2015 Ford F-150 Introduction Event
On Wednesday, February 11th, Irwin Ford will be hosting a 2015 Ford F-150 Model Introduction Event. This will be a fun-filled evening complete with light refreshments, a question and answer session, and of course, our guest of honor, the 2015 Ford F-150! Fresh off its being named the 2015 Truck of the Year, and boasting 38 years of being the best-selling truck in America, the 2015 F-150 has a lot to celebrate. With its incredible redesign for the 2015 model year, the F-150 is stronger, leaner, and meaner than ever… its new high-strength aluminum body panels help it shed nearly 700 pounds! In addition to being lighter and stronger than ever, the 2015 Ford F-150 beats the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in every category that matters to truck owners. Come learn more about this exciting new redesign and see the stunning 2015 F-150 in person at our model introduction celebration on February 11th from 5:00-6:30 pm! We are located at 59 Bisson Ave in Laconia, NH.
2015 Ford F-150 Versus 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
The Ford F-150 was just named Truck of the Year. This is not surprising, given that the F-150 has been the best-selling truck in America for 38 years. So when you factor in a bold new redesign that makes the F-150 lighter, stronger, and more efficient than ever, and the fact that someone buys a new F-150 every 43 seconds, you can see how the 2015 model was bound to turn a few heads.
Let’s see how the F-150 stacks up against the competition. We established last week that the 2015 F-150 runs laps around the Ram 1500, but let’s see how the new 2015 Ford F-150 stacks up against its archrival, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. For the sake of an apples-to-apples comparison, we will be looking at the crew cab 4×4 models, each with two different engines.
The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has a 4.3L V6 that produces 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. This configuration has a curb weight of 5,162 lbs. A 2015 Ford F-150 Crew Cab 4×4 equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 cranks out 365 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, and has a curb weight of 4,984 lbs. That means that the 2015 F-150 equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost generates 28% more horsepower and 23% more torque than Chevy’s 4.3L V6, while being nearly 200 lbs lighter.
What is truly impressive, is that for the regular cab and extended cab body styles, Ford has created an even smaller V6: a 2.7L EcoBoost that still beats Chevy’s 4.3L V6. The 2.7L EcoBoost churns out 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, compared the 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft on the Chevy.
Ok, so let’s check out the big guns now (these are pickup trucks, after all). For V8 engines, the Silverado 1500 offers a 5.3L V8 and the F-150 uses its 5.0L V8. The Chevy has a slightly larger displacement, but still delivers less performance in every category that counts. In terms of horsepower, the F-150 clocks in at 385 compared to Chevy’s 355. In terms of torque, it is a close match, but Ford still comes out on top with 387 lb-ft compared to 383 on the Silverado. Chevrolet lists the maximum payload of its 2015 Silverado 1500 as being 1,710 lbs. With a standard crew cab 4×4 configuration and a 5.0L V8, Ford’s F-150 can handle a payload of 2,230 lbs. But Ford also offers a heavy duty payload package that can extend the upper bounds of that payload all the way out to 2,770 lbs.
The all-new 2015 Ford F-150 challenges any other full-size pickup truck to step up to the plate and see how it performs against America’s Best-Selling Pickup For 38 Years and Counting.
2015 Ford Raptor
The completely redesigned 2015 Ford F-150 has already made a huge splash in the automotive world, and also already seriously worrying the competition. As the Wall Street Journal reported, “General Motors Co. is accelerating efforts to field a largely aluminum-bodied pickup truck by late 2018, under pressure from federal fuel efficient standards and archrival Ford Motor Co…” As if having fully a 3-year headstart on GM isn’t enough, Ford just unveiled its 2015 F-150 Raptor. The new Raptor will be 500 pounds lighter than the outgoing model, and will feature a 10-speed automatic transmission! We will be sure to share more information on the Raptor as it becomes available. In the meantime, check out this picture of the new model!
