The competition proved fierce - with V8 engines roaring and tires stirring dust. Pick-ups battled for dominance, delivering angry all-terrain thrusts; and, in the chaos, many steel-bellied beasts fell, their a-frames crushed and their trailers toppled.
One did not. The 2017 Ford Super Duty instead rose above challengers, earning the title of Truck of the Year from the Detroit Free Press.
As the new year approaches, the Detroit Free Press has delivered a list of 2016’s most impressive platforms. It comes as no surprise that the Super Duty ranked above the rest. This newly redesigned truck (now boasting military-grade aluminum panels to reduce its overall weight and improve speed) delivers exceptional performance, offering a best-in-class towing capacity of 32,500 pounds. It effortlessly accommodates every work demand.
It also accommodates the need for safety. The Detroit Free Press notes that Ford’s latest Super Duty embraces accident prevention - blending adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and front collision alerts with every mile. This provides drivers with the highway experiences they crave.
By pairing power with performance, the 2017 Super Duty blitzes past all pick-ups - and we expect that this trend will continue with the new year.

‘Tis the season for snowy days and blustery nights. Winter has (unfortunately) come and it’s brought caution with it, with drivers unsure of how to conquer this blizzard blitz. They move carefully through every mile, their speeds tentative and their confidences shaken. They don't know what to do.
Ford suggests relying on its 2017 Raptor.
Though the F-150 proves an unlikely (and unexpected) ally in the battle against winter, Ford recently revealed the all-season power of its signature truck - with performance racer Ken Block pushing its twin-turbo 3.5L EcoBoost engine to the limits. This isn’t merely a pick-up. It’s instead an icy conqueror. Check it out!
The 2017 F-150 Raptor is tailored for all terrains... and all conditions. With its exclusive FOX suspension system and custom drive modes (which allow for precise control and navigation, responding instantly to changing inclines), it can maneuver through even the wildest winter weather. A new 10-speed automatic transmission promises seamless shifting in the sleet, while a direct fuel injection system delivers high-performance results.
Through this, the Raptor can effortlessly push past every snow bank - allowing drivers to (finally) enjoy the season, rather than fearing a sudden drift.

Performance defines the days - with drivers seeking out accelerated speeds and enhanced power. They crave platforms that can adapt to both work and play, and their expectations prove high.
It’s no surprise, therefore, that they’ve chosen the 2017 Ford Super Duty to meet those expectations.
According to Madison, the 2017 Super Duty has dominated sales - achieving a staggering 24% year-to-year increase. Drivers have flocked to dealerships, wanting to sample V8 power and flex-fuel efficiency; and this has led to record-shattering profits.
The Novlan team isn’t surprised. With the release of the 2017 Super Duty, Ford redefined the pick-up market - connecting North Americans to a series of custom performance options and best-in-class results. This line-up accommodates all needs, boasting brand-exclusive features like the Trailer Reverse Guidance System (which streamlines every reversal) and the BLIS system (which promotes safe driving through cross-traffic alerts and lane departure warnings). The truck impresses with every mile.
It also impresses on the charts. Madison notes that, through the Super Duty’s stellar sales, Ford has posted a 33% total retail increase for the year. This promises a positive beginning for 2017.

It’s been a series of staggering highs and unexpected lows. North American automotive sales have shifted with each month - reflecting the trends of budget-conscious consumers and highlighting weaknesses within every brand. Ford was no exception, with its signature Mustang and Fusion revving over rocky roads. These popular platforms failed to generate the wanted numbers, and profits stumbled.
The F-Series has provided stability.
According to Business Wire, unlike its pick-up competitors, the F-Series has managed to maintain a strong (steady) margin. In October it experienced a two perfect increase, with 65,542 total units sold. This helps to bolster an already impressive 2016 performance, allowing Ford to post a 0.1 year-to-year rise.
A quick glance may lead consumers to dismiss this achievement - but critics are already praising the company for its adaptable designs, best-in-class power, and smart infotainment capabilities. These elements allow the F-Series (particularly the F-150 and Super Duty) to conquer a crowded market. It’s defied industry trends by consistently increasing its overall sales.
We’re not surprised. The Ford F-Series has always resonated with our customers - and we know this will continue for many years to come.

November proved a month of revelations - with Ford allowing drivers to peer behind the proverbial curtain to catch a glimpse of its production lines. On those lines sat a series of F-150 performers and Super Duty powerhouses, each primed for 2017. The Go Further future is almost here.
According to Ford Authority, the pick-up market will soon experience a boom of F-Series capability. New concept builds for the F-150, F-250, F-350, Raptor, and Super Duty have been released - and each promises incredible off-road adaptability and long-haul strength. These trucks were first displayed at the 2016 SEMA event and they’ve since made their ways out of Las Vegas (and onto the highways for testing).
Check it out!
A new year will soon begin - and with it comes Ford power. The company is planning a global launch of new F-Series platforms, pairing with noted aftermarket tuners (including Air Design, TS Designs, Skyjacker Suspensions, and MAD Industries) to enhance their HP and payload abilities. Eight custom trucks are now anticipated and, while no official specs have been released, details are already swirling about new V8 EcoBoost engines for all.
Are you excited? We certainly are! The Novlan team can’t wait to see the SEMA displays in Saskatchewan.

