2016 Ford Explorer Will Be In the Gotham Spotlight

WESTLAND, Mich. –– One of Fox's most popular shows, Gotham will have a new actor on the set. Fox and Ford have worked together to create featured content that will begin airing Monday Feb. 29 during the winter premier of Gotham. Although Ford has many suitable vehicles to take the stage, the 2016 Ford Explorer will be in the Gotham spotlight.

The unique content, called Villains Revealed, will air during the show and also be available online at FOX.com. The content will air in 60-second segments each week through March 14th. The driver? Cory Michael Smith who plays a split-personality and future villain, Edward Nygma, otherwise known as the Riddler.

Smith will be driving the Ford Explorer around the streets of New York where he solves riddles because he is the Riddler after all. In the shots he will be solving the riddles and referencing various Gotham cast members and dropping "easter egg" like clues for viewers and Gotham followers along the way.

The content was filmed in New York on set in January. This is actually the second year that Ford and Fox have worked together to create exclusive content. In fact the 2015 Ford Fusion was the vehicle in the spotlight last year with Ford and Fox's collaboration. The content will be featuring the 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum and will highlight:

• Voice-to-text capability
• SYNC 3 driver-connectivity system
• 180-degree front camera
• Hands-free liftgate
• Active park assist

“It’s a fun and very creative way to showcase some of what makes Explorer Platinum such a great vehicle,” said Ginger Kasanic, Ford experiential marketing manager. “A lot of people – from the show’s writers to Cory himself – really got involved in the story-telling process.”

Make sure to tune into Fox, or check out the series online to see exclusive content where the 2016 Ford Explorer will be in the Gotham spotlight. We won't be surprised if this makes you want to check out a 2016 Ford Explorer for yourself!

What Goes Into Your Ford - Ford Material Testing

WESTLAND, Mich.––You know your Ford looks good on the outside, but the interior is the part you spend time with the most. There's a lot of work that goes into designing the interior of a Ford, but there's also a lot that goes into the testing of the materials Ford uses. Ford is constantly innovating to make your driving experience top-notch and unforgettable, and it doesn't stop at the care they put into the interior. Take a look at what goes into your Ford - Ford material testing.

Owning a vehicle unfortunately means wear and tear. Your vehicle may never look as good as it does the day you drive it off the lot. Ford has taken this into consideration to give you quality materials that'll stand through regular wear and tear and be able to look just as good as when you first got it. Ford materials go through what they call SNIFF, SNAG, and SPILL tests. 

SNIFF

Not only do Ford vehicles contain materials run through durability testing, but also scent testing to make sure your driving experience is comfortable to all the senses. Testing materials are put into jars, then the jars are put through emulated climate like "humidity" or "sat in the sun all day". The qualified scent assessors then go through to determine what would be the most overall liked by Ford drivers. Check out the video below to see how they test scent: 

SNAG

The plastic surfaces and fabric can go through quite a bit of wear in a day, and most definitely throughout its complete ownership. Fabrics and plastics need to be able to withstand every normal action that comes along with its owner. Scratches from jewelry on the plastic, squeezing of the seats that stretches the fabric, snags from putting items in the backseat, etc. A few tests they use are:

• The Five-Finger Scratch Test-which uses 5 spikey "fingers" to run across materials at different pressure levels to look for damage
• The Resistance Dye Test-which rubs materials of different colors (think blue jeans) against leather to look for stains 
• The Fabric Stretch Test-which is where fabric is stretched using different weight to find thresholds
• The Mace Snaggin Test-which hits a spiky iron ball over fabric on a roller to test stength

SPILLS

Fabrics also go through spill testing. One in particular is The Soil and Cleanability Test which spills different liquids like grease, coffee, sunscreen, etc. onto the fabric to test for stains and to test how easy it is to clean.

All these intense tests benefit you, the driver, in the long run. All the tested materials that made it into your vehicle make it easier for you to enjoy your normal life without worrying about the wear and tear on your vehicle's interior. Haven't been inside a new Ford? You can come check out the quality on the inside and the quality drive with the 2016 Ford Fusion and the 2016 Ford Escape.
