Spied! Ford Looking Into LED Bed Lighting
Posted by Mark Williams | February 13, 2012
It looks like Ford is preparing a new LED package for its revamped F-150, complete with LED light bars under the lip of the truck bed, as evidenced by this prototype caught by one of our spy shooters taking a break from a testing run.
The LED package on the F-150 Platinum remained lit for a few minutes, giving them just enough time to grab a few nighttime shots of the illuminated bed. The LED system also includes diode strips on the side mirrors. One word of caution to the Ford guys: Don't go overboard like Audi has been doing recently.
As Chevy prepares for an all-new Silverado for the 2014 model year, Ford's F-150 overhaul program is becoming more important by the day. Thoughtful, new details and updates like this LED truck bed lighting are the types of things that Ford planners can use in a cost-effective way until an all-new F-150 arrives; we're hearing for the 2015 model year.
Although we haven't seen any evidence of the LED-lit truck bed on Ford's revamped Super Duty, we would expect the system to be available on the heavy-duty models soon after they debut on the half-tons.
Damn, already getting the feeling my 2012 screw is behind the times ?