Make The Switch at Irwin Ford
Irwin Ford invites you to make the switch this month and see why Ford has been such an enduring brand. Ford just launched the completely redesigned 2015 F-150 which is now 700 pounds lighter than the outgoing model, which has seriously worried the competition since this new model blows the doors off both the Silverado 1500 and the Ram 1500. Plus, with Irwin Ford offering a $1,000 savings voucher, 0% APR for up to 72 months on many models, $0 down payment, and no payments until spring, there is no better time to make the switch to a Ford!
2015 Ford F-150 Vs 2015 Dodge Ram 1500
Ford’s all new 2015 F-150 has made a big splash with its aluminum body panels which have reduced the weight by 700 pounds! The bold new redesign has drawn praise for its stylish grille and attractive body lines, but the true test of any truck is what it can actually do. With that in mind, let’s compare the 2015 Ford F-150 to the 2015 Ram 1500, both equipped with V8 engines. The F-150’s 5.0L V8 produces 387 lb.-ft. of torque compared to the Ram’s 355 lb.-ft. So Ford has a clear advantage in the torque department. In terms of pure horsepower, the F-150 has a slight edge over the Ram, producing 385 horsepower compared to the Ram’s 383 horsepower. The F-150 runs laps around the Ram when it comes to maximum payload: at a max payload of 3,300 pounds, the F-150 can handle nearly double the 1,800 pounds that the Ram can manage. How much does it cost to run the thing? 2015 The F-150 is rated at 22 mpg on the highway and 18 mpg combined whereas the Ram can only manage 19 mpg on the highway and 15 mpg combined. This means that the F-150 is 20% more efficient in terms of fuel consumption while delivering better torque, more payload, and more horsepower. What’s the price difference, you ask? The F-150 has a starting MSRP of $25,420 compared to $25,410 for the Ram. So for $10, you get an extra 32 lb.-ft. of torque, 2 more horsepower, 20% better fuel economy, and an additional 1,500 pounds of payload capability. That is $10 well spent. If you want a truck that works like a truck, your choice is clear: get an F-150. There is a reason that the Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in America for 38 years and counting: it is the best truck on the market.
2015 Ford F-150 Has Arrived!
We are thrilled to announce that our very first 2015 Ford F-150 has arrived at our Laconia NH Ford showroom. This completely redesigned model is nearly 700 pounds lighter than the outgoing model thanks to Ford’s bold decision to use high-strength aerospace aluminum in its body panels. This gorgeous new truck is the end result of Ford’s decade-long, multi-billion dollar investment in making the F-150 lighter, tougher, and better on gas. This decision was not undertaken lightly. The F-150 has been the best-selling truck in America every year for the past 37 consecutive years, and is routinely the best-selling model in Ford’s entire line-up. In fact, Ford’s decision to make such a drastic change to its best-selling model caught the competition so off-guard, that, according to the Wall Street Journal, GM had to scramble to work a deal with Alcoa to secure a supply of aluminum to try and make trucks that are similarly light. GM’s lighter trucks will not be available on the market until 2018 at the earliest, giving Ford at least a three-year head start.
So, when our very first 2015 F-150 arrived the other day, we were pretty excited. It is a Crew Cab 4×4 in the XLT trim level, powered by a 3.5L EcoBoost motor. The window sticker boasts an impressive 19 mpg combined, and 23 mpg on the highway. And with a 36-gallon fuel tank, you can do some serious traveling before you have to fill up again. For the sake of comparison, the outgoing 2014 model with the same motor is rated at 17 mpg combined and 21 mpg on the highway.
This truck comes with chrome appearance package, chrome step bars, trailer tow package, and all the goodies you would expect in a high-end pickup. Inside the cab, you will find a wealth of amenities, like Sirius XM, Sync with MyFord Touch, Rear Camera, Remote Start, Reverse Sensing and more.
We have this beautiful nicely polished and sitting in our showroom; stop in and take a look at it! And from now until December 23rd, we are teamed up with The Laconia Citizen for our Fill Up the Pick Up canned food drive. So when you come to check out our completely redesigned 2015 F-150, please consider bringing a donation of canned or non-perishable food items so we can help our community this winter.
