All-New Ford F-150 Now Available at Toothman Ford

Grafton, May 1, 2015 – The 2015 Ford F-150 – the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 ever is now available at Toothman Ford. The all-new full-size pickup delivers an impressive combination of power, capability, safety and efficiency – from advanced materials that reduce weight, improve durability and inhibit corrosion, to faster processors that enhance driving performance, to breakthrough cargo management and towing solutions.

“Toothman Ford couldn’t be more excited to offer the 2015 F-150,” said JR Toothman. “Customers have been waiting for months to check out this best-in-class truck, and now we’ve got in on display right in our showroom.”

Journalists and reporters are invited to come by and have a look at the all-new F-150. Toothman Ford’s dealer principle or any of the product specialists will be available to be interviewed on the details.

F-150 is part of the Ford F-Series truck lineup, America’s best-selling truck for 38 consecutive years and America’s best-selling vehicle for 33 years.

Toughest

?In designing the backbone of the F-150, Ford engineers improved the truck’s signature fully boxed ladder frame. It is all-new with more high-strength steel than ever – making it stronger and lighter. High-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys – already used in aerospace – are used throughout the F-150 body for the first time, improving dent and ding resistance and saving weight. Overall, up to 700 pounds of weight have been saved, helping F-150 tow more, haul more, accelerate quicker and stop shorter, and contributing to efficiency.

Smartest

Toothman Ford is excited to showcase several groundbreaking new productivity features that have debuted in the 2015 F-150. These include:

• Available 360-degree camera view uses exterior cameras to create a bird’s-eye view of the truck to help the driver park, maneuver in tight spots and navigate down narrow trails
• Available integrated loading ramps enable easy loading of ATVs, motorcycles and mowers
• Available BoxLink™ is a combination of metal brackets and custom cleats used to secure a variety of accessories in the cargo box – from ramps to storage bins to bed dividers
• Available LED headlamps and taillamps provide excellent nighttime visibility
• Available trailer hitch assist is a new rear view camera feature that adds a dynamic line based on steering wheel angle in the display to help customers line up truck and trailer without requiring a spotter or having to get out of the vehicle
• Available smart trailer tow module uses an all-new wiring harness that helps identify and inform the driver of potential trailer connectivity issues, burned or unlit trailer marker lamps, and brake light and trailer battery faults
• Available remote tailgate allows for the tailgate to be locked, unlocked and released with the key fob – eliminating manual locking and increasing convenience and security. The tailgate also is damped, dropping down, hands-free, to a flat position when opened
• Available 400-watt, 110-volt power outlets in the cab, allowing drivers to easily charge corded tools, batteries or mobile devices on-site or while driving
• LED spotlights on sideview mirrors provide powerful, durable and bright lighting around the vehicle exterior
• Latest engine technology in an available all-new, efficient 2.7-liter EcoBoost®engine that features extremely high output and lightweight design
• Available next-generation tailgate step is now fully integrated inside the tailgate and virtually invisible when not in use

Most Capable

?In addition to helping customers work smarter, F-150 features technologies that automatically assist drivers. These include:

• Available second-row inflatable safety belts work like a traditional belt but include a tubular airbag that inflates in the event of a crash and distributes the force of the impact across a wider area of the passenger’s chest
• Available Curve Control automatically provides more aggressive four-wheel braking when the truck is going into a corner too fast
• Available adaptive cruise control allows drivers to set a cruising speed and use radar technology to monitor traffic ahead and maintain a set distance between vehicles
• Available lane-keeping system is designed to help avert unintentional drifting of the vehicle outside the intended lane by automatically detecting the left- or right-hand road lane markings using a camera mounted between windshield and interior rearview mirror
• Available Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert uses radar hidden in the taillamps to detect a vehicle entering a driver’s blind spot while driving or slowly backing up

A range of four engines provides power to meet almost any customer need.
