The Ford F-series is the best-selling vehicle in America, and it has been showered with numerous accolades from various auto publications. This includes Motor Trend’s prestigious truck of the year award. But what exactly makes the Ford F-150 so wildly successful? That is the question we at Bud Shell Ford will be addressing in this new blog post!

First of all, the F-150 has the capability to take on any task you need it for. This level of dependability has made the F-150 a cornerstone of the automotive industry. But what exactly makes this truck so capable? Well, it has a best-in-class payload and best-in-class towing for starters. Ford recently began making the F-150’s body out of military grade aluminum. This change has saved over 700 lbs in weight. Ford has re-invested this weight where it counts; the frame. The F-150 has a high strength, fully boxed steel frame, making it tougher than ever.

But it’s not just the toughness that makes this truck so great. Ford has loaded the F-series with all sorts of cutting-edge technology. Many of these trucks include features like 360 degree cameras, remote start, and remote tailgate release. The F-150 is also safer than ever, with available safety features such as lane keeping system, cross traffic alert, and pre-collision assist, not to mention the five star safety ratings. When you own a Ford truck, it comes along with peace of mind.

These are just a few of the reasons why the F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in America and has won so many awards. So whether you need a truck to haul cargo across the country, or to drive your family around town; there’s no better truck than the Ford F-150.
