The Ford F-150’s origins are wrapped in blue collars and dusty fingerprints. The truck has become a staple of the North American workforce, delivering power and performance in even the harshest industrial environments. A upcoming upgrade, however, will change that.
According to the LA Times, the F-150 will soon receive a luxury makeover. Ford - desiring to expand its market domination - will fuse the pick-up with a series of upgrades, creating the most dynamic half-ton option in both Canada and the United States. Drivers should expect:
22-inch polished aluminum wheels.
Laser-carved identification numbers.
Satin finishes.
Chrome badging.
Premium leather seats.
Eucalyptus wood trim.
Technology systems (including trailer backup assistance, forward collision alerts, self-parking and a 360-degree camera).
Exterior redesigns (including a new grille).
Excited? We certainly are!
This F-150 design will be available in 2016, giving all drivers something to look forward to.

The F-150 is many things - powerful, dependable, durable. Few, however, have deemed it aerodynamic. Its signature box shape is more suited to backroad towing than efficiency.
In its quest for superior economy, however, Ford has recently redefined its signature pick-up, bringing precision to every line. The air curtain has arrived.
According to Gas 2, Ford will soon fuse the F-150 with an air curtain (a specialized vent beneath the headlamps that redistributes wind flow). This design will decrease overall drag, allowing the truck to sustain best-in-class mileage ratings of 19 city MPG and 26 highway MPG. This, when combined with aluminum framing and an EcoBoost engine, ensures enhanced fuel results.
It also ensures that drivers receive more than power from their pick-ups - with a fluid platform promising fewer stops at the pump. Save time, save money, save patience.

North America’s favorite three-row SUV has made its debut in Saskatchewan and Alberta showrooms, and it is truly stunning. Besides its classy new design, Explorer has some new features that we are excited to show our local customers. Below we have listed a few of our favorite new features:
Tow Your Toys
You don’t have to choose between fuel efficiency and performance. By significantly improving the horsepower and torque of their latest 4 cylinder Ecoboost engine, Ford has equipped the new Explorer with the capability to tow up to 3000 pounds.
Explorer Meets Platinum Luxury
The ultimate style and comfort trim has been added to the Explorer, and it looks incredible. Satin chrome finishes on the whole vehicle and an ultra-comfortable interior grace this fully loaded, automated SUV.
Terrain Management System Keeps You On Track
Saskatchewan and Alberta weather, and road conditions, can change in minutes. Explorer’s shift-on-the-fly terrain management system allows your vehicle to adapt to changing road and terrain conditions, and the vehicle constantly monitors and controls wheel slip and vehicle sway, allowing you to have peace of mind in all conditions.
2016 marks the 25th anniversary of Explorer, and we are impressed with how far this SUV has come. What do you think about the Explorers new looks? Let us know in the comments below.
Across the southwestern corner of the United States is a treacherous stretch of sand. Desertscapes - dunes, dust and deep ruts - shape the miles, and few drivers dare to travel across. Their engines, they fear, would surely fail in such an unforgiving environment.
Ford isn’t seeking forgiveness. It’s instead seeking a challenge - which is why it recently put its 2017 F-150 Raptor through a series of grueling desert tests.
According to Mustang and Fords, the F-150 Raptor conquered a 1000-mile route through the southwest. It powered through sand washes, rolled over silt beds and climbed steep hills: all while maintaining steady speeds of 50 MPH. This number proves important, being 25% faster than the last Raptor variant and showcasing new design improvements. These include:
A 3.5L V6 engine.
Direct fuel injection technology.
Twin turbo-charge technology.
Bolted-on steel powertrain.
Enhanced off-road suspension.
Aluminum bodywork.
These elements combines for a lighter, fiercer Raptor - one that can effortlessly conquer even the harshest roads.

Automotive sales are in flux. Leading manufacturers - such as General Motors, Fiat and Chrysler - have experienced wavering profits, with some weeks spiking high and others tumbling low. It’s been a battle for consumer confidence.
Ford has been winning its inventory war, however. The company recently experienced a North American resurgence and much credit goes to the newly redesigned F-150.
According to The Detroit Free Press, the 2015 F-150 achieved average dealer sales of $44,000 in June. This is a significant increase from last year (when the total was only $40,300) and has shattered Ford’s previous records. Critics attribute this success to the truck’s new design: which combines high-strength aluminum framing with a 12,200-lb. towing capacity and a 3,300-lb. payload capacity. This generates best-in-class results.
The 2015 F-150 has proven popular with drivers, adapting to all performance needs. Its enhanced economy (aided by an optional EcoBoost engine) and lightweight design ensures success on any road. It’s the ultimate pick-up for Saskatchewan and Novlan Bros. is now proud to offer it.
