In addition to the regular new Ford vehicles that we provide here at McFarland Ford, we also supply many businesses throughout Exeter, New Hampshire, with work trucks and other commercial vehicles. We have a wide variety of such vehicles available here at our dealership, which you can see right here on our online inventory. One type of business that has need of our work trucks are the many landscaping companies found throughout the city and the surrounding areas. Today we thought we’d help out those of you still looking to find the best choice of work truck for your landscaping company by diving into exactly why the right answer is the Ford F-250.

A landscaping company’s biggest need from a work truck is capability. That means impressive towing and payload, and the Ford F-250 delivers that in spades. For this blog we’re going to use the 2024 model year as our example, so where we get specific with numbers be sure to keep in mind that newer or older trucks might be a little different. With a maximum payload ranging from 3,217 to 4,303 pounds depending on which trim level, engine and so on you choose, you’ll be able to cart around all the manual tools and supplies you need right in your truck bed.

Then to make things even better, you can attach a trailer to the back to cart along whatever heavy machinery you need to bring with you, such as your different types of lawn mowers. Once again depending on the configuration you choose, your 2024 Ford F-250 will be able to haul anywhere from 13,800 to 22,000 lbs. along with you. That should be plenty if not more than enough to accommodate all of your landscaping needs.

This is all made possible thanks to the various powertrains that can be found beneath the hood of your F-250. The most powerful of these engines happens to deliver best-in-class power outputs, both for horsepower and torque. This is the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 engine, which is capable of generating up to 500 horsepower alongside an astounding 1,200 pound-feet of torque.

When you are a part of a business, and especially if you’re the one running the business, connectivity is key. Employees need to stay in touch with their boss(es), while the boss needs to keep their eye on all things related to the business. That’s why the various offerings from Ford Pro Fleet Management are so crucial, and another huge reason why the Ford F-250 is the perfect truck for your landscaping company.

Things like FordPass Connect, which offers a Wi-Fi Hotspot you can utilize no matter where you are, or Pro Power Onboard, which offers a mobile power supply so you can recharge your tools on the go, are incredibly powerful tools to add to your arsenal and will make your business flow smoother. Employees can keep an eye on other assignments while they’re out in the field, take care of billing needs and so on thanks to these great features. And these are just two of the many options available to you with Ford Pro Fleet Management.
