Occasionally automakers actually do hear consumers. In the case of Ford, particularly with its crowd pleasing F-150 pick-up van, Ford not only is listening, but delivering. What am I talking about? A hot-rod pick-up lorry, that is what. That is right, Ford is going ahead with plans to market a really “boss” version of its perennially best selling wagon, the F-150, to give many fans just what they have wanted. Read on for a sneak preview of Ford’s shortly to be released FX2, a dream-come-true for zealous Ford lovers.

With gas costs approaching record levels, some are questioning Ford’s call to release yet one more version of its highly popular full sized pick-up van, the F-150. Yet, requirement for big trucks and SUVs continues to continue to be strong suggesting that size really does matter for many consumers. True, a smaller truck can be satisfactory for some motorists however most contractors require the giant carrying capacity of the F-150 thus the ongoing high demand of these types of trucks. Plus, serious pick-up wagon drivers will tell you that there is nothing that matches the abounding capacity of an 8 foot bed in carrying everything from lumber to yard debris to sport gear and more.

As it is with many wagon owners, function is one thing while styling is but another. Base versions of the F-150 are attractive and capable enough, but sport ideas have continued to make so much hum that Ford is replying to consumer demand by building the FX2. In particular , the new model is in response to the overwhelmingly positive hum an idea version has been receiving at vehicle shows everywhere.

So, what separates the FX2 from the average F-150? Plenty, including the following features as shared by Ford in a recent press release saying the new model:

— a dark billet grille

— a sporty, deep front valance

–    clear headlights twinned with platinum bezels

— monochromatic paint scheme that mixes in the fender, side mirrors, and door handles with the rest of the truck

–    chrome exhaust tip

–    18 inch wheels

–    black captain chairs with red stitching, available in dress or in leather

–    flow-through center console with floor shifter

Engine choices haven’t been announced, but Ford has said that its favored 5.4L V8 will be offered. The FX2, a two wheel drive auto, will complement an existing off road model, the FX4. Ford builds more versions of its full sized pick up van than any other manufacturer in the world.

Yes, the FX2 is another part of Ford’s “Bold Moves” promotional campaign. While the new model is based on an existing van, it does something that Ford is eventually learning to do right : hear its consumers. With the 2007 F-150 FX2, it appears that Ford has responded with certainty.
