Lasco Ford - How the 2026 Ford F-150® Pro Access Tailgate and Pro Power Onboard™ elevate weekend projects around Holly, MI

Weekend projects go smoother when your truck removes the small hassles. That’s where the 2026 Ford F-150® shines with two features owners quickly call must-haves: the available Pro Access Tailgate and available Pro Power Onboard™ — 400 W. Between easier bed access and built-in power for tools or campsite lighting, the truck transforms how you load, cut, fasten, and wrap up a job. Around Holly, MI, those details matter—especially when a trailer is hitched, or daylight is short. Pair these features with the Ford Connectivity Package (1-year included with activation) and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving, and you have a truck that works harder and moves smarter from driveway to job site.

The Pro Access Tailgate is a standout because it does what a traditional tailgate can’t. Besides dropping down, it swings out up to 100 degrees to bring you up to 19 inches closer to the bed floor—critical when you’re strapped up to a trailer and can’t lower the gate. That closer reach turns awkward stretches into quick grabs. Pro Power Onboard™ — 400 W adds portable electricity right where you need it. Plug in a miter saw or keep the lights on as you finish a deck rail; no need for a separate generator for light-duty tools. Combine that utility with an available 360-Degree Camera for confident trailer alignment and Zone Lighting for pre-dawn starts, and your project routine gets faster and more reliable.

• Bed access, solved: The available Pro Access Tailgate swings open even when a trailer is attached, helping you reach cargo without crawling.
• Power where you work: Available Pro Power Onboard™ — 400 W can run lights, chargers, and select tools on-site or at camp.
• Trailer-friendly details: Available 360-Degree Camera and an integrated trailer brake controller (with the Tow/Haul Package) make hitching and hauling feel more controlled.
• After-hours readiness: Zone Lighting helps you illuminate targeted areas around the truck so tasks don’t stop when the sun goes down.

These features don’t live in a vacuum—the cabin complements them. The available Interior Work Surface folds over the center console, so you can measure materials or update orders on a laptop between cuts. Flip-up rear seats expand interior cargo room for stain cans and tool bags, while lockable under-seat storage keeps valuables out of sight in busy parking lots. And when the day’s done, an available B&O® Sound System with 8 speakers and an available head-up display help you wind down while staying focused on the evening drive home.

Choosing the right engine completes the formula. If your projects lean toward frequent towing, the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 with up to 13,500 lbs max available towing sets a high bar. If versatility is key, the 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 brings 420 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque along with efficient, quiet power that complements on-site work and weekend play. Drivers who love a classic feel often opt for the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8, while the 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 delivers an excellent mix of torque and daily usability.

Lasco Ford helps you tailor this toolkit to your projects—choosing the right bed length, cab configuration, axle ratio, and driver-assist features that fit your routine. With customer-focused guidance and clear, real-world explanations of how each feature works together, we make it simple to build an F-150 that pays you back with time saved and hassles avoided.
