Ford Coolant Flush Service in Pueblo, CO
Alpine Ford – Ford Coolant Flush Service in Pueblo, CO
When the weather swings from chilly mornings to high-altitude heat, your Ford’s cooling system does the heavy lifting to protect the engine. At Alpine Ford in Pueblo, CO, our certified team performs Ford coolant flush service the right way — using Ford-approved equipment, OEM Motorcraft coolant, and procedures tailored to your VIN. If you drive an F-150, Super Duty, Explorer, Escape, Bronco, Mustang, Transit, or a hybrid/electric Ford with advanced thermal management, our service department is equipped to keep your cooling system running strong.
Coolant does more than prevent overheating. It controls corrosion, maintains proper freeze and boil protection, and helps your climate control perform consistently. Over time, coolant degrades and suspended contaminants can form, which means protection drops off. A professional coolant flush at Alpine Ford restores the system’s performance and helps extend the life of your water pump, radiator, heater core, gaskets, and seals.
Watch for these signs you may need a coolant flush sooner than planned:
- Temperature spikes: An engine temperature gauge that creeps higher than normal — especially going up I-25 or towing — is a red flag.
- Sweet smell or visible leaks: A sweet odor, colored drips, or low coolant warning may indicate a leak and contamination.
- Heater underperformance: Weak cabin heat or fluctuating warmth can signal restricted coolant flow.
- Discolored fluid: Rusty, sludgy, or cloudy coolant means additives are depleted and corrosion may be occurring.
What to expect during an Alpine Ford coolant flush:
- System evaluation: We start with a pressure test, cap check, and a visual inspection of hoses, clamps, and the radiator to identify issues.
- Precision drain and clean: Old coolant and contaminants are removed, and the system is cleaned per Ford procedure without harsh chemicals that can damage seals.
- Vacuum-fill with OEM coolant: We vacuum-fill with the Ford-approved Motorcraft coolant specified for your vehicle to eliminate air pockets and ensure correct mix ratios.
- Verification and road test: We confirm proper operation, recheck levels, and road test so you leave with confidence.
Why choose Alpine Ford for a Ford coolant flush in Pueblo, CO:
- Certified Ford technicians: Our team follows model-specific procedures for gas, hybrid, and EV systems — no guesswork.
- OEM Motorcraft fluids: The correct coolant chemistry matters for corrosion protection and warranty compliance.
- Advanced equipment: Vacuum-fill tools help prevent air pockets that can cause hot spots or heater issues.
- Local know-how: We understand Colorado’s elevation, temperature swings, and towing demands — and service accordingly.
How often should you flush coolant? Many modern Fords have extended-life coolant that can last for years, but intervals vary by model, year, and driving conditions. As a general guide, we recommend inspecting coolant at every service and planning a flush around major mileage milestones or time intervals listed in your owner’s manual. Severe use — towing to the mountains, stop-and-go commutes in summer heat, dusty work sites — can shorten coolant life. Our advisors will check your VIN and provide a clear, personalized schedule.
Ready to schedule? Call our Service team at 719-545-3673 or visit Alpine Ford at 2828 Highway 50 West, Pueblo, CO 81008. We offer convenient hours — Monday through Friday 7:00AM to 6:00PM and Saturday 8:00AM to 5:00PM — and we proudly serve drivers from Pueblo, Canon City, La Junta, and the greater Colorado Springs area.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between a drain-and-fill and a full coolant flush?
A drain-and-fill replaces a portion of the fluid, while a full flush thoroughly removes old coolant and contaminants from the system before refilling with the correct OEM coolant. A flush delivers more complete protection, especially if fluid is discolored or maintenance is overdue.
Will a coolant flush help with overheating or weak heat?
Often, yes. Restoring proper coolant flow and the correct mix ratio can help stabilize engine temperature and improve heater performance. If a thermostat, water pump, or radiator is failing, we will diagnose that and recommend a targeted repair.
Which coolant does my Ford use — and does color matter?
