1. All-New Ford F-150 Resists Fading
and Damage from Harsh Sunlight

2. Ford uses high quality materials on their vehicles, but
they have now gone even a step further for their
customers. Adding on to the already award winning list
of features on a Ford F-150 is the introduction of added
protection from the sun and its harmful effects on the
finish of your beauty.

3. This added protection comes from thousands of hours
of testing to determine the best materials to protect the
exterior and interior of the vehicle from harsh
elements that the hard working 2015 Ford F-150
owners put their vehicles through each day. Often the
interior of a vehicle fades as well as the exterior. Ford
has a solution for that also. They have redesigned the
interior instrument panel to address the glare and
fading issues. Working with sophisticated computer
software to investigate and find the exact materials
needed to make these changes.

4. Exterior Weather Protection
The creation of this environmental protection coating
was tested to withstand the harsh conditions of
weather and sun that a normal truck would undergo
for a period of five years. The testing involved
targeted the badges that are attached to the vehicle
being exposed to extreme temperatures of forty
degrees below zero to one hundred degrees Celsius.
This was to test the badges for their ability to adhere
to the body without cracking, breaking, or discoloring.

5. Other tests included exposing body parts directly to the
actual elements by racking these parts outside for a
time period of six months. The parts are then collected
and examined with a xenon light to check for damage.
Although the outside of the vehicle may hold up to the
effects of weather for the life of the vehicle, the interior
also needs to be addressed so that it too will still look
great at the end of the life of the truck.

6. Interior Sun Protection
To keep the interior of your truck from fading, and
glare from the sun’s harmful rays, Ford has researched
and targeted the areas that are commonly affected.
This includes the addition of shading the instrument
panel gauges as well as using the least reflective
materials available to construct these panels. The
installation of these new materials also called for new
lighting to illuminate the panel sufficiently for
nighttime navigation.

7. Introducing this new lighting to the interior makes it
easier for the driver to see the instrument panels,
which are now recessed into the instrument panel of
the truck. Having this lighting for the instrument panel
allows for easy determination of the gauge readings in
all types of situations. To add to the interior lighting, a
new dome ceiling light has also been implemented to
illuminate the interior of the truck to a higher level of
light for the total illumination of the interior of the
vehicle.

8. When it comes to the toughest trucks available, the
Ford F-150 has just created an even tougher truck. By
adding extra sun protection to not only the outside, but
the inside also, Ford has made this truck the toughest
yet. The F-150 has long been one of the bestselling,
longest lasting, and most reliable trucks on the market.
With this technology in place, the 2015 Ford F-150 is
sure to become even more popular among the truck
owners of the world. These reliable trucks last a long
time on the road, and now keeping your truck looking
great until the end of its days has been made easier
with added sun protection provided by Ford.
