Now, at the Chicago Auto Show, Ford is introducing a suite of new products for its 2009 F-Series pickups aimed directly at commercial customers, not high rollers.
The collection is called 'Ford Work Solutions' and some of the offerings are game changers that are going to make other truck manufacturers (and contractors at the jobsite) jealous.
In-Dash Computer
The first product is an in-dash, touch screen computer running Microsoft's 'Windows Auto' operating system that turns the pickup into a mobile office.
The computer uses Sprint's broadband wireless network to access the Internet to connect the truck with an office network or a home PC. Once connected, users can remotely access documents like Microsoft Office files, QuickBooks data, and blueprints. A wireless keyboard provides the interface to the computer and a Ford certified inkjet printer can print-off hard copies of the remotely grabbed docs right in the cab.
