Ford is bringing back the elite Limited trim level of its F-150 for the 2016 model.
Above the King Ranch and Platinum models in the hierarchy model of F-150, the Limited features all kinds of luxurious stuffs the lucky owner won't want to get dirty.
According to Truck Yeah, there are speculations that this truck might top $70,000, though there has not been any official MSRP posted yet. If the Limited's price will be based on the current pricing for King Ranch and Platinum, the truck might start at around $53,000 and ending under $65,000.
The truck will basically feature all F-150 option as regular equipment. In addition, there is unique chrome on the tailgate and the grille. It will also feature special gauge faces, 22-inch rims, genuine eucalyptus material for wood trim, and the seats made out of Ford's Mojave leather. Of course, that big, fat "LIMITED" word is also on the hood. That sets the Limited apart from the rest of the line-up.
But wait, there's more!
The 2016 F-150 Limited has blind spot warnings and a cross traffic alert system, a panoramic roof, power dropping side-steps, LED headlights, lanekeeping, a 360-degree camera, Sony stereo, "Ice Blue" accent lighting, and a 3.5 EcoBoost engine.
Another thing that makes this truck so awesome is its trailer hitch assist. It is a mini reversed steering wheel for driving backwards that is backed up with a camera. It's like playing a video game where the trailer is your car in 3rd person view, while the controller is the mini steering wheel.
There is also a replacement for Ford's hated "MyFordTouch" Infotainment System, according to Jalopnik news. Ford announced that the infotainment system is gone in both name and practice, and is instead replaced by the all-new Blackberry QNX-based system called "Sync 3."
As the luxury truck competition heats up, and Ford's competitors are in game too (like Chevy has its Silverado refreshed, and Ram launched its Laramie Limited), this new F-150 has to raise the bar. The Limited will go on sale this winter.
