Too often is convenience compromised for performance – with medium-duty trucks engineered solely for payload power and commercial strength. Inefficient designs prove commonplace, causing BC fleet operators to succumb to lost productivity and behind-the-wheel fatigue. The 2021 F-550 XL – available from Skaha Ford – aims to change that with the availability of its Power Equipment Group.This package infuses medium-duty trucks with everyday conveniences to promote uptime while on the job. Opting for the Power Equipment Group to the 2021 F-550 XL adds essentials (such as manual telescoping trailer tow mirrors with heated glass and a heated convex spotter mirror with integrated turn signals) to improve visibility while hauling wide loads. Driving long distances is also more comfortable with upgraded door trim with a soft armrest and grab handle. The illuminated entry provides much-needed brightness when climbing into the truck for early morning calls or late-night emergencies.
The Power Equipment Group bolsters the 2021 F-550 XL with other conveniences, such as power locks, side windows and a one-touch up/down driver window. Remote keyless entry helps crews get a head start on loading up, and there is an advanced security pack to protect the truck and its belongings.
Strengthen your operations by adding a 2021 F-550 to your fleet. To learn more about this commercial vehicle, contact Skaha Ford in BC for a test drive. Be sure to ask us about our medium-duty truck maintenance and repair services, too.
