2015 Ford F-150 Sneak Peek

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich.- A few months ago the Ford Atlas concept truck debuted at the Detroit Auto Show. Some felt it may have been our first glimpse at the next generation Ford F-150. Well, you can't quite tell if it is indeed the Atlas, but what's believed to be the 2015 Ford F-150 has been spotted while out testing! The 2015 Ford F-150 Sneak Peek doesn't exactly reveal every detail, but we do notice a few shocking details.

It's obvious that the next generation F-150 is still in early development. However, the spy shots reveal that it retains the chrome Gillette-style front grille present on the current F-150. The most notable detail that stands out in these photos is that there are only five-lug wheel hubs which means that this could be a prototype for a lighter duty pickup truck like the Ford F-100.  Trucks with higher payload ratings, like the current Ford F-150 usually have six or seven-lug hubs.

Thanks to advanced metals, the 2015 Ford F-150 will be 700 pounds lighter and will enjoy improved fuel economy. This also offers the option for a smaller engine which is encouraged by the tiny split exhaust tips. Current Ford trucks have larger exhausts. Gas mileage is increased even further by the significant improvements in aerodynamics on the next generation Ford truck.

Stay tuned for more 2015 Ford F-150 Sneak Peeks! But until more information is released, check out the 2013 Ford F-150 Brochure and remember that we can help you save with Ford F-150 Rebates! Family owned and operated since 1946, Roy O'Brien Ford is located at 22201 E. 9 Mile Rd.
