The Ford F-150 - Harley Davidson Edition

The 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 delivers a new standard of "custom cool," combining the smooth handling and legendary durability of America's best-selling truck with the authentic styling of Harley-Davidson, the industry leader in motorcycles.

This marks the 14th Harley-Davidson edition of an F-Series truck and latest in a line of Ford Harley-Davidson F-Series models dating back to 2000, which aim to appeal to customers who appreciate quality and unique details only this kind of collaboration can bring. The 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 is the first Harley-Davidson edition vehicle built off the award-winning new 2009 Ford F-150.

"This truck builds on the legacy of toughness that's been the hallmark of the Ford F-Series brand," said Matt O'Leary, chief engineer. "Now we're giving customers more of everything they love with the best F-150 and the boldest Harley-Davidson F-150 ever - featuring a fully differentiated design, all-wheel-drive capability, 22-inch wheels and a knockout interior."

The exterior of the 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 offers a bold front fascia and six-bar shaped billet-style grille, and boasts specialized forged-aluminum and Harley-Davidson chrome badging. The truck will have a lowered appearance because of its fully integrated deployable running boards.

Also featured are 22-inch, low-profile performance tires and Euroflange-forged wheels, each with a polished and painted center wheel cap. The paint selection is classic Harley-Davidson - Tuxedo Black and the first Ford application of Lava, a deep maroon with three-color metal flake. The interior is customized to appeal to the truck buyer who appreciates the attention to detail for which both Ford and Harley-Davidson are renowned. Also impressive are the seats and console lid, which features handmade cloisonne badges; the console has a limited-edition serial plate.

Linkage is apparent even in the smallest details, such as adornments on the seats.
"The theme of the seat was designed to resemble a Harley biker jacket," Schiavone said. "We even used authentic materials you'd find on Harley-Davidson MotorClothes brand apparel."
The seat backs feature ribbed leather treatments, engraved Harley-Davidson button snaps and even zippered map pockets featuring zippers from Harley jackets.

On the new F-150, there's a wealth of content complementing its unique appearance. The 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 is equipped with a 5.4-liter three-valve engine, which is rated up to 320 hp and 390 lb.-ft. of torque, and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with a sport-tuned exhaust. Top speed is 115 mph. The truck will be available with 4x2 or an optional all-wheel drive, which features settings of 4x2, AWD and 4x4 high, unique to the Harley-Davidson edition on the F-150 platform. All 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 models will be SuperCrew models.
