The 2018 F-150 body is up to 700 lbs. lighter than the previous generation, made of high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy. Not aluminum in the household sense, but heat-treated and hardened aluminum alloy — the same high-grade 6000-series used in big military and industrial applications. Beneath this aluminum-alloy body is a fully boxed frame made of up to 78 percent high-strength steel. The F-150 boats an impressive set of engines to choose from – ensuring you get the F-150 that perfectly suits your needs. Auto Start-Stop Technology is a feature on all F-150 engines. When you come to a stop, the engine shuts off to save fuel and restarts immediately when the brake is released. Designed smart for truck applications, Auto Start-Stop deactivates when it wouldn’t be needed such as when you’re towing a trailer or running in 4-wheel drive. With an available SYNC Connect - equipped vehicle, you can use FordPass to track your vehicle’s location and remotely access vehicle features, such as start, lock and unlock, and vehicle status, including fuel level. The F-150 provides lots of places to store the assortment of things you carry inside the cab. You’ll also find plenty of space to stow items in the door-trim panel bins and under-seat rear storage area — there’s even space for a laptop inside the available flow-through center console.
