It's made in America

The brand new 2015 Ford F-150 pickup truck is American through and through. It got designed in the United States, and it's built over at Dearborn in Michigan, Ford's spiritual home. Yes, it's possible to buy pickup trucks from other makes. But few can boast about being US-designed and built like the Ford F-150! The patriot in you will feel better supporting an American company and driving a car built by Americans for Americans!

There is a choice of four engines

In your search for brand new Ford F150s, you may not have noticed that the new 2015 model comes with a choice of four motors:
