When you think of adventure, what comes to mind first? Is it long weekends in the backcountry, just you and your backpack and maybe a friend or two? Do you think of cross-country ventures and exploring new places? Or do you tend to stick a little closer to home, checking out the newest restaurants, clubs and art galleries in the city?

What do you need to “get done,” this summer? Whether it’s towing a parade float for your kid’s little league team in the community parade, towing a trailer to deer camp to scout out the scene for fall hunting, or a camper to the lake for a family weekend, we have a recommendation for you.

The Ford F-150. This pickup truck is an American favorite for good reason. It’s chock full of features and comfort inside to make the ride more pleasant, has a lot of torque and horsepower under the hood, and looks good to boot…

Whether you enjoy traversing the backcountry and sleeping under the stars, or pulling your favorite camper to a new-to-you campsite, a truck comes in very handy. In fact, the Ford F-150 does a stellar job of towing your camper, fishing boat, or other equipment where it needs to go.

Wouldn’t you love to see one of those parked in your driveway, with your camper ready to go? Think of all the fun summer memories you’ll make!

Do you want this to be the summer that you remember? Whether you spend it taking in beautiful sunsets over the lake, heading to the coast for some real waves, or simply enjoying a Sunday drive in the mountains or Saturday night romp in the city, picture yourself in one of these:

Imagine the growl of the motor, the feeling of speed and power as your new Ford Mustang eats up the miles? There’s a reason that this car remains an American classic.

While much of your choice depends on your lifestyle, how long you intend to keep the car, and your current financial obligations, we have created a quick list of the pros of each below.

Was history your favorite class in school? Whether it was or not, we think you’ll enjoy this enlightening “history” lesson by Ford regarding its popular pickup trucks. Here, we’re talking history as in, “this truck makes driving other brands history,” not in the literal sense.

With its military-grade aluminum alloy body, the Ford F-150 stands out and, combined with a specially-designed frame, makes the pickup truck up to 700 pounds lighter than others in its class. The 12,200 pounds of towing power gives drivers of the F-150 the freedom to tow nearly anything needed.
