All 2011 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150s also come with a new 4.2-inch information display, which debuted in the 2011 F-Series Super Duty. Controlled by a steering wheel-mounted five-way button, this screen, located between the speedometer and tachometer, provides information ranging from fuel economy to towing performance.
The nav system, information screen, power moonroof and remote starter are new to the standard equipment list for 2011.
“The new 2011 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 perfectly blends the flexibility and capability of F-Series trucks with the free spirit of Harley-Davidson motorcycles,” said Eric Kuehn, the chief engineer for the truck’s development. “Both companies have a passion for the road, which shines through in our specialized truck.”
“Overall, we’re trying to reduce the complexity of ordering F-150s,” said Mark Lapine, F-150 consumer marketing manager. “Historically, the Harley-Davidson F-150 has been a premium truck and they’ve tended to be loaded up. We decided to make many of those features standard that were so predominantly being ordered.”
Pricing for the 2011 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 won’t be announced until Ford shows its full 2011 truck lineup in September.
The 2010 Harley F-150 with the legacy 5.4-liter V-8 started at $43,355. The 2010 Ford F-150 Raptor with the 6.2 engine carried a $3,000 premium over the 5.4 version, so we wouldn't be surprised if pricing for the 2011 Harley F-150 starts around $46,000 or higher.
Though a limited-production vehicle, Lapine said sales volume may increase because of the use of the 6.2-liter engine, which also is used in the Raptor and the Ford Super Duty. The 2011 Harley version will get the same horsepower and torque ratings as in the Raptor. That means 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque. That also means a bump in towing capacity to 9,300 pounds -- from 5,300 pounds in the 2010 Harley F-150.
