Does performance ever prove economical? Drivers know this sad answer - no. With every supercharged platform comes a loss of both fuel and dollars, with robust engines demanding endless resources.
The 2018 F-250 will change this.
According to For Construction Pros, the new F-250 defies half-ton conventions - delivering both strength and efficiency. Ford has partnered with renowned aftermarket tuner XL Hybrid to redefine the Super Duty platform. Beneath the hood now sits an electric drive system, which boasts a 1.8-kWh battery pack and a 259-volt traction motor. These elements work together to enhance economy, utilizing lithium-ion energy to bolster the truck’s performance. It directly fuses with the chassis, delivering a steady torque ratio of 220 lb.-ft (which demands fewer resources); and its regenerative braking functions maintain a smooth power-band.
This ensures class-leading mileage - with the F-250 able to achieve a 25% overall output increase. Drivers can now experience up to 21 MPGs, allowing them to spend their time on the highway (rather than at the pump).
To further impress, this system also reduces the truck’s carbon footprint - with its traction motor eliminating C02 emissions by more than 20%. This Super Duty model now proves both cost-effective and environmentally-friendly.

The miles are dark; the moon is gone; and you squint at the road, trying to decipher straightaways from tight turns. This is no easy journey you’re undertaking, and the lack of light has left you overwhelmed.
Ford suggests seeking LED aid.
According to Hot Cars, the 2018 F-150 proves perfect for evening adventures - delivering a full suite of LED lights to North America. Each bulb is strategically mounted to enhance visibility, with lamps positioned:
Front: Along the fascia discover LEDs embedded in the dual power mirrors. These will serve as puddle lamps, both expediting nighttime processes (locate the box-steps, Easy Fuel capless filter, and other exterior features with ease) and delivering safety (should a driver need to step outside of the F-150, these options will alert passing cars to its presence on the side of the road). Daytime running lights also increase visibility in low-level environments and lessen the chance of a collision.
Rear: LED lights frame both the tailgate handle (to ensure drivers can easily locate it) and the cargo bed (with bulbs dotting the long line of the frame and showcasing the four tie-down hooks). A center-mounted stop-lamp further promotes maximum visibility and casts a wide-beam angle. This provides convenient illumination while working at night.
The 2018 F-150 allows drivers to dominate the dark - providing LED protection with every mile. To learn more about these lighting systems contact our team today!
The sacrifice is a common one - with drivers trading style for performance. Their big-wheeled pick-ups offer none of the sleek lines they crave, instead emphasizing bulky capability; and every glance is met with resignation. There’s nothing to be done about this unfortunate half-ton trend.
Ford disagrees. With the release of the 2018 F-250, the Big Blue Oval is redefining pick-up style - introducing drivers to a sophisticated chassis that will thrill with every mile.
According to Kelley Blue Book, the F-250 defies all design conventions. Anchoring this platform is a black bar-style grille, which emphasizes the sharp span of the frame (266-inches long, 80-inches wide, and 82-inches high). Quad-beam halogen headlamps flank the sides, while LED bulbs are strategically mounted along the box (providing both sleek style and improved illumination). Painted steel bumpers mold perfectly across the body; tow hooks draw attention to the sculpted front; and optional cab steps extend six inches, delivering a chrome-plated finish that complements the crisp character lines.
To further showcase the truck’s dynamic profile, Ford has fused it with a series of moldings - adding depth to the wheel-wells, box rails, and tail-gate. These pair effortlessly with the available metallic colors (which include Ingot Silver and Magma Red).
The 2018 F-250 demands no design compromises. To schedule a peek at its super-sized frame contact our team today!
The payload demands are many; the cargo boxes prove endless; and you scowl at your pick-up’s sagging frame, knowing that it can’t accommodate another pound. It’s overwhelmed by this summer haul, leaving you without the trailering performance you need.
Perhaps it’s time for a half-ton upgrade?
According to Kelley Blue Book, the 2018 F-350 proves North America's trailering champion - with its massive frame (266.2-inches in length, 80.0-inches in width, and 81.3-inches in height) and potent engine (6.2L V8) adapting to every load. This Ford pick-up yields up to 21,000 pounds of conventional towing; and its payload capacity reaches 6,950 pounds. There is no haul too great for it to conquer.
How does the F-350 achieve such impressive performance? The Kelley Blue Book team credits its powertrain - which generates 450 HP (at 2,800 RPMs) and 935 lb.-ft of torque (at 1,800 RPMs). The low redline ensures quick acceleration, while electronic on-the-fly technology bolsters the transfer case (automatically identifying the most efficient drive-mode setting). A six-speed automatic transmission has been tuned for heavy-duty efforts, offering Progressive Range Select software to eliminate down-shifting; and a Tow/Haul mode controls traction distribution to maximize balance on every incline.
These systems work in tandem to maintain class-leading capability - branding the 2018 F-350 the perfect pick-up for Alberta drivers. To learn more contact our team today!
