Alright, you’ve been around the block a few times now and you have solid control over your vehicle but that’s not really the point now is it? You’re the sort of adventurer that needs a truck that demands to be tests to its limits.
You want to find out what it means to be allowed to get out of your comfort zone.
Or, maybe you just want a reliable truck that can give you the confidence to strike up a conversation with Mother Nature on your own terms.
Whatever the case may be, find a traveling companion that doesn’t get cold feet when you tell them that you want to go a little further off the beaten path. Let’s take a moment and explore the durability and commanding presence that makes every trip with an FX4 Off-Road Package on the all-star 2015 F-150.
1 – Off-Road Ready!
Okay, so this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, after all we’ve been going on and on about getting out of town and into the wild trails and roads beyond, but the 2015 F-150 FX4 Off-Road Package is definitely going to impress with its off-road tuned shock absorbers.
These are backed-up by electronically-locking rear differentials, and skid plates for protection when the earth comes up to meet you along the way. It’s got the 4×4 credentials that will meet up and offer the incentive to go just a little harder on the trails you’ve chosen to master.
2 – Efficiency, Meet Capabilities; Capabilities, Meet Expectations
When it comes to getting around in an F-150 model, well, you’re in for some real treats with this impressive addition to the Ford truck lineup. The F-150 comes with electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) features with high and low 4-wheel drive models in addition to 2-wheel drive options that come standard on XL and XLT models with 4×4.
The 2-speed automatic 4WD makes trusting your path forward all the easier, thanks to high, low, and automatic 4-wheel-drive modes added to 2-wheel-drive that comes standard on Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited 4×4 models. Although, it’s worth noting that the FX4 is only available on 4×4 models.
3 – Safety When You Need It
The modern truck deserves the modern technology to give you the confidence to get out and explore. With the F-150 you can choose class-exclusive 360-degree camera with split-view display. Making it easy to get around even the tightest spots on and off the road.
Add to all of this the fact that the FX4 comes with its own decal features, and offers a GVWR of up to 3,855 kg (8,500 lb) and you can bet that you’ve got the presence that you’re after here, there and everywhere you go.
4 – Find Somewhere Out of the Way
The FX4-designated models come with hill descent control, which, when activated, applies additional pressure to the brakes as needed. This means that you can get around at a controlled descent up to 32 kilometres per hour. The skid plates, mentioned earlier, cover up the fuel tank, transfer case, and front differentials, enabling you to navigate on uncertain terrain without concerning yourself with damage.
