Have a car, coupe, or crossover but always envisioned yourself in a truck? Now may be the time to make the switch, Vernon residents, and we have a fantastic option in mind for you: the 2019 F-150 XLT. It’s powerful and purposeful in its movement while also supplying driver and passenger alike with comfort and safety.
As you settle into the 2019 F-150 XLT after activating its keyless entry (be sure to stop to admire those shining 17†silver aluminum wheel rims!), it won’t take you long to appreciate the standard front fog lights if you’re dealing with inclement weather conditions. As you zip down the roads of Vernon and Penticton and beyond on your lengthier trips, you and your front passenger will benefit from the lumbar support, too.

Of course, as you may have anticipated, the standout appeal of this machine is its power and performance. As you press down the gas pedal, the truck is wonderfully responsive thanks to its 3.3L six-cylinder engine that creates a healthy 290 HP at 6,500 RPM and 265-lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 RPM.
Ford makes a full range of utterly fantastic, highly capable trucks. However, there’s no denying that in a full lineup of standouts, the 2019 F-150 King Ranch somehow manages to grab a ton of the spotlight. When you consider its powertrain and various amenities, however, this fact becomes far less surprising—it’s simply a heck of a vehicle.
The 2019 F-150 King Ranch wields sensational power as it marches down the roads of Penticton, Kelowna, and Vernon. The pickup has a beastly 5.0L V8 engine that creates 395 horses at 5,750 RPM and 400-lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 RPM. There’s power to spare here!

This truck is also the beneficiary of luxury appointments. Sure, there are heated seats and mirrors, but there’s so much more. The windshield wipers are rain-sensing, meaning they’ll automatically respond to the amount of falling precipitation to keep you safe. A navigation system is included, helping to always keep you on the fastest route. Also, park assist comes in handy as your journey ends.
Ford is a master when it comes to putting together an amazing truck. Indeed, the F-150 lineup has been exceptional for years and a true favorite of North American consumers, and the 2019 Lariat continues that grand tradition with power and aplomb to spare.
The Lariat comes with a souped-up engine compared to its XLT and XL brethren. Its 2.7L engine  produces a stunning 325 horses at 5,000 RPM and 400 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,750 RPM. This surprising production is a result of its twin intercooled turbochargers and Ford’s port-fuel and direct-injection (PFDI) system, complete with two injectors per cylinder. It’s seriously impressive!

The 2019 F-150 Lariat is well-outfitted. It comes with heated side mirrors that serve to eliminate icy buildup in wintry conditions, keeping visibility high. There are also heated front seats for your comfort and SiriusXM radio for your entertainment. Plus, the 10-speed automatic transmission makes for a fantastically smooth ride.
