There are no cars in the world runs frequently from the band as the Ford F-150. Pick Up the mighty dominated for several decades, sales of U.S. statistics. While the Americans could teach elegance of a very capable workhorse and moderate drinking habits.

What Germany has a VW Golf America is the Ford F-150 - best-selling book and a car for every situation. Ford F-150 always looks impressive. Tense time of the 80s and early 90s more. Likewise, rounded organic shapes in the second half of the 90s slandered all U.S. models. Ford, one of the three major U.S. producers, who remain without the generous gift of three in the game is on the way back to its original strength. Along with the new Ford Focus and Mustang sporty all-purpose weapon practical capstone F-150 in the model program. Full-size pickup trucks, such as America, a large SUV-type Dodge Ram, Toyota Tundra, Chevrolet Silverado, or even a Ford F-150 calls, at the entrance to the urban areas of San Diego or Miami would be like a ranch in Texas or in the area rugged mountains along the Canadian border. Every person in the U.S. such as the F-150 and almost everyone has ridden.

While the pick-up in Europe never managed to break right, they are in North America since the 50's on all cars sold at most. Top dog is, since 1948 Ford F-150 and is the volume of even the best-selling book VW Golf Europe in the shade. Let the Wolfsburg Blue Motion technology, a small displacement and turbocharging lower consumption, looks like a large-scale counterparts in the United States a lot.Dearborn was a hard worker in the Ökotrip.

All-wheel drive for true off-road 
Of course, Ford has, as the competition is still a powerful V8 engine in it vibrates.But the new jewel of the range of 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine engine that makes 370 hp and maximum torque of 590 Nm. He can pull a magnificent four-wheel drive 5.3 tonne trailer and tow behind almost 1.3 tons. That is about twice as much as the basic model 302-horsepower Ford F-150 7.3 V6 turbocharged. In order for the vehicle sticking out of the battle near Detroit, and even competition from the Dodge RAM 5.7 V8 and 5.4 at the Toyota Tundra pocket. With all the power EcoBoost engine is relatively frugal. Ford promises, depending on the speed of 15 to 21 miles per gallon. In fact, it can transfer the power pick-up at around 17-18 miles per gallon.Calculated is almost 15 liters of Super per 100 kilometers. On the road again to encourage consumption to less than twelve liters. That's about 30 percent less than a few years ago. Comparison with the car aside: F 150 is not a vehicle for the highway, but a hard worker who did not fail even under extreme conditions.

3.5-liter six-cylinder engine pushing hard after a short delay. Even under maximum load conditions, there is little difference between the V8 engine. Doubly-charged V6 engine is revving six-gear automatic and may sometimes make people feel a little reluctant. Stark is the F-150 FX4 off-road. Cleated to ensure the desired 20-inch wheels, nearly 22 inches of ground clearance four-wheel drive and differential lock on rear axle. The all-wheel drive is always able to manually switch. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 to create four-wheel drive in about nine seconds. Top speed is around 170 km / h. This is the cost of poor aerodynamics and open bed values ​​are better.


The cabin is easy, but comfortable 

An expensive Pick Up is a bad pick-up
5.89 meter long F-150 Supercab Ford FX-4 not only because of its sheer size looks impressive. You can go up into the cab and started officially looking for other cars at traffic lights down almost pity. Current-generation F-150 has been strong in the interior. Pulpit job last year, the more likely associated with a large excavator cabin, has disappeared. If you are familiar with a few instruments playing, people will be along very well. Who the F-150 starts, visible between the two on-screen analog clock multi-color multi-function inscription "Built Tough" is not only the impression the first time.

Switches and controls did not differ significantly from those known crossover Ford.Seats are large and all-round visibility is very neat, although the size. Invisible space behind the camera illuminate the cargo door of the mini-projects for the somewhat blurry image in the rearview mirror. A feature that accident prevention in Europe and even the shipping is much more complex not standard.

However, where the vehicle is placed in smaller classes Totwinkelassistenten electronic length mirror, there are F-150 one of the positions Totwinkelspiegel happy. Does not look much and limit the field to the rear. As inhabited and adhesion to the interior of the Ford F-150 sedan now presents, so little has been done on driving behavior. The rule that you must move the pickup with an empty cargo area with caution, is still recognized. Dearborn-load cargo without a donkey is a very bumpy ride on the rear axle. Do not forget that the passengers who had climbed on the back of the hinged door Supercab. Once again, can stand in soft leather chair.On the back of a steep, but you must be familiar with the type of construction as well as the angle of 90 degrees to the rear windows, central hatch can be opened electrically.

Practical: it is in the center console not only a lot of space for objects of all kinds, but also a 110 volt outlet. Customer Pick-Up, maybe just like in practice.

This is true even for the price. An expensive Pick Up is a pick up bad - it's not just in Texas. A success of the Ford F-150 is a competitive price. The basic model starts with a small cabin just under $ 24,000. Well-equipped Ford F-150 FX4 3.5 EcoBoost will cost at least $ 38,475 - equivalent to € 28,500. A lot of car for the money, because dealers pass on the pick-up model in a strong discount page.Whether, for weapons purposes of Dearborn, the bottom line does not pay more than € 23,000. For money in the VW Golf diesel 100 hp class with basic equipment
