All-New F-650/F-750 Join America's Best-Selling Commercial Truck Lineup

FLUSHING, Mich - The All-New F-650/F-750 Join America's Best-Selling Commercial Truck Lineup serving as Ford's medium-duty anchors. The F-650/F-740 are raising medium-duty truck standards, joining the lineup as the toughest, best value, work-ready trucks of their kind. Ford engineers worked hard to develop a vehicle for those hard-working customers that is cost-effective, ready for work and will keep them going on the job.

The 2016 F-650 and F-750 models will be going on sale in spring 2015. Three cab styles - Regular Cab, SuperCab and CrewCab - and three models - straight frame, dock height and an all-new dedicated tractor model for heavy towing - will be available. The new F-650/F-750 have a powerful and efficient second-generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 diesel engine accompanied by a host of special features that you won't find on any other medium-duty truck. These trucks are now providing customers with another level of advanced capabilities, quality and convenience. Ford has even created a segment-exclusive gasoline and diesel engine for the truck. They are the only medium-duty truck manufacturer that has designed their own diesel engine and transmission combination. This is a HUGE advantage for Ford to optimize performances across their entire commercial truck lineup.

These new trucks are fully loaded with SYNC® and Crew Chief™factory-installed fleet management telematics, available rapid-cab heater that heats the cab quickly in cold climates, and a remote start. The steering wheel has also taken a turn (pun intended) in a more technical direction with advanced controls to help the driver's road concentration. It was important for these models to have a variety of additional design and feature elements that the mainstream products have to improve the overall ride and steering of the truck.

Of course the All-New F-650/F-750 Joining America's Best-Selling Commercial Truck Lineup must endure the famous Ford torture-tests by both people and machines to prove its durability. From hauling heavy loads through the hottest of climates to a freezing drive up the steepest of hills, the F-650/F-750 will power through it all. Delehanty Ford will keep you updated on the progress of the latest commercial truck additions as we wait for the official debut next spring.

Ford Celebrates 80th Anniversary of the Aussie Ute

FLUSHING, Mich - Ford Celebrates 80th Anniversary of the Aussie Ute, the iconic truck that led to the development of the F-Series and Ranger vehicles that we know and love today. The first Ford Ute is a major part of Ford's heritage that has led to several iconic vehicles and truck leadership around the world.

Let's take a trip back to 1933, when Hubert French, the managing director of Ford Motor Company of Australia, received a letter from a farmer's wife. The letter stated that the couple couldn't afford two vehicles, but needed something they could use to drive to church as well as for farm related purposes. Hubert French worked with young designer, Lewis Bandt, who created a sketch with a coupe body and pickup sides. Combining both a clean profile and plenty of room to load items behind the cabin. 

A few adjustments came along the way. Bandt added a wooden-framed utility section in place of their rear luggage compartment, making for a more smooth-sided vehicle. Just like that, the Ford Ute became the "must have" vehicle in rural areas and 22,000 were sold between 1950 and 1954. Bandt's coupe utility was a first for Ford Australia and quickly mad a large impact on the Australia auto industry. It paved the way for what we now know as some of the world's most popular vehicles or better know as the Pickup or utility. The original Ute also spawned the Falcon Ute; a vehicle that Ford Australia has sold more than 455,000 of! 

Ford Celebrates 80th Anniversary of the Aussie Ute, the vehicle that is accountable for much of the success Ford Motor Company has seen in the year 2013. Without the original idea of the Ford Ute many years ago, the Ford Series would not have become the best-selling vehicle in the history of the pickup truck industry. It may also not have been the world's best-selling truck for the 37th consecutive year.

2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty Updates

FLUSHING, Mich.- Delivering on their promise, Ford Motor Company has announced the much anticipated updates for the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty at the Texas State Fair! To stay ahead of the competition, the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty updates include a luxurious restyling of the 2015 F-Series Super Duty King Ranch, upgraded towing capability for the F-450, and most importantly improvements to Ford's 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine to boost performance, capability, and durability!

Good news for buyers, the second generation of automaker's Power Stroke V8 will be more powerful and more reliable. Super Duty engineers were able to drastically improve the big turbodiesel V8 with one simple change: a bigger turbocharger that is 8.5 millimeters larger in diameter than before! The larger turbocharger actually allows the Power Stroke to use less boost than before while making more useable power which eliminates the wastegate and associated controls. Overall, the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine becomes simpler and more reliable, though official power output has not yet been released but Ford has stated that it will make more than the current model's 400hp and 800 lb-ft. of torque.

Besides power, the updated Power Stroke V8 will provide some other benefits as well. Thanks to the turbocharger, high-altitude performance and engine exhaust braking are both improved. And to allow the engine to handle the extra power, Ford added a new torque converter for the six-speed automatic, new high pressure fuel pump and fuel injectors, and reduced friction on the engine's internals.

The 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty Updates include the F-450 as well. With increased towing and hauling capability, the 2015 Ford F-450 also received a strengthened frame, heavy duty rear leaf springs, stronger shocks and stabilizer bars, and stronger brakes. The anti-lock braking system and 6.7-liter Power Stoke engine are both also re-calibrated. And with all that towing power, "commercial-grade" 19.5-inch wheels and tires are a necessity.

But for those interested in F-Series luxury, the updated 2015 Super Duty King Ranch boasts new upscale features. An even more luxurious interior features higher-quality Mesa leather on the seats, arm rests, steering wheel, and center console lid. The leather seats and center console lid are also branded with a more prominent "Running W" logo. But don't forget about the exterior which features "Running W" branded wheelcaps. The range-topping King Ranch exterior styling updates also include bumpers, lower body and wheel lip moldings now painted in metallic-brown "Caribou" paint.

Though the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty likely won't go on sale until next year, you can Discover the current Ford F-Series at Delehanty Ford. We're located at 1510 E. Pierson Road, Flushing, MI 48433. Feel free to give us a call at (810) 659-5688 with any questions you may have.
