Exploring the Features of the New Ford F150
Versatility and Power
The new Ford F-150, seating up to six, is a top seller in the light-duty pickup category. Its array of powertrain configurations enhances towing and hauling capabilities, making it an ideal choice for both daily driving and light-duty work tasks. The F-150 stands out with its multiple cab and bed configurations and customizable tech, safety, and performance packages. Notably, it is also available in hybrid and electric models, like the F-150 Lightning.
Trim Options and Off-Road Capability
With eight trims, the F-150 is a familiar sight on roads and worksites. The range includes the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, Tremor, and Raptor. The Tremor and Raptor, specially designed for off-road, feature large tires, long-travel suspension, and off-road shocks, with the Tremor adding neutral towing capability.
Powertrain Options and Performance
Each F-150 trim boasts unique features, including specific badging and powertrain choices. The engine lineup includes four high-horsepower V6 engines and a 400-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 in the King Ranch. All engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth acceleration and adaptable drive modes for various conditions.
Utility Features and Onboard Power
The new Ford F-150’s exterior showcases its power and utility, with large LED headlamps, high ground clearance, and a spacious bed. It also offers onboard power outlets in the cab and bed, acting as a mobile generator. The SYNC infotainment system and FordPass app allow for monitoring of power usage.
Innovative Interior Design
The F-150’s interior is equally impressive. The gear shift can be stowed away to convert the center console into a work desk. The rear seats flip and fold for easy gear management, and lockable under-seat storage provides security during travels.
Advanced Safety Features
Ford’s Co-Pilot 360, standard in most post-2020 models, includes pre-collision assist, lane-keeping, blind-spot information, auto high beams, and adaptive cruise control. These features enhance safety and driver awareness on the road.

There are lots of benefits to buying a used vehicle. Many of our customers tell us they’re feeling the squeeze of the rising cost of living. Others prefer the value a pre-owned model can offer. At Orchid Isle Auto Center Hilo, we’re proud to carry a well-stocked used inventory to suit our clients’ budgets and driving needs. Here are just a few reasons you may want to consider shopping for a used vehicle.
Savings
You can save significant money on the cost of a used vehicle over a brand-new one. Much of the depreciation has already occurred, so you’ll pay less and get a great value on a vehicle you can expect to drive for years. Consumers will also save on taxes, titles, and fees. Plus, used vehicles are often less to insure because your vehicle’s retail value heavily influences insurance rates.
Affordability
Lower-priced inventory allows you to afford more bang for your buck. You may not be able to comfortably swing the current year’s model of your favorite vehicle, but one just a few years old may fit your budget. In addition, our clients are often excited to learn that buying used lets them have more tech, safety, performance, and capability features than they could afford new.
Choice
Finally, opting for used models opens up a world of choices about style, features, colors, and more. That’s because you’re not limited to only the current year’s offerings.
Shop Our Used Inventory at Orchid Isle Auto Center Hilo
We’d love for you to visit us at Orchid Isle Auto Center Hilo to see our entire used lineup and test drive the ones that tick your boxes. We carry used Ford models like the Mustang, Escape, Explorer, and F-150. You’ll also find an assortment of models from other popular manufacturers. Stop in any time during our convenient business hours, and a member of our sales staff will be waiting to assist you.
The Ford F-150 Raptor – A Natural Predator
Here at Orchid Isle Auto Center, we know why the Ford-150 Raptor is the hottest selling pickup on the road. The new Raptor has replaced parts previously made of steel with lightweight, military-grade aluminum-alloy, making it almost 500 lbs. lighter. Going off-road has never been simpler, or easier, than with the Raptor’s Terrain Management System with Trail Control.
Trail Control acts as off-road cruise control, helping to monitor and adjust both speed and braking. The Terrain Management System can be preset to a number of different terrain modes including Normal, Sport, Wet/Snow, Mud/Sand, Baja, and Rock Crawl. Power distribution is handled automatically by an onboard computer, leaving you free to enjoy the drive.
The available Beadlock tires means that the tires are clamped to the wheels, allowing you to reduce air pressure for greater traction without the tire popping loose. FOX Live Value Shocks enhance the off-road performance by automatically adjusting for both the terrain and your style of driving.
Gear Up for Adventure in a New FordFord Flex: Comfort for the Entire Family
Whether you’re going across town or across the country, the vehicle you’re driving needs to be comfortable. It’s not enough for the driver to have ergonomic seating, though. Everyone in your SUV should have the same riding experience.
With the Ford Flex, you can comfortably transport six passengers. There’s plenty of room for adults or children. Your passengers will experience the comfort of the Ford Flex before they even sit in their seats. The low clearance makes it easy for drivers as well as children to get into the vehicle.
Unlike larger SUV models that require people to climb into them, the Ford Flex is designed to make the experience comfortable from beginning to end. At Orchid Isle Auto Center, we strive to match each of our valued customers with the vehicle that best meets the needs of the driver and their family. If you have a large family, the Ford Flex may be the perfect choice for you.

Black bezel tail lamps, glossy black upper grilles with chrome inserts, ebony black painted aluminum wheels, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and sporty leather-trimmed seats are just a few of the sporty packages offered with the Ford Escape.

Discover Our Range of New Ford Cars for SaleHeavy-duty pickup trucks are popular because they provide drivers with numerous benefits. If you want a new heavy-duty pickup truck, we recommend the Ford Super Duty. It is a popular model at Orchid Isle Auto Center because it offers advanced power features that you can read about below.
The Super Duty offers Adaptive Cruise Control with Collision Warning. When the traffic ahead slows, this feature can slow the speed of the truck, and it will resume the preset speed once traffic has picked up. With Collision Warning, drivers are warned when a potential collision is detected. This feature is also integrated with the trailer brake controller for optimal control when you’re towing.
The 6.2L Flex-Fuel gas-powered V8 engine powers the Super Duty. This engine can reach 430 lb.-ft. of torque and is coupled with the Ford TorqShift G 6-speed automatic transmission. For additional power, you can choose the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel engine. This engine delivers 450 horsepower, which is best-in-class.
Explore New Ford ModelsFord C-Max Smart Features Keep You Connected
Is navigation faster on the SYNC 3 system than the other SYNC systems? Considering the years and years that drivers stopped at service stations to ask directions, the new onboard navigation systems are more than just an attractive option for any vehicle. With navigation systems, the diver can observe directions, and the latest models allow drivers to see their progress along the way.
One of the first drawbacks that created frustration with navigation systems was the time it took to type in the destination. On the SYNC 1 and SYNC 2 systems, the screen required at least a 30-second wait between letter inputs. Getting directions, even to destinations within our city, took time away from the fun toward which you were driving.
The SYNC 3 system answers the input quickly and finds the destination and the best route efficiently using current updates. At Orchid Isle Auto Center, we install and maintain the SYNC 3 system.

The Ranger has features that give fans even more to love. The low-angled windshield channels air over the roof efficiently and helps to reduce wind noise. The wide grille opening also functions to make the truck more aerodynamic as well.
Ford was generous when it comes to technology. The Ranger has the latest in driver-assist technology and connectivity. You and your passengers can enjoy a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that can allow up to 10 connections at once. Lane-keeping assist will give you a warning if you drift out of lane. It will also remind you that it might be time for a break if you drift out of lane too many times in succession. Ford made the new Ranger destined to remain a favorite.
