The Texas State Fair can only mean one thing: Which automaker can out-truck the other.
Fordis casting one of the first stones -- a new F-150 King Ranch. It has a
new grille, 20-inch wheels, special King Ranch chrome and lots and lots
of leather.
"While others are just starting to understand the
appeal of Texas innovation and luxury, we're proud to have worked with
our longtime partners at King Ranch who helped define both," said Ford
General Marketing Manager Dave Mondragon in a statement. "The latest
F-150 King Ranch extends this honor and tradition."
The 2013 comes
with a choice of 5-liter V-8 or 3.5-liter turbocharged EcoBoost
six-cylinder engine that has defied even Ford's own predictions about
its popularity.
By the way, there really is a King Ranch. It covers 1,300 miles of Texas and there are 260 Ford pickup trucks that roam it.
