 BRIGHTON, Mich - At the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company's sale in Scottsdale, Arizona, the First Retail Unit of the 2015 Ford Mustang Sold for $300,000. The purchase was made by a car collector and North Texas Ford dealer, Sam Pack.

Just like that the first retail unit of the 2015 Ford Mustang was sold for $300,000. The purchase of the 2015 Ford Mustang GT increased Ford's charity vehicle sales to more than $3.5 million for JDRF, the leading diabetes research organization and Ford partner since 1983.

Pack will choose from either a manual or automatic transmission as well as any color interior and exterior color combination that is offered on the all-new Mustang. The team that was involved in the Mustang design and development will also sign the vehicle in honor of the donation to JDRF.

A Shelby GT500-inspired 1956 Ford F-100 was sold for a lump sum of $450,000 to Gordie Broda of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. The 1956 Ford F-100 or "Snakebit" is a combination of street rod styling and the iconic Ford Shelby GT500.

This was made possible thanks to the Wheels of Dreams Project, which was developed to raise funds for the new Children's Hospital of Saskatchewan in Canada. The Wheels of Dreams Project is a collaborative effort with KISS bassist Gene Simmons, his wife and Saskatoon-born actress, Shannon Tweed-Simmons, as well as the area businesses including the local Saskatchewan Ford dealer association. The sale of the truck will help the Children's Hospital achieve their 2016 reconstruction goal.

Advanced 2.7-Liter EcoBoost Makes F-150 More Capable and Efficient

Advanced 2.7-Liter EcoBoost Makes F-150 More Capable and Efficient
BRIGHTON, Mich - Another reason to love the All-New Ford F-150, the Advanced 2.7-Liter EcoBoost® Makes the F-150 More Capable and Efficient than ever. The 2.7-liter engine with an extremely high output and lightweight design is accompanied by an Auto Start-Stop technology creating a stronger and smarter truck.

The all-new 2.7-liter EcoBoost® with the standard Auto Start-Stop was engineered exclusively for the new Ford F-150. The engine features a new design that delivers more power and a stronger performance that ever before. Taking lessons learned from the 3.5-liter EcoBoost, an industry benchmark for advanced truck engines, and applying new technologies created a more efficient engine that can perform like a large mid-range V8.

The 2.7-liter EcoBoost is the first use of graphite iron cylinder block in a gasoline engine. The composite CGI/aluminum block saves weight and provides strength where it is needed for maximum durability. The engine also contains all-new engine logic that alters operating parameters on the fly, providing the best efficiency and performance for the environment and workload. Some of these features include:

  • All-new aluminum cylinder heads that feature water-cooled integrated exhausted manifolds
  • Cooling jets beneath the pistons that spray oil on the pistons to help lower operating temperatures
  • Cartridge-style oil filter integrated into top of the engine for easy service
The Auto Start-Stop technology in the new F-150 boosts fuel efficiency and is specially tuned for truck customers. The technology shuts the engine off when the vehicle is at a stop and turns it on within milliseconds once the brake is released. With the exception of when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, this technology will give drivers power on demand when they need it the most. 

In order to prove the 2.7-liter EcoBoost's capability and durability, it had to take on intense environments. Ford labs and the 2013 Baja 1000 provided such environments. A disguised F-150 participated in the Baja 1000 with no additional oil coolers or radiators that are typically added for multi-day off-road races. The truck finished the 883-mile event, which was said to be the toughest in decades, without any problems. The stock air filter was the only part changed during the event.

In addition to the Baja 1000, the Ford labs subjected the F-150 to temperatures between minus 25 degrees and 235 degrees Fahrenheit. It participates in fatigue tests that run the engine at full load for more than 17 days and usually at peak torque and power. The Auto Start-Stop is also tested with repeated stop/starts with more than 900 test hours, simulating 240,000 starts and stops.

The Advanted 2.7-Liter EcoBoost will Make the F-150 More Capable and Efficient for truck customers every where. Ford Motor Company is taking "Built Tough" to a whole new level!

All-New Ford Mustang Has a "Need for Speed"

BRIGHTON, Mich - The All-New Ford Mustang Has a "Need for Speed" and will showcase it's full driving potential as it debuts in the "Need for Speed" film in March 2014. With the 50th anniversary of this iconic muscle car, director Scott Waugh could think of no better vehicle to feature in the film.
All-New Ford Mustang Has a "Need for Speed"
Watch out Hollywood, a new star is in town! On March 14th, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang is going to light up the big screen in the "Need for Speed" movie. The film is based off the popular Electronic Arts franchise. Actor Aaron Paul will be driving the latest Mustang on it's first on-screen appearance as well as cruising around in the custom 2014 Mustang throughout the film.

