Posted on

Everyone needs a truck at some point in life. You may need one to move something from one place to another, to pull your boat or camper, or to haul a load of dirt. While some people need one more often than others, there is nothing like owning one when you need it. If are a guy or girl looking to purchase a new truck, you don't want to overlook the Ford F-150 lines. While there are a lot of trucks on the market, there are not too many that can compare with the advantages of owning an F-150.

Longevity

When it comes to automotive products, trucks come and trucks go. Many manufacturers will produce a model for a few years and then discontinue it as the demand declines for it. This is not the case of the Ford F-150. With the first model rolling out in 1948, Ford has been producing this vehicle for almost sixty years.

To keep the truck up to date and give their clientele what they are looking for, Ford has rolled out a new model which is referred to as a new generation approximately every 4-5 years. The current model which debuted in 2015 is the thirteenth generation produced.
