Part 1: Introduction

After being the best selling pickup truck for the past 3 decades, the Ford F-150 pickup ranks high for 2012 with subtle changes to the interior and exterior. All 4 wheel drive F-150's still come standard with a 36 gallon fuel tank mated with a V6 turbocharged engine, but the distinct changes include an automatic transfer case, enhanced upgrades for the Ford Sync system, neutral tow capabilities, and an electronic locking rear axle. Unlike the competition, the 2012 Ford F-150 pick-up truck is one step ahead with impressive features, an array of trims to choose from, innovative technologies, fuel economy ratings and impressive towing capabilities.

The entry level F-150 truck delivers 23 mpg on the highway, while cranking out 300 horsepower, while V8 buyers are entitled to the 5 liter 36 horsepower engine that is capable of hauling up to 10,000 pounds. The Ford F-150 is an impressive vehicle for many reasons, with the most significant being its ability to tow up to 11,300 pounds, haul more than 3000 lbs, and deliver all this on 18 mpg combined. The F-150 can be availed in a number of bed and cargo combos and with 2 or 4 wheel drivetrains. The F-150 truck is also appointed with a list of top notch amenities to include a flat rear floor, Ford's voice command multimedia technology, "work solution" options for commercial use, and easy access to the cargo bed area. Although the Ford F-150 doesn't stack up well against its rivals in terms of power and features, buyers prefer it for its versatility and high level of customization. The 2012 F-150 truck remains a perennial choice in its class, but reviewers claim that the Dodge ram 1500 exemplifies a smoother ride, while the Avalanche demonstrates a provocative car like handling, and the Sierra by GMC simply doesn't break the bank.
