Ford’s king of the road joins another motoring giant to give performance enthusiasts a new definition of custom cool – the
2007 Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 Super Crew. This limited-edition vehicle draws inspiration from more than a century of
tradition at Ford and Harley-Davidson to give customers an F-150 with more attitude than any other truck on the road.
“This truck builds on the legacy of toughness that’s been the hallmark of the Ford brand,” says Ford President Cisco Codina.
“Now, we’re giving customers more of everything they love with the boldest Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 ever – with all-wheel-drive capability, 22-inch polished forged-aluminum wheels and an interior that will take your breath away.”
The 2007 Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 Super Crew is the ninth model to emerge from the alliance that was first forged
in 1999. The successful collaboration between these two icons of the open road has produced six F-150 models, as well as Super
Duty F-250 and F-350 offerings.
Hot-Rod Inspired Custom Looks
For 2007, the Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 Super Crew visually
communicates power, dressed in all black, oozing chrome and sporting distinctive Harley-Davidson visual cues. The Black
Monotone exterior is accented with a hot-rod inspired custom scalloped stripe running along the beltline. The custom stripe
adds to the overall performance feel of the vehicle, creating a sense of motion and speed. “Harley-Davidson” script is featured
along the bed side in three dimensional chrome letters. The new model also features a unique color option, Dark Amethyst, with a
complimentary stripe color.
The custom appearance begins with the bold front-end design, featuring a unique chrome billet grille and blacked-out headlamps.
Based on a Super Crew configuration with a 5-1/2-foot Styleside box, the new 2007 Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 cuts a menacing
profile. Beefy 22-inch polished forged-aluminum rims – unique for F-150 – sport a split five-spoke design, exposed lug nuts and the
distinctive Bar & Shield logo on the center cap. The massive wheels give this ride undeniable attitude.
Between the wheel wells, chrome-accented ground effects help create an integrated appearance and enhance the truck’s powerful
stance. The ground effects and the unique lower front valence, or chin spoiler, help create a lowered look. Heavyweight genuine
zinc die-cast badges on the fenders celebrate the Ford Harley-Davidson alliance. Dark tinted smoked-out tail lamps and headlamps,
a blacked-out bumper and the “Harley-Davidson F-150” badge distinguish the rear. Chrome tie-down hooks and a slash-cut chrome
exhaust tip add even more street-rod appeal.
Rugged and Refined
Harley-Davidson heritage resonates throughout this new vehicle. Inside, the 2007
Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 makes a strong statement of custom-inspired refinement, with an underlying tone of authenticity
and genuineness that has been the hallmark for all Ford Harley-Davidson™ trucks.
“We’ve designed a cockpit that’s
a tribute to the open road,” says Ford F-Series Chief Designer Gordon Platto. “We’ve introduced high-gloss Piano Black cues along
the instrument panel, center stack and console to bring in a feeling of visual motion. Combine that with the rich leather and bright
chrome that’s been such an essential part of all our Harley™ trucks, and you’re surrounded with styling that salutes motorcycle culture.”
Rugged and supple black aniline leather seating surfaces create a distinctive, inviting interior. The captain’s chairs are unique,
sporting a die-cast HARLEY-DAVIDSON Bar & Shield logo embedded in the leather. Elegant high-gloss Piano Black surfaces on the center
stack and door panels are flanked by a Bar & Shield logo-patterned graphic treatment. The striking instrument panel – and the overall
vehicle interior – features a stunning display of chrome, including unique chrome-ringed instruments, chrome handles, vent rings, floor
shifter and door pulls. Adding to the overall custom feel of the interior is a serialized nickel plate showing the vehicle’s production
date and number.
Built for Performance
Enthusiast events such as South Dakota’s Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Daytona Bike
Week in Florida, along with everyday customer feedback, helped shape the performance story for the new 2007 Ford Harley-Davidson™
F-150. Customers said they wanted bigger wheels and all-wheel-drive capability. Besides boasting 22-inch wheels, this truck includes a
performance sport handling suspension that’s tuned to deliver a more precise driving feel.
Customers now also have the choice between 4×2 and all-wheel drive, with the capability to handle more challenging driving conditions
and road surfaces – ranging from dry pavement to winter weather. The new AWD system continuously monitors the wheel speeds and throttle
position to determine the appropriate amount of power to send to the front of the truck to help prevent slip. Customers also can choose
to override AWD by simply selecting the locked mode.
Lurking under the hood of the 2007 Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 is a 5.4-liter, three-valve Triton® V-8 featuring a specially
tuned exhaust system that delivers a more powerful, throatier rumble. It turns out 300 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 365 foot-pound of torque
at 3,750 rpm.
