Ford's Adaptive Steering Technology Makes for a More Enjoyable Ride

FLUSHING, Mich - A new generation of technology is about to gain a place in the market. Ford's Adaptive Steering Technology Makes for a More Enjoyable Ride thanks to its agile and maneuvering enhancements. Ford drivers will find that driving their vehicle at a lower speed and in tight spaces is easier than ever and that their ride at a higher speed is much more fun. Now, you're probably wondering about this Adaptive Steering and how it works. What it does is adjusts the ratio between a driver's actions at the steering wheel -also known as the number of turns- and how often the front wheels turn. Currently, vehicles have a fixed steering ratio, but soon, Ford's Adaptive Steering system will help continually change the vehicle's speed and optimize the steering response in all conditions.

When driving at lower speeds, such as when the driver is maneuvering in tight corners or pulling into a parking spot, Adaptive Steering improves the vehicles agility so less turning of the steering wheel will be required. Steering response will be improved when the vehicle is driving at a higher speed, smoothly and accurately reacting to driver input. The ride will be more comfortable and enjoyable for the driver!

Ford's Adaptive Steering Technology Makes for a More Enjoyable Ride with help of its precision-controlled actuator -an electric motor and gearing system- that is placed inside of the steering wheel. The actuator adds or subtracts from the driver's steering inputs and improves the driving experience no matter what the speed, vehicle size or class. Keep your eyes peeled for the Adaptive Steering technology on a vehicle near you starting next year.

Kick off the month of June with a brand-new ride! Let us help you find the perfect Ford vehicle to meet all of your driving needs! Delehanty Ford is located at 1510 E. Pierson Road, Flushing, MI 48433. Feel free to give us a call at (810) 659-5688 with any questions you may have.

Ford Patents Inflatable Safety Belt to Encourage Expanded Adoption

FLUSHING, Mich - Ford Patents Inflatable Safety Belt to Encourage Expanded Adoption and improve safety for all consumers using various forms of transportations. Ford Motor Company is offering the patented technology to other companies and industries, including competing automotive manufacturers. Ford has been and continues to be committed to standardizing technology that reaches more than just Ford consumers. Ultimately, Ford is hoping availability of licenses will lead to wider adoption of the inflatable safety belts and in return, make traveling safer and reduce passenger injuries, especially amongst children and the elderly.

Ford Patents Inflatable Safety Belt to Encourage Expanded Adoption for several other forms of seated-passenger transportation, including military vehicles, aircraft and boats. As of now, the inflatable seat belts can be found on the Ford Explorer, Flex and Fusion. The up and coming 2015 F-150, Lincoln MKT and MKZ will be equipped with the latest safety belts as well. For everyday use, the inflatable safety belts operate just as any other traditional seat belt would. It isn't until the instance of a crash that the belt would deploy over the occupant's torso and shoulder. The inflatable safety belt  distributes crash forces to an area five times larger than a conventional seat belt, which helps to reduce pressure on the passenger's chest and controls the head and neck motion.

Six Generations Later, Original Mustang DNA Still Shines Through

FLUSHING, Mich - As much as the Ford Mustang has evolved and adapted to the latest trends and technology, we can still see even Six Generations Later that the Original Mustang DNA Still Shines Through. Think about flipping through an old family photo album, facial features like a nose or eye shape carry on over many, many years. Throughout all of the different Mustang trims over the years, those signature features return and are adapted to align with the latest trends. In order for a sports car to survive within the market it must change and adapt, yet continuously embody its driver and creator. The Ford Mustang is one of the few cars that has been able to adapt while still preserving its nature.

What are those iconic pony car features that even Six Generations Later, make the Original Mustang DNA Still Shine Through? Well the Mustang's visual presence, performance and accessibility have been the center of its popularity since April 17, 1964. The pony car's long-hood, short-rear-deck proportions are the defining DNA components which create the overall Mustang look. Throughout the six generations, the trapezoid grille, shark-bite nose, tri-bar taillamps, hockey-stick side profile and twin eyebrow dashboard have all been returning themes. It was the fastback profile that portrayed the strongest visual message about the Mustang's level of performance and the convertible the attractiveness of top-down driving. It is part of Ford designer's job to maintain the Mustang's visual identity, selecting the elements that are necessary to create a modern vehicle that is without a doubt Mustang.  

Looking for a pony car of your very own? How about a new vehicle to start off your summer? Stop by Delehanty Ford and we can help you find a vehicle that meets all of your driving needs!

Ford Focus RS Coming to America in 2016?

FLUSHING, Mich - When the Ford Focus ST debuted in 2010 with its 252-horsepower turbo four-cylinder, snazzy styling and $24,155 price tag, American car buyers fell in love. But of course, we when like something we want more, we want more, we really like it, we want more! According to a recent Autoexpress report, our wish many come true. It has been said that the Ford Focus RS is Coming to America in 2016, which may be given a 350-horsepower version of the 2.3-liter EcoBoost from the latest Mustang. Although the Chief Operating Office for Ford of Europe could not confirm any major details, Barb Samardzich did express that there is a major desire for the Focus RS in America.

With Ford's background in RS cars, there is no way the company is going to let any of the competition swoop in and overpower this area of the market. The team in Ford of Europe are focused on the future and the company's performance strategy. One of the main concerns that must be taken into account is that front-wheel-drive vehicles with that much power is torque steer, but with Ford's RevoKnuckle suspension design, weighing and costing less than your usual double wishbone setup, they are able to counteract this and improve the performance of the Focus RS. As popular as hot hatches are in Europe, there is no doubt in success if the high-powered Ford Focus RS Came to America in 2016. To put it simply, the Focus RS is the power of a Mustang with the practicality of Focus. Need we say more? Consider us sold!

