2011 has been a great year for all of Ford's models, including both new and revitalized models. But, one model stood out from the others. The legendary Ford F-150 is now a top seller in the industry.

Huntington Beach Ford in Huntington has a wide selection of new and pre-owned F-150 trucks. The next generation of F-150s have a lot to be proud of.

Overall, "EcoBoost models accounted for 40 percent of all F-150 sales, which is impressive considering that the boosted mill comes with a $895 price premium compared to the very capable 5.0-liter V8. Still more impressive is the fact that Ford also sold plenty of 3.7-liter V6 models as well, and the overall take rate of V6 engines is over 50 percent on the year," according to Auto Blog.¹

This year the American automaker daringly took the chance of discontinuing their long running Ford Ranger light duty pickup in favor of a larger F-150. But, the American automaker knew they had to make it as green as they could. And without a doubt, Ford engineers did just that. With a V6 boosted Eco-powerplant (initially released in 2009) the F-Series has grown up and made Papa Ford proud.

With V6-powered models selling so well, we expect serious foreign and domestic competition with environmentally friendly truck engines in the upcoming years.
