About this model

1997 Ford F-150

Повнорозмірний пікап · generation 2015–2024

Our takeКороль американських пікапів. Найкращий варіант — F-150 XLT 2018+ з 2.7L EcoBoost або 5.0L V8. Уникайте PowerBoost Hybrid — нова батарея, мало запчастин в Україні.

Strengths

Найпопулярніший пікап у США 47 років підряд — гігантський обсяг лотів
Алюмінієвий кузов (2015+) — не іржавіє, легший за конкурентів
EcoBoost 3.5L V6 Twin Turbo — 375 к.с. і витрата як у V6

Weaknesses

10-ст. АКПП (2017+) має історію проблем — рекол від Ford
EcoBoost вимагає якісного бензину (мін. 92), що дорого в Україні
