Ford Co-Pilot360 is an advanced driver assistance suite designed to alert you to potential dangers while driving. As your Ford dealership, we want to tell you more about some of its advanced safety features that you'll find in 2025 Ford models. From Your Ford Dealership: 3 Advanced Safety Features in the 2025 Ford Lineup Blind Spot Assist This system is a game-changer for changing lanes safely. Blind spots have always been dangerous, as it's often difficult to see if a vehicle enters one, and once inside a blind spot, that vehicle is effectively invisible. This is particularly true on highways, as higher speeds give you less chance to avoid an accident if a car that you couldn't see is already in the lane you're about to enter.. Radar sensors are installed on the rear sides of your Ford, and they continually monitor your blind zones. If a vehicle enters one, a yellow icon will appear on the corresponding side mirror to alert you. If you're already changing lanes when a vehicle is detected, you'll hear a warning tone, and your steering wheel will tug to alert you to turn back into your lane until the danger has passed. more Cross-Traffic Alert This feature uses the same radar sensors, but it activates when you're reversing. They scan the area in arcs to the left, right, and directly behind for approaching vehicles, people, or objects. If the sensors identify any movement, they provide several warnings. A flashing icon will appear on one of your rearview mirrors, you'll hear an audible tone, and another warning will appear on your information screen to identify the direction of movement. Reverse Brake Assist works with this system to make reversing even safer. If you've been alerted to danger and your Ford continues to reverse, this system will automatically apply the brakes to prevent a collision. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) This innovative cruise control allows you to set a following speed and distance from other vehicles. Once you enter your preferences and activate ACC, it uses radar and a camera to monitor any car in front of you, and it will automatically slow down if the other vehicle reduces speed. ACC includes two other complementary technologies: Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering. Stop-and-Go will automatically bring your Ford to a smooth stop if the vehicle ahead of you stops, and it will restart your engine and return to your previously selected speed and following distance once the other vehicle moves again. Lane Centering uses information from the camera and radar to identify yellow and white lane boundary lines. It will warn you if your Ford moves toward the lines and you're not actively steering.

A Ford electric SUV provides a practical combination of space, power, and affordability. Families looking for a comfortable ride or drivers who need versatility can lease the latest models from their local Ford dealership. You can learn more about the full range of leasing benefits by visiting the dealership today. Five Benefits of Leasing a 2025 Ford Electric SUV 1. Experiment With Electric Power Many drivers find that they make the change to an electric vehicle more easily than they expect. Leasing an electric vehicle first provides the opportunity to give it a try without any lasting commitment. If you find that you enjoy driving an electric SUV, you may want to take advantage of the end-of-lease options, which include being able to purchase the vehicle. more 2. Lower Monthly Costs Leasing is a cost-effective way to get the vehicle that you really want, rather than one that simply fits your budget. When you lease any vehicle, you only pay for the depreciation that occurs during the term, not the full amount. This means that leasing is often more affordable than purchasing a vehicle outright. This is particularly the case for larger, more expensive vehicles like SUVs. 3. Free Home Charger The Ford Power Promise extends to leased vehicles, so you'll receive a complimentary Ford Connected Charge Station when you take your SUV home. Ford's partnership with Qmerit means you'll also receive professional installation for free, making it easy to charge your vehicle whenever you need. If you're away from home and need to top up your charge, the FordPass app shows the location of the nearest public chargers. This makes it just as easy to recharge your car as it is to fill up with gas. 4. Latest Technology Ford is one of the leaders in the field, and every new model is packed with cutting-edge technology. When you lease a vehicle, you'll benefit from the latest innovations in electric power and other features. At the end of your lease you can move on to the next car for your new lease term. This ensures that you'll always be behind the wheel of a car fitted with the very best technology available. 5. Flexible to Meet Changing Needs Life is full of surprises, and you never know what might be around the corner. Leasing means that you have the flexibility to adapt to unexpected changes as you won't be tied into a long payment plan. If you already have plans that involve a big change, such as going traveling, you can structure the term to meet your requirements. Discover More Leasing Benefits at Your Local Ford Dealership There are many more benefits to leasing that you can explore at your local dealership. The finance team can explain how leasing works in practice, as well as discuss your personal circumstances to see if it is a good fit for you.

Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist is included as standard, offering blind spot assist, adaptive cruise control, and pre-collision assist. more ST-Line Style and comfort are the name of the game with the ST-Line. With an active subscription, Ford BlueCruise-Equipped Hands-Free Highway Driving allows you to cruise on the freeway with peace of mind. The cloth seating materials with red stitching are both durable and stylish. And the 20-inch wheels give the exterior a bolder, more confident look. Platinum If you're looking for a little extra power, the Platinum might be the trim for you. You can opt for the available 3-liter turbocharged V6 engine with 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque for extra acceleration on the highway or power when navigating steep country backroads. The exterior is sure to catch the eye too, with its silver-painted skid plates in front and rear. Inside, the standard Panoramic Vista Roof with Power Shade allows you to experience the light of the sun or moon while you drive. A heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather-covered armrests add some extra touches of class. ST The Explorer ST comes with the V6 engine as standard, so you can enjoy maximum power. It's the fastest Explorer ever made, but its impressive performance goes far beyond simple speed. The Explorer ST uses sport-tuned suspension and a 3.58 non-limited slip rear axle to ensure impressive levels of stability and control when cornering or navigating difficult roads. The exterior of the vehicle gets an upgrade too, with stylish flourishes like a body-color rear spoiler, unique blackout treatment on the headlamps and LED taillamps, and quad chrome exhaust tips.

