2016 Ford F-150 Overview

The Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck in America for the last 38 years and with a starting MSRP of just $26,315, plus a slew of other advanced options, there’s no reason why the 2016 Ford F-150 can’t stretch that streak to 39 consecutive years.

The 2016 Ford F-150 is available in six trim levels: XL, XLT, LARIAT, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. Every trim is available with standard 4×2 wheel drive and optional 4×4 wheel drive.

For the 2016 model year, the Ford F-150 will come available with a variety of new features, such as its new Pro Trailer Backup Assist technology that uses advanced camera equipment to make it easier to launch a boat or park your truck. The 2016 F-150 also comes available with Ford’s newest entertainment system, SYNC® 3, which features a new touchscreen, quicker responsiveness, enhanced voice recognition, and what Ford calls an “easier-to-understand graphical interface.” Additionally, the 2016 Ford F-150 will offer special appearance packages for the XLT and LARIAT that add 20-inch wheels and special edition seats, among other items.

2016 Ford F-150 Exterior

Just like last year, the exterior of the 2016 Ford F-150 will feature an aluminum body, which is made with military grade aluminum alloy. In an effort to further improve fuel economy, Ford has made the new F-150 even sleeker than previous models, making it difficult to find a right angle anywhere on the vehicle. The 2016 Ford F-150 will also come standard with halogen headlamps, 17-inch silver steel wheels, and a black three-bar style grille with black nostrils.
