Get a First Look and Drive the Game Changing 2015 Ford F-150

How would you like to be one of the first in the country to drive the 2015 Ford F-150 pickup?

A tour allowing consumer test drives of the highly anticipated all-new Ford F-150 has begun in 38 markets across the United States.

We get our first look here in the Salt Lake City, Utah area starting next week.

Visit F150Drive.com to be one of the very first people to drive the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 truck before it's available to the public and enter the Sweepstakes for a chance to win one!

Here is some information provided by Ford for the ongoing event:

“The new F-150 is a game changer,” said Doug Scott, Ford Truck group marketing manager. “Truck customers are going to learn about and experience the F-150’s new features and improved performance from the best place possible – the driver’s seat.”

Tour vehicles will feature the all-new 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 that produces 325 horsepower and 375 lb.-ft. of torque and includes Auto Start-Stop designed to enhance fuel economy in stop-and-go driving. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost that produces 365 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque will be available to test drive as well.

“This is the most anticipated truck in Ford history,” said Scott. “Consumers will see for themselves how Ford reinvented the pickup, and experience how the all-new F-150 is a more capable and efficient tool that can make their daily lives easier and more productive.”

The tour also will feature interactive displays to help consumers gain a better understanding of the technical aspects of the all-new F-150, including its high-strength steel frame construction and high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body panels.

If you do not live in the Utah area, here is a list of tour stops by route:

Viral Video: Jeff Gordon Test Drive

NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon goes undercover in this promotional prank for Pepsi MAX which has become a viral sensation on social media.

Watch as this unsuspecting car salesman goes with mild mannered "Mike" on a test drive of a 5th generation Chevy Camaro. As you can imagine, things get pretty wild.

It all ends well though as the car salesman smiles and says, "Wanna do it again?".

National Plug In Day to Feature Electric Vehicle Test Drives

Sunday is National Plug In Day!  Sixty cities all over the country will be holding events to celebrate and provide free test drives of electric cars.

Here in Utah the Salt Lake City event will be a music festival with a wide variety of electric vehicles on site.  It will be a great time to learn more about these vehicles.

There are at least a dozen EVs on the market right now for lease or purchase including pure electrics, extended-range electrics and hybrids.  They include the Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Mitsubishi iMiEV, Plug-in Prius, Ford Focus EV, Honda Fit EV, Fisker Karma and the BMW ActiveE Coda.

The Plugged-In Music Festival and EV Drive planned for the Gallivan Center from noon until 6p.m. on Sunday, September 23rd will feature many of them.

A possible star of the show could be the new full size "Volt style" electric pick-up truck and SUV that averages over 100 MPG by VIA Motors, a Utah based EV manufacturer.  This Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) enables larger 4WD vehicles, including SUVs and light trucks, to drive the first 40 miles in all-electric mode with near zero emissions, and a full range of 400 miles on a single fill-up. For most drivers, this means a full range of over 100 MPG in typical local daily driving.  The VIA Motors E-REV powertrain can be applied to a large variety of light trucks, SUVs and delivery vehicles, making it ideal for fleet vehicles. This E-REV powertrain was designed to work in popular light trucks such as the GM Silverado, the Ford F-Series and the Dodge Ram series of trucks.
