2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty Comes Standard with Adaptive Cruise Control

2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty Comes Standard with Adaptive Cruise Control


WESTLAND, Mich.––If towing your boat, RV, trailer, etc. seems like a chore, the new Ford F-Series Super Duty is about to change your entire outlook. The 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty comes standard with adaptive cruise control able to handle a tow of 31,500 pounds or more! Imagine for a moment, with the touch of a few buttons that you would be able to drive with cruise control down an open road, rolling hills, and even flowing traffic, without putting your foot on either pedal. Now imagine doing that with a large tow? Sound pretty amazing? It is. Let's go over the details.


Thanks to the adaptive cruise control your 2017 Super Duty will be able to automatically speed up and slow down to keep pace in any traffic condition. The incredible F-Series Super Duty also comes with adaptive steering and Blind Spot Information System and trailer coverage. These technologies are a class exclusive available to pickup truck drivers for the first time. The Series actually comes with a giant list of driver assist features that any driver would love including:

-Adaptive cruise control
-Adaptive steerings
-Blind Spot Information System with trailer coverage
-Trailer Reverse Guidance
-Trailer tire pressure monitoring system
-Utility LED lighting system
-BoxLink with premium locking cleats
-Customer-placed trailer camera (Factory-installed)
-PowerScope power-telescoping and power-folding trailer tow mirrors
-SYNC 3 

The adaptive cruise control, able to tow over 31,500 pounds, is the newest and most convenient driver assist feature included in all 2017 F-Series trucks. But how does it work? First you'll set the speed like you would with regular cruise control, then set a comfortable driving distance that lets the truck know how far to stay behind the vehicle in front of you. The truck uses a radar to sense the distance and speed of the vehicle ahead to then slow down or speed up accordingly. The feature will maintain the preset distance and speed above 20 mph until you turn the feature off.

Towing is serious business and drivers of the F-Series will have confidence in Ford's latest technology to make towing much easier. The 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty comes standard with adaptive cruise control, although it is optional on the King Ranch, Lariat, and Platinum Super Duty pickups including the F-450. The 2017 F-Series will be available late this year, and built right in the U.S. If you'd like to check out all the stunning options Ford has to offer for your towing needs before the release of the adaptive cruise enabled F-Series, you can stop by our Ford dealership in Westland!

Ford SYNC 3 is Open to App Developers

Ford SYNC 3 is Open to App Developers

WESTLAND, Mich. – After a strong debut this summer, Ford’s SYNC 3 is now open to app developers, allowing them to create specific apps that utilize and enhance the communication and entertainment system’s capabilities, including voice recognition and touch screen user interface.

Ford’s SYNC 3 comes with upgrades to the system such as SYNC AppLink, which lets you control your smartphone apps with voice-command and shows your phone apps on the SYNC screen. Ford has released a SYNC 3 development kit and vehicle data simulator software development kit that help app developers create apps without access to a Ford vehicle in order to improve and expand upon the SYNC 3 foundation.

Developers have access to over a dozen design templates to guide them through app development for SYNC 3, as well as new AppLink application programming interfaces with new capabilities that developers can use to:

  • Send push notifications to drivers à la your smartphone
  • Utilize cloud-based voice-activated services for in-app actions
  • Provide real-time information culled from vehicle sensors so drivers can customize and personalize their apps

Since 2013, more than 13,000 developers have registered for Ford’s industry-first developer program, and over 24,000 software development kits have been downloaded. The result has been over 90 iOS and Android smartphone apps that work with AppLink, including Pandora, Spotify, Glympse, Sina Weibo, and QQ Music.

Now that Ford SYNC 3 is open to app developers, Ford expects its renowned communication and entertainment system to grow more than ever, namely in uncharted categories such as health and wellness, connected home, and productivity. With a number of new AppLink possibilities for your SYNC 3 system, it will be important for you to stay attentive to updates, ways to navigate your SYNC 3 system, and the many new apps available to you to make your driving experience safer and more convenient.

The best way to learn all about everything new with SYNC is to attend a SYNC Session at our Ford dealership serving Dearborn, MI. Our helpful staff can answer all of your questions on new Ford technology in SYNC 3, as well as give you tips on ways to use your vehicle’s SYNC 3 system to the best of its abilities.
