Last year, F-150 changed the game when it arrived for the 2015 model year with an all-new design featuring a military-grade aluminum body. After making such a groundbreaking move, Ford couldn't return the truck for 2016 without following up with a new set of notable changes. As you'll soon see, the latest edition of the pickup doesn't just get added colors; it gets revisions that again set it apart from the competition while proving that Ford is dedicated to consistent innovation.
The 2016 Ford F-150 goes on sale in Phoenix this winter at Camelback Ford. When it makes it to town, these are the changes you can expect:
Pro Trailer Backup Assist
Anyone whose towed a trailer knows the pain of making time-sucking maneuvering mistakes when backing up. Now, with the 2016 F-150's cutting-edge new Pro Trailer Backup Assist option, those annoyances will be no more. The system lets users make super exact changes in direction, while watching footage on the rearview camera to see exactly where the trailer is headed. The system also takes over steering, making the process even easier. Take a look at the video to see how it works for yourself.
SYNC 3 System Replaces MyFord Touch
New infotainment technology is available on the 2016 Ford F-150, replacing the previous MyFord Touch interface. The new system is faster, better recognizes natural speech, offers a streamlined menu layout, and has new swipe and pinch controls.
CNG/Propane Engine Prep Package
For truck shoppers interested in using alternative fuels, the F-150's new CNG/propane prep package is a must-have. It's a great investment for anyone who desires to optimize fuel economy and it doesn't forfeit power. Models available with the package are appointed with the 5.0-liter V-8 and towing capacity remains the same even with the CNG/propane conversion.
Brand-New 2016 Ford F-150 Limited
Luxurious isn't necessarily a word people associate with F-150, but the debut of the Limited proves that the truck can be incredibly suave. Limited models will come with attractive eucalyptus trim, Mojave leather seats, a satin-chrome grill, chrome exhaust tips and other high-end features.
Special Edition Packages for F-150 XLT & Lariat
Adding even more versatility and ruggedness to the lineup, the XLT and Lariat offer new Special Edition packages this year. They include red contrast stitching on several key areas of the interior, red bolsters on the seats, 20-inch dark-painted aluminum wheels, smoked headlamps, and upgraded dark anodized grilles, among other awesome updates.
