The History Behind our Love for Trucks

Experience (Valentine’s Day) Better - Four Date Ideas based on your Ford Valentine’s Day is coming up and at BK Ford Waco, we’ve come up with some Central Texas date night ideas based on what you drive, be it a truck, car, or SUV! If you’re not big on dates, you could always swing by the dealership and get an oil change, new tires, or basic vehicle maintenance to surprise that special someone in your life. If you really want to impress them though, your best bet is to just hop online and custom order a new 2022 F-150 Truck. If that sounds like a little overkill for this holiday, here’s some fun central Texas Ford inspired date ideas. more For the Ford F-150 Truck Owner: Obviously, you have to go on a truck picnic! The F-150 bed features LED box lights, an Integrated tailgate step with lift assist, and remote tailgate release. It’s a nice truck bed that can be used for more than work. Grab some takeout (we recommend Union Hall) or a charcuterie board, a bottle of wine, and some blankets and you’ve got yourself a romantic picnic under a Texas sunset. If you’re not able to get to a rural Texas Field, we suggest heading down to the Brazos River and finding a nice spot in the heart of Downtown Waco! For the Ford Bronco Owner: Just like your Bronco, the Drive in Movies are a classic. Take your special someone to the nostalgic last drive-in picture show in Gatesville, Texas! Nothing beats popcorn, candy, and the comfort of your new Bronco. Plus, you’ll be sure to have the coolest truck at the Drive In! This Valentine’s Day, the Last Drive in Picture Show is offering 2 different shows: American Underdog, and Moodfall. For the Ford Mustang Driver: Might we suggest a drive to a local vineyard? A drive out to Valley Mills Vineyard in your Mustang is sure to get your heart pumping. The drive to get there takes you down highway 6 north, over Lake Waco, and through the rolling hills of central Texas. Just outside of Waco, an afternoon of wine, snacks, and great views is a perfect date. For the Ford Expedition Driver: Double date, group date, or take the whole family out! You’ve definitely got the room for it, Ford Expeditions are the perfect family vehicle. If you want to spend Valentine’s day with friends or family, we suggest an outing to Waco’s TopGolf! Can’t beat fellowship and a friendly competition, or a good laugh if someone in your group has never swung a golf club before. No matter how you’re spending your Valentine’s Day, we hope it’s a good one! We’ll be spending the Monday serving our customers, which in our eyes is pretty sweet.

Ford introduced its first Hybrid Truck option in the 2021 Ford F-150 lineup. F-150 Truck lovers can now purchase a hybrid version of their favorite pickup without forfeiting payload or towing capacity. The Ford F-150 Hybrid boasts best in-class horsepower and torque rating, making the purchase of a hybrid truck a realistic and fuel efficient alternative to traditional truck ownership. The Ford F-150 Hybrid pairs a twin-turbocharged V6 engine with an electric motor that contributes 35 KW or 47 horsepower to the drivetrain. The battery is located under the truck, so cargo and passenger space is not sacrificed. All F-150 Crew Cabs are available in a hybrid model. The hybrid option transforms this truck into an onboard generator system that can provide 7.2 kilowatts of electricity to outlets located in the truck bed. Drivers can be sure they are never without electricity or power again! The Ford F-150 Hybrid runs smoothly and boosts the 3.5-liter truck’s EPA fuel efficiency by 20 percent, elevating the truck’s estimated city/highway combined mpg to 25. The F-150 Hybrid also gets an EPA-estimated range of 750 miles on a single fill-up of its 30.6-gallon tank, saving both time and money. F-150 Truck buyers now have more choices than ever before. Owning a hybrid is no longer impossible for people who want a Ford Tough Truck. Come see what we have to offer at Bird-Kultgen Ford in Waco, Tx. Whether you prefer the traditional F-150, the new Hybrid or want to reserve an all-electric Lightning, we can help you find the perfect F-150 for your lifestyle. Now more than ever, there’s a perfect F-150 near you.
