Get A Huge Tax Break For Your Business At Brighton Ford

We’re sure you know that taxes can be quite the headache for small businesses. With all of the costs, time and effort involved in running your business, it’s frustrating to have to pay so much of your hard earned profits in taxes. That is why Brighton Ford is doing its best to help small businesses this tax season! 

BUYING A NEW FORD = A HUGE TAX WRITE-OFF
According to new tax guidelines under the IRS section 179 tax code, small businesses may be eligible to write off up to $500,000 that was spent on new equipment specifically for the business. In the past, businesses were required to spread these deductions out over the span of several years. But now, under the IRS section 179, businesses can write off the entire cost of one or more qualifying new Ford trucks or work vans from Brighton Ford near Lansing. To be eligible for the 2017 tax year, vehicles must be purchased between now and December 31, 2017.

In addition to buying the vehicle in the specified time frame, the vehicles must be used for business at least 50% of the time (based on mileage) in the first year that the vehicle is used. If you use the car for both business and personal use, only the percentage used for business would be eligible for tax deduction.  Section 179 for 2017 expires end of day, 12/31/2017. To deduct the full price of your equipment from your 2017 taxes and cash-in on the new higher deduction limits, your new Brighton Ford work truck must be purchased and put into service by year end.

Ford F-Series Is Best Selling Truck For 40 Years

Ford has sold enough F-series trucks to circle the earth more than three times!

The F-series, best known for the popular F-150, has been America's best-selling truck for the 40 consecutive years since its launch. Ford says it's sold more than 26 million since the model line came out in 1977.

The F-series has also been the best-selling vehicle of any kind in America for 35 years, the company said.

Ford has sold 818,580 of the trucks in the years since it launched the F-series. It started with the F-100 as a base truck back in 1977, and replaced it with the F-150 in 1984.

The evolution of the F-series followed changes in how people perceived and used trucks. Like blue jeans, pickup trucks went from being something appropriate only for work to being a style and lifestyle statement of their own.  Americans weren't just using trucks as farm tools anymore, to haul around pigs and hay bales. Trucks were being used increasingly for commuting to office jobs, family trips to Walmart and McDonald's, shuttling the kids to school and tailgate parties at football games.

2015 Ford F-150 Changes The Truck Industry

BRIGHTON, Mich. –  Earlier this week, we blogged about Ford winning Best Overall Truck Brand, and that is mostly thanks to the all-new, 2015 Ford F-150. The all-new 2015 Ford F-150 has brought an all-new meaning to “built tough” with its groundbreaking use of aluminum. The 2015 Ford F-150 changes the truck industry, and has moved to using a high strength, military-grade aluminum alloy in the body structure of the vehicle, which is a MAJOR innovation for a high volume product such as the F-150. This use of aluminum trims over 700 pounds off of the F-150, which translates to a higher capability of the truck and is noticeable AS soon as one starts to drive it.

Along with a new body composition, the F-150 gains another EcoBoost engine, which provides drivers with the combination of horsepower, torque, and fuel-efficiency every truck owner yearns for. The all new 2015 F-150 changes the truck industry, and is truly prepared for anything that the road brings, and that includes unfortunate incidents; “We’ve already been able to optimize the reparability of the truck and offer sectioning procedures and partial replacement procedure that we couldn’t do with the steel vehicle.” Says Larry Coan, Damageability Product Concern Engineer, Ford Motor Company.

This transition from steel to aluminum is truly groundbreaking within the automotive industry. This transition also provides the opportunity to add multiple onboard technologies that really set this truck apart from the rest of the pack. These include: a BLIS system, cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning, just to name a few! Some of these have never even BEEN in a truck model before! Ford is truly innovating the industry!

To test drive any of our F-150, F-250, or F-350 models, feel free to stop by! We are 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.

Ford Begins Training for Upcoming F-150 Production

BRIGHTON, Mich. - A few weeks ago, Ford Motor Company made a public announcement that they would be adding a total of 1,550 jobs to meet the high demand for the all-new 2015 F-150. During the month of January, the 2015 F-150 averaged a turnover rate of 12 days from the day it arrived on dealership lots. After such a strong month of sales, Ford knew it was time to get a jump start on production and add a new batch of employees to help manufacture the smartest, toughest, most capable F-150 to date.

