FORD F-150 FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGIES
Pro-access tailgate: This design puts you up to 19 inches closer to the truck bed for an easier reach inside. The tailgate opens out a full 100 degrees; making it easier to load and unload items from the bed while a trailer is hooked up.
BlueCruise: This is an advanced driver-assistance feature that allows hands-free highway driving by controlling the steering, braking, acceleration, and lane-centering. A driver-facing camera tracks eye gaze and head position to help ensure your eyes stay on the road while your hands are off the wheel. BlueCruise works in collaboration with the driver, helping in reducing the fatigue of driving, allowing you to arrive at your destination feeling more refreshed and energized.
The Ford F-150 has a security package that sends theft alerts and allows for remote lockdown via the FordPass® app.
LED Headlamps: The headlamps create a glare-free high beam to maximize visibility and can swivel up to 15 degrees to help illuminate around curves. It also has LED fog lamps to help cut through the mist in murky conditions.
