THE 2018 FORD F-150. Even tougher. Even smarter. Even more capable. And winner of the 2018 Motor Trend Truck of the Year. As part of the legendary F-Series lineup that has been Americas best-selling truck for 41 years, F-150 proves itself. Dont just take our word for it. It was unanimous, says Motor Trend. The Ford F-150 is Motor Trends 2018 Truck of the Year. It was a pretty resounding win. Nothing really came close. Ford F-150. It does not just raise the bar. It is the bar. Ford F-150 is the 2018 Motor Trend Truck of the Year. Ford silences its critics with a midcycle F-150 that is simply dominant. Ford gambled more than $1 billion and abandoned seven decades of steel bodywork to create a 2015 F-150 with an aluminum body. Dropping a claimed 700 pounds would improve fuel economy, increase towing capacity, improve power-to-weight ratios, and create a truck with fewer parts subject to rust. The move was bold and expensive. Two truck plants closed for 13 weeks each to gut the body shop. Months of downtime meant the lost sale of 60,000 trucks valued at $40,000 or higher, followed by a slow rollout. Ford endured a year of lost market share and profits. Critics called it an unnecessary and costly mistake. Fast-forward to today. For 2018 Truck of the Year testing, Ford gave us four variants to show the breadth of the changes under the hood. Ford has been busy... the interiors have gotten nicer, the infotainment system more intuitive, the steering better. The F-150 chassis is stupendous, the innovations have increased, and it has earned an NHTSA five-star safety rating. Do your best then reap the rewards...They are rich in the 2018 Ford F-150 Lariat. Starting with 10-way power, heated and cooled, leather-trimmed driver and front-passenger seats. A large flow-through front center console with leather-trimmed console lid includes a leather-wrapped floor shifter. Ambient lighting brightens the foot-wells and other areas in one of 7 hues.
