F-150's New Engines!


Ford Boise truck enthusiasts should be happy now that Ford has announced there will be four new engines in their 2011 Ford F-150 line up.  Of course this news has no impact on Peoria Volkswagen, as their line up consists of small cars and compact SUVS.  But, the announcement that these new engines will be 20% more fuel efficient than the 2010 models might pose some competition for the smaller car market.  While the pricing hasn't been announced for the 2011 line up, it shouldn't be too much higher than the 2010 models.  If the prices are too out of your range, go see Salem bad credit car lot to see what kind of trucks they have in their current inventory.  Plus, the entire full size truck line up at Ford is going to have standard a six speed automatic transmission.  The new F-150s will also feature SelectShift, which will help drivers tow large loads with greater ease.  It will allow drivers to enter a manual mode and have control over which gear the truck is in. 

The exciting truck that many people are awaiting the release of will feature the new V6 EcoBoost twin turbocharged engine.  While this truck won't be available until early 2011, it is a brand new engine in the making.  The 3.5 liter engine has not had the specifics figured out yet, meaning we don't know what to expect for horsepower or torque.  Ford has assured consumers that this engine will adhere to their Built Ford Tough motto.  The other V6 engine Ford is introducing is the 3.7 liter, which is expected to give drivers 300 horsepower and 275 pound feet of torque.  This smaller engine will still be able to tow 6,100 pounds and get great fuel economy.  Plus, drivers can go 10,000 miles between oil changes!

The other two engine sizes in the new line up include the 5.0 liter V8 and the 6.2 liter V8.

2011 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 is Most Powerful Ever!



The 2011 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson special edition is one of the most powerful full-sized pickup models on the market and it is Ford's most powerful F-150 ever. Cincinnati Ford and other dealerships sell the F-150 model, but the Harley Davidson F-150 is now a highly sought after model but limited in quantity. The vehicle is a collaboration between the two companies and has a new engine with more power. Other powerful vehicles can be test driven at a Peoria VW dealership.

Ford used its racing technology to develop the 6.2 liter engine on the model that has big-bore architecture which increases the horsepower of the model. Salinas Subaru also sells some high powered racing vehicles like the WRX which is a turbocharged sedan-sports hybrid.

The vehicle features a 6.2 liter V8 engine standard. The engine is also on the 2010 SVT Raptor version of the F-150 and it has 411 horsepower with 434 lb-ft of torque. The maximum towing capacity of the model is 9,300 lbs. There are other standard features such as voice activated navigation, a 4.2 inch productivity screen, a power moon roof, and a remote start system. These features make it an incredible and exclusive F-150 package.

The model is a collaboration between Harley Davidson motorcycles and Ford Motor Co. The truck has a lowered appearance because of a deployable running board. The model comes with 22-inch Euroflagne wheel cap and low performance tires, and the paint is a classic Harley Davidson scheme.
