With the release of the 2018 F-150 Raptor Ford embraced more than power. Instead safety proved the driving force of every decision - with the brand determined to redefine the back-road experience. No longer would rough trails undermine passenger protection.
As AutomobileMag explains, the new Raptor isn’t just a twin-turbo performer. Safety instead defines every mile, with Ford fusing this platform with the exclusive Technology Package. High-beams anchor the front, yielding halogen clarity and increased visibility; while automatic wipers respond to changing moisture levels in the air, ensuring a drop-free windshield. Adaptive cruise software regulates acceleration, instantly engaging the ABS system if its bumper-mounted sensors detect an approaching obstacle; and lane-departure warnings notify drivers of sudden misalignments, assessing trajectory and passing road markers in real-time.
This function is then paired with Ford’s lane-keeping tech - which will smoothly activate the column, guiding the truck back to the proper road position. Speed is decreased; all-wheel braking is applied; and the result is a seamless pitch change, with drivers maneuvered away from potential harm.
These features ensure that the 2018 F-150 Raptor delivers premium security on every trail - promoting peace-of-mind with each mile. To learn more contact us today!

According to Top Speed, Ford is redefining the pick-up segment. Its 2018 Raptor has been fused with a suite of upgrades (courtesy of aftermarket tuner, Hennessey); and the Heritage Edition will soon reign supreme on the charts and byways alike.

Off-road performance has just received an upgrade - with the 2019 F-150 Raptor promising custom power-bands on every hillside. Conquer the miles, Alberta, with help from the new Trail Control system.
According to AutoBlog, the 2019 Raptor proves more than a mere powerhouse. Instead its 450 HP is eclipsed by class-leading precision. Engage the Trail Control system when facing any incline. This console allows users to regulate the truck’s speed - selecting a custom MPH ratio between 1 and 20. The performance-band is tightened, with all sequences slowed to accommodate this change in traction; and torque is seamlessly distributed among the wheels to improve connectivity.
This allows the Raptor to better grip the ground - maneuvering steadily across even the rockiest terrain. The Trail Control system provides drivers with greater confidence, optimizing the four-wheel chassis and creating a smooth acceleration pattern. Once the incline has been traversed a simple push of a button will disengage the function and restore power to its previous levels.
Trail Control will redefine backroad adventures for every Ford fan. To learn more about this technology - or to request a test-drive in one of our current F-150 models - contact us today.
Across North America half-ton fans are staring toward the horizon - searching for the first hint of hybrid performance. Ford, they know, will soon unveil its EV-inspired F-150; and anticipation and anxiety battle for supremacy. What will this new pick-up offer? Will it prove a viable option for the commercial market?
Details remain - frustratingly - scarce about the new F-150; but the Novlan team is thrilled to share few specs we’ve gleaned. We hope they’ll satisfy our customers’ curiosity… for now.
Production Date
The F-150 Hybrid should arrive by 2020. Production is expected to begin in the late spring, with a full North American debut scheduled for the early fall.Â
Construction
Despite its hybrid label, this F-Series model will still boast aluminum paneling - with Ford determined to maintain class-leading strength.

The half-ton market will soon change - with Ford partnering with aftermarket titan, ROUSH, for a new F-150. Prepare, North America, for the arrival of the 2018 SC!
According to Kelley Blue Book, the SC is a monstrous platform - with a 5.0L V8 growling beneath its hood.

Prepare, Alberta, for a hybrid unlike any other - a chimera creature, fused from F-Series strength and Harley Davidson style. The 2019 F-150 Fat Boy is coming… and it will leave the pick-up market forever changed.
According to Maxim, Ford is bringing new power to the highway. The 2019 Fat Boy (named for Harley’s famed bike) will bridge the gap between utility and design. 22-inch wheels deliver milled textures and all-season treading, allowing the truck to roll effortlessly over any challenge; while a bright-polished Flowmaster exhaust system frames the rear to provide maximum intake control. A BDS suspension lift yields up to three extra inches of height, protecting the undercarriage from debris (while simultaneously drawing attention to the chiseled side panels); and custom metallic badges flank the fenders and tail-gate, perfectly complementing the integrated LED running lights and halogen headlamps.
Every angle of the Fat Boy is intended to impress - with even the hood carefully tailored. Ford has sculpted each line to counter engine strain, with a distinctive scooped shape routing cool air to the block. This optimizes temperatures while conquering inclines. It also, critics note, provides a sleek profile.

Searching for a used pick-up? The Kelley Blue Book team suggests the F-150 - recently pitting the 2015 model against top-ranked competitors. In a grueling comparison of strength, this Ford platform proved to be the ultimate half-ton option for drivers: delivering class-leading towing and payload capabilities.
We, of course, already knew this.
According to KBB, the 2015 F-150 delivers long-lasting value. When placed in a hood-to-hood competition with the Dodge Ram, this platform proved superior - with its standard 3.5L V6 yielding 282 HP (6,250 RPMs) and 253 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,250 RPMs).
