Matt O'Leary talks to KBB

The Ford F-150 Chief Engineer discusses the new F-150.

He also comments on winning the pickuptrucks.com shootout.

In the website’s annual truck "shootout," measuring driving impressions, power/pulling, features and fuel economy, F-150 emerged the winner. For details, see http://special-reports.pickuptrucks....shoot-out.html

"All the trucks we tested proved to be best in one situation or another. But overall the F-150 proved to be the most well-rounded truck to meet the widest variety of half-ton buyers’ needs," said Mike Levine, PickupTrucks.com editor. "It offers value and features the other trucks couldn’t compete with – like trailer-sway control, which can manage the traielr’s brakes and excellent road manners when towing."

Levine also said his tests confirmed F-150’s class-leading performance in two areas of particular importance to customers: towing capability and fuel economy.

Also tested were the 2009 models of Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Dodge Ram, Nissan Titan and the 2008 Toyota Tundra.

"Earning this recognition from such a discerning group of experts as PickupTrucks.com is gratifying," said Matt O’Leary, Ford’s chief engineer for the new F-150. "Their tough tests prove F-150 is the definitive full-size pickup on the market."
