Penticton, you’re about to have a new dream car. Wards has named the Ford Escape on their 10 Best UX list for 2020, and it’s a well deserved honor.
FordAuthority reports that Wards was blown away by the Escape’s glare free 8 inch infotainment touchscreen and 12.3 inch digital instrument panel. They also noted that the tech features were easy to use, and plentiful. Their favorites include the Sync 3 system, which gives you easy access to your favorite music, real-time navigation, hands-free calling and more. FordPass Connect 4G LTE WiFi was another highlight, connecting you with your vehicle from anywhere. The 575 watt, 10 speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system is the cherry on top of this winning combination!
Keeping in mind that it’s unsafe to fiddle with a touchscreen while in motion, the Escape has integrated physical controls within reach of the steering wheel. Voice commands access all the functions as well. Wards judges were thrilled that the car actually understood what the driver was saying. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane-Centering and Evasive Steering Assist add to the safety features, while Active Park Assist 2.0 helps you get parked when you’ve arrived.

The Ford F-150 has long been a workhorse that can haul, tow, and handle harsh conditions. The 2021 version of the full-size pickup, which is the 14th generation of the famous truck, seeks to live up to that ready-for-anything reputation.
The '21 F-150 uses Ford's hybrid "PowerBoost" drivetrain, which will feature a twin-turbo V6 engine and a 35 kWh motor fed by a 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery. Drivers can expect a smooth ride thanks to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Despite going hybrid, Ford says the newest F-Series entry will not sacrifice strength. According to Motor Trend, Detroit-based automaker says that its 2021 model will have more horsepower than any full-size light-duty pickup, but it has yet to announce the exact specifications for the 2021 F-150.
If Ford backs up the most-power-in-class claim, buyers can expect at least 450 hp, which will provide enough muscle to tow six tons or more.
Ford has already announced that the 14th version of the F150 will have a rather impressive range of 700 miles when the tank is full.
Ford plans to start ramping up production in the autumn and will add the 2021 model to its current lineup of F-150s by the end of the year. If you are in the Penticton area, you can schedule a 2021 F-150 test drive at Skaha Ford in December 2020 or January 2021.

If you've always dreamed about getting behind the wheel of a muscle car that packs loads of power under the hood, then the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Signature Edition and its 800+ HP engine just might be what you're looking for.
The automaker is constructing 100 of the upgraded GT500 SEs -- for enthusiasts who aren't satisfied with the already whopping 760 HP produced by the "regular" models. The limited-edition version features a supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 motor, a smaller supercharger pulley, and a beefed-up cooling system. It also sits closer to the pavement than does the regular version. And it is equipped with new springs on the front and on the back, anti-roll bars, and beefier axle shafts that can cope with the extra oomph. If you want to customize yours, you can go with options like a widebody package.
So what's the cost for the rare steed that packs a ton of power? You'll have to pay a cool $101,490 to be able to get one onto your driveway. But if you want the thrill of owning the most powerful production vehicle the company has ever manufactured, then get ready to rev your engine! Get in touch to schedule a test drive of one of our Mustangs!

2020 Ford Mustang Shelby whips into Penticton

Exclusivity and superior style reign supreme when it comes to Ford’s newest Shelby. The 2020 Mustang boasts 800 HP and a 5.2-litre V-8 engine. The Signature Edition GT500SE’s smaller supercharger pulley and upgraded cooling system give it the speed to go from 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds. To give the famed muscle car that extra boost, an uprated heat exchanger was added. The speedster runs on 93-octane gas because when something is that elegant, it only drinks premium.
Sitting lower than the average standard vehicle, the latest model Mustang combines form and function with a new carbon-fibre hood, wide-body kit, and 20-inch Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The latest safety features include anti-roll bars and new front and rear springs. With extra power comes extra responsibility, and the stronger axle shafts are more than ready to take on Penicton roads.
The interior plays to the in-crowd with Carroll Shelby’s handwritten signature stitched across the seat. According to Car and Driver, only 100 of these marvels are being built within the model year and each vehicle has engine and dash plaques showing off the car’s distinctive serial number. The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500SE turns driving from A to B into a truly exhilarating experience.

There is nothing more iconic than the pony emblem on the Ford Mustang. Since 1964, the distinct logo has marked the car to let everyone know that, yes, this is a Mustang. While the horse has remained, one notable feature that has been absent in recent years is the equally unique chrome corral that once surrounded the badge.
Now the pony is coming back home.
Ford recently announced a new appearance package for the 2018 Mustang that will feature the chrome corral right in the middle of the grill. The addition honors the car’s long heritage of being an icon among classic vehicles. However, don’t assume this Mustang is just a vintage remake. This offering will come with Ford’s EcoBoost technology which increases engine performance without sacrificing overall efficiency. The company hopes an additional port fuel injection and 10 speed transmission will also improve milage.
Other updates in the Pony Package include 19” polished aluminum rims, ebony horse logos on the carpeted floor mats, and a tri-bar mustang badge on the rear decklid. New LED headlights, fenders, and a lower vented hood round out the model’s design upgrades.
Look for the 2018 Mustang in October. Contact us today to reserve your own steed.
In advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, Ford is excited to announce the newest member of its lineup, the EcoSport – the smallest crossover in its family, according to USA Today.
Small sized SUVs are experiencing increasing popularity. This makes the launch of EcoSport perfectly timed in the market. The Ecosport is aimed towards empty nesters and millennials, who crave the versatility without needing the full size of the Ford Explorer.
While similar to the Ford Escape, the EcoSport is smaller in size and sportier in design. It will be available in 2018 in four versions, the S, SE, SES, and Titanium. The EcoSport features a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged EcoBoost engine and front-wheel drive. Drivers will have the option to upgrade to an optional 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with all-wheel drive.
Ford EcoSport Titanium edition will boast a state of the art sound system complete with 10 675-watt speakers and feature a Harman audio system. The focus was on creating an elite, world-class music experience for Titanium drivers. The emphasis on audio made it only natural that EcoSport’s prestigious launch, titled “Go Small, Live Big”, took place at the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and featured hip-hop producer and performer DJ Khaled.
The Ford EcoSport is already available in the Indian market, where it will continue to be produced. Ford will be the first American automaker to import Indian produced vehicles to the US.
