In 2015 Ford transformed the half-ton market - introducing drivers to its newly revised F-Series. This fleet delivered a design like no other, with its F-150, F-250 and F-350 platforms all fused with military-grade aluminum. The effect proved both striking and economical (shedding more than 700-pounds from each chassis to promote improved fuel capabilities). Strong sales followed and every chart has since been dominated by the Big Blue Oval.

Many critics are, therefore, surprised to learn that Ford intends to unveil a series of new pick-ups to the market. The F-Series is receiving its 14th generation upgrade.

According to Torque News, Ford is currently revising its entire F-Series fleet. Despite the current design architecture proving popular - with drivers seeking out its lightweight frame and smart cargo options, including the BoxLink system (which blends stowable loading ramps with deployable side-steps) - the company wishes to push its technology forward. By 2020 it intends to launch fully revised F-150s, F-250s, and Super Duty models; and, while no official specs have been revealed, many believe that each of these platforms will deliver:

Standardized 10-Speed Transmission: currently an optional F-Series feature, this system should be integrated into the entire fleet. It will allow for smooth automatic responses, reducing gear-strain on tricky terrains.

Increased Aluminum: Ford shattered the half-ton mold when it cast the F-Series in an alloy frame. Now that this material has proven its worth, expect to see it used to even greater effect. New paneling and undercarriage castings are anticipated.

Flat-Loading Floor: Currently found in the Super Crew and Super Cab configurations, this design option should be offered across every truck, providing one-touch storage solutions and durable vinyl materials.

The 2020 F-Series promises to improve upon every Ford feature - and we canâ€™t wait to see these trucks in Alberta. To learn more contact us today.

2018 Ford F-Series Earns More Revenue Than Facebook In Alberta
Tags:

(Posted on Mar 29, 2018 at 11:48AM by Lee Byard)

It seems the most unlikely of competitions - with the 2018 F-Series pitting itself against social media giant Facebook. Both are ready to reveal their revenues for 2017; and Alberta critics snicker in disbelief, certain that Ford will (finally) find itself at a disadvantage. While the Big Blue Oval may dominate the half-ton market, it simply canâ€™t outperform the worldâ€™s largest online network.

Can it?

According to The Detroit Free Press, it most certainly can. The venerable news site has just reported that - in 2017 -Â the F-Series generated a staggering $41.25 billion. This fleet of trucks (which includes the F-150, F-250, and F-350) left all competitors behind, including Facebook (which earned $40 billion, respectively).

How is such a feat possible? In an interview with The Detroit Free Press, Erich Merkle (a Ford analyst) said: â€œOn average, we'll sell about two F-Series pickup trucks every minute. By the time you've finished this article you're reading right now, we've sold another one."

The Novlan team isnâ€™t surprised. The 2018 F-Series has proven an unstoppable force on our lot, delivering best-in-class towing (21,000 pounds when properly equipped) and exceptional power (up to 450 HP and 510 lb.-ft of torque). The inclusion of a new 10-speed automatic transmission further propels sales, providing our customers with the seamless gear ratios they crave. It blends a crisp low-to-mid range capability, quickly engaging the SelectShift functionality to improve performance.

Itâ€™s no wonder that Facebook canâ€™t keep up!

2018 Ford F-150

The 2018 Ford F-150 Is Albertaâ€™s â€˜Best Pick-Up Truckâ€™
Tags:

(Posted on Mar 25, 2018 at 01:47PM by Lee Byard)

It was no easy feat - with the 2018 F-150 forced to endure a grueling series of tasks, pitting itself against the environment and other half-ton platforms. Its performance ratios were tested; its trailering capabilities were pushed to the limits; andâ€¦ it secured an undisputed victory.

The NY Daily News has just declared the 2018 F-150 to be the Best Pick-Up Truck in North America!

The NY team recently sought to discover the most powerful platform in North America. To do this, it created an all-terrain course that would test the capabilities of every major model. Fordâ€™s beloved pick-up (naturally) revved to a first-place finish.

Anchored by a standard 3.3L V6, this truck delivers 290 HP. Its lightweight aluminum design ensures seamless handling, maximizing the available 10-speed automatic transmission and decreasing engine strain (fuel can more easily circulate, generating 18 MPGs in the city and 23 MPGs on the highway). An AWD yields deft responses on even the rockiest roads, while a reinforced steel underbody accommodates every payload. When properly equipped, this model promises up to 3,720-pounds of cargo-box hauling.

Compromise proves a thing of the past.

The 2018 F-150 has just been named the Best Truck on the market - and we know that the only one to usurp this title will be its 2019 successor.

