New Ads Show the Strength of Aluminum in 2016 Ford F-150 Trucks

New Ads Show the Strength of Aluminum in 2016 Ford F-150 Trucks

WESTLAND, Mich. –– Maybe you’ve heard competitors of Ford Motor Co. complain about the fact that the 2016 Ford F-150 is fashioned from aluminum instead of a big, heavy chunk of steel. But the Dearborn automaker has taken up the gauntlet with these haters and makes plenty of rebuttals in its new ads that show the strength of aluminum in 2016 Ford F-150 trucks.

Ford created three television spots to air throughout the 2015 NFL season, and the automaker intends to get the point across that the 2016 F-150 is the most remarkable pickup to date. Contrary to what competitors claim, these commercials provide the evidence necessary to back up Ford's aluminum alloy masterpiece.

The first ad, “Wake-Up Call,” sticks it to the man right away and boasts of the F-150’s best-in-class high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy that shaves 700 pounds from the pickup to enhance towing, payload, and gas mileage. As the unabashed narrator blatantly states, this is Ford’s wake up call, and in the truck game it’s either the aluminum age or the Stone Age.



The next ad, “Battle Tested,” is all about the new standard of safety the 2016 F-150 has set after earning a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The spot shows the pickup towing a row of custom crafted 8-foot-tall metal stars to show what it looks like to be the only full-size, light-duty pickup to earn the government’s highest safety rating for all crash test modes and cab configurations on the driver and passenger sides of a truck.



The last ad, “Brainstorm” (not shown), expands on the ingenuity found in the 2016 F-150’s segment exclusive Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which makes backing up your trailer just about the easiest thing ever.

Although Ford has already debunked most of the disparaging myths about its trucks, the automaker has outdone itself with new ads that show the strength of aluminum in 2016 F-150 trucks. The ads were a chance for Ford to tell the truth about its innovative and durable aluminum trucks, while also sharing some of its quirky creativity and brazenly honest opinions of why its aluminum alloy trucks are ahead of the curve.

Instead of going with typical computer-generated imagery, Ford chose to express the best parts of its innovative aluminum F-150 through an innovative filming technique that aligns with the honesty of its brand. The commercials were filmed using live-action and stop-motion animation rather than digital to give onlookers a less fabricated and more organic viewing experience.

Now in its 67th year, Ford’s F-Series has been the best-selling truck in America for 38 consecutive years, and the best selling vehicle in America for 33 consecutive years. As you can tell from the commercials, Ford knows what it’s doing with its trucks, which is why we tell all of our Redford area used car dealer customers they won’t find any other truck like a Ford F-150, even if it’s used.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Will Set Standards for Police Pursuit Vehicles

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Will Set Standards for Police Pursuit Vehicles

WESTLAND, Mich. –The 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility will set standards for Police Pursuit Vehicles (PPV) when it hits the streets with upgraded design and technology.

According to Ford, the Police Interceptor SUV and sedan models dominated the 2015 public safety vehicle segment and garnered 55% of the market share. The 2016 Police Interceptor Utility was developed under the guidance of Ford’s Police Advisory Board of law enforcement professionals, and the improvements made should bolster Ford’s position in the segment.

One standout feature sure to help the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility set standards for PPVs is the vehicle’s lights. Ford designed them to be capable of flashing up to 25 distinct patterns, and their seamless integration into the front and rear fascias adds to the SUV’s covert look.

Every component of the SUV is designed with uncompromising durability so the vehicle can withstand the mots egregious conditions or circumstances. The Interceptor’s A-pillar is built of boron steel, and a hydroformed steel tube spans the width of the SUV to provide additional support. Even the tires exhibit durability and are capable of reaching 50,000 miles before showing noticeable tread wear.

The SUV includes all-wheel drive and a standard 6-speed transmission that includes a Pursuit Mode. The transmission changes from Normal to Pursuit Mode when it recognizes an officer is in hot pursuit or another contentious situation. Software also enables the SUV to spin 180 degrees when reversing and then continue driving forward – a reverse J-turn.

Police departments can choose between a 3.7L V6 engine producing 304 horsepower and 279 lb.-ft. of torque, or a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine producing 350 lb.-ft. of torque for their 2016 Police Interceptor Utilities. Both engines meet test requirements held by the Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Of course, all of the standard features that officers expect in a PPV are available in the 2016 Police Interceptor Utility. But considering the additional updates, this PPV is definitely what you’ll want to see departments in your area using.
