The 2018 Ford F-150 was named the 2018 Motor Trend Truck of the Year for a reason. The F-150 continually epitomizes what a pickup truck should be, and is — without a doubt — the smartest pickup truck of all time.
In 2018, the F-150 is packed full of smart technology that continues to help Ford redefine the auto industry. This technology isn’t just included for flair, it’s included to give Ford customers the most bang for their buck, and a pickup that is the king of pickups.
Blind Spot Information System With Trailer Coverage
Available on the newest F-150 is Ford’s Blind Spot Information System which lets you know on the outside mirror when another vehicle is hidden in your blind spot. What makes the F-150 different from other Ford vehicles with BLIS is that it also features trailer coverage. This means that in addition to covering the length of your vehicle, the blind spot system will cover the length of what’s being towed behind your vehicle, as well. This is especially useful to F-150 owners, as the pickup is built to tow and carry heavy loads.
Remote Tailgate Release
For moments when your hands are full or you’re too busy to open the gate to the bed of your truck, you can do it with your key fob. No more struggling to put things down and open the tailgate just to have to pick them back up again; the F-150’s remote tailgate release solves that problem. You can also lock or unlock the tailgate with both your key fob and the inside door switch. The F-150 is built to be a convenient-yet-capable vehicle suited for any condition.
Pre-Collision Assist With Pedestrian Detection
Accidents happen, but Ford strives to reduce them as much as possible. To help you as unforeseen situations present themselves, Ford has equipped the F-150 with pre-collision assist and pedestrian detection. These two features scan the road before you, giving you visual and audio warnings as you approach either a vehicle or pedestrian. These technologies also precharge the brakes to brace for the potentially dangerous situations.
The F-150 is truly a marvel of pickup truck engineering. The added technologies only set the award-winning pickup further apart from the rest of its class, making it a must-have for drivers who prefer smart, durable and capable vehicles.
