All-terrain adventures often prove too great for the half-ton market - with trucks engineered for heavy hauls, rather than rough roads. With the unveiling of the RTR (Ready To Rock) Package, however, Ford proves that drivers can indeed transition from work to play.
Get ready, Alberta, for the newly upgraded 2019 F-150.
According to Motor Trend, the 2019 F-150 has been fused with an exclusive RTR Package. This offers a series of off-road options, allowing drivers to conquer even the toughest trails. A custom grille anchors the front, with LED lighting flanking the sides and delivering superior visibility. Fender flares pair with a skid plate, providing superior protection from debris; while Nitto Ridge Grappler tires boast deep treads, cutting through dust and dirt with ease.
Further impressing drivers is the inclusion of FOX Racing dampers. These boast a coil-over design, offering precise articulation and superior suspension support. They enable the 2019 F-150 to move fluidly across rough terrains, automatically adjusting chassis pitch to assure a smooth ride.
With the introduction of the RTR Package, the new F-150 promises dynamic performance on any trail. To learn more about this suite - or to request a test-drive in one of our current F-Series models - contact us today.
Expect more from the full-ton market than mere strength. Instead demand safety with every mile - trusting the intuitive technologies of the 2020 F-250 to defend against collisions.
According to Edmunds, the new F-250 (which is scheduled for a late fall debut) will connect Alberta drivers to premium protection. Anchoring its chassis is a series of automated systems, which can observe, detect, and respond to changing environments. These include:
Lane Departure Warnings - sensors monitor marker positions and vehicle pitch, noting immediately when the F-250 veers from the path. Audio warnings are released, directing drivers to correct their trajectories and restore alignment.
Forward Collision Warnings - radar scanners map the surroundings, identifying both vehicles and pedestrians as they pass. If obstacles are detected at the front of the truck (and the driver makes no attempt to lessen speed), this system will then automatically engage the brakes and avoid a crash.
High-Beams - these halogen lamps activate when visibility is low, enabling drivers to experience steady light and wide-angle support. This improves performance on backroads and sharp turns alike.
The 2020 F-250 proves ready to protect passengers - offering a dynamic collection of safety features. To learn more about its available technologies (or to request information about financing opportunities) contact our team today.
Prepare, Alberta, for a new kind of hybrid experience. Images of the electric F-150 have been released - and they promise exciting changes for 2021.
According to Fox News, the F-150 Hybrid (which is scheduled to enter production sometime next year) will bring unprecedented performance to the market - with Ford pairing this pick-up with an independent rear suspension. No full-size truck currently in North America offers this feature, and critics anticipate that it will redefine the hauling experience. Ride quality will be improved, with pitch ratios automatically aligning to pavement changes; while a lowered spring rate will afford tighter cornering, allowing the platform to remain balanced. Traction will also be increased, courtesy of the seamless wheel connection.
Through this, the F-150 Hybrid will be able to better respond to rough terrains - enabling drivers to push past every obstacle with ease. Combine this with the inclusion of an economical powertrain (a zero-emissions lithium-ion battery will be offered, delivering an expected 10% to 15% increase in overall MPG output) and pick-up domination is assured.

Craving a supercharged experience on the backroads? Ford may soon oblige you - with rumors swirling about a new F-150 Raptor. This pick-up, critics suggest, will redefine every mile.
According to Road and Track, the Raptor may receive a V8 upgrade. Ford intends to launch a new generation of its class-leading F-150 by 2022 and, to ensure a proper send-off, it's considering pairing the final model with a fresh powertrain. A 5.2L engine is anticipated - the same that growls beneath the hood of the Mustang.

According to Forbes, the new F-150 offers more than trailering. It's also one of the market's safest rides - with the IIHS naming it a Top Pick. This award is given to only a few vehicles each year, with its standards proving nearly impossible to meet. Critics place each model through a series of grueling tests, crashing them into obstacles at slow, medium, and high speeds. Each impact is then assessed, with special focus given to the front and overlap results (these are the most common collision points).
The F-150 was recently pitted against the IIHS' safety course - and it passed with flying colors. Forbes notes that this pick-up now ranks among the market's safest options, with its military-grade aluminum-alloy body defending against every impact. The rugged panel design (which utilizes steel inserts to bolster stability) can absorb friction at higher speeds, helping to protect passengers and lessen the chance of injury. Its meticulous design swept all categories, earning an unprecedented Good rating across the board (as opposed to its Toyota and Dodge competitors, which managed to secure only Marginal results).
The 2019 F-150 proves ready to counter every collision. To learn more about this pick-up - or to schedule a test-drive with our team - contact us today.
