为庆祝福特F系列皮卡上市40周年，福特车展发布了2018款F-150改款车。该车最大变化是动力系统，这款铝制车身皮卡这次提供了3.0升V6涡轮柴油引擎，搭配十速自动变速器，但其他技术细节，包括功率，扭矩和油耗，车厂都没有披露。2018款F-150入门级车型搭载一台全新3.3升V6引擎，功率282马力，扭矩253磅-英尺（约合407牛米），各项指标接近老款车搭载的3.5升引擎。另外该车还搭载2.7升EcoBoost V6、3.5升EcoBoost V6和5.0升V8引擎。这三台引擎经过调校燃油经济性和性能都获得提升，不过福特并未透露其性能指标。3.3升V6引擎搭配六速自动变速器，但其他引擎都可搭配十速自动变速器。所有车型都标配启停系统以降低油耗。外观上，新车采用新的双条横杠格栅，向两侧一直延伸至大灯，让人联想到更大的Super Duty皮卡。重新设计的前保险杠进一步强化的车身宽度。一系列新的轮圈尺寸涵盖17/22英寸。福特还对车辆内装进行升级，增加了Dark Marsala和Navy Pier两种颜色，仪表板增加了碳纤维装饰。2018款F-150将于今年秋季上市。
Detroit LIVE: 2018 Ford F-150 gets new look, diesel engine
To celebrate the 40th consecutive year, in which the F-Series is America’s best-selling pickup, Ford has brought the revised F-150 to the 2017 Detroit Auto Show.
Some of the most important upgrades are found in the engine bay. Confirming long-standing rumors, the Blue Oval has announced its aluminum-bodied truck is finally available with a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine. We know that the oil-burner shifts through a 10-speed automatic transmission, but additional technical details -- such as horsepower, torque, and fuel economy -- haven't been made public yet.
The 2018 F-150's base engine is a brand-new 3.3-liter V6 tuned to generate 282 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque, figures that match the outgoing 3.5-liter unit. The pickup is also available with a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, and a 5.0-liter V8. The three carry-over engines have been tweaked to deliver better fuel economy and more performance, though Ford isn't ready to reveal full specifications.
The 3.3-liter V6 retains a six-speed automatic transmission, but the F-150's other engines are bolted to a 10-speed automatic. A start/stop system is standard all across the lineup to keep fuel economy in check.
Visually, the F-150 receives a fresh twin-slat grille that stretches into a pair of new-look headlights, creating a look reminiscent of the bigger Super Duty pickups, and a redesigned front bumper that emphasizes the truck's width. An array of new wheel designs ranging from 17 to 22 inches round out the exterior updates.
Ford has upgraded the interior with two new interior colors named Dark Marsala and Navy Pier, respectively. Select trim levels are available with imitation carbon fiber trim on the dashboard.
The 2018 Ford F-150 is scheduled to go on sale in the fall.