Ford specifies different Motorcraft coolants by model and year. Color alone can be misleading. We look up your VIN and fill only with the approved Motorcraft coolant to meet Ford specs and maintain system protection.
How long does a coolant flush take?
Most services are completed the same day, often within 60 to 90 minutes once in the bay. If we find leaks, a failing thermostat, or worn hoses, we will discuss options and timing before any additional work.
Can I mix coolants or top off with water?
Mixing coolant types can reduce corrosion protection and cause deposits. Topping with plain water dilutes freeze and boil protection. If you are low, stop by — we will inspect for leaks and top off with the correct Motorcraft coolant blend.
Protect your engine for the long road ahead with a Ford-certified coolant flush at Alpine Ford. Our people-first service, OEM fluids, and rigorous process deliver lasting results — and the peace of mind you deserve on every drive.

Power That Works Where You Do — 2024 Ford F-150 Pro Power Onboard for Colorado Springs, CO Drivers
Alpine Ford – Power That Works Where You Do — 2024 Ford F-150 Pro Power Onboard for Colorado Springs, CO Drivers
When a pickup doubles as a mobile generator, your daily work and weekend life change for the better. That’s the promise of the 2024 Ford F-150® with available Pro Power Onboard, a feature that lets you plug tools, gear, and entertainment directly into your truck bed. For homeowners, construction pros, and outdoor enthusiasts across the Front Range, it’s like adding a utility crew to every drive—silent, ready, and right where you are. In this guide, we explore how Pro Power Onboard complements the F-150’s rugged platform and why it’s become a must-have for local crews, DIYers, and families on the move.
Pro Power Onboard integrates neatly with the F-150® bed, offering outlets where you need them and power that scales with your configuration. It’s engineered to deliver stable electricity for common tools and devices, while the truck’s onboard systems help monitor output so your battery and engine stay in the zone. Pair that practicality with the 12-inch touchscreen and smart driver aids, and you have a pickup that doesn’t just get you to the site—it keeps the work day humming. And when the work is done, this same feature flips easily to weekend mode, powering tailgates, trail lights, and campsite comforts without hunting for a wall outlet.
- Worksite essentials: Run saws, compressors, and chargers with the truck parked steps from the task.
- Weekend upgrades: Power speakers, coolers, and lighting for game day or an evening at the lake.
- Emergency readiness: Keep small appliances or devices running during a brief power interruption.
- Campsite convenience: Support e-bikes, air pumps, or cooking gear far from the grid.
Because Pro Power Onboard is integrated, there’s no extra generator to fuel, haul, or secure. And since the outlets are right in the bed, your cords stay clear of the cabin and away from doors and hinges. For crews that set up and tear down often, this cuts minutes from every task and removes the guesswork of finding nearby power. It’s this kind of thoughtful engineering—paired with the F-150’s high-strength steel frame and military-grade aluminum alloy body—that makes the feature more than a party trick. It’s everyday capability, accessible at a moment’s notice.
Many shoppers also ask how Pro Power Onboard plays with the available PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6. The hybrid system adds serious on-board energy, enhancing the balance between propulsion and exportable power. That means your truck can keep tools running without compromising drivability, and you benefit from the hybrid’s low-speed torque and smooth power delivery on the road. Add BlueCruise for compatible-section hands-free highway driving, and you’re set for long days that finish with a relaxed trip home.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can Pro Power Onboard power multiple tools at once?
Yes, within its rated output. The system is designed to run several devices simultaneously as long as their combined draw stays within the truck’s available power capacity. It’s ideal for multitool setups like a saw and a charger running together.
Does using Pro Power Onboard affect driving range?
The system draws energy from the truck. When you’re parked and powering equipment, the engine or hybrid system may cycle to maintain output. Expect a small impact on fuel use during heavy, prolonged tool operation—similar to running a standalone generator.
Is Pro Power Onboard complicated to set up?
