Ford Work Solutions!


People who buy a truck from Honda Louisville might be disappointed in their selection after they learn about the cool new features that Ford Motor Company is offering on their truck and van line up.  You have to admit that people who buy these large trucks from places like Ford Boise are likely going to use them for construction business trades.  These people need their trucks and vans to function well as off-road vehicles as well as portable office solutions.  There are four services from Ford that come as options on the F-150, Super Duty, E-Series, and Transit Connect vehicles.

The best feature is an In-Dash Computer that even folks who drive cars from Kia CT will be envious of.  Featuring a 6.5" screen, wireless keyboard, and 4 GB worth of Microsoft technology allow users full office capabilities.  You can upload documents from a USB drive or SD memory card via the built-in ports.  Also, you can access your office computers remotely from the truck and print documents via a Bluetooth powered printer.  Internet service is available through Sprint.

Ford teamed up with DeWalt to create Tool Link.  After you tag all of your gear with radio frequency tags, the antennas will scan your vehicle to make sure everything is present and accounted for.  Plus, you can create specialized lists to make sure you have all the appropriate tools when you leave your house to complete the day's tasks. 

Another new technology from Ford is Crew Chief.  This program is best suited for people who manage a fleet of vehicles.  With this feature, you can keep maintenance logs for each vehicle, locate your entire fleet via GPS, and communicate with the drivers at any moment.  The last feature is Cable Lock.  This is only available on the F-150 and Super Duty models.  Drivers no longer have to worry about their tools and gear in the back of the truck once they have secured it with a 10 foot long braided steel cable.
