Maximizing Productivity with the Ford F-150

Ford F-150
When you think of pickup trucks, the Ford F-150 is likely the first one you’ll think of. With a longstanding legacy of greatness, the Ford F-150 is hard to beat in terms of style, strength, and overall capability and handling. 

Loved by both commuters and those who use their trucks for work, the Ford F-150 can handle anything you throw at it. If you’re currently considering one, here’s what you need to know, including how it can maximize your productivity. 

The Power Is in the Details 


Your workday in Muskegan will go off without a hitch when you power up your F-150. The truck’s powerful engine lineup means that it’s always rearing to go regardless of where your workday takes you, whether that’s Holland or the Northern Shores. 

This engine lineup includes the powerful 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 engine, which offers 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque. Your other option includes the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine with 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. Both engines offer excellent towing abilities, with the hybrid towing up to 12,700 pounds and the EcoBoost towing up to 14,000 pounds.

In addition to the F-150’s impressive and powerful engine lineup, you’ll also be treated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and selectable drive modes. These selectable drive modes include Tow/Haul, Slippery and Trail, Normal, Sport, Deep Snow/Sand, Mud/Ruts, and ECO. 

Whatever the road conditions, you can trust that your F-150 pickup truck has the power and capability to handle anything that comes its way. 

Unmatched Capability 


But speaking of capability, let’s take a look at that next. There are many reasons the F-150 pickup truck is unmatched in terms of capability. Your Western Michigan workday will be made easier with the available and class-exclusive Pro Power Onboard system. 

This system turns your truck into a mobile generator, allowing you to use drills, welders, reciprocating saws, and even televisions and game consoles. What you can plug in depends on the type of outlets you get. Your options include: 

  • 2000kW
  • 2.4kW
  • 7.2kW

Our Great Lakes team is more than happy to explore these outlet and power options with you so you can have the ones that are most needed for your workday. 

Another reason the F-150 is so impressive in terms of capability is that it can also be equipped with Ford BlueCruise. Not only does this offer several safety features (which we’ll get to later), but it comes with hands-free technology that is available on 97% of controlled-access highways throughout Hudsonville, Ludington, and the country. 

Ford Co-Pilot30 Technology and the Safety Features You Need While Traveling to and from Work in Coopersville 

If you’re using your F-150 for work in and around Coopersville or elsewhere in Western Michigan, you’ll find the peace of mind you need. 

This technological system includes top safety features such as: 

  • Lane-Keeping System
  • Pre Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Automatic High-Beam Headlamps 
  • Rear View Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist
  • Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage
  • Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control 

Rolling Workbench that Creates a Portable Work Surface


Earlier, we mentioned the ability you’ll have to work beside your vehicle thanks to the outlets on board. Well, these features help put them to good use! 

With the F-150, you’ll be able to use your tailgate as a work surface. This tailgate even has rulers, bottle openers, and cup holders for your comfort and convenience on a hot summer day. In addition to the strengthened tailgate, you’ll also have access to the interior workbench. 

The center console inside your truck can go flat and turn into a portable surface for your laptop, so you can send out orders, respond to emails, attend meetings, and catch your favorite videos on your lunch break. 

Maximizing productivity is just one of the many ways that the F-150 stands out from the crowd. If you’re interested in learning more, then head on over to Preferred Ford of Grand Haven, an easy 30-minute drive from Hudsonville.