No. The outlets are built into the bed, and the interface shows power status on the center screen. You plug in your gear, confirm load levels, and get to work. It’s intuitive even for first-time users.
For drivers weighing Pro Power Onboard against portable generators, consider the total picture: integrated convenience, fewer items to secure, and less time spent setting up. And since the 2024 F-150® is built to tow, haul, and traverse the region’s steep grades, you’re not trading work strength for gadgetry—you’re adding a force multiplier to an already capable truck. From weekday builds to weekend trails, this is the kind of feature that earns its keep immediately.
Ready to see how it fits your life? Alpine Ford is serving Colorado Springs, Canon City, and Castle Rock with hands-on demos and knowledgeable guidance, so you can compare power outputs, trim availability, and bed configurations. Our team will help you tailor an F-150® that powers your projects and your adventures, with the right mix of capability and comfort for the way you work and play.

Alpine Ford – 2025 Ford F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Which Truck Offers the Smarter Bed Power Solution for Colorado Springs, CO Drivers?
When shoppers compare today’s top full-size pickups, one question keeps coming up: which truck gives me more usable power at the bed for tools, lights, and jobsite flexibility? Ford answered that clearly with Pro Power Onboard on the F-150®, an integrated generator system that can provide up to 7.2 kW of exportable power depending on configuration. Chevrolet’s Silverado offers helpful 120-volt outlets, but it doesn’t bring a generator-class output tied into the truck the way Ford does. For weekend renovators, mobile contractors, or tailgate hosts, the difference shows up in how much you can run at once—and how simply you can set it up. Below is a quick guide to what matters when your truck becomes your power hub.
Pro Power Onboard is designed to be seamless. The outlets are where you need them, the system status is visible on the in-cab screen, and your generator comes with you without taking up bed space or requiring extra fuel cans. That’s a big advantage when the day’s list includes cutting, charging, and lighting—all at the same time. Chevy’s setup is useful for plug-in convenience, but it’s limited by outlet capacity; if your projects demand simultaneous high-draw tools, Ford’s built-in solution scales farther without the add-on clutter.
- Output headroom: F-150® can provide generator-level power for high-draw tools; Silverado’s outlets support lighter-duty workloads.
- Setup simplicity: F-150® integrates controls and readouts into the touchscreen; no separate generator to fuel or secure.
- All-day versatility: Power lights, compressors, saws, and chargers together with capacity to spare.
- Space efficiency: No extra equipment occupying your bed or hitch platform.
- Night-work confidence: Combine bed power with available LED lighting to keep going after sunset.
Capacity isn’t just about watts—it’s about workflow. With Pro Power Onboard, you can set up a mini jobsite anywhere, then pack up in minutes. Pair it with the Pro Access Tailgate to reach gear curbside even when a trailer is connected, and you’ll notice the gains in those small, repetitive moments that add up over a day. Silverado’s Multi-Flex Tailgate is a helpful step up and can serve as a laptop surface, but it can’t replicate the swing-gate access that matters on tight streets or crowded lots. If you’re balancing weekend projects with weekday commutes, this is the kind of design difference that saves time without adding bulk.
Beyond the bed, F-150® layers in productivity features that complement its power advantage. The Interior Work Surface turns your cabin into a useful desk, and Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch help you load intelligently. Silverado’s Trailering App is a strong tool for checklists and profiles, and available camera views help with visibility, but it doesn’t offer built-in weight estimation. When you’re deciding between these two, think about what you do most: if you regularly power tools or host game-day setups, Ford’s bed power system is the one you’ll use and appreciate week after week.
Alpine Ford is serving Colorado Springs, Canon City, and Castle Rock with product specialists who can walk you through Pro Power Onboard use cases and set up demonstrations tailored to your projects. Bring your gear list—we’ll show how the F-150® supports it, from outlet placement to on-screen monitoring, and how this system pairs with other practical features for confident daily use.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can Pro Power Onboard run multiple heavy-duty tools at once?
