Questioning exactly how the 2015 Ford F-150 will be different from the current-generation vehicle? Look to its back doors.

 

 

 

Speaking before a small viewers of industry analysts and journalists this week, Ford vehicles marketing manager Doug Scott exposed a few tips of exactly what to expect on the next-generation Ford F-150 full-size pickup. He claimed Ford looked at just how customers used their SuperCab vehicles-- trucks with tiny, rear-hinged doors on the lengthy cabs. Many use it for extra storage instead of passenger-hauling.

 

 

 

When filling in objects, he claimed Ford F-150 customers like rear-hinged doors, but he wants to view a few modifications to them, namely the angle at which the doors turn open. In current SuperCab designs, the rear-hinged doors open at 90 degrees; Scott said he 'd like to see them open at a complete 180 levels. The current configuration can make it hard for passengers to get out with both doors on the side open in a tight parking area, in some cases catching them; we also directed this out in our very own Ford F-150 review. The 180-degree configuration would allow a much easier leave.

 

 

 

Trucks from Chrysler's Ram branch offer front-hinged doors on their full-size trucks with lengthy taxis, and General Motors is switching over from rear-hinged to los angeles ford front-hinged little doors on extended cab designs for 2014. This allows them to place a pillar in the center, assisting with architectural readying in accident testing. Scott accepts that helps, but he didn't presume as to say it's needed to pass government collision security criteria.

 

 

 

The advertising and marketing manager said some ideas from the Ford Atlas pickup, assessed at the 2013 North American International Car Program, would make their method to both the 2015 Ford F-150 and the Super Task models, going into detail concerning its tailgate-mounted lift for holding longer items on its roof rack. However, unfortunately, the Atlas was just right stuff of concepts, a signal for Ford's future pickup truck direction however not, as Ford spokespeople likewise said, a clear check out the next-generation full-size truck.

 

 

 

Still, it's anticipated that the in the following F-150 will certainly herald various other technologies like an aluminum-intensive weight-savings plan and perhaps also in-bed storage along the lines of the RamBox. We'll understand soon good enough, as the 2015 Ford F-Series nears its introduction.
