Occasionally automakers really do listen to consumers. In the case of Ford, especially with its crowd pleasing F-150 pick-up truck, 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 truly “boss” version of its perennially best selling truck, the F-150, to give many fans just what they have wanted. Read on for a quick preview of Ford’s shortly to be released FX2, a dream-come-true for eager Ford lovers.

With gas costs approaching record levels, some are questioning Ford’s decision to release yet another version of its highly well-liked full sized pick-up truck, the F-150. Yet, requirement for big vans and SUVs continues to remain strong advising that size actually does matter for many clients. True, a smaller truck can be acceptable for some motorists however most contractors require the large carrying capacity of the F-150 thus the continuing high demand of these sorts of trucks. Plus, serious pick-up truck drivers will tell you that there’s nothing that matches the abounding capacity of an eight foot bed in carrying everything from lumber to yard debris to sport gear and more.

As it is with many truck owners, function is one thing while styling is but another. Base versions of the F-150 are enticing and capable enough, but sport concepts have continued to form so much buzz that Ford is responding to shopper demand by building the FX2. Specifically, the new model is in response to the overpoweringly positive buzz a concept version has been receiving at automobile shows everywhere.

So, what separates the FX2 from the average F-150? Plenty, including the following features as shared by Ford in a current 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 blends 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 decisions have not been announced, but Ford has expounded 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 wagon 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 predicated on an existing truck, it does something that Ford is finally learning to do right : listen to its consumers. With the 2007 F-150 FX2, it appears that Ford has responded with certainty.
