The Ford F Series has been the best selling pickup in America 1977 and it has been the number one selling vehicle in America since 2010 with production hitting in the 500,000's. The 2011 Ford F150 Platinum is one of the most expensive trims you can get in an F150 pickup truck. The F150 has a MSRP of $22,790 for the basic trim level and tops out at $51,525 for the Harley Davidson trim level. The truck comes with several different engines the 3.5 liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine, 3.7 liter, the 5.0 liter V8 and the 6.2 liter V8 (the biggest engine the F-150 has to offer. Ford has been working on the F150 for decades with engineering style and durability as well as reliability. Ford Motor Company has come out with new EcoBoost technology that uses Variable Valve timing as well as a supercharger making the vehicle more efficient. The 3.5 liter V6 pushes out 365 horsepower and climbs from 0-60 mpg in 6.82 seconds. That is really quick for a full size pickup that is getting 16/22 city/highway. What I think: I have always been a huge fan of pickups and Ford. I have to say that I am very impressed with the engineering put into every Ford especially the F Series pickups. As gas prices are going up people are looking for more fuel efficient vehicles that are going to save them money. Yes gas prices go up but consumers are not going to stop looking for a truck that is durable and can handle most conditions the environment can give them.
