The current Ford F-150 is gearing up for its first mid-cycle refresh as these spy photos show. Ford is preparing the truck for the 2018 model year and is expected to debut the truck in the coming days at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. The test mules clearly show Ford is reworking the grille and rear end, along with developing a new diesel engine. Yep, the F-150 is finally going compression-ignition! Add to that the recent official news that Ford would introduce a hybrid F-150 version before 2020.
The F-150 is Ford’s biggest seller and highest profit-maker, so it’s completely understandable why Ford pays it so much attention. The current F-150 debuted for the 2015 model year, so it’s not really old. In fact, it still remains the newest full-size, half-ton pickup in the segment – beating the Chevy Silverado by a year and the Ram 1500 by six.
Ford has not released any official information regarding the 2018 F-150, but these spy photos speak for themselves. That, and the conformation of a hybrid drivetrain, means big changes are coming to the pickup.
Let’s dive into what information we’ve got so far.