Yes, depending on configuration, Pro Power Onboard can deliver generator-level output with multiple outlets to support saws, compressors, chargers, and lighting simultaneously. We can help you map tool loads to the appropriate setup.
Do I need to refuel a separate generator with the F-150®?
No. Pro Power Onboard is integrated with the truck, so you don’t carry or secure a separate unit. You monitor usage through the in-cab display and can keep your bed clear for materials.
How does Silverado’s bed power compare for DIY projects?
Silverado offers available 120-volt outlets that are convenient for light-duty tools and charging, but it does not provide an integrated, high-output generator system like Pro Power Onboard for sustained, multi-tool workflows.

Alpine Ford – Which G.O.A.T. Modes Does the 2025 Bronco® Sport Offer for Denver, CO Adventures?
If you are eyeing a compact SUV that feels calm on I-25 yet capable on dirt two-tracks up the Front Range, the 2025 Bronco® Sport’s G.O.A.T. Modes — Goes Over Any Type of Terrain — should be on your shortlist. This is the system that reshapes throttle response, transmission mapping, steering feel, and traction control at the twist of a dial. The payoff is confidence that matches the surface under your tires, whether you are creeping through snow in the foothills or putting a wheel into sand and gravel near the reservoir.
Trims differ in the number and focus of modes, but the philosophy stays the same: let you tailor the SUV’s behavior to the moment. On a slick winter morning in Denver, CO, Slippery mode softens inputs and prioritizes grip. Roll into a rutted county road on a clear weekend and Mud/Ruts helps you maintain forward motion without fighting the throttle. Aim at deeper sand or loose gravel and Sand mode allows controlled wheelspin to keep momentum. With each click, you get a setup that better fits the terrain without digging into multiple menus or changing your driving position.
For drivers mapping weekend loops into the high country, Badlands® brings an even bigger upgrade: an advanced twin-clutch rear drive unit. This hardware can send nearly all available rear torque to either wheel, which helps the Bronco® Sport find traction when one wheel is in the air or resting on a loose rock. Pair those mechanical smarts with Trail Control — an off-road, low-speed cruise that modulates throttle and braking on climbs and descents — and you have a compact SUV that lets you focus on line choice instead of micromanaging pedals.
Technology support extends beyond the trail dial. Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology helps on crowded urban stretches and tight trailhead lots, with features like BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, and Auto High-Beam Headlamps. SYNC ties together navigation and audio, while available Connected Navigation can help you plan routes to trailheads that transition from pavement to gravel. Add the USB-powered accessory tray for a clean dash-cam install and four pre-wired hero switches for lights or a winch, and the Bronco® Sport becomes as easy to personalize as it is to drive.
- Normal: Balanced mapping for the daily commute and most paved conditions.
- Slippery: Softer throttle and refined traction control for snow and ice.
- Eco or Sport (by trim): Tunes response toward efficiency or engagement for your priority of the day.
- Mud/Ruts: Helps keep momentum when surfaces are uneven or slick with mud.
- Sand: Allows measured wheelspin to maintain float and forward motion.
One practical tip for first-time owners: test modes on familiar surfaces to feel how the SUV changes before you head off into more complex terrain. The changes are noticeable, and after two or three drives you will know exactly which mode you want the moment conditions change.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need Badlands® to get G.O.A.T. Modes?
No. All Bronco® Sport models include G.O.A.T. Modes. Badlands® adds specialized modes and capability hardware to widen the envelope on rougher, more technical terrain.
How fast can I use Trail Control?
Trail Control is intended for low-speed off-road use. Set your speed within the system’s range on qualified surfaces, and let it handle throttle and braking while you steer and spot your line.
Does Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology help off-road?
Its benefits are strongest on-road, but parking aids and camera views can make tight trailhead maneuvering easier. The real off-road standouts are G.O.A.T. Modes, the twin-clutch rear drive unit on Badlands®, and Trail Control.
Can I add lights or a winch without messy wiring?
