Ford Commercial Vehicle News In Penticton BC
Change isn’t always welcome within the commercial market - which is why Ford is continuing its tradition of potent performance for 2021. Though the new F-150 boasts an available PowerBoost Hybrid engine suite, the Big Blue Oval insists that V8 fans will still achieve the all-terrain strength they’ve come to expect.Offered on the 2021 F-150 is a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8. This engine - which features an aluminum construction, allowing it to improve heat responses and reduce the chance of sudden temperature spikes - is a robust option for BC. It generates up to 400 HP (at 6,000 RPMs) and 410 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,250 RPMs); while a 10-speed automatic transmission bolsters performance through its integrated overdrive functions. An electronic control system assures seamless sequencing, and variable displacement technology promotes superior control over cylinders (delivering a custom power-band).Â
Additionally, Ford has paired the F-150’s V8 engine suite with auto start-stop functionality - allowing it to shut down the block when idling. Through this, improved efficiency is assured: reducing overall fuel usage by an estimated 5%.Â

With the unveiling of the 2021 F-150 Ford promises more than commercial prowess. Instead this platform will deliver all-terrain performance - with its available FX4 Package enabling BC drivers to transition from work to play.At the rear of the new F-150 sits an electronic locking differential - which, when paired with the FX4 Package, assures superior traction by engaging the back axle and increasing friction. Hill Descent Control technology regulates both acceleration patterns and braking responses, ensuring smooth performance on sharp grades; while a Rock Crawl drive-setting further impresses, engaging a 4-Low mode that precisely calibrates transmission ratios. Custom-tuned shock absorbers afford a refined cabin experience; and skid plates defend against debris.
Additionally, the FX4 Package boasts an advanced camera suite - which utilizes high-resolution graphics and split-view functionality to ensure 360-degrees of support. BC drivers can quickly assess the terrain, taking advantage of real-time feeds through strategically-mounted lenses on the grille, rear bumper, and side-view mirrors; and this assures confident off-road travels.

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
