Ford Dealer Serving Bakersfield Welcomes 2012 F-150

Dec. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Visalia Ford serving Bakersfield Ford shoppers is thrilled to welcome the 2012 Ford F-150 truck to their dealership.   Bakersfield Ford shoppers can expect more of what they love from the new 2012 F series including advanced technologies and driveline upgrades.

New for 2012 is the addition of the FX package. The new FX appearance package is available on both FX4 and FX2 trucks and delivers a unique look with stealthy, flat-black accents. The look is set off with black fender and tailgate badges that feature red lettering, which is carried into the interior with a red-stitched steering wheel.

The FX's interior also features black leather seating surfaces with red perforations and red piping. Unique interior touches include black-painted dash accents, brushed-metal surfaces, and satin shifter knob, door handles and air conditioning vent bezels. The package is available with all FX colors. Also new for 2012, the FX luxury package now offers cooled front seats, which combine with the previously available heated seats.

Bakersfield Ford shoppers will appreciate a very important feature added to the 2012 model, Hill Start Assist.  This feature helps keep the truck from rolling backward at a stop, making it easier to pull away when on a slope or hill, especially when towing. With the brake pedal pressed, if sensors detect the vehicle is on a slope, the system is automatically activated. Brake pressure is held in the braking system, and the truck remains stationary on the slope for up to two seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal.

All of the changes for 2012 complement a powertrain lineup that debuted in 2011. The powertrain lineup delivers a mix of best-in-class horsepower, torque, capability and fuel economy. Each new engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Ford is the first and only manufacturer to equip its entire full-size pickup truck lineup with fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmissions as standard.

Bakersfield Ford shoppers can learn more about the new 2012 Ford F-150 by calling Visalia Ford 559-625-1000 or by visiting the dealership at 1300 E. Mineral King Ave, Visalia.
