The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since the 1948 model year. The F-Series is marketed as a range of full-sized pickup trucks positioned above the midsize Ranger but below the larger Super Duty in the Ford truck lineup. [1]
Ford's 10-speed 10R140 TorqShift automatic transmission was now standard with the diesel and 7.3-liter gasoline engines on the F-250 and all engines on the F-350; the 6-speed was still available, but only in the F-250 with the 6.2-liter engine and even the F-350 XL DRW with the Payload Package of the same engine (though this is a rare option).
The model line shares its headlights with the E-Series and hood vents with the 2011–2016 Super Duty (F-250 through F-550). For 2021 production, the V10 was replaced by a 7.3L V8, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. [16]
The 2006 F-150 was named Fleet Truck of the Year by Automotive Fleet and Business Fleet magazines, [8] and the 2007 models of the F-150, F-250 and F-350 were chosen Best Fleet Value vehicles in their respective categories by automotive data-analysis firm Vincentric. [9]
In sharp contrast to its predecessor, the 1999–2002 Lightning was given a payload of 800 pounds (360 kg) (half the payload of a Ranger); for 2003, the figure was raised to 1,350 pounds (610 kg). While the first-generation Lightning chassis was a hybrid of the F-150 and F-250, to save weight and lower its cost, the second-generation adopted ...
The final generation of the F-150 produced with a separate body design from the Super Duty trucks (F-250 to F-550), the twelfth generation again adopted an all-new chassis and body, also marking an extensive transition to the powertrain lineup. Alongside the all-new model design, the new generation started a model shift for the F-150.
The ninth generation of the Ford F-Series is a lineup of trucks that were produced by Ford from the 1992 to 1998 model years. The final generation of the F-Series to include a complete range of trucks from a half-ton F-150 pickup truck to a medium-duty F-800 commercial truck, this is the third generation of the F-Series body and chassis introduced for 1980.
The formula was enacted as law to limit the weight-to-length ratio of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). [4] The formula is necessary to prevent the concentrated truck's axles from overstressing pavements and bridge members (possibly causing a bridge collapse). [5] In simplified form, this is analogous to a person walking on thin ice.
