2018 Ford F-150

Ford Motor Company probably had to build a bigger trophy case due to the overwhelming popularity of the new 2018 Ford F-150 pickup.  Car and Driver awarded the F-150 the Best Large Pickup for 2018, Consumer Reports gave it their Top Pick for a full-sized pickup and Motor Trend placed the Ford F-150 as their Truck of the Year.  But don't take anyone's word for it and just do your own due diligence with an up close and personal inspection with the friendly folks at Hixson Ford located at 2506 MacArthur Drive in Alexandria, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 318.448.0871 and take your expectations for a spin. Easy as that.

The Ford F-150 series has been leading the pack for many years and not about to give up that slot.  From construction sites to school drop-off zones this pickup masters many roles to the delight of its proud and very satisfied owners.  Just ask one.  For 2018, Ford gave its famous All-American pick up some serious and well deserved updates.   It has been three model years since Ford gave the F-150 the military grade aluminum body, new efficient engines, updated towing and the new 10-speed automatic. 

This year the upgrades continue with two new power plants, handsome styling tweaks and more modern technology.  You can now choose from six engines, such as the new base aspirated 3.3-liter V6 that has added horsepower, torque and fuel economy.  The V6 has enough get up and go for the daily driver and is mated with a smooth shifting 6-speed automatic.  Also back again is the very popular 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 that punches out 325 lively horses with increased torque to 400 lb-ft and is mated with the 10-speed automatic. This combo really hits the sweet spot in your drive times. 

Quick on its feet and so enjoyable, while fun to drive and especially to be seen in.  Now if you need a brute for heavy hauling and towing, then take a look at the Ford F-150 with the “Big Eight”.  This 5.0-Liter eight comes with that low throttle growl which delivers nearly 400 lb-ft of asphalt/dirt grabbing torque and the highest towing capability in its class.  Want even more torque power, then the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 is at your service with an awesome 470.  The other new features zero in on the exterior of the F-150 for 2018 with more masculine grille designs that really make a statement of pure power.  

Inside, the interior can be as practical or as plush as you desire with even massaging front seats.  You also have available an updated Sync3 infotainment system with 4 GLTE WiFi hot spot, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto at your fingertips.  Everything you need for communication, entertainment and safety.  Your office on wheels. Everything just comes together with the 2018 Ford F-150 and one is waiting for you to fit your budget and styling. 

Now couldn't be a better time. The bet is on that you will leave with a smile, not only because you brought back that “fun factor” in your drive times, but for the great deal you received.
