What is the 2015 Ford F-150 max payload?
We’ve shared the first three videos from Ford’s You Test series — You’ve seen the new 2015 Ford F-150 handle
desert conditions, tow thousands of pounds of
hay, tackled heavy
Basalt rock in the truck bed — and now it’s time for the fourth installment: the Arctic. If you’re wondering, “
What is the 2015 Ford F-150 max payload?,” and you want to know what that really looks like, this is the video you’ll definitely want to check out (bonus reason: bear sightings!). We’ll also give you all the details here.
The You Test participant in this one is a fellow by the name of Lorne Browne, an engineering technologist based in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. Where’s that, you ask? It’s about 150 miles North of the Arctic Circle, and to put it mildly it’s not a place a lot of people are prone to visit and live. In fact, Browne has to make the long trek down to Fairbanks just once a year to gather supplies for the coming twelve months, and herein lies the test for the 2015 Ford F-150.
Browne’s own truck is a 2010 Ford F-150 with a V8, and it’s the one he uses and relies on to make this annual trek. In the video, he’s pretty open about being skeptical that the 2015’s V6 EcoBoost is going to get the job done. He collects enough supplies to fully load both the bed and trailer, maxing all the way out at 11,800 lbs with lumber, food, a woodsplitter, a welder, and tons (literally) of other items.
From there, the journey up the long highway begins, but as Browne points out, it’s not what many of us would think of when we hear “highway.” There are rocks, mud, dust, potholes, rainstorms, and four mountain ranges to cross. In total, the 2015 Ford F-150 with a V6 EcoBoost makes it — the 1,333 mile journey in its entirety — and thoroughly impresses Lorne Browne.
