Ford Motor Co.’s Dearborn, Mich. is the birth place for the 2015 Aluminum body based F-150 pickup truck. The Ford F-150 is scheduled to arrive at US dealership outlets by next month. Speaking more on the occasion, Ford Motor Company's executive chairman said, “The all-new F-150 continues to advance my great-grandfather’s vision of building vehicles we can be proud of and our customers can depend on.”