 Scott Waugh knew the Mustang was the perfect match for Aaron Paul's character in "Need for Speed". The Mustang is both an automotive and pop-culture icon, featured in over 3,200 films and television shows. As an automotive celebrity, the Mustang was driven out onto a pad of wet cement outside of the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA. One of the six debut locations on December 5, 2013 now has the pony car's prints and signature logo stamped into cement for years to come.

"Need for Speed" fans were able to virtually drive the all-new Mustang with a free in-game downland that was released in mid-December. "Need for Speed Rivals" also allowed for players to customize their Mustang with one of five popular designs using Mustang Customizer.

The All-New Ford Mustang has a "Need for Speed" and will be making its Hollywood appearance in theaters on March 14, 2014. The Mustang is set to go on sale next fall.

All-New Ford F-150 Features Takes Driver Experience to New Level

All-New Ford F-150 Features Takes Driver Experience to New Level
BRIGHTON, Mich - Ford's all-new F-150 features are taking the driving experience to a new level with improved comfort and convenience thanks to a dozen new technologies. America's most popular truck is debuting some features for the very first time and will maximize work and play activity.

The notable lineup of tech-savvy features are aimed to help customers do more with their trucks. First, let's talk about visibility. The F-150 provides drivers with extra visibility thanks to a new 360-degree camera system. The first of its kind system allows the drive to view all four sides of the vehicle, providing easier navigation of parking spaces or around tight corners. Cameras are mounted in the grille, tailgate, and under each sideview mirror work together to provide the driver with a overhead bird's-eye view and perception for as much as seven feet of surrounding space.

Energy-efficient LED lighting spreads throughout the interior and exterior of the F-150, making for a brighter, whiter light and improved durability than other incandescent lamps. Segment-first LED headlamps will give a better quality of light that is more representative of daylight colors. They also consume less energy than the average headlight technology and are designed to last the lifetime of the truck. The all-new F-150 also offers forward-facing LED spotlights on the sideview mirrors and LED cargo box interior lighting.

The overall driver experience will be enhanced with a suite of smart driver-assist technologies that will be on the pickup for the very first time. Lane-keeping assist uses the front camera system to monitor lane markings and will also alert the driver if the vehicle drifts out of its lane. A complementing steering-torque features will pull it back into the center of the lane if needed. Adaptive cruise control uses onboard radar, automatically slowing the truck down when cruise control is engaged and the truck is approaching slow traffic. Once the slowdown is gone, the truck will resume the original cruise controlled speed.

Collision mitigation is a system that use's the truck's radar to alert the driver if the truck detects a possible collision. The system can actually pre-engage the breaks to help the drive slow the truck even more quickly. BLIS®, Ford's Blind Spot Information System, with cross-traffic alert is a driver-assist feature that helps detect vehicles in blind sports during normal driving and traffic approaching from the sides when reversing out of parking spots.

 The F-150's cargo box has upgrading significantly, making it more versatile and driver-friendly. Remote lock/unlock of the tailgate and an automatic tailgate lowering feature that will lower itself with a push of a button on the key fob will be a huge help to customers. Stowable cargo ramps and lockable die-cast aluminum tie-down cleats, known as the BoxLink system, will help customers stow cargo in numerous ways. The F-150 SuperCab will also make it much easier to load and unload cargo with the flat load floor and rear doors that open almost 180 degrees.

The all-new Ford F-150 features is taking the driver experience to a new level will the redesigned instrument panel as well. The panel features an all-new 8-inch productivity screen with computer-generated graphics and customizable information. The fuel gauge, tachometer, speedometer, and amp meter are computer-generated. Two available 110-volt 400-watt outlets are available in the dash and second-row center console in SuperCab and SuperCrew models.

These new features on the all-new 2015 F-150 will alter the driver experience and advance it to an entirely new level. Honestly, what will Ford think of next? We're looking forward to seeing Ford and all of the outstanding vehicle's at the 2014 North American International Auto Show.

MyEnergi Lifestyle® 2.0 Adds Energy Storage to Increase Savings

MyEnergi Lifestyle® 2.0 Adds Energy Storage to Increase Savings
BRIGHTON, Mich - MyEnergi Lifestyle® 2.0 adds energy storage to increase savings by storing your own energy. Ford Motor Company's MyEnergi Lifestyle shows homeowners how they can save money on appliances and fuel through energy-efficient living. This 2.0 version demonstrates the benefits of integrating additional tools, such as storing energy within the home after it is captured by solar panels. With this, customers will have more ways to improve their energy usage and have power they can utilize to keep their homes running during outages.

At the 2014 International CES, Ford is announcing an energy storage system from Sharp as an example of what customers would be able to use. Battery storage will help homeowners enhance their energy footprint by adjusting when energy is used. The battery storage component will make it easier for homeowners to store their own energy and in turn, save more money.

