The Ford F-Series Has Been America’s Best-selling Pick-up For over 40 Years, and We Found Out Why!

-

From an original American workhorse to a luxury machine; the Ford F-series has managed to morph into a vehicle that is on everyone’s radar. Since being introduced in 1948, the Ford F-150 has had the honor of being referred to as the most popular motor vehicle of all time and has been the bestsellin­g vehicle in the United States for over 30 years! Currently there are more F-Series trucks on the road with 250,000 miles or more on them than any other brand. This wasn’t achieved by accident. Ford made sure that the Ford F-150 was put through more than 10 million miles of rigorous testing before it was offered for sale. With the implementa­tion of military grade aluminum alloys and other weight saving measures Ford has managed to reduce the curb weight by almost 700 pounds off the current version of the pickup. This, coupled with Ford’s innovative 3.5-liter turbocharg­ed EcoBoost engine, has preserved the power and strength of the Ford F-150, while also providing it with remarkable fuel economy. The result of reduced weight is an effective way to increase payload and give the F-150 a best-inclass payload rating in F-150 models powered by the legendary Ford 5.0L V8 and impressive power ratings of 395 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque with an available convention­al tow rating of 13,200 lbs. A ruggedly disguised version of the F-150 is available that is equipped to perform even in the toughest of environmen­ts, like the Baja 1000! The Baja 1000 is one of the most prestigiou­s offroad races in the world, attracting competitor­s from all over the world and takes place each year on the Baja California Peninsula. This Mexican off-road motorsport race allows various types of vehicle classes to compete on the same course with classes for; cars, trucks, motorcycle­s, ATVs and buggies. The Baja 1000 course has remained relatively the same with about every other event being either a point-to-point race from Ensenada to La Paz, or a loop race starting and finishing in Ensenada. It is clear that the F-150 Raptor is equipped to take on punishing terrain that would be off-limits for a convention­al 4-wheeler, but it is available to the public as an exciting daily driver! Your local Ford dealer, Bill Alexander Ford Lincoln, 801 E32nd St., wants to make getting into an F-150 as easy as possible. By acquiring pre-owned vehicles and giving you the highest value for your trade they are able to make purchasing a Ford F-150 easier and more affordable than ever. The management at Bill Alexander Ford Lincoln has been directed to offer above market value for any vehicle that is free from collision damage and has less than 100,000 miles. In an effort to make room for all of the new 2020 models they have reduced the pricing of their 3 million-dollar 2019 new car inventory to at or below cost. In an interview with General Manager, Everett Dawson, it was uncovered that the manufactur­er is also supporting this endeavor with Factory rebates and trade assistance offers that are higher than any other time in history. Dawson added that Ford Motor Credit is offering interest rates as low as 0% for this event and rebates as high as $9,000.00. If you are looking to update and upgrade this is the time, according to General Manager Everett Dawson. Due to changes in the automotive industry there are shortages of quality low mileage, clean, preowned vehicles. Because of this there has been a spike in cost and the prices are so high at auctions that it makes more sense for Bill Alexander Ford Lincoln to work hard to buy from the public. Dawson states that many times, the trades are worth more to us than the vehicles we can get at auction.
