The Ford F-150's GCC year to date sales have more than doubled, as they hit the 115 percent milestone, further confirming the truck's growing popularity in the region. The achievement comes as the F-150 adds yet another recognition to its long list of accolades, being one of only three trucks to get the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's “Top Safety Pick” ranking. And building on this sterling performance, Ford is preparing to launch an improved and refined version for 2013 marking the launch of the latest F-150 with a new statement on pickup luxury for 2013 – the F-150 Limited. F-150 Limited brings uncompromised capability for entrepreneurial and lifestyle pursuits with an electronic six-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode, trailer tow package, trailer brake controller, Reverse Sensing System and power-deployable running boards. PowerFold side mirrors keep warm and dry in inclement weather and help ensure driver visibility with heated glass, memory position functionality, puddle lamps, turn signals and self-dimming actuation. F-150 Limited is powered by Ford's 6.2L V8 engine offering best in Class 411 horsepower at 5,500 rpm; best in Class 434 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm; best in Class towing capacity of 11,300 pounds. To complement that power, sport-tuned dampers are fitted front and rear for confidence-inspiring road dynamics. “The F-150 Limited signifies the highest levels of design refinement, luxury and technology that we've ever offered in a Built Ford Tough pickup truck,” said Ford Group Vice President for Product Development, Raj Nair. “The F-150 Limited reflects a growing trend – more and more customers today have high expectations for luxury and convenience, yet their needs call for a truly capable truck.” – SG
