Yesterday’s meaning of tough — heavy strength — has changed forever with high-strength military-grade aluminum alloy replacing conventional steel in the cab/bed of the stronger yet lighter Ford F-150. Not aluminum in the household sense but heat-treated and hardened aluminum alloy — the same high-grade 6000-series used in big military and industrial applications. Idea became reality with new computer-aided design technology followed by F-150 prototypes subjected to over 16 million cumulative kilometres of torturous testing on Ford proving grounds and real world job sites. Today yesterday’s old meaning of tough lies far behind in the F-150 driver’s rear-view mirror.

Doing something the right way often results in multiple benefits. Case in point: going from steel to high-strength military-grade, aluminum alloys in the F-150 cab and bed. Hardening aluminum alloy through heat-treating produces greater strength. Working with aluminum alloy also allows engineers to increase gauge (or thickness) where needed to achieve extra strength without increasing weight. The stronger F-150 weighs up to 700 pounds less than the previous generation, resulting in greater power-to-weight ratio, enhanced fuel efficiency, plus higher max payload and tow ratings that are best-in-class*. Yet another benefit — resistance to dents and corrosion.

Tough jobs require trucks that can take all the dirt and heat thrown at them — and then some. But while your truck must be built to work hard, you can work smart. That’s why Ford engineers have gone to great lengths to make the current generation of the F-150 so easy to operate, whether you’re inside the cab or working out of the pickup bed. F-Series offers a broad range of available features from the integrated tailgate step and deployable box side
