Aluminum Goes Platinum.

The first thing I noticed when the Ford rep gave us a walk-around tour of the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 Platinum 4x4 SuperCrew was its upscale feel — inside and out. And it should. After all this is the top-of-the-line model with nearly every option box checked. Our tester rang the register at $61,195 (including $1,195 destination). That's lots of coin for a half-ton pickup, but it's also quite a bit of truck.
Our Platinum SuperCrew tester was fitted with Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 rated 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. Now that the low volume 6.2-liter V-8 is restricted to the Super Duty pickup line, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost becomes the top engine in the 2015 Ford F-150. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The automatic four-wheel-drive system features a two-speed transfer case. It is also equipped with premium features new to the pickup segment -- more on those features later.