MyEnergi Lifestyle is a Ford Motor Company collaboration with Eaton, Infineon, SunPower and Whirlpool. Ford worked closely with researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology to develop a computer model that calculates electricity usage of a typical single family in their home for one year, and the related savings with come with an energy-efficient lifestyle. Studies have shown that if every home in the United States were to implement these energy-saving technologies, it would be comparable to taking all the homes in New York, Texas, and California, which is roughly 32 million homes, off the power grid. Amazing, isn't it?

Two families participated in the MyEnergi Lifestyle program and started to see huge savings. Susan Berry and family from Southern California, expects to save more than $300 annually from their solar panel system which offsets more than 70 percent of the energy used in their home. The Sattler family in Colorado had their home retrofitted in December and expect to save $135 per year with their new energy-efficient Whirlpool freezer!

MyEnergi Lifestyle® 2.0 adding energy storage to increase savings is quite successful already with those who have already joined the program. Ford is looking forward to advancing this program further for even smarter energy consumption.

You can save energy too with a Ford C-MAX Hybrid from Brighton Ford. We offer those in Dexter and surrounding areas the best variety of New Ford Cars at our Dexter Area Ford Dealership. At Brighton Ford, we are here to help you find the Ford vehicle that meets all of your driving needs!

Brighton Ford is located at 8240 Grand River Ave. just north of I-96 in Brighton. We are a family owned and operated business that strives for customer satisfaction. For more information on Brighton Ford visit BrightonFord.com or give us a call at (800) 836-8206.

Parkmobile App to be Added to Ford SYNC® AppLink™

Parkmobile App to be Added to Ford SYNC® AppLink™
BRIGHTON, Mich - As a leading provider of services that enable users to pay for parking from their smartphones, Parkmobile has announced that their app will be added to the Ford SYNC® AppLink™ in-car connectivity system. Parkmobile users will soon be able to pay for a parking spot just as they are pulling into the space.

Drivers will be able to pay for a parking space with an on-file credit or debit card, which completely eliminates the need to touch their mobile phone while driving. Avoiding the need to swipe a card or feed coins into a meter, Parkmobile makes the parking experience easy. 

Parkmobile users will use Ford's advanced voice recognition system and SYNC AppLink interface to provide drivers with a simple and secure method of paying for parking from their vehicle. There will be no need to dig through your pockets or purse for loose change to feed the meter. Drivers are able to activate the Parkmobile app installed on an Android-based or iOS smartphone paired to SYNC.

Though it varies from location to location, drivers can receive a reminder to their smartphone 15 minutes prior to the expiration of their parking session. They gives drivers time to extend their parking session if they haven't already exceeded the maximum time allowed.

Ford is thrilled to add the Parkmobile app to Ford SYNC® AppLink™. Parkmobile takes something every driver does and uses technology to make it that much easier. The SYNC AppLink is available on more than 1.5 million Ford vehicles including Fiesta, Mustang, Edge, Explorer, Flex, Expedition, Transit Connect, Fusion, Taurus, F-150, Super Duty, Focus, E-Series and C-MAX hybrids.

Tips to Help Endure the Brutal Winter

Tips to Help Endure the Brutal Winter
BRIGHTON, Mich - As dangerously low temperatures head into Michigan, it is more important than ever to be sure you are taking the proper precautions in order to stay safe. Wind chills are heading into -20 and -30 degrees in some areas on the state; which is why we are providing you with a list of tips to help endure the brutal winter weather. Stay safe and stay warm, everyone!

  • When going outside, wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing. The trapped air between the layers keeps you warmer than if you were to wear one or two layers of heavy clothing. 
  • Mittens that are snug in the wrist are better to wear than gloves.
  • Watch for signs of loss of feeling or pale appearance in fingers and toes. These are a few signs of frostbite.
  • Check heating units to be sure they are working correctly. Heating units that are damaged or working incorrectly can release carbon monoxide gas. Be sure to test any carbon monoxide detectors for battery life and proper operation.
  • Check in with family, friends, and neighbors who may be at risk or need assistance. Keep a close eye on pets and keep them indoors if possible. Animals are at risk to the same cold weather injuries as people.
  • Keep travel minimal. Keep a full tank of gas and an emergency kit in your vehicle that includes items such as warm clothing, a blanket, flashlight, jumper cables, bandaids, etc. 
  • Lastly, when solving snow, avoid staying out too long and over-exerting yourself. Take breaks and give yourself time to warm up.
Endure the brutal winter with these helpful tips. Even when temperatures are not below freezing, it is always good to take these precautions during the unpredictable Michigan winter. Brighton Ford wants everyone to be safe, warm, and smart these next few days as well as the rest of the season!

Drive around in a warm, Ford vehicle this winter with the help of your friends at Brighton Ford. Our wide variety of Ford cars, trucks, SUVS, and crossovers will amaze you! There is no doubt that you will find the perfect Ford vehicle at our dealership. If you are looking to get rid of your current vehicle, we can help you with that!