Power remains the cornerstone of the Ford F-150. With each generation comes staggering capabilities - with every payload increased and every long-haul extended. This truck is meant to perform.
That performance will soon expand beyond all expectations.
According to Torque News, Ford is mulling a new engine for its 2020 F-150. A 4.8L V8 powertrain is now being considered, with the brand wishing to revitalize its signature truck. By delivering a new V8, it could achieve improved strength, with critics estimating HP ratios of more than 400 and torque ratios of more than 390 lb.-ft. This would ensure best-in-class results with every mile.
It would also ensure best-in-class economy. Rumors swirl that the 4.8L platform will also feature EcoBoost technology. This will allow the 2020 F-150 to continue its trek toward efficiency, with Ford emphasizing reduced fuel demands to compete with mid-size models.
We’ll admit: we’re excited. Even though this F-150 future proves distant, we’ve already got our eyes on the horizon - searching for the first hint of a new V8.

With best-in-class performance comes a series of broken records - payloads and MPG possibilities, trailering and highway speeds. The 2017 Ford Super Duty has earned many titles.
Few, however, prove as unexpected as its most recent one.
According to Road/Show, the 2017 Ford Super Duty was recently named the world's Best Flag Puller. At the Homestead-Miami Speedway, the pick-up delighted crowds as it hauled a massive 45-foot x 92-foot American flag across the pavement, with the red and white stripes billowing dramatically in the breeze. This feat shattered the previous record held by Chevrolet (it only managed a 40-foot x 80-foot span).
Impressed? We certainly are... and perhaps a little bemused. This is not the usual test of strength given to pick-ups. We know, however, that Ford crafts each Super Duty for every day and every occasion. Pulling an oversized flag is no exception.

The 2017 Super Duty is an undeniable powerhouse - and this latest record (however surprising) further cements its place within the Ford family.
The 2016 SEMA show has ended, leaving drivers bereft of high-performance powertrains and striking concept cars. This event (which serves as the world’s largest collection of automotives and mobility technology) has created a hole within the market - one that seems impossible to fill.
Ford is ready to conquer that impossibility. The 2017 F-150 Raptor Pre-Runner is coming.
According to PickupTrucks.com, Ford revealed its 2017 Raptor Pre-Runner at the SEMA show. This off-road powerhouse thrilled guests, with its 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine promising all-terrain domination. The wide stance created a rugged look, with 9-inch differentials resting on sharply arched fenders; and the 39-inch wheels added undeniable gravitas. Custom FOX shocks completed the sporty effect, delivering coil-spring designs to properly distribute impact weight.
What truly impressed SEMA guests, however, was the Pre-Runner’s multi-terrain technology. With the press of a button, this truck can effortlessly shift from Sport Mode to Baha Mode and everything in between - providing custom responses for every road. Through this, it ensures dynamic adventuring for every driver.
We’ll admit it: we want the Pre-Runner on our lot... and in our garages!

There’s a rumble down the road. It comes with steady power, cracking the pavement and shaking the ground. Those heading to the 2016 SEMA show all turn, awe-struck by the shadow that’s rolling ever-closer. It’s massive; it’s ferocious; it’s... a Ford F-150.
Ford is bringing a fleet of F-Series models to the 2016 SEMA show, with its line-up stuffed with supercharged power and V6 performance. Among the many custom pick-ups will be the Bojix... and the Novlan team desperately wishes we were in Las Vegas to see it.
Torque News reports that Ford’s custom Bojix F-150 will makes it debut at SEMA. This pick-up promises exceptional power, delivering a robust 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine. Through its twin-turbocharged platform - which pairs an advanced intercooler, a new exhaust system, and a Full Race intake system - it should generate up to 375 HP and 470 lb.-ft of torque. This would allow the truck to compete with every heavy-duty model, providing all-terrain capabilities for North America.
We’ll admit: we’re in awe. The Bojix F-150 combines all of the F-Series’ signature traits, creating a pick-up that impresses with every mile.
What do you think about this F-150 variant? Do you want to see Ford release it to the public or do you think it's just too much for the highway to handle? Share your thoughts with us today!
The results are in. Throughout the year, drivers have waited in anxious anticipation - wondering if the 2017 F-150 would provide much-needed efficiency. Ever-rising fuel prices and ever-hectic miles created a need for enhanced performance, and pick-up fans demanded more from their platforms than mere power.
Those demands have finally been met.
According to Road Show, the 2017 F-150 delivers impressive mileage - with its 3.5L turbocharged V6 engine yielding 18 MPGs in the city, 25 MPGs on the highway, and 21 MPGs combined. These numbers prove ideal for today’s budget-conscious market, allowing drivers to experience more precise heavy-duty hauling.
They also allow the 2017 F-150 to pull ahead of the pack. Ford’s signature pick-up now boasts best-in-class economy, pushing past leading competitors (the Chevrolet Silverado and the Dodge Ram). It generates superior performance, blending auto start-stop technology with a new 10-speed automatic transmission to maximize every drop of fuel.
Don’t assume, however, that Ford has forsaken its trademark power. The 2017 F-150 promises 375 HP and 470 lb.-ft of torque, pairing efficiency with staggering capability.
The Novlan team is certainly impressed - and we know our customers will appreciate this fusion of strength, speed, and MPG ease. To learn more about the 2017 F-150 contact us today.
