Two spark plugs per cylinder: Due to the large bore size, two spark
plugs per cylinder are used to more efficiently burn the fuel-air
mixture in the combustion chamber, enabling better fuel economy and
increased engine torque. The twin plugs also help the engine maintain a
smooth, stable idle.
· Dual knock sensors: A knock sensor on each bank of cylinders of the
V8 engine allows the spark timing of each cylinder to be individually
optimized real-time throughout the engine speed range. The engine learns
the optimum timing via an adaptive algorithm.
Taking convenience to the next level
The 2011 Ford Harley-DavidsonT F-150 adds plenty of technology options
to give customers what they are looking for. Key to helping customers
take advantage of all the capability offered by the Harley-Davidson
F-150 is a standard 4.2-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) productivity
screen.
This screen offers menu options, giving the customer important
information related to fuel economy and towing performance. The menu is
navigated through a five-way button on the steering wheel and is
positioned between the tachometer and speedometer.
Additionally, the 2011 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 comes equipped with a
standard voice activated Navigation System that integrates several
functions including voice-recognition destination entry, climate control
and SIRIUS® Satellite Radio into one easy-to-use system, displaying
them on an 8-inch touch screen.
For the customer who wants more control of transmission gear selection,
Select Shift AutomaticT transmission functionality is available. A
toggle switch located on the console shift lever engages the mode, where
the transmission doesn't second-guess the driver, giving him or her
total control over gear selection and performance feel.
Other standard features on the 2011 Ford Harley-DavidsonT F-150 include:
· Power moon roof
· Rear view camera
· Second-row heated seats
· Ambient lighting

Customized Harley-Davidson appeal
The 2011 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 interior is customized to appeal to
the truck buyer who appreciates the attention to detail for which both
Ford and Harley-Davidson are renowned.
Examples are the seats and console lid, which feature handmade cloisonné
badges that are produced by the same company that makes badges for
Harley-Davidson® motorcycles; the console has a limited-edition
serialization plate, which is numbered individually.
"We take creation of the Ford Harley-Davidson trucks very
seriously, but it's also something we have a lot of fun with along the
way," said Design Manager Brad Richards. "We hope that comes
through in each of the finished trucks.
"We ensure Ford Harley-Davidson trucks exude the same bold
personality as the legendary motorcycles," Richards added. "We
take two brands that are undeniably unique and forge a product that
embodies the best qualities of both."
