福特近日公布了2019款F-150Limited在美国市场售价，其中两轮驱动版起价68630美元（约合人民币46.91万元），四轮驱动版售价72055美元（约合人民币49.21万元），这两个价格均包括1495美元的运费，相对于2018款车型售价，新车价格大幅提升。2019款F-150Limited增加了一些新的配置，该车搭载的3.5升EcoBoostV6引擎功率与猛禽版本一样，为336千瓦/450马力，扭矩692牛米，相对于现行版有很大提升。该车还提供了新的双色真皮内饰和重新设计的座椅，增加了透气和按摩功能。其实2019款福特F-150Limited的售价已经达到了高端德系豪华车水平。奔驰S级起价9万美元，满血版奥迪A8售价接近83800美元。F-150Limited的售价已经远超包括雪佛兰公羊和GMC等同级车型中的高端版本，只有凯迪拉克凯雷德的售价超过F-15，达到74695美元。目前还不清楚F-150其他版本的售价，但福特似乎想要将Limited版本打造成消费者追求高端皮卡的唯一选择。
Most Expensive 2019 Ford F-150 Limited Could Cost Over $72K
If you fancy a high-end Ford F-150 pickup, better hone your negotiating skills or be prepared to pay quite a bit more. CarsDirect did some digging into 2019 order guides for the F-150 and found the Limited in 2WD format will start at $68,630. The 4WD Limited goes even higher, with a price of $72,055. Both figures include $1,495 in destination charges, but that still amounts to a significant increase from the 2018 model.
Granted the 2019 F-150 Limited will be getting some new equipment, not the least of which is a higher-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 similar to the hardcore Raptor. The engine will make 450 horsepower (336 kilowatts) and 510 pound-feet (692 Newton-meters) of torque which is a major jump up from the current model. It will also get a new two-tone leather interior with redesigned seats offering ventilation and massaging functions.
Still, we’re talking about a Ford F-150 half-ton pickup truck with a starting price encroaching on high-end German luxury car territory. A new Mercedes-Benz S-Class starts at $90,000, and a full-size Audi A8 is a bit closer at $83,800. Looking at the F-150's crosstown rivals, its price far exceeds the highest trim levels of competing pickups from Ram, Chevrolet, and GMC. Only the king of SUV-bling itself, the Cadillac Escalade, is in the neighborhood with a $74,695 base price.
The report doesn’t cover pricing for other F-150 trim levels, but it appears Ford is ready to double-down on its luxurious Limited model as the only choice for buyers seeking a high-end pickup.
