Lightning Frunk Ice Chest at BK

BK Ford welcomes the new Ford F-150 Lightning

BK Ford is happy to welcome the all new all electric Ford F-150 Lightning to the family. The F-150 Lightning is the most innovative F-150 that Ford has ever built. On June 23, 2022, the BK Ford team welcomed the Lightning to Waco with a kickoff event! At this event, we were able to demonstrate just a few of the new features of the Ford Lightning, including the Mega Power Frunk  that we used as an ice chest to serve drinks. At the event, we were able to power disco lights and bake cookies off the tailgate! We showed off some of our fun power tools including a welder, the Lightning was able to power a welder (and used less power then the oven) while still baking cookies. It was such a fun afternoon getting to witness the options that are built into this Ford F-150! more View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bird Kultgen Ford (@bkfordwaco) If you’re new to learning about the Ford F-150 Lightning and have questions, here’s a little more information regarding America’s first fully electric truck: The F-150 Lightning is the smartest, most innovative F-150 that Ford has ever built, with the freedom of a 10-kilowatt smart power plant on wheels, software updates that can make it even better over time and Built Ford Tough capability. It’s also the fastest-accelerating F-150 yet, with a 0-60 mph time in the mid-4-second range when equipped with an extended-range battery. Aside from its speed and power, its towing capability is pretty remarkable as well. Onboard Scales use the truck’s sensors to estimate payload and tell customers how much they’re hauling so they can utilize the full capability of the truck and adjust their driving style as needed. And since payload can impact range, Onboard Scales is integrated with Intelligent Range to help ensure F-150 Lightning gives an accurate range estimate. Let’s talk about the F-150 Lightning at home. Home charging is straightforward with Ford preferred installation provider Sunrun. Extended-range battery customers with an 80 amp Connected Charge Station Pro can get a full charge overnight on AC power with dual on-board chargers. Aside from your home powering your Lighting, your Lighting can actually power your home. The F-150 Lightning, together with a home integration system, can power a house during an outage for three days and in time will be able to offer power back to the grid. At BK Ford, we’re pumped to have a Lightning here and be offering test drives this summer! Are you ready to experience better? Swing by BK to learn more about the Ford F-150 Lightning.

Consider these the go to list for the pickup owner ‘dad who wants nothing.’ more Let’s start with an F-150 truck bed cover!

Add to the great look of dad's F-150 with the clean custom look of a tailgate light bar. Light Bars provide enhanced levels of lighting, especially during low light or bad weather conditions.

Give dad the peak listening experience with a Kicker Audio Upgrade Subwoofer Kit! Upgrade the audio on his F-150 with this audio upgrade subwoofer kit. Co-designed by Kicker, this audio upgrade kit utilizes the custom DSP built into the radio to provide super rich bass. Lastly, an easy, go to gift for dad, are Floor Liners.

We are preparing now to sell and service electric vehicles and provide more advanced mobile repairs. Providing the best service to Central Texas requires our team to be the best. We will do this by continuing to provide a great work environment, world class training, and state of the art equipment and tools. This will allow us to provide the highest levels of service to our customers,” stated Mark. Mission and Charity Our BK mission is twofold. We believe we are called to serve the transportation needs of our community, to help them get work done and make lasting memories with their families, and we are called to give back to this great community and are honored to support many charities and nonprofits in the Waco area.

In 1947 they moved to Franklin Avenue and became one of the first buildings in Waco to offer air conditioning! In 1992, BK moved to its present location on the Motor Mile. The dealership has sold and serviced some of America’s most iconic vehicles. From Ford’s first truck, the Model TT, to the Model A, the launch of the F series in 1948, the 1954 Thunderbird, the iconic 1964 Mustang, the Taurus in 1985 which was the best selling vehicle in America with over 3 million sold, and the Explorer in 1990 which launched the SUV revolution.

Jack Kultgen ran the dealership from the 1930s until the late 1980s.

Claire McDonald, Jack’s great granddaughter, joined the dealership in 2010, and Mark Stewart was adopted into the BK family as an owner in 2021. In Closing Together, Claire and Mark are dedicated to the continued success of the Bird Kultgen dealership by providing simple and easy service for their customers, a great work environment for their employees, and cultivating an even better Bird-Kultgen for the future.

4 Benefits of Buying Your Car From an Official Ford Dealer

Fords are great, reliable vehicles, so it's no wonder you may be considering a Ford as your next car. Of course, the first step to buying a new car is deciding whether to purchase it from a private seller or a dealership. Here's exactly why you'll want to head to your Ford dealer. more 1. There's No Hassle at Your Dealership If you're planning on purchasing your car from a private seller, expect to have to do a lot of work. Not only are you going to have to sift through car listings to find one that works for you, but the car you like might be significantly out of your way to get to. At your dealership, all the vehicles are in one location. It's easy to take a look at all your options and give them a try since they're all in one place. 2. You Get Quality Used Cars Buying a used car can save you some money, which is what makes a used car such a great option for your next vehicle. If you're looking for a used car, you can certainly try looking into private sellers, but there's a lot that can go wrong when you go this route. When you visit a dealership and buy one of their certified pre-owned vehicles, rest assured that these cars have been rigorously checked over and tested to make sure they're still high-quality cars. You can also count on the fact that any repairs the mechanics may have had to do will have been done with original equipment manufacturer parts. 3. You'll Get Advice from the Experts A private seller probably knows the basics of the vehicle they're selling. But any burning questions you have about the manufacturer, or any recommendations you might be looking for will be left hanging. Not so at a dealership! Many of the staff members at your local dealership have worked with this brand of vehicle for years. You can trust that you're getting the best advice when you visit a dealership to buy your vehicle. 4. You'll Get a Warranty Car dealerships want to make sure that you're happy with their products. They want to maintain your trust, which is why they'll offer a warranty when you purchase your vehicle. This warranty will ensure that if something goes wrong, you have the financial support you need to do what needs to be done. You're probably not going to get a warranty when you purchase a vehicle from a private seller. Unfortunately, that means that if the car isn't as high-quality as you were told, or the unexpected happens, it's all up to you to cover the costs. Buying a new car is an exciting experience, but if you want to get your money's worth it's important to go about it the right way. Visiting your dealership will make sure you're getting quality vehicles, expert advice, and financial support. If you're ready to start shopping for your new Ford, visit Bird-Kultgen Ford today!
