Ford F-150 Versus Dodge Ram 1500

This video shows the many reasons why the Ford F-150 is superior to the Dodge Ram.  One of the reasons the F-150 is better than the Ram, is the aluminum body panels...they will never rust and make the truck much lighter than a Dodge Ram 1500. 

Don't take our word for it...schedule a test drive to see for yourself!

Ford F-Series & Explorer Have Best April Sales in Almost 10 Years

BRIGHTON, Mich - Last month went exceptionally well for the well-known Ford Motor Company F-Series and Explorer. The Ford F-Series and Explorer Had the Best April Sales in Almost 10 Years! Even with total U.S. vehicle and retail sales off by 1 percent compared to last year, these popular Ford products were still able to beat a record. Fortunately, as industry sales are continuing to rebound from January and February, Ford is starting to see some steady growth for all makes and models.

The F-Series totaled 63,387 vehicles sold last month -the best April sales since 2006. The EcoBoost® engine definitely deserves some credit; its role in F-150 sales accounted for 42 percent of the truck's overall retail engine mix. Ford's V6 engines, EcoBoost and 3.7-liter, made for 55 percent of F-150 sales in April! Ford's Explorer had the Best April Sales since 2005, selling 16,629 vehicles! Ford Explorer sales increased 17 percent and hey, why shouldn't they? The Explorer wasn't named as America's best-selling mid-size utility for nothing!

Ford Shows Off Customized Trucks at SEMA 2013

BRIGHTON, Mich. - SEMA 2013 has officially begun and the Ford display is anything but a disappointment. Among the 57 other vehicles that Ford has brought to showcase, Ford is showing off customized trucks at SEMA 2013.

While there is a fleet of customized trucks on display, one of the vehicle's that captured our attention is the EcoTrek Ford F-350, also dubbed 'The Survivor'. This vehicle was designed with the end of the world in mind, as it provides a post-apocalyptic Ford owner with everything they could possibly need. First, the vehicle will hardly ever need to be filled up as it's outfitted with a 50-gallon fuel tank. Should you need fuel, there is a removable 75 gallon tank inside the vehicle's bed that will give the 6.7-liter V8 engine power for about 1,800 miles.

Should you run out of gas, you can easily live out of the EcoTrek that doubles as a off-road camper. Inside the vehicle you'll find a roof shelter, stoves, a refrigerator, solar panels for power, sleeping bags, backpacks, and storage lockers. After you've packed your vehicle full of food and water, you'll be able to escape and survive at a moment's notice.

Another vehicle that had Ford fans talking is 'The Hunter' aka the F-150 Backwoods Sportsman. If you'd rather prepare for you weekend than plan for the end of the world, the F-150 Backwoods Sportsman is made with hunters and fisherman in mind. Designed to haul gear and kills, this vehicle will get you over even the most rugged terrain with its Skyjacker Suspensions 6-inch lift kit and Fab Fours Inc. rugged bumpers.

Ford shows off customized trucks at SEMA 2013 - and boy, are they amazing! While these customized trucks might not be sitting on our lots, there are a variety of upgrades and accessories available for your Ford vehicle that can help you design a Ford to fit your lifestyle. To learn more about your options, stop by our White Lake Area Ford Dealership. We'd be more than happy to take care of any automobile need you may have, so come see us today!

2015 Ford Super Duty Model Gets Beefy

BRIGHTON, Mich. - Ford Motor Co. has announced that they will be upgrading its Super Duty pickups, with one specific F-series truck in mind - the F-450 truck. The 2015 Ford F-450 will be strengthened and upgraded for the 2015 model year and will be showed off at the State Fair of Texas this week.

The 2015 Ford F-450 Super Duty model gets beefy with a more powerful engine, strengthened frame, suspension and new commercial grade tires. All of these upgrades will allow for increased towing capabilities. Although the exact towing capacity figures aren't available yet, Ford has confirmed that it will be more than the current model which pulls 24,700 pounds.

The more powerful engine will be a second-generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbocharged diesel engine. The larger turbocharger on the vehicle will let in more airflow to the new engine, allowing it to produce more power than the 400-hp, 800 lb-ft of torque that the current engine produces. Specific horsepower and torque figures are pending, as Ford is still doing extensive testing on these attributes. (Side note: this engine will be made available on the F-250, 350 and 450 pickup models)

The 2015 Ford Super Duty Model gets beefy with more powerful attributes and a frame that has been built tougher. While this vehicle won't be available to purchase until sometime next year, we do have a great selection of powerful New Ford Trucks currently on our lot. If you'd like to take one for a test drive, or talk about purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle instead, we're more than happy to help! So stop by and see us today!

5 of the Most Significant Ford Models in History

BRIGHTON, Mich. - The above picture is Henry Ford, riding in the first automobile he ever made. This was taken in 1896, back before cars were a thing, and before Henry Ford changed the fate of transportation. While it's amazing to see the new 2014 models being released, it's important to take a moment and appreciate how far Ford has come since it's humble beginnings. That's why we want to show you 5 of the most significant Ford models in history.

Ford Quadricycle
The Ford Quadricycle is the go-cart resembling vehicle pictured above. It's was Henry Ford's first automobile, made mostly of bicycle parts including wheels, and 10 feet of bicycle chain. Although the car could reach 20 mph, it actually had no brakes! Talk about risky business! Thankfully, the Ford vehicles of today are equipped with the best brakes, ensuring that you come to a complete stop - especially since our cars go a lot faster than 20 mph!

Ford Model T
The Ford Model T is the vehicle that first made Henry Ford popular. Selling over 15 million Model T's, the first car was made in 1908, while the last one rolled off the assembly line in 1927. This car was the first to be made using an assembly-line, which is one of Henry's ideas that forever changed production. During it's 19 year stint, it accounted for 40 percent of all cars sold in the U.S.!

Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang, one of the most influential muscle cars, was first made in 1964. The first day it went on sale, Ford sold nearly 22,000 vehicles! Although the looks have changed quite a bit since then, the Ford Mustang was, and continues to be, a favorite across the globe.

Ford GT40
The Ford GT40 (40 representing its overall height of 40 inches) is an American-British racing car, and was made to compete with Ferrari. Nowadays, the Ford GT40 is rare and extremely expensive.

Ford F-Series
The Ford F-series began in 1948 and continues to be made today. Ford is synonymous with trucks, and it all started with this series. The F-150 model was the best-selling vehicle in the country for years, and Ford continues to be the first name that comes to mind when you think of trucks.
As Ford continues to grow and evolve, it's always nice to appreciate and see the most significant models in Ford history that have helped make the company what it is today. We will continue to change over the years, but we never forget where we came from!