Will Ford Bring A Raptor Bronco To Alberta?
Tags:

(Posted on Feb 28, 2018 at 03:01PM by Lee Byard)

It seems an impossible union - the big-wheeled Raptor and the long-bodied Bronco. How could these two ever join forces? They dominate entirely different verticals (one serving as a Baja pick-up and the other delivering crossover convenience); and their powertrains share none of the same stylings, emphasizing unique performance needs. They could never become a single entity.

Never is a word for other automotive brands. Ford instead embraces the impossible - with a Raptor Bronco currently being considered.

According to Car and Driver, Ford is debating the merits of combining two of its most successful platforms - the F-150 Raptor and the Bronco. In 2020 an entirely new crossover may make its way to North America, blending elements from both vehicles to achieve all-terrain dominance. A 2.7L V6 engine is anticipated, yielding up to 335 HP; while a 10-speed automatic transmission should deliver impeccable shifting, allowing for smoother gear-to-gear transitions. The chassis should feature a four-door profile, with flared fenders and wide 20-inch wheels; and the inclusion of FOX shocks will impress drivers, letting them crisply navigate even the toughest roads.

While we must note that these specs have yet to be confirmed, Car and Driver does seem certain of their validity - drawing comparisons to Fordâ€™s current Everest model (an Australia SUV that may serve as the foundation for the Raptor Bronco).

Are you as excited as we are?

Tags:

(Posted on Feb 28, 2018 at 02:51PM by Lee Byard)

A celebration is in order - with champagne bubbling and banners strung. The 2019 Ford Ranger Raptor will soon make its debut, and drivers across North America are revving up for an automotive party like no other.

We have our confetti ready.

As Jalopnik explains, the 2019 Ranger Raptor is coming to North America. This platform - which has already debuted in Thailand, thrilling the Asia-Pacific market with its twin-turbo 2.0L diesel inline-four engine - will soon make its way across the pond, bringing exceptional power with it. Critics anticipate up to 210 HP and 396 lb.-ft of torque, with a new 10-speed automatic transmission improving every rev. To further impress, the chassis has been tailored for off-road fun, delivering a suite of OEM upgrades:

Fox Racing Shocks - to absorb the impact of every terrain, allowing the suspension to more efficiently adapt to rocks, ruts, and more.

BF Goodrich Tires - to improve traction through all-season treading and wide 20-inch frames.

Composite Fenders - to increase resistance to corrosion, blending both high-strength steel and aluminum materials.

The 2019 Ranger Raptor (which boasts an athletic body, with its front track widened to 11.14 inches) should prove a dominating force on the backroads - connecting drivers to the class-leading capability they crave. Get ready to celebrate, Alberta!

2019 Ford Ranger

Will The 2019 Ford Ranger WildTrak Come To Alberta?
Tags:

(Posted on Feb 28, 2018 at 02:45AM by Lee Byard)

Whatâ€™s that sound? Could it be the rumble of a Duratec diesel engine or is it perhaps the shift of a 10-speed automatic transmission? While we canâ€™t precisely identify the noise, we can at least trace its source - the 2019 Ranger WildTrak is coming!

According to PickupTrucks.com, the 2019 Ranger has been spied in North America - with photographers managing to sneak a peek at it in Detroit. Though the chassis was hidden beneath layers of plastic, critics have been able to discern a few concrete specs. Look inside the cabin and discover custom orange stitching and WildTrak cushion emblems. A 115-volt outlet rests just beyond the passenger door, providing ample power for tools and off-road toys; while the exhaust valve has been moved to the underbody to create a more efficient rear track (this will increase overall ground clearance by up to two inches). The C-Pillar also features unique buttresses, which showcase the newly elongated profile and lend the fenders more depth.

What should most impress drivers, however, is the anticipated powertrain. While no official specs have been confirmed, many critics believe that the WildTrak will feature a Duratec engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering performance similar to Fordâ€™s T6 platform. This would ensure total domination of the compact market and launch the Raptor to the top of the charts.

2018 Ford F-150

The 2018 Ford F-150 Platinum Delivers Impressive Power To Alberta
Tags:

(Posted on Feb 27, 2018 at 01:56AM by Lee Byard)

With the release of the 2018 F-150 Platinum, Ford makes a promise of power to Alberta drivers - offering them V8 performance and staggering trailering capabilities. This is no ordinary pick-up. Itâ€™s instead an all-wheel workhorse that can adapt to any payload with ease.

Slide into the 2018 Platinum and experience a rush of ferocity. This platform will send you sailing down every road, with its 5.0L engine yielding 395 HP and 400 lb.-ft of torque. Direct-injection technology utilizes high-pressure valves to improve fuel usage, while Ti-VCT functionality promotes steady bursts of power. A 10-speed automatic transmission boasts Tow/Haul mode capabilities, promising crisp gear shifts with every load; while rack-and-pinion steering connects to an available 4x4 drivetrain. This combines a two-stage rear suspension with a strut-front to ensure smooth handling.

