Ford F-150 Scores Big In Dependability & Toughness

WESTLAND, Mich.––When you hear the name Ford, you might think of the slogan "Built Ford Tough". If you're a Ford truck owner, you'll know this slogan to be true, and there are many awards to prove it. The Ford F-150 scores big in dependability & toughness and has recently achieved a 2017 J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study award!

The Vehicle Dependability Study is run by J.D. Power each year based on reports from original owners of 3-year-old vehicles.

"This study measures car reliability by analyzing problems experienced over the past 12 months of ownership in such areas as: features and controls; engine and transmission;entertainment and navigation; heating and cooling; the overall driving experience, and more."

The 2014 Ford F-150 scored a 3/5 in Powertrain Dependability, and 5/5 in Feature and Accessory Dependability, Body and Interior Dependability, and Overall Dependability. This large light-duty pickup truck was among competitors such as the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Toyota Tundra, Ram 1500, Nissan Titan, and GMC Sierra 1500. 

The 2014 Ford F-150 comes available in three cab styles, 11 different trims, and four engine options, which means there's a F-150 for any need. Although this model year pickup doesn't hold a IIHS Safety Rating, it does hold ratings with NHTSA. The 2014 Ford F-150 (every cab style) received a 4/5 star rating in overall protection. 

Since 2014, the Ford F-150 has received upgrades in the body and styling, including the military-grade aluminum body, as well as in technology with SYNC 3, and more efficient engine options. In 2018 we'll be seeing a diesel option as well! The Ford F-150 has found success before and beyond the 2014 model year, which has scored big in dependability & toughness. We think you'll find it no surprise that the Ford F-150 is America's Best Selling Vehicle and has been for 40 years!

CNG-Compatible Ford F-150 To Be Sold in 2014

WESTLAND, Mich. - Ford has announced that a CNG-Compatible Ford will be sold in 2014, making it the only half-ton pickup of its kind.  CNG stands for compressed natural gas, and is a great alternative to petroleum for multiple reasons - it's cheaper, it emits less carbon dioxide, and it's something that the United State has a lot of.

After purchasing a Ford F-150, you will need to have a CNG/LPG system installed which typically costs anywhere from $7,500-$9,500 - something that's not cheap. However, it's something to consider when you think of the amount of money you spend on gas per year. A gallon of natural gas is a lot cheaper, with the national average being just over $2.00 - in some states, it's going for less than $1.00.

Not to mention you'll be using a fuel source that is domestically produced and is better for the environment.

If you are worried about not being able to find a place to fill up your CNG vehicle, not to worry. With a vehicle as popular as the F-150 taking natural gas, places that sell the fuel should pop up pretty quickly. There is also a home fueling system available for houses that are heated by natural gas. Not to mention, these Ford F-150s will also take gasoline if you find yourself in a pinch.

While the CNG-compatible Ford F-150 is to be sold in the 2014 model, production of the F-150s fitted with the prep kit will begin in November. However, Ford will start taking orders in August.

If you'd like to discuss the pros and cons of getting a CNG-compatible Ford with a Ford professional, stop by our Romulus Area Ford Dealership today! We'd be more than happy to go over the details with you and find a vehicle that is perfect for your lifestyle.
