Occasionally automakers actually do hear consumers. In the case of Ford, particularly with its crowd pleasing F-150 pick-up truck, Ford not only is listening, but delivering. What am I speaking about? A hot-rod pick-up lorry, that is what. That’s right, Ford is going ahead with plans to market a really “boss” version of its perennially fastest selling truck, the F-150, to give many fans just what they have wanted. Read on for a pre-launch preview of Ford’s soon to be released FX2, a dream-come-true for eager Ford lovers.
With gas prices approaching record levels, some are querying Ford’s decision to release one more version of its highly well-liked full sized pick-up truck, the F-150. Yet, demand for massive lorries and SUVs continues to continue to be strong advising that size actually does matter for many shoppers. True, a smaller wagon can be adequate for some motorists however most contractors require the giant carrying capacity of the F-150 thus the continued high demand of these sorts of trucks. And , heavy pick-up wagon drivers will tell you that there is nothing that matches the abundant capacity of an eight foot bed in carrying everything from lumber to yard waste to sport gear and more.
As it is with many truck owners, function is one thing while styling is but another. Base versions of the F-150 are enticing and able enough, but sport concepts have continued to make so much hum that Ford is responding to consumer demand by building the FX2. Specifically, the new model is in response to the overpoweringly positive hum an idea version has been receiving at automobile shows everywhere.
So, what separates the FX2 from the average F-150? Plenty, including the following features as shared by Ford in a press release saying the new model:
– a dark billet grille
– a sporty, deep front valance
— clear headlights paired with platinum bezels
— monochromatic paint scheme that mixes in the fender, side mirrors, and door handles with the remainder of the truck
— chrome exhaust tip
– 18 inch wheels
– black captain chairs with red stitching, available in clothe or in leather
— flow-through center console with floor shifter
Engine choices haven’t been announced, but Ford has expounded that its preferred 5.4L V8 will be offered. The FX2, a two wheel drive auto, will complement an existing off road model, the FX4. Ford builds more versions of its full sized pick up lorry than any other manufacturer in the world.
Yes, the FX2 is another part of Ford’s “Bold Moves” promotional campaign. While the new model is predicated on an existing truck, it does something that Ford is finally learning to do right : hear its consumers. With the 2007 F-150 FX2, it appears that Ford has responded with certainty.
