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

Three: Torque ratios are decreased.Â
Through these careful changes Curve Control affords instant stability - allowing the 2020 F-150 to effectively master turns. The truck’s acceleration patterns are adjusted to complement the steering angle, and this assures optimal traction.
No corner will prove too sharp to handle in BC. Instead the new F-150 will keep drivers (and their payloads) secure. To learn more about this safety feature contact us today - and don’t hesitate to request a demonstration with our team!

Dominate the backroads in the 2020 F-150 - taking advantage of its available 3.0L diesel engine. This block has been forged for every terrain and any payload, delivering class-leading strength to the BC market.Beneath the hood of the new F-150 growls a 3.0L V6. This block - which is crafted from compacted graphite iron - promises potent power, generating up to 250 HP (at 5,000 RPMs) and 440 lb.-ft of torque (at 3,500 RPMs). Roller finger followers promote smooth valve responses, reducing overall friction; while turbocharged technology bolsters every rev. Further enhancing performance is the inclusion of a 10-speed automatic transmission and its custom drive-settings (including Tow/Haul, which instantly adjusts gear ratios to assure precise traction outputs).
The value of this diesel block extends beyond strength, however. Instead Ford promises efficiency - with the 2020 F-150 earning 11.1 L/100km in the city and 8.3 L/100km on the highway. This ensures class-leading economy, sparing Kelowna drivers frequent station visits while towing up to 5,216-kg.
The new F-150 brings dynamic performance to BC. To learn more about this Ford platform - including additional specs and financing information - contact us today.

It’s a series of attention lapses - with your thoughts consumed by stereo dials and smartphone notifications. One momentary distraction blurs into the next, and you don’t watch the road. You focus instead on your devices.This, Ford knows, can lead to potential collisions - which is why it’s paired the 2020 F-150 with MyKey technology.Â
The new F-150 delivers more than V8 strength to Kelowna. Instead this platform boasts the available MyKey console - enabling operators to more efficiently focus on payloads. Create a series of digital administrative keys: each that can be customized to restrict specific vehicle functions.Â
Â
Speed Limits
The MyKey system can be configured to control acceleration patterns, delivering pre-set limitations (between 105 kph to 129 kph) and audio warnings (which immediately chime if the driver tries to exceed the restrictions). This reduces the chance of a collision by eliminating reckless speeds.
Audio Controls
Utilize the MyKey function to lessen overall stereo volume, dropping decibel levels by up to 45%. This helps to minimize distractions while driving, allowing operators to focus on their surroundings instead of the base-line.
Smartphone Intervention
Take advantage of the MyKey’s Do Not Disturb feature - which automatically directs calls to voice-mail and places text messages on hold. This keeps drivers from constantly engaging with their phones, encouraging their hands to instead remain on the wheel.Â
