by Ford F-150 Lobo: A Factory Pickup with a Sporty Character
Ford has introduced a new special version of its flagship F-150 pickup called Lobo, which translates to “wolf” from Spanish. This model received an aggressive design with a 10-piece body kit, a new radiator grille, and a rear suspension lowered by 2 inches. The atmosphere is enhanced by 22-inch wheels, LED headlights, and stylish Lobo badges.
Technical Features
Under the hood of the Lobo is the standard 5.0-liter V8 engine with a power output of 400 horsepower, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. While this is sufficient for everyday driving, Ford has left room for modifications for true enthusiasts. As Ford designer Josh Blundo noted:
“We created the Lobo as a powerful and stylish pickup, but we understand that some customers will want to add a personal touch”
Interestingly, despite its sporty appearance, the Lobo remains a full-fledged production vehicle with all the manufacturer’s warranty obligations. This makes it an attractive option for those who want a ready-made tuned pickup without the risk of voiding the warranty. However, some drivers might consider additional modifications to enhance performance, especially considering the vehicle’s weight, which is approximately 2,270 kg.
The release of the F-150 Lobo demonstrates how manufacturers are increasingly trying to meet the demand for special versions that were previously only available through aftermarket tuning. This is especially relevant for the pickup market, where the popularity of “street” versions with aggressive design is growing. At the same time, the question remains open – should a bit more power have been added to this stylish package?
