Pine Belt Ford celebrates arrival of 2018 Ford F-150 pickup

PURVIS, Miss., Nov. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- For generations, the Ford model line has been world-renowned for producing vehicles at or near the top of their respective classes, most notably in the case of the F-150 family of heavy-duty pickup trucks. A serious commitment to strength, precision, durability and innovation both inside and out has created a devoted and endless following surrounding the nameplate, and to commemorate the truck's arrival to Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg-area dealership Pine Belt Ford is giving drivers an exclusive look into its capabilities.

For starters, the 2018 F-150 was built with a chief goal to be lighter and stronger than generations past, something that it has achieved greatly. Its new body construction is 700 pounds lighter than previous incarnations, and a maximum payload rating of 3,270 pounds ensures that drivers will be getting the most out of every day on the worksite. In addition, the F-150 can support up to 13,200 pounds of towing capacity, best in its class.

The pickup trucks of today are expected to also be on the forefront of tech innovation, which the F-150 has no problem achieving. An 8-inch LED Productivity Screen, 360-degree camera and Remote Tailgate Release are just a few of the extensive highlights of the F-150's tech package, which is able to keep drivers connected wherever they travel.

For all of its efforts, the 2018 Ford F-150 has been recognized as the 2018 Motor Trend Truck of the Year and has received a Best Buy Award from Kelley Blue Book. Interested shoppers looking for more details on the truck are encouraged to contact the sales team at Pine Belt Ford directly by phone at (601) 744-1000 or online at pinebeltford.com. From there, customers may schedule a test drive or select the financing deal that fits their budgetary needs. All are welcome to visit the dealership at 120 Highway 589 in Purvis.
