Ford is kicking off this year’s Detroit Motor Show with the public debut of the 2018 F-150. The updated pick-up truck gets a new exterior design and updated drivetrain.
In terms of design changes, the 2018 model has been rejuvenated to keep it fresh and visually interesting as its tech gets updated underneath. The front end matches the Super Duty two-bar design albeit with softer design cues. The tailgate also gets a redesign with a new handle and a more subdued look without a visible crease.
Under the hood there’s an all-new V6 turbodiesel engine which undoubtedly will be more efficient than the current 2.7-litre EcoBoost engine. The former will be paired to a 10-speed automatic developed jointly with GM. The EcoBoost, meanwhile, has been updated for more power and efficiency. Full details on the 2018 F-150 will be out later in the year, around the vehicle’s official launch date.
