The new Limited expands the F-150 model lineup – Ford’s
toughest, smartest, safest and most capable F-150 ever – with more
standard technology and driver convenience features than any other
light-duty pickup. The Limited, a 2016 model, goes on sale this
winter.
“The F-150 Limited sets a new bar for what discerning customers
should expect in a high-end truck,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice
president, Global Product Development. “We’re adding
segment-exclusive technology, and features that improve
productivity, convenience and capability with distinctive
style.”
There’s a Ford F-150 for every truck customer, beginning with
work-ready versions that have a starting MSRP below the Chevrolet
Silverado 1500 WT, as well as the popular mid-range F-150 XLT. But
the new F-150 Limited meets the growing, untapped needs of luxury
customers looking for exclusivity, convenience and fine
craftsmanship that’s differentiated from other high-series trucks.
F-150 Limited surpasses the well-appointed Lariat, the
Western-themed King Ranch and contemporary Platinum edition
models.
In 1999, the company introduced the special-edition 2000
Harley-Davidson F-150. In 2001, the first King Ranch F-150 arrived.
The 2009 F-150 took truck luxury to new heights with the Platinum
model, and the first-generation Limited was added with the 2013
model year.
Exterior refinements
The 2016 Ford F-150 Limited stands out with exclusive 22-inch
polished aluminum wheels and raised dimensional LIMITED lettering
on the hood, unique grille and satin-finished chrome badge on the
tailgate. The chrome front bumper has body-color end caps while the
rear bumper is body color; bright belt moldings visually tie the
two together. The exterior is further accented by satin-chrome door
handles and chrome exhaust tip.
Available colors include Shadow Black, Magnetic, Blue Jeans and
White Platinum Metallic tri-coat.
Top-tier equipment
The standard equipment list is a showcase of the best F-150
Limited has to offer to make getting work done easier and with
greater comfort.
BLIS® with cross-traffic alert, chrome front tow hooks (4x4
only), panoramic vista roof, power-deployable running boards,
quad-beam LED headlamps, remote start and tailgate release, as well
as an integrated trailer brake controller come standard. A
technology package includes a lane-keeping system, 360-degree
camera system and dynamic trailer hitch assist.
Interior equipment includes heated and cooled black and Mojave
leather front seats that are unique in design and feature Limited
badging, 10-way power adjustment and class-exclusive1 multicontour
massaging. Heated rear seats and SYNC® 3 with AppLink™ are also
included.
SYNC 3 is Ford’s newest communications and entertainment system
that features enhanced voice recognition, high-speed performance,
capacitive touch screen and easier-to-understand graphical
interface.3
F-150 Limited also includes a Sony® 10-speaker sound system with
HD Radio™, subwoofer and single CD player paired with a five-year
subscription to SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link to complete the
package.
The interior is further differentiated from other F-150 models
with a laser-engraved VIN plate on the center console lid including
production number. Unique front and rear floor mats, unique
instrument cluster face, genuine fiddleback eucalyptus, and
aluminum interior accents and unique scuff plates with ice blue
backlighting further distinguish the Limited model.
All-new, segment1-first Pro Trailer Backup Assist is available
that makes it easier for drivers of all skill levels to back a
trailer up to launch a boat or park in a driveway. The technology
allows customers to steer a trailer instinctively by turning a knob
left or right to indicate direction; the truck controls its
steering and limits vehicle speed.
Advanced power and fuel efficiency
The 2016 F-150 Limited is powered by the 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6,
which allows for towing of up to 10,100 pounds when properly
equipped. This advanced powertrain produces 365 horsepower and 420
lb.-ft. of torque – the latter unsurpassed by any truck with a
comparable engine in its class1 – and has an EPA-estimated fuel
economy rating of 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 20 mpg
combined.2
The engine is paired with an electronic six-speed automatic
transmission with tow/haul and sport modes that features
SelectShift® with progressive range select. Four-wheel-drive models
are equipped with two-speed automatic four-wheel drive that
automatically shifts between two-wheel and four-wheel drive
depending on driving surface traction conditions.