Ford is beginning to train new employees for the upcoming F-150 production at the Kansas City Assembly Plant. It should come as no surprise that to be apart of the construction of a highly advanced vehicle you must undergo hours of intensive training. Ford has developed a production training program to incorporate all of the latest in advanced materials, including new forming and joining technologies that utilize a new operation system rather than a conventional welding technique. Ford employees will spend more than 400 hours participating in in-class and hands-on courses, covering anything from installing and configuring new equipment to constructing the F-150's electrical control system.

One of the most notable parts of Ford's training for the upcoming F-150 production is the "train the trainer" model. Once workers become experts on the new equipment, they will be expected to train other members of the crew that they work with on a regular basis. This ensures that every worker has a thorough understanding of the process and limitations of an assembly plant to successfully launch production. Kansas City Assembly will kick off production at the end of the first quarter of 2015. Together, Kansas City and the Dearborn Truck Plant will have the ability to produce more than 700,000 Ford F-150 trucks per year to be sold throughout the 90 different global markets.

We have some gorgeous 2015 Ford F-150s in stock at Brighton Ford! Stop by for a test drive today! We are 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.

Ford Adds 1,550 Jobs to Meet High Demand of 2015 F-150

BRIGHTON, Mich. - Ford Motor Company has added 1,550 jobs to meet the high demand for the 2015 F-150. After an insanely strong month of sales in January, Ford set out to add more jobs to support production of the all-new F-150. This January the F-Series saw the best sales month since 2004, where the 2015 F-150 had a sitting time of just 12 days on dealer lots and quickly became the Ford vehicle with the fastest turnover time ever. 

On February 5th, Ford announced that they would be adding 1,550 jobs to the Kansas City Assembly, Dearborn Stamping, Dearborn Diversified, and Sterling Axle facilities to meet the high demand for the 2015 F-150. The new jobs will be added during the first quarter of 2015, helping Ford reach an entry-level allowance outlined in the 2011 UAW-Ford collective bargaining agreement. As a result of this, the first 300 to 500 "new traditional" employees will transition from their entry-level wage to a higher hourly wage.  

The 1,550 jobs will be split amongst the four facilities with 900 being allocated to Kansas City Assembly, 500 will be split between Dearborn Stamping and Dearborn Diversified, and 150 will go to Sterling Axle. Ford Motor Company is thrilled that the demand for the toughest, smartest, and most capable F-150 has allowed them to provide more jobs within communities around the country.

Ford's Next-Generation SVT Raptor is an Off-Roading Beast

BRIGHTON, Mich. - Meet the newest member of Ford Motor Company's F-150 lineup, the all-new SVT Raptor. Ford's Next-Generation SVT Raptor is an off-roading beast and without a doubt the top-performing off-roading pickup in the lineup. Ford engineers have tweaked every single part of the F-150 Raptor to ensure that it is the toughest, smartest, most capable off-roader out there.

It's so strong and tough, you just won't be able to get enough! Ford's Next-Generation SVT Raptor features the strongest frame in the F-150 lineup, which is made up of more high-strength steel and has reduced the truck's weight by more than 500 pounds to improve performance and capability. The all-new Raptor has Ford's new, second-generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine under the hood, which produces 411 horsepower and 434 lb. -ft. of torque! 

The truck will also have a 10-speed transmission and an all-new four-wheel-drive, torque-on-demand transfer case, with an advanced, easier-to-use version of off-road mode driver-assist technology (say that 5 times fast). A few calibration changes have been made to the Raptor's power train, driveline, traction control, ABS, and AdvanceTrac stability control to enhance performance. There are actually SIX preset modes for the truck depending on the weather and terrain:

• Normal mode for everyday driving

• Street mode for higher-performance, on-road driving

• Weather mode for rain, snow or ice

• Mud and sand mode for muddy and sandy trails and terrain

• Baja mode for high-speed desert running

• Rock mode for low-speed rock crawling

Ford's all-new SVT Raptor is more capable than ever and has been redesigned with larger FOX Racing Shox for more suspension travel and terrain management technology. This baby will surely be able to tackle even the toughest terrains in America - from the Mojave Desert to Michigan snow. The all-new Raptor will be built at the Dearborn Truck Plant and go on sale in Fall 2016.

