The struggle proves all too-common - with you stretching across a tailgate, trying desperately to grab that last bit of cargo. The distance is too great, however, and your fingers can’t quite reach. Allow Ford to provide some much-needed relief, with the 2020 F-150 boasting exclusive tailgate technologies to maximize your efficiency.
Anchoring the rear of the new F-150 is the redesigned tailgate. This feature has been tailored for the commercial market, with Ford fusing it with three distinct capabilities:
Â
Power-Locking
Achieve optimal control over a tailgate. To engage the integrated locking feature simply press your key fob (at a distance of approximately one metre). The mechanism will release, allowing you to raise or lower the door as needed.
Remote Release
To further assure ease the new F-150 offers remote release functionality. Press the key fob twice in succession and the tailgate will automatically lower, affording hands-free control when carrying cargo.
Lift Assist
To scale the platform with greater ease take advantage of the assist feature. This step folds directly from the tailgate, allowing operators to easily slide into the rear of the truck (it also helps them manually close the door, serving as a lift bar when not in use).

It’s a series of potential obstacles - with downtown traffic pairing with too tight corners. Trying to manoeuvre a truck through this rush-hour madness is, you think, impossible. Ford disagrees - because the 2020 F-150 has been fitted with side-view technology to assure enhanced visibility and improved navigation. Struggle no more, Kelowna.
Anchoring the new F-150 are advanced side-view mirrors. These skull-capped lenses have been tailored for city hauls, allowing drivers to more efficiently respond to changing conditions. Integrated heating functions maintain visibility, quickly eliminating condensation; while power-adjusting capabilities afford precise alignments. Turn signals are embedded directly into the glass, utilizing LED lighting to alert approaching drivers of a lane shift (thereby greatly reducing the chance of a sudden collision); and auto-dimming technology reduces glare.
Fear the dark no longer in BC. The 2020 F-150 boasts dynamic lighting features - with its side-view mirrors offering available security lamps. These cast wide-angle beams, illuminating the hood, fenders, and surrounding area. Enter and exit the truck with full confidence.
With the release of the new F-150 Ford delivers more than power to Kelowna. Instead this light-duty truck yields multi-functioning side-view mirrors - ensuring that drivers can easily navigate every street. To learn more contact us today.

The view is obscured; the angle is unforgiving; and, no matter how far your crane your neck outside of a window, you still can’t quite see what sits behind your truck. With crossed fingers you press down on a pedal, hoping for the best.Ford believes you need more than hope. Instead you deserve the assurance of a Reverse Sensing System - as provided by the 2020 F-150.
No longer guess trajectories or assume alignments. Let the 2020 F-150Â instead offer security - with its Reverse Sensing System utilizing bumper-mounted sensors to continually assess the terrain. These emit ultrasonic signals that can detect when an obstacle approaches; and, when this occurs, they immediately send an audio warning to the cabin, alerting the driver to the potential concern. They also pair with the real-time LCD streaming feed from the camera to afford a wide-angle perspective and allow operators to correct their movements.
If no actions are taken, however, the Reverse Sensing System will further engage - increasing the speed of the audio alerts as an obstacle nears. This will continue until a path is changed.
The Reversal Sensing System enables operators to more effectively navigate - warning them of impending problems and affording more time to respond. To learn more about this F-150 function contact us today.

It’s a common frustration - with Kelowna drivers struggling to see in the dark, fumbling around work-sites with flashlights wedged between their lips. Every payload becomes a challenge. Allow the 2020 F-150 to provide some much-needed illumination.
To ensure that all nighttime endeavours prove easy Ford has fused the new F-150 with a series of LED options - enabling drivers to more efficiently see. Quad-beams anchor the front of the trunk, providing wide-angle support; while approach lights are integrated directly into the side-view mirrors and help to showcase the hood and fenders. Along the bed are strategically mounted bulbs, which illuminate the tail-gate and bay; and optional bezel-positioned spot-lamps further enhance visibility, casting long arcs across the ground.
These LED lights enable Kelowna operators to effectively navigate work-sites - and, when paired with support features (such as automatic on/off capabilities, which adjust intuitively to changing conditions and allow for seamless control), they promote convenience. Struggle no more in the dark.
Curious about the 2020 F-150 and its lighting options? Contact our team today to request additional information - and don’t hesitate to schedule a test-drive in one of our available Ford trucks.

2020 Ford F-150 Delivers Military-Grade Performance To Kelowna

With the release of the 2020 F-150 Ford is redefining light-duty expectations - connecting Kelowna drivers to the payload power they’ve too long been denied. This is no standard commercial ride. It’s instead a military-grade monster that will effortlessly withstand every haul.To ensure that BC operators achieve maximum value Ford has crafted the 2020 F-150 from a proprietary blend of aluminum-alloy. Unlike traditional steel - which demands heavy panels - this material proves light, with engineers precisely gauging its thickness to assure optimal tension. It’s heat-treated to enhance durability, while its flexible sheets can be moulded as needed to increase overall strength in key bed points. Every line is tailored for the commercial market, with an emphasis on enhancing resilience. The result is a metal that can withstand punishing hauls, producing a payload capacity of 1,483-kg.Â
To further improve the experience Ford’s use of aluminum-alloy has lessened the F-150’s overall weight - shedding an impressive 317.5-kg from the chassis. This affords a more efficient ride, with the engine no longer struggling to accommodate a bulky bed design; and it allows the truck to earn a Combined economy ratio of up to 9.8 L/100km (with fewer drops of fuel needed to sustain the power-band).
Aluminum proves the perfect option for the light-duty market. To learn more about this material and its effect on the 2020 F-150 contact us today.

Tight turns no longer prove the enemy - with Kelowna operators now able to smoothly adapt to every sudden shift (no matter how heavy their trailers). The 2020 F-150 brings Curve Control technology to the commercial market, ensuring precise performance with each payload.Tame every turn with this exclusive Ford system. Used in tandem with the F-150’s AdvanceTrac suite - which promotes superior torque distribution - Curve Control utilizes body-mounted sensors to assess roll rates, acceleration patterns, and the steering wheel angle. These metrics are all calculated up to 100 times per second and, should a sudden issue be detected, a series of actions will take place.
Â
One: Gentle brake pressure is applied to each wheel.
Two: Speed is automatically lowered.
Three: Torque ratios are decreased.Â
