The safety of your BC commercial fleet is essential. However, it’s not a given. Heavy traffic, distracted drivers and pedestrians are a frequent concern – not to mention busy construction sites with workers and equipment milling about. The Blue Oval understands the trials that commercial operators face, which is why they have equipped the 2021 F-250 – available from Skaha Ford – with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking.
Standard on XLT and higher trims and optional on the base F-250 XL, the Super Duty’s Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking gives drivers extra confidence on busy roadways and job sites. This system features front-mounted sensors that continually scan the road. When an obstacle, such as another vehicle or pedestrian, is detected, Pre-Collision Assist emits two alerts: one to the driver using the centre console and the second to the Automatic Emergency Braking system. If the truck operator fails to reduce speed, the 2021 F-250 will automatically slow down to avoid a collision.Â

Long hours behind the wheel is a recipe for aches and pains – something BC commercial fleet operators know all too well. However, the Blue Oval aims to change that with the release of the 2021 F-250. This Super Duty – available at Skaha Ford – features multi-contour front bucket seats with Active Motion for your comfort on lengthy drives.With Active Motion, fatigue is a thing of the past. This system helps reduce muscle exhaustion in the legs and lower back by using a subtle rolling-pattern massage. Air cushions inside the seat inflate and deflate as needed to fit the body's contours. This gentle motion enhances blood flow to fight soreness from sitting for long periods.
The Active Motion multi-contour front bucket seats are easily controlled using two switches located on the side of the chair. Rollers work in designated areas for up to 20 minutes to increase circulation and reduce muscle stiffness. An added benefit is improved driver awareness by stimulating the brain through increased blood flow and elevated oxygen levels.
Multi-contour front bucket seats with Active Motion are standard on the 2021 F-250 Platinum and Limited and available on the King Ranch trim.Â

2021 Ford F-250 Ensures Exhaust Filter Regeneration in Okanagan

Don’t make your BC crew suffer through billows of smoke. Instead, equip your commercial fleet with a 2021 F-250 from Skaha Ford in BC. Diesel models of this pickup offer an available operator-commanded exhaust filter regeneration system on XL and XLT trims to burn away soot and ensure smooth filter performance.Specific operating conditions, such as long idling, don’t generate enough engine heat for the diesel to automatically burn off soot collecting in the diesel particulate filter. However, the F-250’s operator-commanded exhaust filter regeneration aims to change that. This system features a warning light that illuminates, notifying the driver to press the activation button to raise the exhaust temperature to burn off the soot.
The system also features an active inhibit feature, which delays regeneration when the Super Duty is parked near combustible materials, such as grass or dry leaves. Once situated in a safe location, the truck operator can manually start the regeneration process and eliminate the accumulated soot from the diesel particulate filter.
Experience continuous temperature control and reliable diesel performance at the job site. To learn more about the 2021 F-250 or our medium-duty truck services, contact Skaha Ford in BC to speak with a member of our team.
