Have you been looking for a truck packed with features that can power your time on the job site, along with your recreational activities? We highly recommend getting to know the F-150. Many people know that the F-150 is one of the best-selling full-size, light-duty pickups in the country, thanks to its great towing figures and highly customizable design. However, not everyone knows about some of the details you’ll only discover when you test drive and experience an F-150 for yourself. If you’ve been looking for a Ford dealer near Rutland to show you the F-150’s many benefits, we hope you’ll visit Faith’s Ford, part of Faith’s Automotive. Their friendly sales associates would love to show you why the F-150 is the perfect work-hard/play-harder pickup. And we’ll go over some of the reasons below.

Pro Power On Demand: Ready for Building Houses and Memories

If you purchase the F-150 XLT or higher model, you can add the Pro Power Onboard feature, Ford’s ultra-popular on-board generator system that gives you the freedom to plug in appliances when there’s no outlet in sight. There are three power levels available for the traditional gas engine F-150: 2.0kW, 2.4kW and 7.2 kW. So, what exactly will you have the power to do with each of these generators? Let’s explore.

With the 2.0kW Pro Power Onboard, you’ll get up to four available 120V/20A outlets. You can power devices like your smartphone, tablet, and laptop. So if you have to travel to remote job sites that don’t have so much as running water let alone a power strip, you can still take care of admin work on-the-go. Some areas of Rutland County are very remote, and if you’re handling one job on a client’s massive, undeveloped land when you need to video chat with another client, you’ll like having this available mobile office setup. You can also plug in small kitchen items like blenders to create lunches and refreshments at a job site or a tailgate party.

With the 2.4kW Pro Power Onboard, you’ll also get up to four available 120V/20A outlets. You will be able to power the items covered by the 2.0kw, but your options will increase. In addition to being able to charge the items covered by the 2.0kW, you can also run things like a television, mini fridge, or large speakers. So if you and a crew need to get settled in for a long day on a job site, you can have access to chilled snacks and hot java while you work. And you can even put the big game on in the background.

Finally, with the 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard, you’ll get up to six available 120V/20A outlets. You’ll have the power to plug in heavy-duty power tools. Think of a hammer drill, air compressor, and a circular saw. If you work in construction or a similar field, then you know that most residential properties don’t have the infrastructure to power these mega tools without causing a blackout. So this will come in handy.

Flip and Fold Rear Seats for Your Cargo

Some days, you might not need the rear seats of your F-150, but you could definitely use the extra cargo space. Whether you have boxes of tools you don’t want to be exposed in the bed or have won too many prizes at the Vermont State Fair, you’ll find a place to put them all by taking advantage of the F-150’s foldable rear seats. All you do is flip the seats up, and they’ll fold flush with the seat backs, creating plenty of extra floor space for your belongings.

Here’s another cool part of this feature: the under-seat lockable storage bin. When you flip up those rear seats, you’ll find a large lockable storage compartment that runs nearly the full width of the rear seat area. Its discreet location makes it the perfect place to store items you’d never want someone to get to should anybody manage to break into the vehicle. And even if they did find the compartment, it’s lockable, so your items would remain secure. We understand that contractors and similar professionals often have to travel with valuable items, and sometimes need to leave their trucks unattended. So we know that this hidden, locked compartment is a great value-add for certain drivers.

A Pro Access Tailgate for an Easier Reach Into the Bed

Most truck owners know what a hassle it can be to try to access your belongings in your pickup bed with a traditional tailgate. When it’s closed, you can try to reach over it, but some items are just out of reach. Open it up, and now you’ve put even more space between yourself and the contents of the bed, forcing you to just hop in. The F-150 fixes that problem with the Pro Access Tailgate.

The Pro Access Tailgate swings out, like a barn door, rather than down like a regular tailgate (though it can also swing down if you prefer that). When you open the tailgate like a door, you can instantly get 19 inches closer to the bed’s contents. So when you’re frequently grabbing cold beverages out of a cooler during Rutland’s summer concert series in Main Street Park, you’ll find it a little easier to do with this special tailgate. Likewise, when friends are hopping in and out of the bed, they don’t have to climb over the walls. The door can be opened from multiple angles, even when towing a trailer. Access your bed contents more easily, no matter your setup, with this innovative swing-out tailgate.
