It seems we can’t satisfy our insatiable appetite for large dual-cab pick-up trucks
with Ford Australia confirming pricing for its large F-150 due in the third quarter.
Joining the well-established RAM and newer Chevrolet Silverado pick-ups the
Ford F-150 range is now available to order and will feature two grades, XLT and
Lariat, both in short and long wheelbase, prices starting from $106,950 and
running to $140,945 for the long-wheelbase Lariat. The F150’s will be powered by
a 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 with 298kW of power and a strong 678 Nm of
torque driving through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Like their competitors
they will be fully imported from the U.S. and re-manufactured in Melbourne for
right hand drive – the short wheelbase model measures 3683mm between front
and rear axles with a 1700 mm tray – braked towing capacity rated at up to 4.5
tonnes. I’m David Berthon
