At Twin Pine Ford, we know that contractors in Lancaster County need trucks they can count on. Whether you're hauling materials to a job site in Ephrata or towing equipment across Lancaster County, you need a pickup that delivers power, durability and efficiency. That's why so many local builders, landscapers and tradespeople turn to Ford's lineup of work-ready trucks. The Ford F-150 has long been the best-selling truck in America, and it's easy to see why. For contractors who need a versatile half-ton pickup, a used F-150 offers a mix of towing capability and everyday drivability. Look for models equipped with the available 3.5L EcoBoost engine for up to 13,500 pounds of towing—perfect for hauling trailers loaded with tools or supplies. High-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body panels keep weight down and corrosion resistance high, so your truck stays in great shape through years of Pennsylvania winters. For heavier duty needs, a pre-owned Ford Super Duty (F-250 or F-350) is ideal. These three-quarter and one-ton trucks feature fully boxed steel frames and available Power Stroke turbo-diesel engines that produce massive torque. Contractors who haul heavy machinery or dump trailers will appreciate the 20,000+ pound gooseneck towing capability. Interior comforts like available heated seats and Ford’s SYNC infotainment system make long days on Route 222 or I-76 more enjoyable. No matter which Ford truck fits your business, buying used makes smart financial sense. Late-model pre-owned trucks from Twin Pine Ford undergo a rigorous multipoint inspection and reconditioning process, so you get dependable transportation without the new-truck price tag. We also offer commercial financing and extended service plans to protect your investment. Ready to upgrade your work fleet?

In 2025, the U.S. auto market is witnessing a shift toward hybrids. After years of modest growth, hybrids and plug‑in hybrids now account for about 12 percent of all new vehicles sold, and when plug‑in hybrids are included the share climbs to about 14 percent. Ford is at the forefront of this trend. In the first half of 2025, the company delivered a record 156,059 electrified vehicles, and its hybrid sales jumped 27 percent to over 117,000 units. The Maverick Hybrid and F‑150 Hybrid are driving much of this demand. Why Hybrids Are Outpacing EVs Hybrids offer a compelling balance between electric efficiency and the convenience of a gasoline engine. They save drivers money on fuel without requiring access to charging infrastructure, and many models are more affordable than comparable EVs. This flexibility explains why hybrid sales are growing faster than pure EV sales. Ford’s EV sales slipped 31 percent in Q2 2025, and overall EV deliveries fell 11.8 percent year‑to‑date. Meanwhile, hybrids like the Maverick and F‑150 are setting sales records. Time‑Sensitive EV Incentives If you’re still interested in going fully electric, act soon. Federal tax credits of up to $7,500 for qualifying EVs (and $4,000 for used EVs) are scheduled to expire on September 30, 2025. Pennsylvania also offers an Alternative Fuel Vehicle Rebate worth up to $1,500 for plug‑in hybrids and EVs, but funding is limited and may run out before next summer. At Twin Pine Ford, we include all available incentives in our EV pricing to make shopping easier—call us to confirm eligibility. What This Means for Drivers in Ephrata, Lancaster and Reading For Pennsylvania drivers, hybrids and EVs each offer unique benefits: Hybrids: ideal for long commutes and rural travel. You get excellent fuel economy and the ability to refuel quickly on road trips. The Maverick Hybrid and F‑150 Hybrid provide pickup capability and up to 500 miles of driving range. EVs: best for urban and suburban drivers who can charge at home. The Mustang Mach‑E and F‑150 Lightning deliver instant torque and zero tailpipe emissions, and you can still qualify for the expiring federal tax credit. Plug‑in hybrids: a middle ground. Models like the Escape Plug‑in Hybrid allow you to drive electric for short trips but have a gas engine for longer journeys. Advice From Twin Pine Ford Shop early: Inventory for popular hybrids and EVs is limited. Ford’s EV production faced a recall and model‑year changeover in mid‑2025, which restricted supply. Take advantage of incentives: Contact our finance team to lock in the federal EV tax credit before September 30 and check eligibility for Pennsylvania’s rebate program. Compare ownership costs: Hybrid models require fewer charging stops and often cost less up front. EVs can save more over the long term if you have consistent access to charging. Final Thoughts Whether you choose a hybrid or a full EV, Twin Pine Ford is here to help. Our team proudly serves Ephrata, Lancaster and Reading, offering transparent pricing that includes all available incentives. Visit us or call today to explore our lineup of Maverick Hybrid, F‑150 Hybrid, F‑150 Lightning and Mustang Mach‑E models. Don’t miss out on the expiring EV tax credits and the opportunity to drive a more efficient future!

Ford enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting news of the next high‑performance Mustang, and recent spy photos suggest that not one but two S650 prototypes Sources indicate that neither car will carry the Shelby name; instead, Ford has filed trademarks for Boss and Dark Horse Boss, suggesting a new branding strategy. A UAW document has also hinted at a 2026 Shelby GT500 built with a Legend engine, so it’s possible that even more powerful variants are on the horizon. What These Prototypes Tell Us Two performance tiers – Expect a model above the current Dark Horse and a flagship with even more power and aerodynamics. Track‑focused hardware – Carbon‑fiber wheels, enlarged intakes and advanced aero suggest lap‑time‑oriented upgrades. New naming conventions – Trademark filings for Boss and Dark Horse Boss hint at heritage‑inspired names rather than Shelby branding. At our dealership, we love keeping our customers informed about upcoming performance vehicles. While these prototypes are still in testing, you can experience Ford performance today with the Mustang GT and Mustang Dark Horse models available in our performance inventory. Be sure to sign up for updates if you want to be among the first to hear when the next high‑performance Mustangs are announced.

Ford Explorer Takes the Top Spot in Q2 2025 Sales If you’re shopping for a midsize SUV, there’s one name you should know: Ford Explorer. In the second quarter of 2025, Explorer sales climbed to nearly 58,000 units, making it the best-selling individual model in its class. That momentum follows a refresh for the 2025 model year that adds new technology, simplified trim levels and improved value. Analysts expect Explorer sales to continue rising as the lineup expands. The rugged Timberline trim is being replaced by a 2026 Explorer Tremor, and there are now just four trim levels—Active, Platinum, ST-Line and ST—making it easier to find the right configuration. The refreshed model offers Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driver-assistance system, a 13.2-inch central touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and your choice of a 300-hp 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine or a 400-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6. Why Shoppers Love the Explorer Room for everyone – With three rows of seating and plenty of cargo space, the Explorer is perfect for families and adventurers alike. Advanced technology – The latest infotainment and driver-assist features make every trip easier and safer. Powerful yet efficient engines – Choose between a fuel-efficient four-cylinder or a high-performance V6, both paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission.

You can also apply for financing online and value your trade to simplify your purchase. Looking Ahead As the segment grows more competitive, Ford’s commitment to continuous improvement keeps the Explorer at the top.
