Explore Innovation with the 2025 Ford Escape
Whether you want to get out of the big city to spend some time in the great outdoors or you’re planning a vacation road trip, the best small SUV for your adventurous travels is the 2025 Ford Escape. Learn why this five-passenger SUV is the right choice for your next vehicle upgrade today.
The base Ford Escape is the Active trim, which is equipped with a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine designed to maximize fuel efficiency. The engine comes with automatic start-stop technology, which shuts off the engine automatically when the vehicle is idling to avoid burning fuel in bumper-to-bumper traffic and similar driving conditions.
To support this eco-friendly powertrain, the Active model comes with a front-wheel drivetrain and an eight-speed automatic transmission. If you anticipate driving in challenging winter conditions, you can opt for an engine block heater accessory when you custom order your Escape to protect your motor from cold starts. For drivers who plan off-road adventures, it may be a good idea to upgrade to the AWD drivetrain.
As the trees shed their leaves and temperatures begin to drop, it’s time to think about preparing your car for the winter. Colder temperatures together with rain, ice, and snow can all take their toll on a vehicle. We can help you get ready for all that winter has to offer with a list of our top tips for optimal Ford maintenance.
Check Your Tires
The state of your tires is important all year round, but never more so than in the winter. Wet roads and icy surfaces can impair the grip so if your tires are already nearing the limit, you could find your car slipping around. You should therefore check your tires to make sure they’re in good condition and not heavily worn.
You might also want to consider switching to winter tires until around Easter. Winter tires are made from a softer rubber that stays more flexible in cold temperatures, helping them to retain their grip. The tread is also deeper and has a pattern that’s designed to cut up snow and ice, making it safer to drive in difficult conditions.
The new 2024 Ford Bronco is an adventure-ready vehicle with impressive off-roading capabilities. While it can get you to work safely and in style, it really excels off the pavement.

3 Signs Your Ford’s Brake Lines Need Service
As drivers, we rely on our brakes every time we get behind the wheel, but they are a complicated mechanism. In addition to the brake pads and discs, the braking system also relies on brake fluid carried by brake lines. Your local Ford dealership can carry out a brake lines service if you think there might be a problem, or if they’re just overdue a check. If you’re not sure whether a service is needed, here are some of the most common signs to look out for.
1: Spongy Sensation
The pressure you feel in your brake pedal is created by the brake fluid travelling down the brake lines. If air gets into the brake lines, or the metal corrodes and a hole develops, it can affect the hydraulic pressure. You’ll experience this as a spongy sensation on the brake.
If it’s just air in the brakes, a technician will be able to bleed the brake lines during the service to correct the problem. However, if the brake lines have corroded, they will need to be replaced.
