Apps + Vehicle..what?!




Just as apps have transformed smartphones and tablets, car console screens are the next frontier!

Why apps? Because automakers say they are trying to fill in a big gap in their customers electronic lives.


FACTS:

  • Ford Motor Company will be announcing it is doubling the number of apps available for its Sync in-car infotainment system to 10 at the upcoming International Consumer Electronics Show!
  • Drivers can use the car's voice command system to select music over Ford Sync.
  • Apps are expected to multiply to dozens or even HUNDREDS over the next few years!
  • Automakers are being careful to roll out only those they don't think will raise issues about driver distraction.


So there you have it. There is and will be more apps, for that!

Product Wednesdays - Ford Super Duty


We Own Work.

More guys get the job done with the Super Duty than any other truck.

That's a powerful statement.

Super Duty is more than just a name. It represents a long-standing tradition of trucks that are Built Ford Tough. Ford engineers crafted the workhorses in the Super Duty around a single goal: to deliver the performance, fuel efficiency and dependability you need for all the hard jobs you tackle every workday. And that's what you get in a Super Duty Pickup powered by a class-leading 6.2L gas V8 and the available 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel.

The available 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel and the 6.2L V8 gas engine were engineered and built to deliver best-in-class fuel economy. The impressive thing is that the fuel economy is achieved with engines that are light in weight but big in towing, hauling, torque, horsepower and all-around toughness. The 6.7L Power Stroke turbo diesel delivers a 20% improvement over the previous diesel, while the 6.2L gas V8's improvement is 15%.

The state-of-the-art emissions system of the 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel combines industry-proven technology and Ford-designed innovations to exceed the latest federal emissions standards, while helping deliver best-in-class fuel economy. Nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels are reduced by more than 80% compared with the previous regulations.

It's not enough for the Ford Super Duty to be able to just tow a Class III or IV boat or trailer. Which is why the Super Duty is engineered to tow a big load using smart technology like electronic Trailer Sway Control. That’s what it means to be a Super Duty – to work not only really hard, but also very smart.

No two jobs are the same. That’s why Super Duty offers so many options to help get all those jobs done, from available Ford Work Solutions to the Live-Drive Power Takeoff provision that saves you time and money.

Interested in finding out more about the Super Duty? Let us know! We would love to answer any questions you have or offer a test drive in one of the many options we have available!

Product Wednesdays

Today, we are kicking off our new weekly blog series!
We hope to showcase 1 vehicle from our line-up every week!
This week we are starting off with the 2012 Ford F150!

Why was the 2012 Ford F150 named Motor Trend Truck of the Year?

Here's why...

According to Motor Trend, "the F-150 is a tool built for a purpose. It has a goal in life, and the people who never use it as it was intended are squandering the truck's ability and a heritage that goes back to 1948." What a powerful statement!

Here's what Edmunds.com has to say about the all new 2012 F-150: "The 2012 Ford f-150 offers so many models and useful features that customers should have no problem finding one that fits their needs." The F-150 has a "powerful and fuel-efficient engine lineup; inviting and functional cabin; distinctive special-edition models; and innovative electronic features."

Here are a few key points on why the F-150 always rises to the top of the pack:

*The F-150 can haul more cargo and tow a heavier trailer than any of its competitors.

*F-150 has a fully boxed frame that's the strongest in its class; it's engineered and tested to withstand more punishment than your most difficult tasks can subject it to; the F-150 is Built Ford Tough to come through with the dependability you expect in this full-size pickup...and at the end of the day, that is what capability is all about!

*The F-150 gives you best-in-class trailer-towing capability (11,300 lbs) with the added confidence and stability of standard Trailer Sway Control and an available factory-integrated Trailer Brake Controller.

*The F-150 continues its tradition of delivering best-in-class payload capability (3,060 lbs). F-150 also has the most spacious cargo box (81.3 cu. ft) in its class. And that's not all...Two class-exclusive available features, the tailgate step and the box side steps, provide easier access to all that payload capability!
