The Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 continues to offer a distinctive, custom look for 2012, but it’s also an extremely feature-rich pickup. Standard content includes the voice-activated Navigation System, a 4.2-inch productivity screen, power moonroof and Remote Start System, helping to make it stand out from other utilitarian trucks.
The successful collaboration between Ford and Harley-Davidson has produced a total of 10 F-150 models. Overall, Ford has sold 70,000 Ford Harley-Davidson F-Series trucks since 1999.
Powering the Harley-Davidson F-150 is a potent 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine producing 411 horsepower and 434 lb.-ft. of torque. With a maximum trailer towing capability of 7,500 pounds, this truck has plenty of power for hauling motorcycles or any other type of cargo.
While this truck certainly delivers power, it’s really more about offering unique style. That’s why Ford equipped the Harley-Davidson F-150 with a bold front fascia and six-bar billet-style bright chrome grille, graphics on the bodyside, 22-inch machined-aluminum wheels with painted accents, and an exclusive paint selection reminiscent of classic Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
“This is the first time we’ve captured the full spectrum of light to dark on the exterior,” said Mike Massara, F-150 program manager. “The graphic flows and accents the design curve of the truck, yet brings the texture of the snakeskin into the vehicle, which is something that’s very difficult to do.”
Inside, this truck also offers plenty of technology options to meet customer needs. It comes standard with a voice-activated Navigation System that integrates several functions, including voice-recognition destination entry, climate control and SiriusXM Satellite Radio into one easy-to-use system, displaying them on an 8-inch touch screen. Other standard features include:
- Power moonroof
- Rear view camera
- Second-row heated seats
- Ambient lighting
- Remote Start System
- 110-volt power inverter
- Power-adjustable performance pedals
“This is a great pairing of two icons of the open road: Ford and Harley-Davidson. Both brands appeal to truck owners and motorcycle enthusiasts alike,” said Marc Lapine, Ford F-150 marketing manager. “For 2012 we worked with Harley-Davidson to continue to push the styling envelope while still delivering the durability and power that F-150 is known for and that our collective customers expect. It perfectly captures both brands.”