The 2018 F-150 Platinum is a beast on the backroads - delivering up to 11,100 pounds of towing when properly equipped. Integrated trailer sway control technology provides a stable ride, accommodating heavy weights through careful traction distribution; while the hill descent feature automatically engages the disc brakes to ensure precise responses on inclines (payloads will no longer compromise performance).

Ford believes that power isnâ€™t a luxury. Itâ€™s instead a right - and this is why the new Platinum proves a welcome addition to the Alberta market. To learn more contact us today.

2015 Ford F-150

Ford Scores Major Alberta Sales With Aluminum F-150
Tags:

(Posted on Feb 17, 2018 at 03:05PM by Lee Byard)

It was an expectation of failure - with Fordâ€™s critics shrieking about the dangers of aluminum, decrying the loss of steel. In 2014 the Big Blue Oval transformed its signature F-150 into a leaner, lighter machine. No longer would it be defined by bulky lines and heavy metals. Instead efficiency would shape each mile.

None believed this to be a worthwhile goal. Doom was anticipated.

As Torque News explains, however, success was all that came. With the launch of the 2015 F-150, Ford introduced drivers to aluminum paneling - and they liked it. This light material helped to shed 700 pounds from the ladder-style frame, ensuring a more economical ride (MPG ratios rose to 19 in the city and 26 on the highway). It also optimized the V8, reducing engine strain and allowing the truck to glide to 385 HP.

Is it any wonder, therefore, that the aluminum F-150 has continued to dominate the sales chart? Torque News recently revealed the year-to-year progression for Fordâ€™s beloved truck - and it should silence every critic:

2014 Sales: 480,492
2015 Sales: 515,034
2016 Sales: 574,034
2017 Sales: 591,864

The aluminum F-150 has delivered staggering profits in North America, generating more than 60% of total F-Series sales; and, with the release of the 2018 platform, that success should continue. After all, why would drivers turn away from class-leading trailering (up to 8,000 pounds) and exceptional torque (up to 510 lb.-ft)?

2019 Ford Ranger

Celebrate, Alberta Drivers, As Details Emerge About 2019 Ford Ranger
Tags:

(Posted on Feb 1, 2018 at 01:58AM by Lee Byard)

Winter has come - but the Novlan team is looking past the snow, knowing that spring will bring premium pick-up power. The 2019 Ranger is on its way!

According to The Dayton Daily News, Ford will soon rev up production of its 2019 Ranger - with a spring arrival date planned for next year. This should cause considerable celebration within North America, with drivers no longer having to feel the loss of a half-ton alternative. While the F-Series remains the top-selling vehicle in both Canada and the United States, there is still a viable compact market; and consumers will soon have the best in nimble handling and powerhouse performance.

The Dayton Daily News explains that - when the 2019 Ford Ranger arrives - it will offer a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine (the same one currently housed inside the Mustang). A 10-speed automatic transmission will replace the traditional manual gearbox, ensuring smooth handling; while two-door and four-door options will accommodate all driver needs, branding this both a commercial hauler and a family platform. The potential of a six-foot bed should also impress, promising payload capacities of more than 1,500 pounds.

Are you ready for this compact beast?

2018 Ford F-150

2018 Ford F-150 Generates Massive Alberta Sales
Tags:

(Posted on Jan 30, 2018 at 02:41PM by Lee Byard)

2018 has just begun - but last yearâ€™s sales charts still hang on Fordâ€™s wall, reminding of record-breaking quarters and unprecedented profits. The Big Blue Oval has finally revealed its total tallies for 2017, and theyâ€™ve left the critics stunned.

According to Seeking Alpha, Ford dominated in 2017. In every vertical - crossovers, sedans, and pick-ups - it saw tremendous growth; and its total profits soared to $7.6 billion! No other competitor managed such staggering results, with losses seen across the automotive board (Toyota, General Motors, and Chevrolet had their numbers stumble).

What caused such a strong consumer response? Ford credits its 2018 F-150. This pick-up led the brand to an astonishing 9.3% year-to-year increase - with total sales jumping to 896,746 units. Drivers were drawn to its Ti-VCT V6 engine and new 10-speed automatic transmission, as well as its best-in-class trailering capability (up to 8,000 pounds). This platform thrilled across Canada, delivering Intelligent AWD to every mile.

Itâ€™s no surprise, therefore, that the 2018 F-150 reigned as last yearâ€™s top-selling vehicle - with its success propelling Ford to segment-leading profits. We can only imagine what this platform (along with the upcoming 2019 version) will achieve in the months to come.
