The Ford F-150 is America's best selling vehicle. Yup, that's right, the Toyota Camry, Ford Focus and Volkswagen Jetta look up to the F-150. For the 2015 model year Ford didn't just want to do a simple refresh, instead the boys and gals at Ford went back to the drawing board. Collectively they dreamed up the dream truck. Drivetrain enhancements, a comfier cabin and a rock solid frame are among the many innovations built-into the 2015 F-150. Ford showed off the truck yesterday at the Detroit Auto Show.

Trucks need to be brawny and more often than not they exude toughness, but they need to be comfortable and practical. Massaging seats make sure that your crew is ready to get to work after a long drive to the construction site. 400 Watt outlet ensure that no walkie-talkies will die. And if you purchase a 2015 model for your company you can be sure that the truck well-equipped to handle anything. With numerous safety features the new F-150 doesn't take any chances.

The Examiner had some more information from Ford regarding the truck:

"The truck is boasting 11 new class-exclusive features on the 2015 F-150, to give it the edge over its competition ... A 360-degree camera view aids parking and maneuvers, enhanced by trailer hitch assist -- a camera that superimposes lines onto the rear view camera to help drivers line up truck and trailer when maneuvering."

Gas mileage and curb weight used to be afterthoughts when it to designing an F-150. But that is no longer the case due to environmental concerns and ever rising fuel costs. The 2015 F-150 EcoBoost engine wil provide improved fuel economy over the 2014 model. And like all trucks, the F-150 uses aluminum for certain parts of the truck. Where the F-150 differs is its use of aluminum, not steel, for the frame, the truck bed, and everything else. Steel is stronger than aluminum, but it's also a lot heavier. More weight equals less gas mileage and nobody wants that. Less weight can also provide more towing capacity according to CNET.

But in order to make sure the new all-aluminum F-150 could cope with the rigors of real-world usage Ford found a couple of guinea pigs. The real world testing exceeded Ford's expectations that an all-aluminum truck could be as durable as a steel based model, while being more versatile.

The Examiner also gleaned some information about the truck's build quality:

"Its new restyle aside, the most interesting and apparent development with the new body is the truck's very construction, which is now aluminum in an effort to reduce overall weight. There's only so much you can do with a full size truck body sitting on a steel chassis, but the upshot is a reduction in weight of up to 700 lbs compared to the previous model -- a not insignificant figure and one that should aid the F-150's performance, handling characteristics and of course, efficiency."

The new F-150 seems to live up to the company motto: Built. Ford. Tough.
