2015 Ford F-150 Offers Industry Leading Payload & Towing Ratings

JACKSON, Mich. – Are you ready for this? When the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 goes on sale later this year, it will become the toughest, smartest, and most capable F-150 ever, and will set the standard for the future of tough. This is one truck that you do not want to mess with, unless you're interested in the industry's best towing and payload performance because the 2015 Ford F-150 offers the segment's best towing and payload ratings!

Trumping the capabilities of any other light duty truck, the 2015 Ford F-150 offers industry leading payload and towing ratings in addition to fuel economy improvements of 5-20%!

Whatever your truck needs may be, the 2015 Ford F-150 offers an engine option to fit them perfectly:

It has earned an industry-leading maximum payload rating of 3,180 pounds
