The 2012 State Fair of Texas (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/texas+state+fair/) is set to fire up this weekend in the Lone Star State, which means domestic automakers are in the mood to talk about trucks. Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) is using the occasion for two major announcements, the first being that the F-150's standard 3.7-liter engine can now pull a class-leading 6,700 pounds. That's 200 pounds more than the 2013 Ram 1500 (http://www.autoblog.com/ram/1500/) and its 3.7-liter V6, and a whopping 1,300 more than the Chevy Silverado (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/silverado/) when powered by General Motors' 4.3-liter V6.
The second announcement is the debut of the 2013 F-150 King Ranch. The King Ranch has been offered by Ford since 2000 when the Blue Oval and the very large, very old and very much still in operation Texas-based King Ranch partnered up, making this year's model the 12th edition.
The 2013 F-150 King Ranch features its own version of the truck's new three-bar grille, and its two-tone exterior can be complemented with optional 20-inch machined aluminum wheels. Buyers can also opt for monochrome paint, HID headlamps, as well as a unique King Ranch chrome package. The interior features all of the latest Ford tech, including MyFord Touch (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/myford+touch/) and ambient lighting, and can be ordered in the King Ranch's trademark Adobe colors or black. Powering the King Ranch are your choice of Ford's 5.0-liter V8 or 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, though both are mated to the same six-speed automatic transmission.
So yes, the King Ranch is not much more than an F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150/) with an earthy color palette, lux'd up interior and a unique set of wheels, but it's also one helluva handsome truck in our eyes.Continue reading 2013 Ford F-150 King Ranch bows in Texas, V6 claims towing title (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/27/2013-ford-f-150-king-ranch-bows-in-texas-v6-claims-towing-title/)
