2017 Ford Super Duty’s New Updates Make It an Unstoppable Pickup

WESTLAND, Mich. –– What would you expect in a heavy-duty pickup if its automaker claimed it was the toughest, smartest, and most capable truck leader? Ford Motor Co. didn’t outright claim this for its newest Super Duty, but plenty of Built Ford Tough drivers are happy to tout that the 2017 Ford Super Duty’s new updates make it an unstoppable pickup, and here’s why:

The 2017 Super Duty is Tough

Ford gave the newest addition to its heavy-duty lineup an all-new, high-strength steel frame that hikes up frame stability by 24 times that of the previous Super Duty’s frame. Did you just put your boat away for the season? It’s time to pull it back out because you need to experience the 2017 Super Duty’s hauling power thanks to stronger four-wheel-drive, driveline, axles, and towing components.

The steel frame battens down the hatches for you, but overtop of that foundation is high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy, which Ford is proud to claim “is more dent- and dint-resistant than the outgoing steel body and not subject to red rust corrosion.” By using high-strength aluminum alloy, the Super Duty dropped 350 pounds but keeps a strong core thanks to its steel frame. How’s that for all the aluminum haters out there?

The 2017 Super Duty is Smart

Remember when we told you you’re going to need to pull your boat back out to experience the towing capacity of the new Super Duty? Well here’s another reason: Ford says “towing is core to the Super Duty mission,” and brand new coaching and camera technology makes it easy and convenient. Check out this technology:

• 16 segment-first new features, including LED lighting and adaptive cruise control
• Seven cameras that show more angles and monitor the premises around the truck
• Center high-mounted stop lamp camera so you can see inside the cargo box easily, and to help you attach your trailer
• 360-degree camera system that shows an above view of the area around the pickup
• Trailer reverse guidance to help you reverse with whatever you have in tow
• Trailer camera able to be hooked up for increased visibility assistance
• In-cab trailer tire pressure monitoring system
• Adaptive steering technology to help you maneuver with the biggest loads
• SYNC 3 communications and entertainment system
• Blind Spot Information System
• Lane departure warning to alert you when another driver veers into your lane
• Adaptive cruise control and collision warning

The 2017 Super Duty is Capable

After shedding hundreds of pounds, the new Ford Super Duty is more capable than it ever has been. You can stick a 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel engine under the hood to get an insane amount of horsepower and torque. Opt for a 6.2L V8 gas engine for your F-250 and you experience the TorqShift-G transmission. Or, go with a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel, a 6.8L V10 gas, or a 6.2L V8 gas engine. Regardless of what engine you choose, you’ll have more towing and hauling power than you’ve had the privilege to experience as of yet.

If you’re ready to experience the 2017 Ford Super Duty’s new updates that make it an unstoppable pickup, we’ll keep you posted on when it’s time to stop by our Ford dealership near Taylor for a test-drive. In the meantime, feel free to browse our other capable Ford cars trucks for sale.

2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Is a Vicious Trail Monster

WESTLAND, Mich. – Since its inception, the Ford Raptor has torn its competition to pieces with incredible off-roading capabilities, speed, and sharp looks, but the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor might double that damage. After checking out some trail testing videos, the only way to describe the latest edition of Ford Motor Co.’s most intimidating truck is that the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is a vicious trail monster.

Ford spent time testing a new prototype of the truck – made of components from the 2015 F-150 and the 2017 Raptor – and conquered some of the toughest trails in Northern Michigan. What makes the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor a vicious trail monster begins with its ability to roar over seemingly insurmountable hills, ruts, and other obstructions that tend to be difficult for other pickups.

The 2017 F-150 Raptor is better equipped for rough terrain thanks to its heightened ground clearance, increased from the previous-generation Raptor, plus 3.0-inch FOX Racing Shox with custom internal bypass technology. According to Ford, the shock absorption technology dampens and strengthens suspension travel over sketchy terrain.

In addition, the 2017 F-150 Raptor bulldozes over tough landscapes with an all-new four-wheel-drive, torque-on-demand transfer case. The Transfer case handles power dispersion throughout the front and rear wheels, and blends hallmarks of clutch-driven, on-demand all-wheel drive with mechanical-locking four-wheel drive.

If you're imagining yourself stampeding over unforgiving terrain in the 2017 F-150 Raptor, you only need to hold out a little longer. You can test-drive the all-new pickup in fall 2016. Until then, stop in at our used car dealership serving Garden City, MI, where we have plenty of new Ford trucks and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles!

Ford Shows Support in many ways towards US Military Veterans

WESTLAND, Mich. – Ninety-three years ago, Henry Ford arranged a convoy of 50 Model T vehicles to chauffeur countless military veterans across the country to the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) National Convention in San Francisco.

It was in 1922 that the father of the automotive industry first publicly acknowledged his value in America’s military through this grandiose but gratuitous act of assistance to veterans. In 2015, Ford Motor Co. shows support in many ways towards U.S. military veterans and continues its founder's legacy of philanthropy. 

Since 1996, Ford has donated 199 vehicles to the DAV fleet that helps disabled veterans get where they need to be. Recently, Ford added to that number and donated 7 Flex utility vehicles that will be used by the DAV in Little Rock, Ark.; Iowa City, Iowa; Iron Mountain, Mich.; Omaha, Neb.; Portland, Ore.; Salt Lake City; and Seattle.

In addition to donating 7 Flex utility vehicles to the DAV, Ford Fund – Ford’s philanthropic wing – will sponsor DAV 5k walks in Atlanta, Cincinnati, and San Diego. Plus, Ford Fund will continue to finance the Jesse Brown Memorial Youth Scholarship Program, which provides scholarships to young men and women who step forward to help disabled veterans in their communities.

Other ways Ford shows support towards U.S. military veterans include their support this past spring for the DAV Winter Sports Clinic in Snowmass, Colo. Ford also plans to partner with Project SNAP to bring veterans and their communities together to create artful messages of thanks to active military members that will join this year’s Operation Grateful Nation mural ­­– last year’s artwork is on display at the Pentagon.

Additionally, Ford worked with National Veterans Transition Services, Inc. to develop the Freedom’s Sisters REBOOT Workshop that assists women veterans as they transition from military to civilian culture.

Ford Fund is also a large sponsor of Honor Flights, which carry World War II veterans to the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. To further honor World War II veterans, Ford paid special tribute to them at this year’s Ford Fireworks in Detroit, which included a flyover by vintage World War II-era planes.

As you can see, Ford and Ford Fund pay special attention to America's men and women who serve in or who are veterans of the U.S. military. Since 1974, Ford has donated close to $9.3 million to veteran’s organizations, and now employs over 7,000 veterans and hundreds of active military personnel, reservists, and guardsmen.

Ford's deep commitment to others translates to what we do at our dealership for our customers. We want to make sure your vehicles functions at its best. Stop in at our Garden City area used car dealer to get the auto service your vehicle needs to keep driving Ford tough!
