All-New Ford F-150: Toughest, Smartest, Most Capable F-150 Ever Delivers Industry-Leading Towing, Payload Performance

• Dealers and consumers across the United States start testing the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 ahead of its arrival in dealerships later this year

• All-new F-150 delivers industry’s best towing and payload capability among full-size pickups; F-150 can tow 12,200 pounds and haul 3,300 pounds

• Regardless of model configuration or engine choice, every truck customer benefits from up to 700 pounds of weight savings with the 2015 F-150; F-150 can tow up to 1,100 more pounds, haul up to 530 more pounds and is projected to deliver fuel economy ratings in the range of at least 5 percent and as much as 20 percent higher gas mileage than today’s truck, depending on the model

The 2015 Ford F-150 – the reinvention of America’s favorite pickup – is winning early praise as it sets the standard for the future of tough, thanks to the all-new vehicle’s impressive combination of power, capability and efficiency.

This month, the first of 10,000 dealer sales consultants began test driving the new truck in 26 cities nationwide. Performance driving and competitive towing exercises are underscoring the industry’s best towing and payload capability among full-size pickups – the all-new F-150 can tow 12,200 pounds and haul 3,300 pounds.

Overall, the 2015 F-150 is the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 ever. Regardless of model configuration or engine choice, every truck customer benefits from up to 700 pounds of weight savings the new truck delivers. The all-new F-150 can tow up to 1,100 more pounds, haul up to 530 more pounds and is projected to have fuel economy ratings in the range of at least 5 percent and as much as 20 percent better gas mileage than today’s truck, depending on the model. (Specific gas mileage numbers for the entire lineup will be certified by the U.S. EPA, likely in November, and announced at that time.)

“Once again, Ford F-150 establishes new standards in durability, capability, technology and efficiency,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of The Americas. “We keep raising the bar on America’s favorite truck to help F-150 owners be more productive 24/7 – whether for work or weekend fun.”

23 mpg + 20% = 28 mpg

 

You forgot this....

•3.5-liter EcoBoost: This twin-turbo EcoBoost engine delivers V8-like 420 lb.-ft. of torque and 365 horsepower to enable towing of up to 12,200 pounds – more than enough to handle a fully loaded, three-horse trailer or large boat. It has earned an industry-leading maximum payload rating of 3,180 pounds
•5.0-liter V8 with twin independent variable camshaft timing: Improved power and efficiency, delivering 385 horsepower and 387 lb.-ft. of torque. Smart engineering enhancements such as a new long-runner intake manifold, revised intake cam duration and new pulse-separated exhaust manifolds help raise towing capability by 1,100 pounds to a maximum 11,100 pounds, and payload to 3,300 pounds

 

UP TO 28 mpg. Depending on engine and package, should be equal to or better than the new Colorado.

Also just confirmed: Aluminum Super Duty:

Surprised the Eb in the trucks didnt get anymore power, But yet the Eb in the Navigator is at 385hp..

Maybe they are trying to boost sales on the 5.0 since it got another 25hp??

Either way the towing and payload look fabulous

 

I could see the 5.0 becoming the top motor. I think they have squeezed all they could out of the Ecoboost. and the 5.0 is averaging the same real world MPG's as a comparable ecoboost set up. maybe a 5.0 ecob∞st is in the works? would work great as a baseline super duty motor. 5.0 fuel economy V-10 power?

 

It's actually 380 hp on the Navigator, but isn't that all marketing? The Navigator is rated at 380 hp because it is advertised using premium 93 octane.

The F-150 needs to be marketed using regular 87 octane and will get you the advertised 365 hp / 420 lb-ft and using 93 octane should get you 380 hp / 460 lb-ft of torque.

Do you notice a difference between running premium and regular?

 

Ummmm no, look what just a tune will do for an EB that's just a software update. The BW K04 series turbo bolts right up to the K03s it currently uses. That would be a very sizeable jump. The rest of the engine is already capable of a lot more power. I suspect it's the rest of the drive train isn't up to much more torque from the factory. With the rumors about new trannys coming soon it wouldn't be worth the $$$ to change the parts when they are still near the top of the market in power.

The other companies all have a V8 on the market with similar power. As is often said on here, "I just gotta have a vee ate, dem little six bangers are get sissies!" The power bump makes the 5.0 more competitive in this aspect.

 

This^^^

I'm glad to see the 5.0 get a power bump. I've heard non-Ford people refer to it as a "small" V8. Maybe smaller compared to the 5.7s and 6.0s out there (and yeah even the 5.3), but I've defended it every time. It's a very capable V8, but I agree, the power bump will help it be more competitive. I guess it's just too close to 300 cubic inches for some people's comfort. I always thought it was a perfect compromise after the end of the 5.4 and 4.6.

 

The Eb isnt close to being maxed out in its stock form

Oh Yea, but i got one of them little computer thingys that you plug in under the steering wheel and it makes the truck super fast on 91 octane

In all seriousness i didnt notice ANY difference between 87 and 91 when i was running stock

 

I believe the concept is 5.0 fuel economy, 6.2 power.

 

There are some "size queens", that's fo sho!

The way I have seen it broken down the 5.0 was the replacement for the 4.6 and the EB was the 5.4 replacement.

 

The 3.5 EB isn't finished yet. Expect the power bump to be for the 2017 F-150 along with upgraded parts, Auto Start Stop, and a 10 speed.

 

That would personally suck for me as I just shelled out 50k for a new one. Oh well, I get the good stuff next go around...


I wonder what the stock platform ecoboost is capable of handling? 650-700hp?

 

I think the 3.5 EB fuel in the crank issue may be the x factor here. The latest reported fix for the 11-14 trucks is not new hardware, its new programming; change the fuel spray pattern into two smaller bursts etc. The obvious question is what does this do to HP/TQ. I would suggest Ford needs to fix this issue 100% before they increase power. This issue seems to only be on the 3.5EB. Maybe a new 3.5+L is coming for 17+. Using the same new tech in the 2.7L?
