a commanding view and good comfort, especially the power-adjustable controls and there are plenty of generously sized pockets, cupholders, center armrest bin is positively huge, air conditioning, stereo system, and tons of amenities. Exterior The 2015 Ford F-150 Platinum makes a number of design departures from previous F-Series trucks. In a major redesign of the headlights, the rectangular headlight units were replaced with C-shaped units bracketing a trapezoidal grille. Each lamp uses one LED for the high beam, a second one for the low beam and one for the orange thermoplastic light pipe. The two beams, along with the light pipe, are then housed within one module. Ours is painted in the rich white shade with the fiberglass hard bed cover, 4-doors, electric side-steps, and the tow package. Conclusion As America's number-one-selling vehicle, the versatility of the 2015 Ford F-150 Platinum we have here at Skyway Classics cannot be understated. The aluminum body panels, which allow the truck to be as much as 700 pounds lighter than its predecessor translates to better fuel economy, better performance and increased towing and payload capacities. In addition to all of the strength and utility demanded of pickup trucks, the 2015 Ford F-150 gets high marks for comfort and interior quality. Come see it today. So give us a call at 941-254-6