Yes. Four pre-wired hero switches simplify powering accessories, and the USB-powered accessory tray helps you keep add-ons like dash cams tidy. This is one reason shoppers appreciate how easy the Bronco® Sport is to personalize.
If you are ready to feel the system at work, schedule a drive that includes a mix of pavement, a bumpy service road, and a safe, low-traction surface to sample Slippery or Mud/Ruts. Alpine Ford can help you choose the right trim and accessories to match your local routes, serving Canon City, Castle Rock, and Denver with guidance that keeps your priorities front and center.

Which 2025 Ford F-150® Towing and Tech Options Are Best for Work and Adventures around Castle Rock, CO?
Alpine Ford – Which 2025 Ford F-150® Towing and Tech Options Are Best for Work and Adventures around Castle Rock, CO?
The 2025 Ford F-150® is more than a strong number on a spec sheet. Yes, the available tow rating of up to 13,500 lbs. is impressive, but it is the way this truck tows and travels that makes the difference for weekend explorers. If your itinerary runs from early trailhead arrivals to late campfire nights, the F-150® blends muscle with intelligent tools so you can spend less time juggling logistics and more time doing what you love.
Start with the basics: towing confidence is built into the frame, suspension, and software. On compatible roadways, available Ford BlueCruise delivers hands-free highway driving support, easing the miles between Castle Rock and your favorite mountain pass. Available Head-Up Display projects essentials into your line of sight so you can keep your eyes on the road. When you arrive, the Pro Access tailgate helps you grab gear quickly, even if your truck is backed close to a fence, while Pro Power Onboard lets you charge devices or run campsite lights without hunting for power.
Choosing the right configuration starts with the gear you bring and the terrain you tackle. If your weekends include dirt roads and rutted switchbacks, consider STX® with the FX4® Package or step up to F-150® TREMOR® for trail-focused hardware. For higher-speed desert runs, Raptor® and Raptor R™ offer extreme off-road setups. Highway-first travelers might favor SuperCrew for cabin space and comfort, along with Ford BlueCruise and the available 14-speaker B&O® Audio System by Bang & Olufsen® for top-tier audio on long drives.
Do not overlook cabin practicality. Flip-and-fold rear seats turn the second row into flexible storage, and the large central display streamlines navigation, camera views, and towing tools. If your crew appreciates playlists and podcasts, the B&O® system brings crisp, full sound that reaches every seat. And when weather rolls in, the F-150®’s advanced driver-assist features and sturdy build help keep things calm.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the 2025 F-150® really handle both towing and trail use on one build?
Yes. If you tow a mid-size camper and also seek moderate off-pavement capability, look at a configuration that balances axle ratios, suspension tuning, and tire choice. STX® with the FX4® Package or F-150® TREMOR® are great middle-ground options, and both work well with available towing technologies for hitching and hauling.
Is Ford BlueCruise worth it for weekend travelers?
If you spend a lot of time on compatible highways, the available hands-free driving support helps reduce fatigue and keeps long drives more relaxed. Pair it with the available Head-Up Display to keep key info visible without taking your eyes off the road.
What cabin features make the biggest difference for adventures?
Flip-and-fold rear seats for flexible storage, the available 14-speaker B&O® Audio System by Bang & Olufsen® for great sound, and multiple charging points are top quality-of-life upgrades. If you work or organize gear from the truck, bed lighting and the Pro Access tailgate are everyday time savers.
How should I think about colors and durability?
Choose the look you love—Agate Black Metallic, Antimatter Blue Metallic, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Rapid Red Metallic, Star White Metallic, and more—then pair it with protective accessories like bedliners and splash guards to keep your truck looking sharp after trail days.
If you would like a personalized configuration plan, we are happy to walk through trims, axle ratios, and towing tech. Alpine Ford is serving Canon City, Castle Rock, and Denver with straightforward guidance, build support, and test drives that mirror your real-world routes. We will help you prioritize the exact mix of towing tools, comfort features, and off-road capability that fits your weekend adventures.

