El Paso Ford Dealers Introduce New 2011 F-150 Engines

Sept. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- El Paso Ford dealership Viva Ford is excited to introduce pickup truck drivers to the new engines on the 2011 F-150 series.  2011 Ford F-150 has received the most extensive powertrain renovation ever!

2011 Ford F-150 models have four new engines to choose from, each with a new six-speed automatic transmission.  2011 models will be available at the El Paso Ford dealership later this year.

“Our new engine lineup allows greater flexibility for customers to select the powertrain choice that best suits their needs,” said Barb Samardzich, vice president of Powertrain Engineering. “We are in the midst of a powertrain revolution, with 30 new powertrains over the next two years, and our loyal F-150 customers are the next ones to benefit.”

The four available engines are a 3.7-liter V6 and a 5.0-liter V8, a version of the 6.2-liter V8 that is the base engine in the 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty and a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, specially tuned and calibrated for the F-150, that will be available in early 2011 and will help with the increased fuel-saving of the line.

The four different engines allow drivers to pick the truck that best suit their El Paso Ford driving needs and the standard automatic transmissions and improved engines give the trucks and improved fuel economy.  Having multiple engines didn’t cause Ford to slack on any of them, though, as all four continue to have class-leading capabilities.

Each of the engines offers the same characteristics of all Ford F-150 models: torque, horsepower, fuel economy, performance, durability, reliability and capability.

“The 2011 Ford F-150 lineup offers our customers the widest array of powertrain solutions,” said Bob Fascetti, director of large gas and diesel engine engineering. “From the entry-level to the high-end customer, each 2011 F-150 will deliver projected best-in-class capability, power and fuel economy along with features and conveniences our competition can’t match.”

This is the first time that a six-speed automatic transmission is a standard feature in the F-150.  In fact, Ford is the first and only manufacturer to have its entire line of full-sized pickup trucks with the six-speed automatic transmissions as standard.  This makes the entire 2011 F-150 lineup more fuel efficient than ever, as the line will be at least 20 percent more fuel efficient than the 2010 F-150 lineup when all models are available.

For El Paso Ford drivers looking to tow a large load, Ford has added several available enhancements drivers tow more easily, such as SelectShift, with both progressive range select and manual functions.

2011 Ford F-150 models will arrive at the dealership later this year.  More information is available at http://www.elpaso-ford.com.