How the 2015 F-150 is Revolutionizing Truck Bed Cargo Management

BRIGHTON, Mich - When Ford first released news about an aluminum-bodied pickup, many were skeptical if it could live up to all of the hype. As we all wait patiently for the 2015 F-150 to hit showrooms, Ford continues to leak more and more information about what separates this truck from the rest. You have seen dozens of articles about the F-150 shedding pounds, its max towing and hauling rates, and its impressive engine options. However this time around, the company is sharing game-changing details. Ford is now revealing how the 2015 F-150 is revolutionizing truck bed cargo management.

Let's state the obvious. Ford customers are generally using their trucks to haul mass amounts of cargo. For starters, Ford equipped the truck with convenient LED box lights, a power locking and remote tailgate release that can be triggered with the push of a button on the key fob, and segment-first cargo ramps. Then of course Ford Motor Company decided to take to the next level of efficiency for management and stowage of cargo  with the 2015 F-150's patented BoxLink™ system. BoxLink includes four lockable, die-cast zinc tie-down cleats that provide an interface to the box for an improved level of flexibility and organization. 

The BoxLink provides F-150 drivers with four additional tie-down locations in the box to complement the four fixed tie-down hooks.  From a horizontal load of 275 pounds to a diagonal load of 600 pounds, the BoxLink is in an area of the truck bed that accommodates all cargo loads no matter the size or shape. Ford's ultimate goal for revolutionizing truck bed cargo management is to allow customers to optimize the BoxLink system and to provide even more personalized solutions for the pickup truck bed.

At Brighton Ford, we pride ourselves on providing our customers with an impressive inventory that is stocked with the latest and greatest Ford vehicles! We are 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.

500,000th Ford F-150 with EcoBoost Engine Sold

BRIGHTON, Mich - America's truck leader for the past 37 years has hit yet another milestone in its career. The 500,000th Ford F-150 with the EcoBoost Engine has been Sold, whose popularity has boosted immensely since its introduction just three years ago. Customer demand for the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost®-equipped F-150 can be seen in black and white; it has represented 45 percent of F-150 pickup truck sales in 2014 -the best-selling engine in the lineup. 

We can't say we blame customers for wanting such an efficiently equipped vehicle. In the last 38 months F-150 EcoBoost owners have collectively saved an estimated 56.8 million gallons of gas on an annual basis, who wouldn't love that? To get figurative, the amount of fuel saved with these F-150 EcoBoost trucks equates to an entire city which 70,000 homes going without electricity for a year OR the installation of 139 wind turbines. Seriously, how could a customer choose any other light- duty truck? At this point, people cannot say no to such an efficient, high-quality vehicle. Over the last three years, retail registrations of light-duty pickups with V6 engines have grown more than 600 percent -and F-150 models are directly responsible for 91 percent of this growth.

The 500,000th Ford F-150 with the EcoBoost Engine has been Sold, but not just because of the efficiency level. Today, customers are looking for the entire package when purchasing a truck. Does it have good highway and city mileage, how much horsepower and towing capacity does it have?  Ford realized that in order to meet customer's needs, they needed to create a truck package that accomplishes all of the work a customer will need it to do. So, the F-150 with the EcoBoost engine was born. By Ford offering the F-150 with V6 engines opposed to the V8s, they have already helped save 56 million gallons of fuel. Can you imagine this number once the 2015 Ford F-150 with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine and standard Auto Start-Stop goes on sale? Yeah, we can't either.

At Brighton Ford, we work with our customers to understand exactly what type of vehicle they are looking for. Let us find you a vehicle with the entire package, meeting every single one of your driving needs. Come on in for a test-drive today! 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.