Ford's Premium Maintenance Plan (PMP) is a great way to control maintenance costs and give you peace of mind. As your Ford dealership, we want to tell you about some of the many advantages of choosing prepaid maintenance. From Your Ford Dealership: 4 Advantages of Ford's Prepaid Maintenance Plan Numerous Plan Options PMP isn't a one-size-fits-all plan, as you can customize the plan length to suit your needs and requirements. Plan durations are measured in years and mileage, allowing you to choose a term from two years or 25,000 miles to ten years or 175,000 miles. You can also choose from three options for the frequency of maintenance based on your driving style and conditions. The Extreme option offers service visits every 5,000 miles, the Normal option provides service visits every 7,500 miles, and the Extended Normal option offers service visits every 10,000 miles. If you regularly drive long distances or spend more time in rush hour traffic than you want to, the Extreme option may be right for you. Conversely, if you drive only short distances and infrequently, Extended Normal could be the way to go. more Fixed Repair Costs Repair costs, sadly, inevitably increase over time due to inflation and part manufacturing costs. In addition, as your vehicle gets older, more complex and expensive systems need maintenance or repair. If you don't have a maintenance plan, you have to budget for these costs. This can be a hassle if your vehicle needs earlier maintenance than planned. When you have a PMP, all your maintenance costs on important components like spark plugs, belts, hoses, tire rotations, and more are covered by your monthly premium. There's a $0 deductible per visit, and all maintenance is performed by Ford-trained technicians using only Ford-approved replacement parts. Fully Transferrable If you have a PMP and decide to sell your Ford, the remaining duration and mileage covered by the plan is fully transferable to the new owner. A small fee is payable for this transfer. A PMP provides another major benefit if you're planning to sell your vehicle, as it shows the buyer your car has been regularly serviced by experts. This can help you get the best price for your old car. Multi-Point Inspections When you bring your Ford in for a scheduled service, you also receive a complimentary multi-point inspection. This is a comprehensive examination of your vehicle, and includes checking and filling fluids like coolant and oil, checking your tires and correcting their pressure if necessary, and examining and testing many other systems to ensure they're working correctly.

Did you know car batteries get heatstroke, too? Well, not exactly heatstroke, but the summer's heat can certainly take them out. Without summer battery service at your local Ford dealership, you might struggle to start your car one day. Here's a guide to Ford battery service and timely battery replacement. Ford Battery Service and Replacement: Don't Get Stranded This Summer Have Your Battery Tested Routinely Once or twice a year, drivers should have their batteries tested along with an inspection of the car's entire electrical system. A good time to do this is at the start of both winter and summer, and certainly before any long journeys, such as a summer road trip. Car batteries typically last three to five years; it's particularly important to book a battery checkup once yours passes three years of age. more Pop the Hood to Check Your Battery As your battery ages, it's a good idea to make a habit of checking how it looks. The terminals on top should remain corrosion-free at all times. A slight patina of green-white corrosion can often be cleaned away, but once serious corrosion sets in, the battery can no longer conduct electricity reliably and will need to be replaced. The battery casing should also look fine at all times. If its walls start to warp out of shape and are no longer perfectly straight, the battery has to go. Needless to say, if your battery ever cracks open and starts leaking, get rid of it immediately. Signs It's Time for Battery Replacement Slowing cabin electronics usually means the battery can no longer hold or deliver voltage properly. When a battery's bad, even the headlights and dashboard dials may falter. The battery warning light will eventually come to life. Most worrisome of all, your engine starts will grow sluggish, and your car may refuse to start one day, potentially stranding you somewhere unfamiliar on a sweltering day. How Heat Harms a Car Battery During a hot summer, the temperature inside an engine compartment can reach very high levels. This heat starts to evaporate the liquid catalyst electrolyte inside the battery, weakening its structure and shortening its lifespan. To prevent this, try parking in the shade and have your battery checked as the warm months begin. Books Summer Battery Service Today at Your Ford Dealership Let's find out how healthy your car battery is. We can test your battery and also make sure your alternator and wiring are in good shape. If your battery is showing signs of decline, we can promptly install a brand-new one, saving you from the problems created when a car battery dies unexpectedly.

We see things differently, and so do our credit providers. If you can afford to repay a loan, you should have it. If you have a high credit rating, you'll get the lowest rates and other incentives. If your credit score needs improvement, they'll create a loan package for you that enables you to improve your credit as you make payments.
