The Ford F-150 truck, an iconic figure in the world of trucks, has undergone remarkable modifications that are expected to make it the leader in the most exciting and satisfying trucks globally, especially after Ford began exploring the possibility of launching a special version with six wheels!
The new patent from Ford reveals an innovative method to add a third axle to the wheels without the need for major changes to the current truck's structure. This means that these modifications could become available in the future for those who already own a Ford F-150 truck in various parts of the world.
In this new patent, the process of simply installing the third axle using some screws is explained, without the need for significant modifications to the truck's basic structure. This contributes to reducing the production cost of the new version of the F-150 six-wheel truck.
Despite the simplicity of this modification, details of the redesign of the rear section to accommodate the additional wheels have not yet been revealed. It is likely that the rear compartment will be replaced with a larger one, designed to fit the third axle. This will also make the replacement process easier, thanks to the use of screws.
What makes this new patent even more exciting is that it opens the door to equipping the third axle with an electric motor, significantly increasing the power and performance of the massive truck. Instead of relying solely on the front and rear axles to transmit power, the third axle will be able to benefit from the hybrid power provided by the additional electric motor.
Ford continues to maintain the spirit of innovation and development in its designs. We have recently witnessed numerous innovations and new patents from Ford, and it is likely that we will see exciting changes in the world of cars and trucks in the near future. The transformation of the Ford Mustang into a supercar aiming to compete with high-performance supercar models indicates Ford's commitment to achieving more innovation and adventure. This new patent certainly enhances the enthusiasm of truck enthusiasts and Ford enthusiasts alike.
