The new lighter body promises improved fuel numbers and better performance on the job. This truck has led the pack for over thirty years for a reason. Come let our friendly and professional sales associates at Performance Ford Lincoln show you why a 2015 Ford F-150 is all the truck you need.

A Look At The Newly Redesigned 2015 Ford F-150

It’s Brilliant

Thanks to slimmer door designs that add two inches, the cabin of a 2015 Ford F-150 offers even more personal space and comfort for passengers. In order to give the cabin a more premium feel, Ford used new materials to finish the inside, to good effect. A large 8” display screen, conveniently located between the two main gauges gives the driver the customized information they need with just a glance.

It’s Bold

Sticking with the shape of the Atlas concept truck, the beefy grille, sleek hood creases and headlight shape are prominent features of the still familiar, powerful and muscular 2015 Ford F-150. The use of new aluminum body panels, along with high-strength steel, mean the 2015 Ford F-150 is lightened by almost 700 pounds. That weight loss, even with smaller engine sizes, means you get more work out of your truck for fewer dollars!

It’s Big

It is simple to get exactly the amount of truck you need for the work you do in Monroe and Concord and Matthews NC, because the 2015 Ford F-150 offers a wide variety of cab and bed sizes. Come see us in Charlotte, North Carolina, at Performance Ford Lincoln and customize your truck to your work load. Spacious SuperCrew cab models can be paired with either a 5’7” or 6’7” bed. SuperCab trucks, featuring reverse-hinged back doors, can get either 6’7” or 8’1” beds. Regular cab models come with a standard length 67” bed.

It’s Bountiful

Look for a wide range of trim levels for a 2015 Ford F-150. Expected levels top out with the Platinum model and range through returning Kind Ranch and Lariat levels, then the mid-level FX4, FX2 and STX models, down to the XLT and base XL model trims. New features for 2015 Ford F-150 models include things like a remote-operated power-locking tailgate and 400-watt/115-volt power outlets. LED head- and taillights are also on that list, depending on level of trim chosen. A panoramic sunroof is available for SuperCrew trucks. Optional available safety features include rear cross-traffic alert system, lane-keeping assist system, blind-spot monitoring system and a 360-degree rearview camera.

It’s Brawny

Whether you work here in Charlotte, NC, or make a highway commute between here and the Rock Hill, South Carolina, area, you can equip your 2015 Ford F-150 truck with the motor that suits your needs the best. The largest engine is a 5.0L V8 that produces 360 horses for 380 ft-lbs of torque. A 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine offers 360 horses for a big 420 ft-lbs. A turbocharged 2.7L EcoBoost V6, with exceptional fuel numbers, is also available. The base engine is a powerful 3.6L V6. The sole transmission available on any 2015 Ford F-150 truck is a 6-speed automatic. The weight reduction in 2015 models means an increase in both payload and tow ratings.

A vehicle is an investment, so it makes sense to keep it clean and well-kept. Doing regular cleaning and maintenance makes your Ford vehicle more fun to own and to drive. It also keeps the resale or trade-in value high. When our customers from the region around Matthews, Concord and Monroe NC and even down in the Rock Hill SC region need service and maintenance on their Ford – or cars by other automakers – they come to us because they know we work hard to exceed their expectations. At Performance Ford Lincoln of Charlotte NC, located at 7601 South Blvd, we are here for you! Here are a few ways to make sure you get the most out of your fine Ford car, truck or SUV.

Top Ways To Maintain Your Car

With Service Records

When you decide to sell your vehicle, you can be sure to get a good price from used-vehicle shoppers by keeping complete maintenance and service records that you can present a potential buyer. Having complete records also helps to validate the price you set for your vehicle, which gives that potential buyer peace of mind that your vehicle is in the best state it can be.

On The Inside

It pays to give the interior of your car the care it deserves – and it’s easy, too. Add windshield screens, front and rear, to protect your dashboard and interior fabric from the destructive rays of the sun. Consider adding seat covers to protect the fabric of your seats and lengthen their life-span. There are even different colors and styles to suit any taste. Regular vacuuming and prompt attention to spills also aids you in keeping the value of your Ford vehicle higher for longer.

On The Outside

In the event of damage to your exterior paint job, it is a good idea to have a container of touch-up paint. The color information will be found in the Owner Guide or driver’s-side door panel. If you get a scratch or chip and don’t have touch-up paint on hand, you can still prevent costly corrosion with a dab of clear nail polish until you can get it attended to in our repair shop.

On The Road

Driving aggressively – making jackrabbit starts, speeding, hard stops and the like – increases wear and tear on your Ford vehicle and decreases the resale value quickly. Not only is it much safer to drive non-aggressively, it is easier on your engine, brakes, tires and suspension. Also keep in mind that driving your car as it is meant to be driven can improve fuel efficiency. That means more money staying in your pocket at the pump, as well more money at resale!

Under The Hood

Of course, the very best thing that you can do to keep your vehicle running right is to keep it regularly maintained. A simple oil and filter change is the most frequent – and most important – maintenance you need to do. The guidelines for oil changes are listed in your Owner Guide, or you can call our service department to find out when it needs doing. To keep things straight, it is a great idea to get a multi-point inspection and tire rotation at the time of an oil change.
