The new year has begun - and Ford is greeting it with sophisticated styling. The 2020 F-150 XLT no longer proves a mere pick-up powerhouse (though its 3.3L Ti-VCT V6 engine will impress, generating up to 290 HP and 265 lb.-ft of torque). It’s also a runway-ready option for Alberta’s trendiest off-roaders, now boasting an exclusive Special Edition Package.
Ford has paired its popular F-150 XLT with the ultimate design package. The Special Edition suite redefines the exterior, delivering a bold new look for 2020. Running boards follow the muscular curve of the body (251-inches in length, 86-inches in width, and 79-inches in height); while 20-inch Dark Tarnish wheels offer a sleek effect. The LED headlamps are housed in black-painted recesses, and custom stripe decals spread across the hood. The grille is body-colored and available in 14 shades, including Blue Jeans, Iconic Silver, and Lead Foot Gray; while a contrasting mesh insert adds texture. Exclusive Blue Oval badging anchors the tailgate, and a single-tip exhaust completes the look.
The Special Edition Package transforms the new F-150 XLT into an undeniable presence on the backroads - branding it ideal for adventurers wanting more than mere performance.

The numbers seem too good to be true - with a spec sheet promising 650 HP and 610 lb.-ft of torque. You frown, unwilling to believe such a claim. There is no truck that can yield such massive performance… is there?
There is.
As Trucks.com explains, Ford recently unveiled its 2018 F-150 Nitemare (an F-Series variant created in partnership with ROUSH Racing). This pick-up - which should make a full North American launch later this year - ensures exceptional capability, boasting both a 5.0L V8 engine and a Phase One supercharger. FOX shocks bolster the chassis, delivering coilover adaptability; while a custom exhaust system maintains optimal intake performance. All-season BFGoodrich KM3 tires further impress, with their wide interlocks allowing the platform to roll easily over even the toughest terrains.
These components promise class-leading power - with performance metrics soaring beyond 600. Drivers will find themselves flying down every mile; and a 0 to 60 run of approximately four seconds is expected.
This F-150 is - despite its name - no nightmare. It’s instead a dream come true.

The half-ton market will soon change - with Ford partnering with aftermarket titan, ROUSH, for a new F-150. Prepare, North America, for the arrival of the 2018 SC!
According to Kelley Blue Book, the SC is a monstrous platform - with a 5.0L V8 growling beneath its hood. Ably assisted by a ROUSH supercharger, this engine yields an impressive 650 HP and 610 lb.-ft of torque: dwarfing its predecessor's metrics by nearly 10%. A FOX Racing suspension anchors the chassis, promising coil-spring capability with every turn of the track; and a dual-tip exhaust system ensures optimal intake levels. Fender flares deflect debris, looming over the revised grille; and 20-inch all-season wheels rip through dust and snow alike.
The KBB team reports that this F-150 variant also features a two-inch body lift - affording a muscular stance of 80-inches in height and 86.3-inches in width. This ensures effortless all-terrain handling, with the undercarriage better protected from brambles, brush, and more. Mickey Thompson Baja tires and shock guards further impress on the backroads.

The miles are dark; the moon is gone; and you squint at the road, trying to decipher straightaways from tight turns. This is no easy journey you’re undertaking, and the lack of light has left you overwhelmed.
Ford suggests seeking LED aid.
According to Hot Cars, the 2018 F-150 proves perfect for evening adventures - delivering a full suite of LED lights to North America. Each bulb is strategically mounted to enhance visibility, with lamps positioned:
Front: Along the fascia discover LEDs embedded in the dual power mirrors. These will serve as puddle lamps, both expediting nighttime processes (locate the box-steps, Easy Fuel capless filter, and other exterior features with ease) and delivering safety (should a driver need to step outside of the F-150, these options will alert passing cars to its presence on the side of the road). Daytime running lights also increase visibility in low-level environments and lessen the chance of a collision.
Rear: LED lights frame both the tailgate handle (to ensure drivers can easily locate it) and the cargo bed (with bulbs dotting the long line of the frame and showcasing the four tie-down hooks). A center-mounted stop-lamp further promotes maximum visibility and casts a wide-beam angle. This provides convenient illumination while working at night.
The 2018 F-150 allows drivers to dominate the dark - providing LED protection with every mile. To learn more about these lighting systems contact our team today!
Necessity proves the driving force of every decision - with you seeking a pick-up that delivers both crucial power and much-needed economy. Each thought is tailored to what you must have, rather than what you wish for.

In the battle of half-ton horsepower there can be only one champion. Automotive brands meet in a whirl of chrome and smoke, trying to eke out the slightest percentage of supremacy; and trucks wage war on the track, delivering pedal-to-the-metal performance.
They all should’ve stayed home.
As the NY Daily News explains, only one pick-up proves a true powerhouse - and that’s the 2018 F-150. This Ford monster effortlessly dominates the competition, with its standard 3.3L V6 yielding 290 HP and 265 lb.-ft of torque. A robust six-speed automatic transmission provides custom drive-modes (Normal, Tow/Haul, and Sport) to optimize the performance-band on every terrain; while twin independent cam timing technology optimizes both air intake and fuel distribution, opening and closing valves as needed to maintain ideal engine responses.
Through this, the 2018 F-150 delivers a staggering 13,200 pounds of conventional trailering and a payload capacity of 3,720 pounds. No other competitor comes close:
2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1550
Towing: 12,500 pounds.
Payloads: 2,250 pounds.
2018 GMC Sierra 1500
Towing: 12,500 pounds.
Payloads: 2,250 pounds.
The F-150 reigns as the definitive pick-up champion - and we expect this to continue for many years to come. To learn more about this truck’s performance capabilities contact us today!
It’s a battle for the ages. The 2018 F-150 and the 2018 RAM 1500 meet on an open field - each revving in anticipation, exhaust spilling into the air. They’re ready to secure the pick-up crown; and they’ll battle each other for sales domination. Their grilles glint in the sun and then… they’re off!
We already know what the outcome will be.
As Kelley Blue Book explains, the 2018 F-150 is the ultimate pick-up. Despite a valiant effort from Dodge, Ford’s top-selling platform proved unstoppable in a head-to-head competition - delivering enhanced performance with every rev. Its 2.7L turbocharged V6 yielded 325 HP (at 5,000 RPM) and 400 lb.-ft of torque (at 2,750 RPM). A 10-speed automatic transmission smoothly adjusted to both changing terrains and class-leading payloads, accommodating up to 13,200 pounds of conventional trailering; and its massive frame (243.7-inches long, 79.9-inches wide, and 75.6-inches high) promised durable responses on even the roughest roads, blending high-strength steel panels with aluminum-alloy accents.
The 2018 RAM 1500 never stood a chance. When compared to the F-150 by the KBB team, it fell short of every mark:
