Built Ford Tough

“Built Ford Tough®” isn’t just a slogan — it’s a promise.

At Nelson Ford, we stand behind vehicles that are engineered to work as hard as you do. From the mountains and construction sites of the West Kootenays to the long stretches of BC highway, Ford trucks and SUVs deliver the kind of reliability you can count on every single day.

When you choose Ford, you’re choosing a legacy built on over 100 years of innovation, testing, and craftsmanship. Every bolt, weld, and drive mode is designed to perform when it matters most.

A Heritage of Strength

For generations, Ford has set the standard for what it means to build a tough vehicle. Every model — from the legendary F-150 to the heavy-duty Super Duty® lineup — goes through millions of kilometres of real-world testing before it ever reaches your driveway.

Built Ford Tough® means vehicles are:

  • Tested in extreme conditions: From desert heat to frozen northern roads.
  • Engineered with purpose: High-strength steel frames, military-grade aluminum alloys, and advanced suspension systems.
  • Proven over time: Decades of data, design, and driver feedback built into every generation.

It’s the difference you feel when you start the engine — confidence that your truck was built to last.

Ready for Any Job, Any Journey

Ford trucks are more than machines; they’re partners. Whether you’re hauling lumber, towing a boat, or loading up gear for a weekend adventure, Ford capability makes every task easier and safer

Key features that define Built Ford Tough® capability:

  • Available Pro Power Onboard™ – mobile generator capability wherever work takes you.
  • Selectable Drive Modes – tailor performance for snow, mud, sand, or sport.
  • Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ – towing simplified with precision control.
  • Adaptive Suspension & Trail Control™ – confidence over any terrain

From downtown job sites to mountain passes, Ford delivers strength you can depend on.

Built for Life in BC

Life in the Kootenays demands more from your vehicle — steep climbs, variable weather, and winding roads. Ford trucks are engineered for exactly that, offering balance between power, performance, and fuel efficiency.

When your day includes equal parts work and weekend adventure, you need something that
never quits. That’s why so many BC drivers continue to trust the Ford F-Series, Ranger, and
Bronco to handle it all.
