Rugged and Refined
Harley-Davidson heritage resonates
throughout this new vehicle. Inside, the
2006 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.
"For the new Ford Harley-Davidson™
F-150, 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."

Elegant high gloss
surfaces, chrome highlights and rich
black leather create a striking
interior environment in the 2006
Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150. |
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 2006
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 4x2 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 2006
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-pounds of torque at 3,750 rpm.

The 300-horsepower
Triton V-8 engine powers the 2006
