Ford F150 Demonstrates Strong Appeal As The Most Powerful Towing Truck In The Market

Demand for the most recent version of the Ford F150 remains strong. With its new exterior design that's more streamlined and luxurious in appearance, paired with its stronger towing power and better fuel economy, people who love the outdoors but want a vehicle that's truly impressive overall cannot resist this pick-up truck from America's favourite and top auto brand.

For 2012, the year's Ford F150 model was hailed as the top pick by a motor trend award giving body for style, towing power and safety features. It received an impressively high safety rating among pick-up trucks within its classification. The 2013 model, on the other hand, is actually even more impressive and boasts of a lovely selection of rich colours to appeal to the aesthetics of motorists, along with body rigidity and efficient safety features that include cleverly deployed airbags. It's worth noting as well that Ford paid really great attention to detail to further redefine the truck's style, capacity and other abilities - reinforcing the auto-manufacturing company's reputation as a leader in auto development.

Underneath the F150's stylish exterior is a robust structure, designed to preserve quality and enhance driving and riding experience. The body is constructed in high strength steel which contributes greatly to the rigidity and improved weight of the truck. This improvement increases the structural efficiency of the vehicle especially for towing purposes while also helping it deliver the higher fuel efficiency it promises.

Focusing on towing strength, the claim that the 2013 F150 "out-tows and out-hauls any other truck in its class" should be enough proof of how truly powerful this truck is. It can tow a heavier trailer (with the maximum weight of 11,300 lb) and haul more cargo (with a maximum weight of 3,120 lb) than any of its rivals. It's been engineered and tested to withstand more punishment than any person could ever subject it to, claims a Ford representative. This amazing towing capability is supported by the standard trailer sway control and an available factory integrated trailer brake controller. The rep also adds that the enhanced performance created by the selectable tow/haul mode on the standard six-speed auto transmission compensates for altitude, grade and load, especially on full steep uphill terrains and downward slopes.

The 2013 Ford F150 is also expected to sweep motoring awards as it has consistently received plenty of positive feedback from testers and buyers. This model is already available in all Ford dealerships in the country.
