It’s a familiar phrase - Built Ford Tough. When uttered it promises rugged performance, with vehicles tailored for the toughest terrains and most demanding payloads.It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Ford has fused its 2020 F-350 with this seal of brand approval.
The new F-350 Super Duty can accommodate every demand - with its high-strength aluminum frame pitted against a series of all-terrain tests that would leave most trucks undone. For over 30,000,000-km this platform traveled, with Ford engineers seeking to push the boundaries of performance before releasing it to the BC market.
Â
Climate Changes - the F-350 faced temperatures of -28-degrees Celsius to 48-degrees Celsius, with the impact of both winter sleet and summer sun studied. This showcased the likelihood of rust or corrosion, and it offered designers greater insights into component structures.
Steep Inclines - Ford forced this pick-up to endure grueling six-degree grades for over 800-km, ensuring that the braking system and terrain control technologies could perform at peak levels for extended periods.
Unique Environments - the F-350’s suspension was punished with different terrains (including high-water wading, mud baths, and gravel pits). All responses were assessed to ensure optimal four-post responses.Â

The value of the 2020 F-350 extends far beyond its super-sized proportions (though none can deny its generous bed, which delivers up to 2,066-mm of total payload storage and utilizes integrated tie-downs, tow-hooks, and side-bins to assure optimal organization).

The commercial market doesn’t conform to a 9 to 5 schedule. Instead Okanagan operators will find themselves delivering payloads at the most unforgiving hours, battling dark highways and poorly lit work-sites. Unloading - and even seeing - cargo becomes a challenge.The 2020 F-350 offers a brighter alternative.Â
Ford has paired this Super Duty platform with advanced support, enabling Okanagan drivers to efficiently stack, stow, and organize their cargo. High-illumination LEDs flank the box, drawing attention to the integrated hooks and tie-downs; while side-mirror spotlights allow for easier entries (no longer fumble to find the door handle or key insert). A centre-mounted lamp anchors the top of the truck, casting wide beams while traveling; and, to further improve the payload process, a trailer bulb is also available. This sits beneath the tailgate and showcases the location of the hitch, providing operators with a clearer reversal path.Â
The 2020 F-350 proves ready to impress on dark nights. Take advantage of this truck’s ample lighting features - including standard dual-beam halogen headlamps and available roof clearance bulbs - to enhance every payload.

2020 Ford F-350 Brings ‘Tough Bed’ Tech To Okanagan

The commercial market proves punishing - with Okanagan drivers forced to battle payload scrapes, scratches, and skids. Cargo (no matter how carefully stacked) leaves marks on every truck, compromising bed integrities and undermining strength; and maintaining a professional appearance seems impossible. Allow the 2020 F-350 Super Duty to change that.
Ford is pairing this pick-up with the durability drivers deserve - utilizing its exclusive Tough Bed technology to defend against cargo scratches. This is a factory-installed substance that coats the entire rear bay (from the tailgate guard to the attachment bolts); and it assures superior defence. An even layer is applied by a pressure sprayer, affording comprehensive support; while the non-slip texture helps to hold items in place and reduce skidding. The thickness of the material proves rugged, and the promise of UV protection further impresses: greatly reducing heat damage and paint corrosion.
To further improve the F-350’s appearance, the Tough Bed liner delivers a water-tight seal - keeping rain, snow, and other elements from collecting on the metal frame. This helps to eliminate rust and maintain precise textures.
No longer fear cargo scratches. Instead allow the 2020 F-350’s available Tough Bed tech to enhance your experience.
