2016 Ford F-150 Values- NADAguides

2016 model year changes

The Ford F-150 was completely redesigned for 2015, so for 2016 it receives only minor updates. Among the changes, a Pro Trailer Backup Assist greatly aids drivers of all skill levels in maneuvering a trailer while in reverse. Users simply turn a knob left or right to indicate desired direction and the F-150 adjusts its steering and speed to comply. Ford's latest SYNC 3 infotainment system replaces MyFord Touch as a more intuitive option for users. F-150s equipped with the 5.0L V8 offer a new option for running on propane or compressed natural gas, while new special edition packages are available on XLT and Lariat trims. Finally, a new Limited trim tops the range and packages goodies like 22-inch wheels and several convenience options.

Special features for 2016

The F-150 might be the most important vehicle made by Ford. It continues to be one of their top-selling vehicles, encouraging Ford to put their best foot forward with the 2016 model. The F-150 competes with the Ram, the Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra 1500, among others, in the full-sized truck category. Ford is clearly pushing its new technology and new ideas with the F-150, offering plenty of options not available anywhere else in this class, such as a 360-degree camera and integrated loading ramps stowed in the pickup bed. A smaller, more fuel efficient EcoBoost engine is also available, which should further improve fuel economy while providing the same kind of horsepower that would normally be delivered by mid-grade V8 engines. At the same time, the F-150 continues to excel at traditional truck tasks, with a best in class towing capacity of 12,200 pounds when properly equipped.
