2017 Ford F-150

The perfect “10”, as if you thought the most popular pickup around couldn't get any better.  It did!  Of course, we are talking about the new Ford F-150 for 2017. 

One in your favorite color and style is waiting for your inspection with the friendly folks at Hixson Ford of Leesville today!

So what is all the excitement about?  It starts with Ford's first 10-speed automatic transmission and that is not a typo. It does have 10 gears!  This new transmission is available with all the new F-150's.  The smooth shifting system is designed to improve acceleration over the outgoing 6-speed and sets a new standard among pickups.  Ford is ahead of the pack again. 

It comes with three overdrive gears and a wider span enabling lower rear axle ratios. This will help improve fuel economy at highway speeds while still maintaining good towing efficiency.  The driver even has a display on the dash of the F-150 that shows which of the transmission's 10 speeds the pickup is engaged in.  How cool is that?   Those Ford engineers just don't sit on their hands when they know they already had a winner. 

For example, they adopted new adaptive shift-scheduling systems that monitor more than a dozen power train and driver control signals to make sure the right gear is used at the right time.  Bet you can't wait for that enjoyable test drive and we don't blame you as you will also experience that all new engineering V6 that mates with this awesome 10-speed that delivers smooth shifts and quick acceleration. 

This aggressive V6 has new Turbochargers with greater volume and higher boost pressure.  The energetic 3.5-liter EcoBoost is all American made and produces 375 thoroughbreds and an awesome pavement grabbing 470 lb-ft of torque that will keep you and yours ahead of traffic and competition in the rear view mirror.  This setup still has a towing capacity over 12,000 pounds.  Yes indeed, this new Ford pickup just puts everything together especially in the “Fun Factor” and having the new industry first 10-speed automatic transmission at your fingertips and power under the stylish hood. 

It is without a doubt that this new Ford F-150 should continue to be America's best-selling vehicle for a 40^th year in a row.  All this new technology with F-150's bold styling and upscale interior will continue to be a winner with high customer satisfaction.
