Pennsylvania winters can transform our roads into snowy and icy challenges. In Ephrata, Lancaster County, and across Central Pennsylvania, heavy snow and slick surfaces are part of life. To keep moving confidently through the season, you need a vehicle that’s built to handle winter weather and still keep you comfortable.
For contractors, farmers and everyday drivers who need a workhorse, Ford trucks such as the F-150, F-250 and F-350 are winter champions. These pickups come with available four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive systems, high ground clearance and advanced traction control to give you grip on snow-covered backroads. The F-150’s available FX4 off-road package adds skid plates and hill descent control, making it ideal for hauling supplies or pulling a plow when the snow starts to pile up. And thanks to built-in safety features like AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™, you can tackle winter’s worst while keeping your crew safe.
If you’re looking for a family vehicle, Ford’s lineup of SUVs offers the perfect blend of space, capability and comfort. The versatile Ford Explorer features an Intelligent 4WD system that constantly monitors road conditions and adjusts power delivery to maintain traction. The Expedition adds extra seating for large families and offers a terrain management system with a Snow/Sand mode. Even smaller crossovers like the Ford Escape and Bronco Sport come with available all-wheel-drive and optional features such as heated seats, heated steering wheels and remote start, so you can stay warm while the engine warms up.
Beyond choosing the right model, preparing for winter means looking at the details. Ensure your tires have adequate tread and consider switching to dedicated winter tires for the best grip. Keep your battery and antifreeze in top condition, and don’t forget about routine maintenance like oil changes and brake inspections. Our service team can help you get your Ford ready for ice, sleet and everything in between.
At Twin Pine Ford, we understand the unique challenges of Pennsylvania winters and stock a wide selection of trucks and SUVs equipped to handle snow and ice. Whether you need a rugged F-150 for work or a family-friendly SUV with all-wheel-drive, you’ll find it here. Explore our winter-ready inventory to stay safe on the road this season.
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.

Ford Motor Company recorded a 1.6 % sales increase in the U.S. during October 2025, delivering 175,584 vehicles thanks to robust demand for pickups and SUVs. At Twin Pine Ford in Ephrata, we’re excited to share what this latest sales report means for shoppers across Pennsylvania and why Ford’s legendary trucks and SUVs continue to lead the way.
F-Series and Pickup Highlights
F-Series trucks once again dominated Ford’s October sales. The F-Series lineup—including the F-150 and Super Duty—sold 67,930 units, edging up 1 % versus a year ago. Year-to-date F-Series sales total 688,510 units, an 11.4 % increase that keeps Ford on pace for a record 49th consecutive year as America’s best-selling truck line. Ranger sales surged 48 % to 7,741 units and Maverick pickups set an all-time October record with 11,086 sold. Super Duty trucks gained 9 %, while Transit vans rose 6 %, giving commercial buyers more reasons to choose Ford.
SUV and Van Surge
Ford’s larger SUVs posted strong double-digit gains. Combined sales of the 2025 Expedition, Explorer and Bronco reached 34,366 units—a 7 % increase and the best October performance since 2004. Expedition sales climbed 4 % and Bronco family deliveries (including Bronco Sport) jumped 10 % to 21,157 units. These results demonstrate continued demand for spacious, feature-rich SUVs among Pennsylvania drivers.

Ford F-150 Lightning Can Power Your Home: Here’s How
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!
