A standard 3.3-liter V6 engine with direct injection for increased efficiency is expected to generate 282 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque. An all-new second-generation 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine has dual port and direct injection technology for improved output, quality, efficiency and durability. Both this engine and a 3.5-liter EcoBoost egine will be paired to a segment-exclusive 10-speed automatic transmission. A naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine puts out increased power and torque, and will also be matched to the 10-speed automatic transmission. For the first time ever, there's a 3.0-liter Power Stroke diesel engine available for the F-150. Ford F-150 is the first full-size pickup truck to offer automatic start/stop as a standard feature on all trim levels. Available in the fall, the 2018 F-150 is being built at the company's Dearborn Truck Plant in Dearborn, Michigan, and Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Missouri.

It is believed that the vehicles will be built on the same body-on-frame platform. "We've heard our customers loud and clear. They want a new generation of vehicles that are incredibly capable yet fun to drive," commented Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of The Americas. "Ranger is for truck buyers who want an affordable, functional, rugged and maneuverable pickup that's Built Ford Tough. Bronco will be a no-compromise midsize 4x4 utility for thrill seekers who want to venture way beyond the city." Contact Hamilton Big Country Ford to talk with a member of our knowledgeable team.

It was pulled along by one of Ford's most popular models, a new Ford F-Series Super Duty truck.

It also mentions that the pickup has 12,200 pounds of towing power. The video shows that it can also hold a load of 3,270 pounds.

Clovis, New Mexico, is revered by outdoors enthusiasts for the scenic nature that surrounds the city. The Ford F-150 truck lineup is popular, therefore, because drivers in Clovis know how important it is to have a vehicle that can handle driving on all types of terrain. After all, enjoying our environment means exploring it, and doing that requires off-road capabilities. Many of these activities also require the ability to tow a trailer or haul a payload of ATVs, hunting or fishing supplies, or camping gear. What gives an F-150 pickup truck its power is its engine, and with a family of four great engines to choose from, you can be sure that when you buy or lease a new F-150 truck at Hamilton Big Country Ford, that vehicle will have the exact capability you need. To start with, three out of the four Ford F-150 engines are V6 motors. The most powerful of these is the 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6, which produces 365 horsepower and 420 foot-pounds of torque. For the best combined MPG, though, consider the 2.7-liter EcoBoost® engine. If you are looking for the maximum amount of horsepower for your new Ford F-150 truck, the right choice is the largest engine in the family, a 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 motor that puts out 385 horses. Feel free to take a test drive in any of our F-150 truck models for sale to learn firsthand what engine best suits you.

When a job calls for a task that regular work trucks cannot do, you can turn to Ford's lineup of Super Duty® trucks, which are some of the strongest and toughest pickups available anywhere. In Clovis, New Mexico, in particular, you can browse a wide selection of new Super Duty models for sale or lease at Hamilton Big Country Ford. But what exactly is the source of these trucks' durability? What makes a Ford F-250 SD pickup capable of tackling huge tasks without breaking a sweat? For one thing, Super Duty trucks have an aluminum alloy body that is high-strength and military grade. The frame of these pickups, meanwhile, is built with high-strength boxed steel, and most recently, upgraded suspension and steering systems in the new 2017 Ford Super Duty trucks give them enhanced control and more responsive steering even while towing or hauling a heavy load. The axles on these Super Duty models are stronger, as well. Thus, by working together, these different elements create extraordinary durability. To give you an idea, Ford has test driven its current generation of Super Duty trucks over 12 million miles. If they are that confident in their product, you can also be.

Looking for #summer #roadtrip ideas? These @Interior national parks are well worth the drive. https://t.co/SI2ondiTkW - Ford Motor Company (@Ford) June 27, 2016 The first U.S. National Park was established in 1872, signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant. The purpose was to preserve a unique, and distinctly American landscape for future generations to enjoy. That park, Yellowstone, remains to this day one of the most iconic places to experience close encounters with American bison, wolves, elk, eagles, and grizzly bears. The famed Old Faithful Geyser also draws crowds from around the world. This prestige earns it a place as the first stop on Ford's list of five National Park drives, which you might want to take with your Ford Expedition. Also pulling Ford's notice are the Adirondacks, the largest national park in the lower 48 states, Yosemite, Glacier National Park, and the Grand Canyon. Each offers their own unique driving experience, scenic views, and camping and hiking opportunities. Visit Hamilton Big Country Ford to find the perfect road-trip vehicle in our new inventory. Look for SYNC 3 with optional voice-activated GPS navigation, for a co-pilot with a perfect sense of direction.

Say hello to the 2017 #Ford #Fusion, an impressive combination of safety and style. https://t.co/xsnrWXbsjB - Ford Fusion (@FordFusion) June 16, 2016 The 2017 Ford Fusion is newly redesigned and safer than ever before, joining the Ford F-150 as an IIHS Top Safety Pick. To earn a Top Safety Pick under the IIHS's new, more stringent standards, the Fusion had to earn the highest score in all five of the IIHS's crashworthiness tests. Up until the 2016 model, the Fusion was already earning the highest marks in four out of five categories, but lagged behind slightly in the small-overlap front test, earning the second-highest mark. This year, the 2017 Fusion received more than just a facelift, but also received bolstered protection against small-overlap collisions, and an upgraded Pre-Collision System, capable of preventing a crash at up to 25mph. "The 2017 Ford Fusion is our most advanced car yet and we're proud to see it recognized by NHTSA and the IIHS for its safety performance too," said Bill Strickland, chief program engineer, Ford Motor Company. "Great new features include a pedestrian detection system and hands-free parallel and perpendicular parking capability, as well as existing optional lane-keeping assist and Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert." At Hamilton Big Country Ford, we pride ourselves on the safety and high-tech features of our new vehicles. Visit us in Clovis today, and take a look at what we have to offer.