Is the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport or Jeep Compass Better for Winter Trails and Daily Driving around Colorado Springs, CO?
Alpine Ford – Is the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport or Jeep Compass Better for Winter Trails and Daily Driving around Colorado Springs, CO?
When winter weather and weekend escapes define your calendar, two compact SUVs tend to rise to the top of the shortlist: the Bronco® Sport and the Jeep® Compass. Drivers around Colorado Springs, CO want confident traction on snow-packed commutes, predictable control on rutted access roads, and a cabin that adapts to boots, skis, and hydration packs without drama. This guide answers a common shopper question—Which SUV is better for winter trails and daily driving?—by focusing on the driveline engineering, trail tech, and everyday usability details that matter most in Colorado’s Front Range.
Start with traction. The Bronco® Sport’s available twin-clutch rear drive unit with a rear differential lock function in Badlands® can direct torque side-to-side across the rear axle to maintain momentum when a tire unloads over washboard, ice, or a diagonal rut. Its G.O.A.T. Modes let you tailor throttle mapping, shift logic, and traction control for snow, mud, sand, or rock, and available Trail Control works like low-speed cruise control off-pavement—especially handy for long descents on slick grades where left-foot braking gets tiring. Jeep® Compass brings strong fundamentals, including standard 4×4, Selec-Terrain drive modes, skid plates on Trailhawk®, and all-terrain tires that bite into fresh powder. Where the Ford differentiates itself is in how its torque-vectoring rear axle, mode logic, and off-road cruise control integrate seamlessly. The result is a calmer steering wheel and less scramble at the throttle when surfaces change mid-corner or mid-climb.
Now consider power and towing. The Bronco® Sport offers an available 2.0L EcoBoost turbo with 250 hp and up to 2,200 lb of towing—useful for small trailers, sleds, or a pair of snowmobiles on a lightweight hauler. The Compass’s 2.0L turbo delivers 200 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque with up to 2,000 lb towing. Both figures are solid, but the Ford’s additional headroom shows up on passes and at on-ramps where altitude and load conspire to blunt acceleration. For winter traction specifically, the Ford’s driveline also smooths out power delivery at low speeds, which can mean less wheelspin and more forward progress on packed snow.
Daily life matters, too. The Bronco® Sport’s upright greenhouse improves sightlines in tight neighborhoods and trailhead lots, and the safari-style roof creates vertical cargo room for coolers and tall bins. The cabin adds smart touches for gear—pre-wired Hero Switches to power accessories, a USB-powered accessory tray for dash cams or nav screens, and easy-to-clean cargo surfaces. Compass counters with a sleek interior, available leatherette seats with blue stitching, and a wealth of active safety tech, including available Active Driving Assist System. Both SUVs offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and driver-assist suites that reduce fatigue on I-25 or Highway 24. If your weekends include switching from skis to microspikes to camp stoves, the Ford’s organization-friendly cabin can feel like a welcome edge.
If you’re choosing between these two for life along the Front Range, the decision often comes down to whether you want the extra layer of off-road-oriented tech and power. The Bronco® Sport’s torque-vectoring rear axle, Trail Control, and available 250-hp engine add a dimension of calm and capability when winter turns unpredictable. That confidence carries into spring mud and summer gravel, which is why so many outdoor-focused drivers lean Ford in this comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Does the Bronco® Sport’s Trail Control help in winter?
Yes. On icy or rutted descents, Trail Control maintains a set low speed and individually modulates brakes to keep the SUV settled, reducing fatigue and helping you focus on steering around obstacles.
How do the two SUVs compare for towing small trailers in cold weather?
The Bronco® Sport’s available 2.0L EcoBoost offers up to 2,200 lb of towing, providing more headroom for cargo and altitude. Compass maxes at 2,000 lb, which is capable for lighter setups but offers less margin when roads and temps work against you.
Which is easier to outfit with lights or a winch?
The Bronco® Sport makes adding accessories simple with four pre-wired Hero Switches and an accessory tray for powering and mounting electronics, plus available factory Off-Road Packages that include a Brush Guard and steel plated bumpers.
