Ford has the Right Trucks for Evansville Drivers

In a perfect world, getting the right truck with everything you need would be simple: you’d walk up to a dealership, say, “One truck please!” and the ideal pickup with all of the options you need would just pop out. That would be great, but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), things aren’t quite that simple. Still, as your Evansville, IN, Ford dealer, we do everything we can to make it incredibly easy and rewarding to get the right truck – in large part, that’s thanks to the fact that Ford’s lineup of pickups is the best in the industry.

No matter what you’re looking for in your next truck, Ford has you covered. Not only is the F-150 the best-selling truck in America for the last 40 years, but Ford now has more options than ever before to ensure they can get you exactly what you need. With amazing new models like the all-electric F-150 Lightning and the compact Ford Maverick, we know that we can help you find the perfect pickup. And if you’re looking to hit the trail, then Ford has you covered with the Tremor Off-Road package and the amazing F-150 Raptor.

We Understand Evansville Drivers

We know what you might be thinking, “Kate Faupel Ford, you’re not in Evansville; how can you know what I need in a truck?” That’s a fair question; after all, we’re not even located in Indiana – we’re in Henderson, Kentucky. That being said, we’re just across the Ohio River, and we’re only about a 12-minute drive from Evansville, so while we might not be in the city proper, we certainly consider you one of our neighbors. We’re also not some huge, faceless dealership that popped up in the area and is looking to grind through consumers as fast as possible.

While we’ve only been operating as Kate Faupel Ford for a few years now, our location has been serving this area for more than 50 years. That’s a legacy that we take very seriously, and we pride ourselves on offering personalized customer service that addresses your specific needs. We know what it means to live, work, and play in this area, so we’re able to understand what you need, whether you’re coming to us from Evansville or you live here in Henderson. We’ve all been to games at Bosse Field, hiked trails around Angel Mounds, and we shop at Eastland Mall; when you come to visit us, you know that you’re working with someone who understands your needs and who can help you find the right pickup.

A Maverick Emerges

One of the things we’ve always loved about the Ford lineup is the variety it offers – no matter what you’re looking for in a truck, you can find it here. This is truer now than ever before, thanks to the exciting ways that this lineup has grown with great new models like the Ford Maverick. This is Ford’s first compact truck in years, offering a fantastic option if you want the performance and functionality of a pickup, but you don’t need something too big.

Despite its small size, the Ford Maverick still has spacious seating inside for up to five passengers in a comfortable and technologically advanced cabin. The Maverick Lariat features a 6.5-inch LCD instrument cluster screen, along with an 8-inch infotainment display standard on every model. You can even get a stunning, 8-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system that packs incredible audio into the Maverick’s cabin.

In terms of power, a couple of different engines are available: the Maverick starts with a standard 2.5L full hybrid engine that ensures terrific fuel economy and bold performance. If you need more power, there’s a 2.0L EcoBoost engine that delivers 250 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque, giving you up to 4,000 lbs of towing capacity. You can tell we’re excited about this new truck, and we can’t wait to show it to all of our customers looking for a smaller pickup.

Ford, Indiana Ranger

Ford’s previous compact truck, the Ranger, grew up and turned into one of the most impressive and popular midsize pickups on the road. The Ford Ranger is an amazing option if you want something smaller than the full-size F-150, but you have room enough for a midsize truck in your life. Despite its midsize stature, the Ranger offers up to 7,500 lbs of towing capacity, thanks to a 2.3L EcoBoost engine with 270 hp and best-in-class gas torque of 310 lb-ft.

If you like to go camping and do some off-roading, then the Ford Ranger is an amazing choice, particularly with the available Tremor Off-Road package. This package includes a modified heavy-duty off-road suspension, impressive front and rear tow hooks, and Trail Control with Ford’s Terrain Management System. With this system, you can choose from multiple drive modes, including Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, and Sand. Trail Control is like cruise control for going off-road, letting you set a speed, and the Ranger will maintain it while you focus on maneuvering across difficult terrain.

America’s Favorite Truck

Of course, we can’t talk about Ford trucks and not mention the F-150, the bestselling truck in America for more than 40 years. That’s something that has to be earned; year after year, Ford keeps innovating and improving to ensure that the F-150 remains the most impressive truck in the country. The modern F-150 is an absolute beast, with best-in-class available towing and payload: up to 14,000 lbs of towing capacity and up to 3,325 lbs of payload. Best of all, there are some options and designs for the F-150 that take things to the next level, whether you’re looking for an electric model or you really want to conquer the trail.

Lightning Strikes

The all-new, all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning is one of the most impressive and innovative trucks we’ve ever seen. If you’re even remotely interested in the idea of an EV pickup, then this is the one to check out. While commutes here in Evansville certainly aren’t the longest – well below the national average, in fact – that doesn’t mean that trips to the fuel pump don’t eventually add up. The electric F-150 Lightning leaves the gas station behind.

With an estimated range of up to 300 miles from a full charge and simple charging at home or on the road with support for standard and DC Fast Charging, this is a truck that’s easy to own and use. It comes with standard 4×4 thanks to an electric motor on each axle, with impressive power that can handle up to 10,000 lbs of towing. The Lightning offers more than 560 hp and 775 lb-ft of instant torque that lets it go from 0 to 60 in about 4 seconds for a truly exhilarating ride.

Raptor Attack!

If you’re more into hitting the trail and going camping, then the Ford F-150 Raptor is the model you should check out. While the Ranger is a terrific option for going off-road in a midsize truck, the F-150 Raptor is the pinnacle trail experience in a pickup. It features a five-link independent rear suspension with extra-long trailing arms to provide great articulation on even the roughest terrain, along with 24-inch coil springs that can handle anything the trail throws at you. Sport-tuned shock absorbers, including next-generation FOX Live Valve shocks on the front and rear, offer position-sensitive damping that reacts quickly to changes in terrain.

Best of all, the Raptor’s 3.5L EcoBoost High-Output V6 engine is a twin-turbo that puts most other trucks to shame, giving you 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. Available 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels wrapped in 37-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires provide more than 13 inches of ground clearance, with a 33.1-degree approach angle, 24.9-degree departure angle, and 24.4-degree breakover angle. It all comes together to make a truck that you can take absolutely anywhere, including the 100 miles of trails around Interlake State Recreation Area.
