Experience Everything the Ford F-150 Has to Offer from Brad Manning Ford Inc in DeKalb, Illinois
A good pickup truck is more than a car. It's a part of you. It's your best friend. If you're in the market for a new car, look no further than Brad Manning Ford Inc. Whether you're cruising around DeKalb, Sycamore, Rochelle, Elburn or Sandwich, Illinois and taking in the sights, or you need a heavy duty vehicle for work, the Ford F-150 has everything you need, and more. After all, nothing says rugged capability, convenience, and a powerful engine like the Ford F-150. Some of the F-150's top features include a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body and steel frame, as well as smart towing and SYNC 3 with SYNC Connect.
The Ford F-150 means business. A 3.5-liter V6 engine means 18 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. Meanwhile, the 5.0-liter V8 engine boasts 22 more degrees of horsepower and seven more pound-feet of torque, along with a best-in-class maximum 3,270-pound payload. The 2017 model also features an all-new 10-speed transmission with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine. Drivers will enjoy improved acceleration and performance thanks to enhanced wide-span gear spacing and drag-reduction developments.
The 2017 Ford F-150 will stand out on the road, in a good way. The STX appearance package includes 20-inch machined-aluminum wheels with flash gray-painted pockets, a black billet-style grille with a body-color surround and black mesh insert, body-colored fascia and front and rear bumpers, STX box side decals, one-of-a-kind black sport cloth seats with flow-through console and steering column-mounted shifter, and accessories like fog lamps, privacy glass, and SYNC 3. The class-exclusive cab and box was made from high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy, and a fully boxed frame with eight crossmembers (five through-welded) comprised of up to 78 percent high-strength steel. Since the 2017 F-150 is up to 700 pounds lighter than the previous generation, it features better fuel efficiency, bigger towing and payload capacities, an improved power-to-weight ratio for quicker acceleration, improved handling and braking responsiveness.
Get the job done with the F-150's smart towing features. The Pro Trailer Backup Assist is your own private hitch assist, Smart Trailer Tow Connector, and trailer brake controller (TBC). The available BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), with cross-traffic alert and trailer coverage, gives you peace of mind while you're towing a trailer. The Trailer Tow Package is available on all models, but the Max Trailer Tow Package is only an option on XL, XLT, LARIAT, King Ranch and Platinum F-150s.
SYNC 3 gives the driver a whole new kind of experience. It offers high-speed performance, improved voice recognition, a capacitive touchscreen with swipe capability, available navigation with easy-to-use destination entry and pinch-to-zoom functionality, flawless Siri integration, and automatic updates over Wi-Fi. You'll also be able to use FordPass to track your truck's location and remotely access features such as start, lock, unlock, fuel level and approximate mileage.