Looking to start off your summer with a brand-new Ford vehicle? Stop by Delehanty Ford for the greatest selection of Ford cars, trucks, SUVs and crossovers. You'll get a great deal and drive away happy, we guarantee it! Delehanty Ford is located at 1510 E.

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

FLUSHING, Mich - Another milestone is met for America's 37-year truck leader as Ford Sells the 500,000th F-150 with the EcoBoost Engine. The 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost® engine debuted just three years ago and since has grow more and more popular among F-150 customers. As fuel-efficiency has become a vehicle necessity, Ford took it upon themselves to create a vehicle that is fuel efficient, while still highly capable and helps customers in getting the job done - a "total package" so to speak. Customer demand for the F-150 with the EcoBoost engine has skyrocketed and we can see why! Over the last 38 months, F-150 EcoBoost owners together have saved roughly 56.8 million gallons of gas on an annual basis. Those savings are equivalent to 70,000 homes going without electricity for a year or 6,685 tanker trucks' worth of gasoline! That is incredible, just incredible! 

As we said, the Ford F-150 is without a doubt the total package for truck customers looking to save fuel, without feeling they need to compromise their truck's power and capability. The numbers tend to agree; over the last three years, retail registrations of light-duty pickups with V6 engines grew more than 600 percent. F-150s are accountable for a hefty 91 percent of this growth! Can you imagine the increase of that percentage once the 2015 Ford F-150 with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine and standard Auto Stat-Stop hits the showrooms? Is it safe to say that as Ford continues to take the F-150 to the next level, we are sure that the sale of the 500,000th F-150 with the EcoBoost Engine won't be the last!

Ford's Fleet Buying Tool Saving Money and the Planet

FLUSHING, Mich - Sifting through the various choices of eco-friendly vehicle options is hard enough when you are looking for a new car, but what if you are responsible for choosing on behalf of your entire company fleet? Talk about pressure. Well, Ford is on your side and here to help with their "Ford Fleet Purchase Planner™", Ford's Fleet Buying Tool, Saving Money and the Planet. The tool can help buyers build an eco-friendly fleet at a low cost. It guides the buyer in choosing from Ford's vehicle lineup, while managing cost and showing how their choices will reduce their company's carbon footprint. With what can be done with analytics, Ford believes that customers shouldn't have to settle for one specific vehicle for an entire fleet, simply based off factors like miles per gallon. 

The Ford Fleet Purchase Planner™ builds a fleet of Ford vehicles, factoring in all environmental concerns, driving habits of employees and amount of ground covered while traveling. After calculating the fleet's environmental impact and cost, the planner allows the buyer to alter the lineup until their impact/cost goals are met. Amazing, right? So amazing in fact that Ford's Fleet Buying Tool, Saving Money and the Planet was one of three finalists for the 2014 Innovative Applications in Analytics Award by INFORMS -the largest association for professionals in analytics.

Ford Motor Company Taking the Escort to China

FLUSHING, Mich - Ford Motor Company is Taking the Escort to China and debuted the latest model of the sedan at the Beijing Auto Show a few weeks ago. We may see this compact sedan in America eventually, but for now this vehicle has been developed specifically with the Chinese market in mind. Mechanically, it is related to the Ford Focus - which has been huge contributor to Ford China sales over the last few years - but the Ford Escort is ready to offer customers something a little different.

The Ford Escort is a Focus sedan that has been modified and altered in specific ways to meet certain needs and tastes of customers in the Chinese marketplace. To start, the Escort has increased the amount of legroom in the backseat. This is actually a huge selling point in China. Typically in the United States, we think of the backseat as a place for children. However, in China is this not always the case. With the heavy urban traffic, many who can afford professional drivers will be the ones sitting in the backseat of their vehicle. Others in China who cannot afford that luxury, want the backseat to be comfortable for their families, especially grandparents. 

From a style perspective, the Escort is a toned-down version of the Focus sedan. As popular as the Ford Focus is, some sub-groups prefer a less ostentatious, but still visually appealing vehicle. The Ford Escort is bringing customers comfortable, quiet interior with a few high-tech features. Perforated leather on the seats and LED headlight trims are just two of the ways Ford has combined luxury and functionality without being too pretentious. 

Ford Motor Company Taking the Escort to China was another way to reach a different sector of the marketplace. There will always be customers with different needs and lifestyles, which is why we can always count on Ford to bring us the next best thing. At Delehanty Ford, our customers come first. Let us help you find the perfect vehicle to meet all of your driving needs. We are located at 1510 E. Pierson Road, Flushing, MI 48433. Feel free to give us a call at (810) 659-5688 with any questions you may have.

Industry-Exclusive Performance Feature for 2015 Ford Mustang GT

FLUSHING, Mich - In case you haven't already heard, there is some major buzz about the Industry-Exclusive Performance Feature for the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Drag racers, start revving those engines, because this industry-first performance feature by the name of "Line Lock" helps drivers achieve maximum traction before taking off at the drag strip. For those Mustang drivers who are into competing, this is an awesome feature that allows them to easily drive to work all week and compete on the weekend without having to modify their brake systems. 

While the electronic line-lock feature is activated, the driver releases the brake pedal and the hydraulic control unit for the stability control system will keep the front brakes locked while releasing the rear brakes. As the Mustang sits in the burnout box of the drag strip, the driver can then apply the accelerator, spinning up the rear wheels to warm the tires for maximum grip. Once the tires are warmed up, drivers can pull up to the staging line, turn on launch control and blast off just as the light turns green. Pretty cool, huh? 


The Industry-Exclusive Performance Feature for the 2015 Ford Mustang GT is intended for use on racetracks only. 

Ford Motor Company aims to please every customer, offering a variety of features to maximize everyone's driving experience. If you are looking to enhance your ride, stop by Delehanty Ford!
