On any given job site or farm; in any given work zone, or neighborhood driveway, you are likely to see a Ford F-Series. The truck is a mainstay of the American landscape, reflecting both the labors of hard work and the rewards such pursuits bring.
Trim levels like the XL and XLT reflect a certain forthright virtue in the ability to get work done; there’s a job to do, and therefore, we do it. Simple as that. Higher grades like the King Ranch and Platinum reflect an element of rugged luxury. It’s one thing to handle the toughest jobs, it’s another to provide style and class while doing it.

Ford has really, in the last five years, swung for the fences with the F-Series. In 2011 for example, the EcoBoost was introduced in the F-150. In a world of eight cylinders, it was hard to imagine a 3.5 displacement could match something as storied as a small block V8. More recently, its the use of military grade aluminum, now comprising the entire body of all F-Series trucks, including the muscular F-150 Raptor. Now, a 10-speed automatic transmission enters the picture for the 2017 F-150. In some respects, this makes Ford trucks anything and everything but traditional. Then again, if we closely examine the history of the F-Series, we might say that’s always been the case.
