You'll immediately notice how supportive the Deep Cypress-coloured ActiveX Seating Material with Heathered Cloth Inserts and Deep Tangerine Stitching feels as it helps prevent you from slipping and sliding while handling rough terrain—and looks, thanks to the Timberline logos. Plus, the leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel ensures hands stay toasty during cold-weather drives.
Even your feet get the star treatment with rubber front and rear floor liners that are also easy to keep clean. So, all that's left to do is settle into the heated front seats and head off on the next adventure around BC.

Ever since the auto industry introduced power steering, drivers in BC have been taking advantage of it. However, if you've ever craved the raw feel of the road without anything getting in the way of the experience, then the 2021 Ford Mustang is the car that can do it.
This muscle car boasts standard Selectable Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS), which lets you choose how the wheel behaves during every drive. In Comfort mode, the system works with the least effort required—ideal for daily trips.
But if you want the raw feel of the road, select Sport mode. By doing so, the Mustang puts you in command with more steering effort required that ensures every nuance of the pavement comes through. And at the Normal setting, EPAS gives BC drivers a balance between the two extremes.
Heading off-road in BC demands your vehicle has excellent handling, and the 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline is capable of that. It comes with many features designed to assist while tackling trails.
First, the power steering system has been tweaked for a better feel both on and off the road—while the standard 300 HP engine is busy churning out up to 310 lb-ft of torque through the 10-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is included, too, so you'll get maximum grip during every trip.
Next, to help you negotiate every type of surface, there's the Terrain Management System, which includes seven drive modes that'll modify the operation of the transmission, throttle, AWD, and other components to suit snow, sand, and more. So, all you've got left to do is sit behind the wheel and start exploring BC.
After attending Skaha Ford’s Track Day event, you may want to experience the thrills once again. Fortunately, Memberships at Area 27 are easily available, and they will let you have the same exciting on-track adventures whenever it's desired in BC.
As a Member, you can take advantage of personalized coaching with some of Canada's best race car drivers and enrol in masterclass opportunities to further refine your skills. Beyond the serious side, trips to Okanagan’s wine country and other fun events are also on offer.
You will also have a minimum of 15 days per month to enjoy the track for racing, plus daily access to the Kartplex. There are even lifetime family-style memberships available if desired, plus plenty of new friends to meet and drive alongside in BC.

Speed-demons in BC know that safety always comes first, which is why the 2021 Ford Mustang has many available driver assistance and protection technologies from which to choose. They'll help ensure this muscle car stays secure while you experience top thrills.
The available Safe and Smart package includes a Voice-Activated SYNC 3 Touchscreen Navigation System and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The latter system makes it simple to select a set speed and distance from other vehicles; then, it automatically slows down and speeds up using radar and cameras to ensure both your velocity and separation remain reliable.
Similarly, the SYNC 3 touchscreen provides directions without glancing away from the road—courtesy of voice commands—while it also includes SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link. This feature offers constant updates on delays, weather, alternate routes, and more during your drives in BC.
Take your off-road adventures to the next level with the 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline. This SUV boasts many enhancements that are specifically designed to stand up to rough trails anywhere in BC.
First, it gets a Torsen limited-slip differential, so you'll have a more sure-footed and stable ride while tackling uneven trails because each wheel can gain better purchase when needed. To complement that upgrade, the ground clearance height has been increased by 19 mm as well, along with redesigned front and rear bumpers to create larger approach and departure angles.
Next, there are steel skid plates installed underneath to protect sensitive components, while the upgraded, heavy-duty shocks actually come from the extra-tough Explorer Police Interceptor to boot. Finally, the whole package rolls on Bridgestone Dueler all-terrain tires during your outdoor trips around BC.
Conquer BC's streets with the 2021 Ford Mustang and its available Mach 1 Handling Package. It lets you take on every drive easily, thanks to features like the 19" × 10.5" front and 19 × 11" rear Dark Tarnish Painted Aluminum Wheels equipped with 305/30R19 and 315/30R19 Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 tires (respectively), which will stay sure-footed.
Continuing these handling features, the Adjustable Strut Top Mounts not only help keep vibration at bay but also ensure the undercarriage stays tied together securely. Meanwhile, Revised Chassis Tuning makes drives stable and seamless.
You also get a Performance Rear Spoiler with Gurney Flap and a Front Aero Splitter to enhance this muscle car's streamlining. And finally, though they may be small, the black Rear Wheel Lip Mouldings help keep dirt and debris away during drives in BC.

Are you dreaming of conquering courses in BC? Then the 2021 Ford Mustang's available Launch Control and Electronic Line-Lock features are ideal for you—especially when paired to the optional active valve performance exhaust, which lets you choose how loud the EcoBoost engine choices will purr before every drive.
Next, the launch control system provides integrated braking, traction- and powertrain governor systems to make every startup smooth and consistent in all sorts of conditions. Plus, to help you see real-time performance aspects, glance at the Track Apps shown on the dash-mounted LCD screen.
At the same time, Electronic Line-Lock makes track driving easier because it ties together the front brakes while releasing them at the rear—no manual inputs required. That way, your back tires will be smoking and ready to roll in a flash at courses around BC.
It's no secret the 2021 Ford Mustang can crank out stellar performance, but all that power is easy to handle, too, courtesy of the available 10-Speed Automatic Transmission with SelectShift. It helps make every drive smooth and confident in BC.
This transmission boasts Ford-patented technology that has an optimized ratio progression to deliver seamless performance. Likewise, both up- and downshifts will be smoother and more accurate every time.
Meanwhile, the SelectShift feature allows you to customize every aspect in Sport mode. It includes two settings—a modified Automatic that anticipates the hand-operated changes you might make and optimizes the Mustang's performance in response, and Manual, which functions like its namesake, but without a clutch. Plus, to help ensure the experience is even easier during drives around BC, paddles are mounted conveniently on the steering wheel.
