DESCRIPTION
The F-150 is Ford's bread-and-butter full-sized pickup It was freshened in 2009, and gained standard electronic stability control and a six-speed automatic transmission. Handling was secure and braking performance vastly improved. 2011 brought new engines (two V6s and two V8s), some steering improvement, and minor interior upgrades. A redesigned F-150 arrived for 2015, with an aluminum body that saved 700 pounds for better fuel economy. Updates included the transition from the oft-criticized MyFord Touch touch-screen infotainment system to Ford's new Sync 3 system, providing a big improvement in usability and response time. The 2017 model offered a new 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission.
