Ford Commercial Vehicle News In Penticton BC
Redefine the commercial experience with help from the 2020 F-350 XL. Though this base trim thrills with its cargo accessories - such as a partionable box and integrated tie-downs - Kamloops operators may still need more to accommodate their payloads; and this is why Ford delivers a series of available upgrades, allowing for custom capability.Extended-length chrome running boards are now offered on the XL, with their six-inch designs affording a more stable stance for riders. Clearance lights can be added to the roof, delivering LED support; while a tailgate step is also available, pairing with a sturdy assist handle to help drivers access the bay. A BoxLink management system further enhances performance, fusing each payload with four interfacing plates and lockable cleats (both of which can be used to stow cargo).
Kamloops drivers may find the XL’s available telescoping trailer mirror to be the most essential upgrade, however. This feature affords wide-angle perspectives in the rear, with its power lenses boasting integrated heating functions to assure optimal visibility (even in the worst BC weather). This bolsters every haul.

Somewhere - in this maze of concrete and lampposts, in the blinding glare of chrome and aluminum - is your F-350. You know you parked it here hours ago; and yet, as you wander aimlessly down the aisles, you can’t help but wonder if you'll ever see it again.Ford suggests activating the Vehicle Locator function on your phone.
As part of the available FordPass Connect suite, the Vehicle Locator system enables F-350 drivers to effortlessly find their rides - utilizing GPS capabilities to monitor positioning. This is achieved by tracking the truck’s unique 4G hot-spot signal, which can be traced through the SYNC 3 infotainment console; and, with the press of a button, all systems will align through a user’s smartphone, delivering real-time information relays.
To further assure convenience this system is compatible with both Apple and Android devices - allowing users to stream information from any smartphone. Simply enable the Location Services function found in the Settings tab and achieve instinct connectivity.Â
 No longer struggle to find your F-350. Instead take advantage of FordPass capabilities. To learn more about this system - or to schedule a test-drive in one of our available Super Duty models - contact our team today.

2020 Ford F-350 Brings Pre-Collision Support To Okanagan

Safety is a priority. It’s not, however, always a guarantee - with highway traffic and passing pedestrians refusing to conform to the rules of the road. Trying to adapt to ever-changing conditions can prove challenging for Okanagan drivers.The 2020 F-350 can help.
Bolstered by available Pre-Collision Support, the new F-350 Super Duty proves ready for even the toughest environments. Front-mounted sensors continually scan the road, assessing all conditions (including traffic speed and vehicle trajectories). When they detect a sudden change - such as an abrupt stop or an approaching pedestrian - they will send dual alerts: one to the driver via the central console and another to the braking system as a preemptive warning.
The driver will be told through audio and visual cues to reduce speed. Should he fail to do so in a proper amount of time, however, the ABS system will engage - automatically slowing the F-350 and avoiding a sudden collision. Through this safety is assured, with Pre-Collision Support helping to maintain appropriate distance between obstacles.
Want to learn more about this F-350 safety feature? Contact our team today for additional information - and don’t hesitate to schedule a test-drive in one of our available models.

It’s an all too familiar frustration - with your phone losing power steadily throughout the day, leaving you with a low battery and a high volume of calls still to make. You struggle with auxiliary cords, fumbling with the plug-in port; but this doesn’t deliver the speed you need.The 2020 F-350 can provide a more efficient solution.
Inside the new Super Duty is an optional wireless charging pad. This system - which is mounted in the centre console - allows Okanagan drivers to seamlessly power their devices while on-the-go. Simply place your smartphone (including Apple and Android products) onto the hub and it will immediately activate, providing a quick surge. This will be maintained as long as the connection is made, eliminating the need for cumbersome cords or claiming an entire plug-in space.
To further improve the charging experience, this pad can operate even when the F-350 has entered accessory mode (which is when the engine has been deactivated but supplemental energy is still being used for telematics and similar equipment). Power your devices at all times.
The wireless charging pad is available on select F-350 models. To learn more about this function contact our team today.

Backing up too often results in breaking down - with your patience frayed with every misalignment. You can’t see past the tall stacks of cargo, and your commercial truck proves too unwieldy to control.

Slide behind the wheel of the new F-350 and discover convenience. The available Trailer Tow System promises effortless reversals, hitch connections, and more - all with the press of a button. Activate the system and the rearview console will engage. Strategically-placed lenses will stream real-time assessments from the side, while a centre-mounted stop-lamp camera offers a bird's-eye perspective. This 360-degree coverage is supported by colour-coded gridlines, which automatically identify the most efficient route for backing up.
Drivers can then activate the Pro Trailer function, which serves as a perfect complement to this camera console - using the data fed into the display to map out a seamless steerage experience. Slide easily onto a hitch, with these systems working in tandem to reduce the chance of sudden collisions or misalignments.
With the introduction of the Trailer Tow System Ford is redefining the commercial market. To learn more contact our team today.

Upgrade your audio experience with help from the 2020 F-350 Lariat. This Ford pick-up delivers crisp chords to Vernon - boasting an available Bang&Olufsen sound system that will transform long hauls into symphonies. Slip into the new Lariat to optimize your music. The optional Bang&Olufsen system has been precisely crafted to enhance every note - no matter how loud the highway. Ten speakers are strategically mounted throughout the cabin, ensuring that each passenger achieves maximum resonance; while a 1,000-watt amplifier produces concert-quality vibrations. Acoustic lens technology provides precise bass-line control, helping to create a more dynamic echo; and custom sound-tuning bolsters both volume and chord distribution (intuitively detecting when the audio should be dropped or raised).
Further improving each song is the inclusion of a built-in microphone - which assesses ambient noises and automatically detects when the playback is being compromised. Through this, the Lariat can counter exterior sounds (such as passing traffic or construction) and maintain a seamless stereo experience.
The 2020 F-350 Lariat allows Vernon drivers to indulge in their favourite content. To learn more about the available Bang&Olufsen system (or to schedule a test-drive in one of our Super Duty models) contact us today.
