With its roomy and high-class interior, quiet cabin area, and impressive storage space, this Ford is the perfect ride for you and your family. Let's take a look at some of the features you'll love about this SUV today. 1. Fuel-Saving Design Thanks to the Standard Auto Start-Stop Technology, you can save on gas by simply coming to a full stop. It works by deactivating the engine when you come to a stop at intersections, in traffic, or any other time your foot is on the brake pedal completely. Then, once you take your foot off the gas pedal, the engine comes back to life and you're back to normal again. It's incredibly simple and easy to use, and you'll barely even notice it at all. 2. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive to Handle Any Driving Conditions You can enjoy a safer and easier drive with the available Intelligent AWD. By using sensors to monitor traction, you can operate in various weather conditions and even when roads are slippery as well. It's designed to help you maximize control with torque that it distributes appropriately between the front and rear wheels. This leads to better handling, more traction, and safer driving, which is all you could ask for when it comes to driving in bad weather and road conditions. 3. Available No-Touch Liftgate Ever struggle to open your trunk with arms full of groceries or cargo? Anyone who has can appreciate the convenience of having a trunk that opens itself. Thanks to the available Hands-Free Liftgate, you can get the trunk to open automatically with just a kick underneath the rear bumper. This will make it swing wide open without your hands at all, and then you can easily load or unload your cargo from there. As long as you have your Intelligent Access key fob on hand, you can open your trunk like this without ever having to put down heavy items again. 4. Stylish Rotary Shift Dial The rotary style of the gear shift adds to the overall modern and sophisticated look of the inside of this vehicle. Plus, when paired with its low-space design, you get more space for storage, cup holders, USB ports, and more, which is highly convenient and practical for any driver out there. 5. Seamless Smartphone Connectivity You can easily connect your smartphone to this SUV using the SYNC 4A feature. It's a convenient program on the available 12.1-Inch touchscreen that makes it easy to listen to music, navigate your vehicle, make or receive calls, and more, without ever touching your phone while driving. Plus, it has voice recognition technology, so you can do all of these things without ever raising a single finger.

The 2021 Ford F-150 is the latest addition to a long line of top-selling trucks. Ford states that this iteration is better than ever, and the best features of the truck confirm this claim. It's a tough truck that's wonderfully capable, but it also appeals to drivers who value comfort as well as power. 1. Top-Notch Towing Abilities With the right trim and setup, the Ford F-150 can tow 14,000 pounds. This is a huge towing capacity, and you can haul almost anything with it. It's easy to transport boats, campers, animals, and work gear with this truck. That 14,000-pound capacity is higher than what many competitor trucks are capable of. In some cases, it's 1,000 pounds more than what competitors can haul. It gets even more impressive if you pair it with the truck's fantastic payload. You can carry 3,325 in the truck bed while towing the 14,000 pounds in the trailer. That gives the truck the ability to transport a total of 17,325 pounds at once. 2. Off-Roading Power The Ford F-150 is rugged. It has a solid suspension system and high ground clearance. These features go well together, and they make the Ford F-150 an excellent off-roader. If you equip the vehicle with all-wheel drive, then you can expect further improvements in its off-road performance. The F-150's Tremor package is even better for off-roading. It has rear twin-tube shocks and front monotube shocks. These shocks make the truck tougher, and they help it handle even the roughest roads that you want to tackle. 3. A Lush Interior Heated, ventilated, and adjustable seats are desirable upgrades available in many trucks. However, in the Ford F-150, those features are standard. No matter what trim you get, you're sure to be comfortable in the Ford F-150. Dual-zone climate control is also standard. You can opt for a few upgrades that make the interior feel even more luxurious. A heated steering wheel is available, which is fantastic for cold winter mornings. You can also avail of ambient cabin lighting in a color of your choice. 4. Large, Capable Infotainment System The Ford F-150 has a 12-inch infotainment system. Many competitors only offer smaller screens, which are around 8-inches in size. The larger 12-inch display makes it easier to see all of the information you need at a glance. The infotainment system can be voice-controlled, so you don't even need to look at the screen while you're driving. You can keep your eyes on the road, give the system a command, and wait for the infotainment system to do as it's told. One feature you can activate is a navigation system, which is fantastic for road trips and people who like to explore. The system is also a WiFi hotspot, and you can sync your smartphone to it, too. Come and visit us at Gates Ford Lincoln to check out the Ford F-150 in person. Call our sales team at 859-785-4064 if you want to arrange a viewing or a test drive in advance. We'll make sure you have a positive experience with the F-150. Image courtesy of https://www.pexels.com/photo/black-and-silver-ford-logo-3323202/
