Bessemer's Town & Country Ford says it is the first dealership in the state to receive a shipment of new F-150 pickup trucks that run on propane instead of gasoline.
"We received two of the new Roush F-150 trucks that use a liquid propane injection system," said Town & Country President Steven D. Watts. "It has the same horsepower and torque as a gasoline-powered truck with the same engine."
One of the new trucks was pre-sold. The dealership will be the only one in the state to carry the trucks and will carry them as demand dictates. They cost about $10,000 more than a comparable traditional F-150.
The Propane Education and Research Council commissioned Roush Performance Products to design and manufacture the propane-powered F-150 in 2006.
