It might be time for bed.

Yeah, I'll go and put him down for a nap.

Hey, Siri, set Fin's room light to 20%.

[Siri] All set!

With the Lightwave system we've got at the moment we're controlling all

the lights in the lounge, in the nursery. in the bedroom.

We've both got Apple watches and that's really useful when you're changing him

and you don't have a hand free to do anything else you can just talk to

the watch. We also have a couple of Sonos speakers which have

Alexa in. So we've got one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom and we use that

to change the lights as well...and we've just got a heating kit as well:

Hey, Siri, set Fin's room to 18 degrees.

[Siri]: All taken care of!

Ford F-150: Smart Capability For Improved Productivity | F-150 | Ford - Duration: 2:39.

I'm Sean Riley, and in my line of work I end up at a lot of different work sites.

And you know what, I see more Ford trucks than any other.

So when they asked me to check out the capability and productivity features,

I jumped at the chance.

[MUSIC]

See a truck that helps you work hard, that's important.

But a truck that can help you work smarter,

now that'll get you home early once in awhile.

So let's jump right into it and check out capability.

This F-150's body is made from high-strength,

military-grade aluminum alloy.

It's just as strong as steel but much lighter, and that weight reduction has

allowed the Ford engineers to increase overall strength and efficiency.

And that translates to best-in-class towing and

best-in-class payload.

Let's take a look in the cargo bed for a feature that in my humble opinion is pure

engineering genius, it's called BoxLink.

Take a look at this right here and again over here.

There are four of these structurally reinforced mountain plates bolted to

the side of the bed and each one is fitted with its own uniquely designed cleat.

These cleats accept bungees, s hooks, or ratchet straps,

that gives you a lot of options for tying your stuff down.

BoxLink also accepts accessories like bed dividers,

that's a huge help in keeping your cargo box organized and secure.

And the smart capability continues with stowable loading ramps,

stored on the sides of the cargo bed via the BoxLink system.

They mount quickly to the tailgate to make easy loading of ATVs, motorcycles, mowers,

or just about anything on wheels that'll fit in the bed.

Climbing into the cargo area is a whole lot easier with this integrated

tailgate step, it holds up to 350 pounds and it's there in a snap when you need it.

[MUSIC]

When you're done, it folds away into the tailgate for

a completely flat inner tailgate surface.

All right, well, we've all been there, your day job turns into a night job.

But with this truck, you won't be working in the dark, check this out,

LED box lighting.

It illuminates the cargo beds so you can see what you're doing.

There's a tailgate LED to help you hookup a trailer at night,

plus LED side-mirror spotlights to light up any task at hand after the sun has set.

So you can see why F-150 has become such a valuable tool on the work site for so

many years.

It really has set the standard for half-ton pickups.

F-150 doesn't just raise the bar, it is the bar.
