DETAILS
That’s a mighty fine looking truck, pardner...
Er yes, thank you. It may not be familiar to those of you outside North America, but Ford’s F150 has been America’s best-selling full-size pickup for 30 years, the truck that has sustained the Blue Oval through some of it leanest times – and we’ve caught the all-new 2009 model fully undisguised well before its debut next January at the Detroit motor show.
The biggest news is the introduction of a diesel model - a first for Ford’s icon. Powered by a version of the 3.6-litre V8 diesel currently found in the Range Rover, but bored and stroked to a 4.4-litres, the biturbo diesel F150 is expected to pump out 330bhp and a hefty 525lb ft of torque. Plenty of blue-collar muscle for hauling boats, caravans and horseboxes.
