For drivers yearning for a good measure of versatility, power, and style, they often find themselves turning to the full-size, light-duty pickup segment to find their next vehicle purchase. Not long after, they’ll often find themselves behind the wheel of a Ford F-150, which holds the distinction of being the top-selling pickup in both the Milwaukee area and around the nation since 1977. Now revamped for the new model year, the 2016 Ford F-150 has arrived at EVS Auto Group, and can now be found at our locations in Random Lake and Lomira, WI. So, what can you expect when you test drive your own?
2016 Ford F-150 Specs and Features | Fond du Lac, WI
As you likely remember, the Ford F-150 received a full redesign for the 2015 model year, highlighted by the use of lightweight aluminum construction materials and an entirely new engine lineup. Yet, there’s even more that’s been added to the available features for 2016.
Pro Trailer Backup Assist
With all the power now available from the 2016 Ford F-150, many drivers are compelled to pull a trailer or boat behind their truck. Yet, reversing with a large load in the rear can be tricky, and that’s where the Pro Trailer Backup Assist comes in. Using this all-new feature, drivers employ a simple knob to direct their trailer. The F-150 then takes over the steering itself, allowing easier boat launches or quicker maneuvers overall. The video below shows this feature in action.
New Special Edition Packages
To allow buyers to better personalize their purchase, Ford has unveiled a new Special Edition package that cranks up the attitude to previously unseen levels. Available on the XLT and Lariat packages (and seen in the photo above), buyers of the Special Edition will enjoy new 20-inch anodized painted aluminum wheels with red lettering, new black running boards, smoked headlamps, a redesigned instrument panel, red interior stitching, side accent decals, and a red-accented mesh grille.
Ford SYNC 3 Infotainment System
For the first time in years, Ford has decided to revamp its SYNC infotainment system with MyFord Touch, and the all-new SYNC 3 represents a clear step forward for the F-150. This system will receive enhanced voice recognition, a high-speed capacitative touchscreen, and a clearer, easier-to-understand graphical interface. For those who’ve been waiting for improvements to the infotainment system, this is certainly big news.
New Fuel Packages Available
For the first time, 2016 Ford F-150s that house the 5.0L V8 under the hood will now be able to also choose a Compressed Natural Gas or Propane option, which allows drivers to reduce cost and emissions simultaneously. All told, this will be the first and only light-duty pickup to offer either CNG or propane fuel options.
So, who’s ready to take a test drive? The 2016 Ford F-150 is now available at EVS Auto Group, both at Eric von Schledorn Ford in Random Lake and at Ernie von Schledorn Ford in Lomira. To experience this model for yourself, visit our dealerships today!