For a hands-on walk-through, Alpine Ford is serving Colorado Springs, Canon City, and Castle Rock with product specialists who can help you map features to your winter driving needs and weekend plans. Bring your gear checklist, and we’ll help you build the right configuration for the season ahead.

Alpine Ford – Workday to Weekend Power Around Denver, CO with the 2024 Ford F-150® Pro Power Onboard
Ask hardworking drivers around Denver, CO what transforms a pickup into a do-it-all tool, and you’ll hear one answer on repeat: onboard power. The F-150® brings serious energy to the job and campsite with available Pro Power Onboard, turning your truck into a mobile generator for saws, compressors, tailgate TVs, and more. Pair it with the available PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 and you unlock even more sustained capability for demanding tasks without lugging a separate generator.
This guide breaks down what Pro Power Onboard does, how to choose the right output for your lifestyle, and which F-150® configurations streamline setup. We’ll also cover a few trailering and tech extras — from camera views to BlueCruise — that help your workday move faster and your weekends run smoother.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Pro Power Onboard and how does it work?
Pro Power Onboard is an available factory-integrated power system that turns the F-150® into a rolling generator using the truck’s engine or hybrid system, delivering outlets in the bed so you can run tools and gear without separate equipment.
Which outputs are offered and who should choose which?
Depending on configuration, Pro Power Onboard is available in multiple output levels, including higher-capacity options when paired with the available PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6. Light DIY users may favor lower output, while contractors and tailgaters often prefer higher capacity for continuous power demands.
Does Pro Power Onboard replace a jobsite generator?
For many tasks, yes — especially when you need flexible, on-demand power without hauling extra gear. For heavy industrial use, some crews still keep a dedicated generator as a backup, but the F-150® system handles most daily needs with ease.
What towing and tech features complement onboard power?
Available trailering assistance, an available 12-inch touchscreen, and available camera systems support confident hitching and maneuvering. Add Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology and available BlueCruise for an advanced driver-assist suite that helps reduce fatigue on long highway stretches.
Choosing your configuration is about matching your daily rhythm to the truck’s strengths. Consider the following decision points when spec’ing your F-150® for power-on-the-go and seamless towing.
- Power source: PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 supports higher-capacity outputs and extended runtime, ideal for tools or campsite power.
- Bed outlets: Check the bed layout for outlet placement so cords reach your workstation or tailgate setup cleanly.
- Towing tech: Leverage available integrated trailer brake controller and camera views to streamline hook-ups and tight backing maneuvers.
- Highway help: Available BlueCruise offers hands-free highway driving on pre-qualified divided highways to ease long drives.
- Audio and screens: The available B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® and 12-inch display make work breaks and camp nights feel premium.
For trailering, remember that power and payload planning go hand in hand. The F-150® offers class-leading available tow ratings up to 13,500 lbs. when properly configured, and impressive available payloads up to 2,445 lbs., so you can pair your generator-capable truck with a cargo and equipment plan that stays balanced and within ratings. That way, your power solution never becomes a bottleneck to your schedule.
If you frequently move between jobsites and remote properties, the hybrid pairing is a standout. The available PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 doesn’t just add muscle; it enables smart energy use so your truck keeps powering tools while you review plans in the cab, enjoy the available heated seats, or unwind to your favorite playlist through the available B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen®. And when the weekend arrives, those same outlets turn into an instant tailgate or campsite hub.
Ready to build a truck that doubles as your go-anywhere power solution? Alpine Ford is serving Canon City, Castle Rock, and Denver with configurations that align build, output, towing, and tech to your day-to-day. Bring a list of tools or camping accessories you want to run — our team can help translate that into the right Pro Power Onboard setup and trim pairing so you get exactly what you need without overbuilding.

Which 2024 F-150 LARIAT® Features Make Everyday Driving More Satisfying around Pueblo, CO?
