Power Your Ride, Power this Float, Power Your Life: Lacombe Ford and Quick Lane at Lacombe Days

What happens when you mix community spirit, electric innovation, and a whole lot of parade-day energy? You get this year’s Lacombe Days Parade, where the Lacombe Ford and Lacombe Quick Lane crew rolled out in full force with a setup that turned heads, sparked conversations, and literally powered the fun.

We showed up with two great electric vehicle options: our Ford F-150 Lightning and a Rally Mustang Mach-E that drew cheers all down the route. The Lightning didn’t just tow our float, it powered it. The TV, the fan, and our entire parade display ran off the Lightning’s onboard power system, backing up our message: “Power your ride. Power this float. Power your life.” And right behind came our rally-styled Mach‑E, the fastest vehicle we’ve ever had on the lot. Instant torque. Zero tailpipe emissions. Big personality.

Below is the full story, plus how our Quick Lane team keeps your gas, diesel, and electric vehicles ready for every season and every parade.

The Ford F-150 Lightning: Tow + Power = Parade MVP

People expect trucks to tow. What most folks don’t expect is that a truck can also act like a rolling generator. Our Ford F-150 Lightning did exactly that at Lacombe Days. While it pulled our parade float, it also supplied electric power to run:

• A TV display playing the movie Cars

• A fan (because parade days can get warm)

  
  

This real-world demo lets parade-goers see what Lightning owners already love: you can power tools at the jobsite, light up the campsite, and run a whole parade float. That’s the heart of our message: your truck can do more than drive; it can power life’s moments.

Rally Mustang Mach‑E: Fastest Ride on Our Lot

If you spotted the bright yellow, rally‑inspired Mustang Mach‑E rolling with us, you probably heard the oohs and ahhs from the crowd. This fully electric performance crossover delivers instant torque, which means when you press the pedal, it moves fast. Our sales and service teams have seen a lot of incredible vehicles over the years, but this Mach‑E earns bragging rights as the fastest vehicle we’ve had available on the Lacombe Ford lot. Come feel it for yourself, seriously.

Quick Lane: We’re Ready for What You Drive

Parades are fun, but most days your vehicle just needs to work. That’s where Lacombe Quick Lane comes in. We’re your fast, no-appointment service stop for:
