Ford Announces Its Newest Pickup, The Ford F-150, Which Has The Capacity To Tow Up To 3.5 Tons And A Range Of Over 1,000 Km.

On last Friday (10), Ford announced the arrival of the F-150 pickup in the country. The model is the largest in its category within the company’s catalog, with the capacity to tow over 3.5 tons and features advanced steering assistance systems, nearing what is expected from semi-autonomous technologies.

The Ford pickup is massive in practically every way, starting with the engine, which is the same used in the Mustang. It features a Coyote V8 that delivers 405 horsepower, with 56.7 kgfm of torque, working alongside a 10-speed transmission.

What makes the Ford F-150 different from the iconic sports car is its torque delivery at low revs, allowing the driver to carry weight more easily, as this vehicle is not focused on racing.

In its bed, the Ford F-150 can carry up to 728 kg of cargo in the Lariat model and 681 kg in the Platinum, while both can hold 1,370 L of volume. For towing, the model easily carries 3.5 tons.

Both outside and inside, there is a lot of cutting-edge technology installed and comfort for all occupants. In total, there are 6 USB ports, three of type A and three of type C, along with three 110-volt outlets capable of delivering 400 W each. This makes it possible to even plug in an 8K TV, for example.

The model features 8 airbags and assisted steering systems, with adaptive cruise control that can stop and go, blind-spot monitoring that works even with a trailer attached, automatic braking, forward collision warning with help to steer away from an accident while considering lateral traffic, automatic headlights and wipers, lane-keeping assistance, and a 360-degree camera with detection of small objects in the rear to prevent any issues.

Ford has also installed an assistant that brakes the car if the driver enters an intersection with another vehicle approaching from the opposite direction. The same applies to cross traffic when exiting parking spaces.

Ford states that its pickup will start pre-sales on February 14 for those who have already purchased a vehicle from the company, or on the 16th of the same month for everyone else.

The brand has not disclosed the price of the Ford F-150, which, in addition to the number of speakers, has changes in versions only in the trim with more chrome in the Platinum and darker matte finish in the Lariat. The Ford pickup has everything it takes to compete equally with the RAM 1500, which costs on average R$ 445 thousand.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

Two new 300cc models from QJ Motor are expected to arrive in Brazil as SBM to target the CB 300F and shake up the low-displacement market, with more power and liquid cooling than Honda.

Federal Police involved in the case to identify the person responsible for hacking the Civil Defense system, which sent ten false alerts, frightened residents of different capitals, and turned messages about real risks into notifications with “misanthropy” and even alien attacks.

Extreme drought causes ghost village to reappear at the bottom of the reservoir that supplies Athens, revealing houses, a school, and ruins swallowed since the 1980s as the lake shrinks and exposes the water crisis threatening the capital of Greece.

Camaro may reappear in 2027, but not as you remember: Chevrolet prepares the return of the icon with four doors, manual transmission, and an extreme performance version to face the new era of sports cars.

In Virginia, a family of small-scale farmers refused to swap the countryside for the city and transformed their milk production into award-winning artisanal cheese from Mantiqueira de Minas.
