2013 Ford F-150 Debuts At FAA Celebration And Will Be Offered at Matt Ford

Online, June 23, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Matt Ford is pleased to announce the arrival of the 2013 Ford F-150, which was recently unveiled as Ford celebrated its 65-year relationship with the Future Farmers of America (FFA). The Ford F-150 offers the agricultural community a variety of different trims and powertrains to tackle every job, and that has helped the F-150 to become part of the best-selling line of pickups in America.

"Like our hardworking customers, Ford is committed to getting the job done right with our industry-leading trucks," said Ford president of The Americas, Mark Fields. "The 2013 F-150 demonstrates our commitment to continuously improving our trucks with new features and capabilities, allowing F-Series owners to be increasingly productive."

Ford's partnership with the FFA began in 1948, the same year that the F-Series went on sale. Since then, Ford has awarded thousands of scholarships to the members of the FAA. In fact, the Built Ford Tough Scholarship Program awarded 540 individual scholarships for the 2011-12 academic year.

The 2013 Ford F-150 is available with four different engine options that all flaunt best-in-class performance or efficiency. The 3.7-liter four-valve Ti-VCT V6 dominates its segment with best-in-class numbers, including: 302 horsepower, 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway and 6,100 pounds of maximum trailer tow. The 2013 F-150's 5.0-liter V8 offers best-in-class power and trailer tow with 360 horsepower and 10,000 pounds maximum tow.

For even more class leading numbers drivers can opt for the 2013 F-150's 6.2-liter V8 which boasts a best-in-class 411 horsepower, 434 lb.-ft. of torque and 11,300 pounds maximum trailer tow.
