2011 is certainly not an uneventful model year for the Ford F-150 pickup lineup—it marks the most extensive overhaul of the big pickup''s powertrains in almost 62 years of production. The 2011 Ford F-150 gets four new powertrains this year including a base V-6 and a pair of newly developed V-8 engines. The fourth option: Ford''s 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 an unlikely but completely common-sense alternative to V-8 thirst and thin V-6 torque. Once upon a time a Ford with a turbo V-6 would have been laughed out of any serious truck owner''s stall; but thanks to modern electronic engine controls and some innovation on the engineering side at Ford that''s all changed. Ford''s 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 feels just as stout as a V-8 and is just as formidable for towing and hauling while sipping regular unleaded at V-6 rates. The new EcoBoost V-6 is rated for towing up to 11300 pounds—the same as the mammoth 6.2-liter V-8. Base V-6 models can tow up to 6100 pounds and the 5.0-liter models will tow close to 10000 pounds Along with the new powertrains the F-150 lineup adopts electric power steering that''s tuned well and also calls car-like responses to mind with its light quick responses. There''s no way you''re going to confuse the ride and handling of the 2010 Ford F-150 with that of a sports coupe—or even that of a sedan—but the F-150 handles relatively well for a pickup. Steering has been improved over previous versions and the seats afford a good forward view along with good long-distance comfort. 4 Doors, 4-wheel ABS brakes, 4WD Type - Part-time, Automatic Transmission, Clock - In-radio, Compass, Cruise control, Dusk sensing headlights, External temperature display, Four-wheel drive, Front fog/driving lights, Fuel economy EPA highway (mpg): 21 and EPA city (mpg): 15, Head airbags - Curtain 1st and 2nd row, Intermittent window wipers, Passenger Airbag, Pickup Bed Type - Regular, Power windows with 1 one-touch, Privacy/tinted glass, Split-bench rear seats, Stability control - With anti-roll control, Tachometer, Tire pressure monitoring system, Traction control - ABS and driveline
