For about 43 years now, Ford pick-up trucks claim to have set a global standard, with the Ford’s F-series among the best-sellers in the American car firm’s lineup.

Four decades and still counting, Ford pays homage to its F-150 pick-ups by offering two variants via the digital platform: F-150 4×4 Platinum SuperCrew AT and F-150 4×2 Lariat SuperCrew AT.

“The F-150 is definitely a strong addition to our pickup truck portfolio as we continue to lead the segment with the widest range of trucks, now totaling fifteen (15) variants. The F-150 is packed with segment-defining features and capabilities that have made it the truck of choice across America and the world,” said PK Umashankar, managing director, Ford Philippines. “We are excited to bring back this legendary Ford truck to Filipino customers who seek next-level power and refinement in their pickup.”

The F-150 powertrain is equipped with 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology, capable of generating 380PS of power and 637NM of torque. This is coupled with a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift to deliver tremendous power for heavy-duty use while staying exceptionally fuel efficient. An Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly (ESOF) 4×4 System comes equipped on the F-150 Platinum variant.
