Now that Ford Motor Company has handled the supplier issues and gotten up to full speed with the production of the 2015 F150, the automaker is offering as much as $10,000 off of a new half ton pickup in order to get sales numbers up through the summer months.

I recently had a chance to spend a week driving the 2015 Ford F150 XLT with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine and while enjoying the segment-leading fuel economy, I was also able to put this tiny economy engine through the same hard-working tests as every other new truck – and the new super-efficient EcoBoost engine never failed to impress me.
