When it comes to finding the ultimate vehicle for weekend boating adventures on the Spokane River or up to Lake Pend Orielle in Idaho, the search ends at Wendle Ford with the iconic Ford F-150. The truck was designed with towing in mind. Known for its unparalleled blend of reliability, power and advanced features, the F-150 emerges as the go-to choice for boaters. Let’s launch into a number of reasons why the Ford pickup stands out as the best companion for your water explorations.
Unmatched Towing Capability
The Ford F-150 shines in its towing capabilities. When it tows, it doesn’t slow your roll. Boating demands a vehicle that can handle the significant weight of towing a boat comfortably and safely. The truck delivers a best-in-class 13,500 lbs. of available towing capacity when properly equipped, ensuring that transporting your boat to and from Lake Coeur d’Alene or any of the beautiful lakes in the Inland Northwest a breeze. Whether you own a small fishing boat or a larger recreational one, the F-150 has the power to get you and your boat to the water effortlessly.
Versatile Bed Options
The F-150’s versatility extends to its bed options, a hit with boaters. The available configurations offer ample space not just for boating accessories such as life vests, fishing gear and coolers, but also for any additional leisure or camping equipment you might want to bring along. The available truck bed sizes are 5.5’, 6.5’ and 8.0’. An added advantage to the truck is the available Pro Access Tailgate and the Integrated Tailgate Step.
Pro Access Tailgate: The design gets you 19” closer to the truck bed, making reaching into the truck bed easier. The swing gate offers a 100-degree fully opened integrated tailgate and allows for access even when hitched to a trailer. Plus, it can be folded down just like a traditional tailgate.
Integrated Tailgate Step: For your convenience, you can get the available integrated tailgate step. It’s a big help when climbing into the bed of your truck. You lower the tailgate, press the release button and pull the step out. When you’re done, push it back into the tailgate until it clicks. So easy!
Advanced Technology for Smoother Launching
Pro Trailer Backup Assist: The F-150 offers advanced technology to make launching a boat less of a challenge. The available Pro Trailer Backup Assist makes maneuvering as easy as turning a knob. Enter a few measurements into the system then simply rotate the knob in the direction you want the trailer to go while the system controls the steering wheel. You can think of the tech as a digital spotter. When you activate it, the Pro Trailer Backup Assist will position the truck and the hitch right where they need to be for connecting a trailer.
Smart Trailer Tow Connector: Your truck comes standard with a feature that monitors key components about the trailer you’re towing. The Smart Trailer Tow Connector informs you if something about your trailer needs attention. The towing tab on your productivity screen will show burned out or unlit turn signals, brake lights and trailer battery problems.
Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): The system monitors your vehicle and provides a warning if the tires of a trailer that you’re towing are significantly underinflated. If one or more tires of a connected trailer become underinflated, the TPMS will display a pop-up warning in your instrument display indicating which tire is low.
Rugged Durability
The F-150 build quality goes hand-in-hand with durability, an important factor when considering the varied conditions encountered during boat trips. The foundation is a fully boxed high-strength steel frame with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body, ready to stand up to whatever you throw into it and whatever you are towing. Designed to withstand the rigors of towing and rugged terrain, it is sure to be a reliable partner for years to come.
