Even with the skepticism that came along with the fact that this pickup truck would be using aluminum body components, the 2015 Ford F-150 has proven to be very durable for all the off-road hunters and fishers out there. The truck is 700 pounds lighter than the 2014 model, but this has allowed the increase in the tow rating by 1,100 pounds (max 12,200) and the payload rating to 3,300 pounds. The weight-saving has also helped increase cooling efficiency by 30%.

Still not sure how the reduction on the truck’s weight decreases the durability? When it comes down to the truck’s performance on an off-road course full of steep hills and rugged terrain, the new suspension and offset shock-absorber makes the drive easier to handle while towing and is ideal for a smoother ride. The redesign of the new frame as well as the tucked-up underbody components plays a big part in greater stability and ground clearance as well.

Don’t worry about space because the truck provides folding rear seats and a flat floor that provides greater storage space–enough room for you to kennel your dog as well as your gear. It’s 19.3 foot long structure only makes it the perfect truck to store all your gear.

The concept of the whole aluminum truck was a gamble, but it paid off because the F-series has become Ford’s golden goose. The one product line alone could qualify to be a Fortune 100 company!

Even if you don’t care much about fuel efficiency and an eco-friendly truck when it comes down to your hunting and fishing, Ford has put it into consideration for you. The improvement in fuel economy helps both you and the environment. By shedding off hundreds of pounds, the half-ton Ford F-150 pickup class sets a new benchmark in weight for all other trucks in the business.

It’s the perfect truck for any off-road adventures, and it’s our number one vote for hunting and fishing truck of the year… until next year’s model!
