Professions That A Truck Would Benefit

Whether your business is relatively new, or has been up and running successfully for years, the decisions that you must make daily never stops. Some of these decisions can be easy, and some can be overwhelming. Some will only affect you that day, and some will affect you for years to come. Choosing your company vehicle is a decision that will impact you for years. Choosing the wrong vehicle can not only be inconvenient, but also costly for years to come. For many companies, a Ford F150 truck is the best option for practicality and financial purposes. Some of the people who are most suited to the Ford F150 are:

Coaches

Whether it be soccer, football, baseball, or swimming, any coach knows that the job comes with a lot of material. From equipment, to cones for running drills to soccer balls, there are times that a small sedan or even an SUV simply will not cut it. Many coaches would agree that the coaching duties are much easier to take when they own a truck.

Contract House Worker

There are many professionals where skilled laborers are asked to work on someone’s home. Whether they are contracted to build the home from the ground up, or they are asked to complete a single task such as painting a room, or reroofing the home, many contract workers find that they have a lot of material that they must lug from home to home. In addition to material, they often have to carry workers from home to home as well. An F150 truck is the perfect option for them to get everything and everyone where they need to be in order to get the job done.

 

Tow Across Country With Ford F-150

There are many reasons to own and drive a truck, one of which is to be able to tow trailers. Whether for work or leisure, being able to tow a trailer with your vehicle is a huge advantage to have. That is why the Ford F-150 puts so much effort towards making sure that it can tow whatever and whenever you need it to.

Backing Up With Ease

One of the most stressful parts of towing a trailer is trying to reverse with it. Doing so involves using slow and precise movements in order to get the trailer to go exactly where you want it to. Luckily, the F-150 comes with Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which makes the entire process a lot easier.

Instead of trying to figure out angles and move with precision, the vehicle takes the pressure of reversing a trailer and makes it as simple as turning a knob. The feature allows you to turn the knob in whichever direction you want the trailer to go and then sit back as the truck automatically steers itself to match the desired direction.

The entire time you are able to get a view full of the trailer and where it is headed thanks to the display screen and strategically placed cameras. It provides an all encompassing bird’s eye view of the truck and trailer as well as the area directly behind the trailer so that you can see whatever obstacles are in the way. You can even find a detailed real time report on the condition of the trailer, including tire pressure, lighting connection, and brake conditions.

Steady As a Rock

Towing trailers makes a vehicle far more susceptible to strong winds and fast speeds, so it is important to do everything that you can to try and reduce the risk of the trailer swaying whenever you are towing something. The F-150 helps with this by utilizing the Trailer Sway Control feature, which monitors the amount that a trailer sways and can automatically apply the vehicle’s brakes in order to reduce any swaying that occurs.

Ford F-150 Makes Driving Safer Than Ever Before

With great power comes great responsibility, and this responsibility is not something that the Ford F-150 takes lightly. That is why this extremely powerful model comes equipped with a wide range of safety features that are designed to make your drives as safe as can be.

Keeping Control At All Times

When an inexperienced driver gets behind the wheel of a larger vehicle, it can sometimes result in them having issues controlling it, especially at higher speeds and around corners. However, the F-150 utilizes several different features to make keeping control of the vehicle incredibly easy.

AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ helps to keep all four of the vehicle’s wheels on the ground at all times. Through automatically applied brake pressure and reduced engine throttle, the vehicle is able to significantly reduce the chances of it losing control and experiencing a rollover.

Traveling around corners also becomes much safer thanks to the Curve Control feature. This handy system is capable of determining when the vehicle is travelling around a corner too fast and can even reduce the speed of the vehicle by as much as 10 mph in order to try and maintain control over the vehicle.

Maintaining Safe Distances

It is easy to get distracted for a few seconds and become dangerously close to the vehicle ahead of you. When this happens, all it takes is for them to quickly apply the brakes and you will have no time to avoid a front-end collision. That is why the F-150 comes with a couple of different safety features that help to maintain a safe distance between you and any obstacles ahead of you on the road.

The cruise control with the stop-and-go system is able to maintain a set speed while also adapting to the changing speed of the vehicles ahead of you. If the vehicle in front happens to slow down, then the system will cause your vehicle to automatically reduce its speed to match. Once that vehicle resumes a faster speed, your vehicle will also accelerate until it either matches the vehicle ahead or meets its preset speed.