*Not actual model
Alpine Ford – Which 2024 F-150 LARIAT® Features Make Everyday Driving More Satisfying around Pueblo, CO?
For many shoppers, the sweet spot in the F-150® family is the LARIAT®—a trim that layers premium comfort and cutting-edge technology onto the backbone of a hardworking full-size truck. If you spend your weekdays juggling projects and your weekends hauling toys, LARIAT has the flexibility you want, with the quiet, refined road manners you might not expect in a truck this capable.
Start with the core tech experience. A standard 12-inch touchscreen running SYNC 4 puts navigation, audio, and smartphone integration in crisp, easy reach, while the available digital instrument cluster lets you customize key data like towing info, off-road status, or turn-by-turn directions right in your sightline. Add the B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® for concert-grade clarity and make long drives feel shorter. Ford Co-Pilot360 offers advanced driver-assist technologies, and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving on compatible routes reduces stress on busy corridors. It is a setup that makes commutes smoother, weekend trips easier, and road-tripping more enjoyable.
Powertrain options are equally thoughtful. Choose the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 for compelling torque and towing confidence, the legendary 5.0L V8 for a classic feel with modern muscle, or the PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 for impressive torque and onboard energy. That last option pairs beautifully with Pro Power Onboard, turning the truck into a mobile generator—ideal for tools during a remodel or powering a campsite.

Alpine Ford – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Ford F-150
Your Ford® F-150® is built to work hard, and a smart maintenance plan keeps it ready for every mile. Our factory-trained team supports daily drivers, weekend towers, and fleet owners alike, serving in Pueblo, CO, Colorado Springs, and Canon City. Because intervals vary by model year, engine, and usage, always refer to your Owner’s Manual and Ford maintenance schedule, then lean on our advisors to tailor the plan to how and where you drive. Use this general guide as a quick reference, and remember that severe use like frequent towing, dusty roads, or extended idling often calls for shorter intervals. When you visit us, we check for open recalls, apply service bulletins as applicable, and document everything so your F-150’s history stays clear and organized. Below is a streamlined maintenance roadmap most owners can use to stay ahead of wear, protect resale value, and keep vital systems performing as designed.
- Monthly quick check: Inspect tire pressure and tread, lights, wipers, and all fluids; listen for new noises and address warning lights promptly.
- Every 5,000-7,500 miles or 6 months: Change engine oil and filter, rotate tires, inspect brakes and suspension, top off fluids, and complete a Multi-Point Inspection.
- Every 15,000 miles or 12 months: Replace cabin air filter, inspect pads and rotors, check steering and hoses, balance tires, and test the battery and charging system.
- Every 30,000 miles or 24 months: Replace engine air filter, test coolant condition, evaluate brake fluid, inspect spark plugs on select engines, and clean throttle body as needed.
- Every 60,000 miles or 72 months: Inspect and service 4×4 transfer case and differentials per manual, evaluate transmission fluid service needs, replace coolant as specified, and assess shocks/struts and alignment.
- 100,000-120,000 miles: Replace spark plugs if not done earlier, exchange coolant as required, inspect drive belts and hoses, and service transmission and axle fluids as your manual indicates.
- Severe duty adjustments: Shorten oil changes to about 5,000 miles, rotate tires at every oil service, and increase inspection frequency for brakes, transmission, and driveline fluids.
At Alpine Ford, our certified technicians use Ford diagnostic tools and Genuine Ford Parts to help you follow the right plan for your truck. We provide transparent, color-coded inspection reports, tire and brake measurements, software updates for SYNC, and calibration checks for driver-assist features like Ford Co-Pilot360, all aligned with Ford guidance. Need convenience? We can help you schedule ahead, set reminders, and group maintenance items to minimize downtime. Intervals can differ by model year, powertrain, and driving profile—always follow your Owner’s Manual and contact the manufacturer or our service team for details. If you have questions about your specific F-150, towing usage, or warranty requirements, our advisors are here to help you build the perfect maintenance roadmap.
