Conquer every commercial demand with help from the 2021 F-150. To ensure that drivers can achieve class-leading performance - with up to 12,700 pounds of conventional towing power available, as well as a payload capacity of 3,250 pounds - Ford has paired this pick-up with 10-speed functionality. Discover seamless capability in BC.Anchoring every rev of the new F-150 is a 10-speed automatic transmission. This system - which serves as a complement to each of the available F-Series engine suites, including the new 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid and its accompanying 33-kW electric motor - promotes improved performance. A wider gear spacing allows for fluid low to high transitions; while three overdrive functions pair with drag-reduction actions to bolster sequencing. This promises enhanced acceleration, enabling the truck to achieve a seamless 0 to 60 blast of approximately five seconds.
With the inclusion of a 10-speed automatic transmission Ford is redefining the commercial market - letting BC drivers optimize their cargo capabilities. This system enhances torque and decreases drag: affording a smooth V8 experience.Â

2021 Ford F-150 Primed For Toughest BC Canada Demands

The hybrid market is no longer defined solely by efficiency. Instead Ford is injecting military-grade performance into every payload - with its 2021 F-150 dominating the highways and backroads alike. This pick-up has been pitted against a myriad of environments, with each kilometre proving worse than the last; and from that extensive testing comes a ride like no other.To ensure the new F-150 Hybrid can adapt to BC’s ever-changing climate (and always fickle terrains), Ford has fused it with military-grade aluminum-alloy. This heat-treated material has been carefully hardened, with its thickness levels customized at strategic points to promote improved durability; while a fully-boxed steel frame sits beneath, utilizing enlarged cross-members to assure precise rigidity.Â
This promotes a more durable ride - which Ford then tested with a series of environmental challenges. Across a 402,000-km journey, it twisted the suspension system seven different ways (to simulate off-road travel); thermally shocked the engine to reproduce plummeting temperatures; bounced the tires across high gravel hills; and more. The result was a pick-up that could adapt to every challenge.Â

A new era of light-duty trailering has begun - with Ford unveiling its 2021 F-150 to the commercial market. Now anchored by an exclusive PowerBoost hybrid engine suite (the first of its kind for the F-Series), this platform will redefine BC payloads.Beneath the hood of the new F-150 roars a 3.5L PowerBoost V6. This block - which is crafted from aluminum to assure improved heat conduction - promises exceptional strength, generating up to 430 HP (at 6,000 RPMs) and 570 lb.-ft of torque (at 3,000 RPMs). Roller finger followers enhance valve performance, while an electronic 10-speed transmission affords precise gear transitions.
The true value of this suite, however, is its full-hybrid design - which fuses the V6 with a complementary 35-kilowatt electric motor and a 1.5-KwH battery. These utilize regenerative braking functionality to convert otherwise wasted energy into power, funnelling it directly into the block to lessen resource consumption. Improved economy is assured and, despite its rugged frame (which can accommodate 12,700 pounds of trailering), the 2021 F-150 promises a drive-range of 1,110-kms per full tank.Â
Prepare for a new kind of commercial experience. To learn more about the F-150 PowerBoost (including specs and financing options) contact our team today.

Soon the weather outside will prove frightful - but the 2020 F-150 will be ready for any seasonal onslaught. Take advantage of precise handling in Kamloops, courtesy of Ford’s available Snow/Wet setting. Tailor every performance metric for the winter. Offered on the new F-150 is an exclusive Snow/Wet function. This setting - which serves as a complement to Normal, Tow/Haul, Sport, and Eco - promises superior traction on sleet-slick roads. Engage the system by accessing the Drive Mode Menu in the instrument cluster, toggling through until the corresponding icon is visible.

The F-150’s engine output will increase, affording improved traction ratios; while overall speeds will decrease, with the truck emphasizing stability instead of acceleration. Through this the Snow/Wet setting can enhance performance, generating enough friction to compensate for slick terrains (this assures precise tire grippage and reduces the chance of a sudden skids).

Appearances may prove deceiving - as fans of the 2020 Transit can attest. Despite this Ford van’s super-sized roofline (with the Long-El trim delivering 2,780-mm of total height), it still boasts a downtown design, with its chassis tailored for tight Kamloops turns.

The side-view mirrors can be folded inward when parking in narrow spaces, dropping the total platform width from 2,474-mm to 2,113.3-mm; and the 712-mm curb extension allows drivers to roll over speed-bumps and pot-holes with confidence.

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.
