Ford has always been a household name. No matter your preference in truck brands, one thing is for sure. You can’t argue with numbers and Ford’s F-series has come out on top for 32 years straight. They sold more trucks than Chevrolet last year with 763,402 over 480,414. Though both brands managed to increase their sales over the previous year, Ford still came out ahead. Why is this? Why are we seeing Ford skyrocket into the lead every year? The answer is simple.
Ford has the best in designs and innovations for their vehicles. When new technology comes out, they jump on making that technology part of their standard trucks and cars. Even more than technology though, they are figuring out how to make their trucks lighter while still reinforcing the strength they possess. In recent months, Ford announced they were rebuilding their F-series trucks with aluminum framing instead of the traditional steel. This major change is going to keep them ahead of the game for a lot of consumers by increasing fuel economy and overall safety.
The MyFord Sync infotainment systems have evolved over the years as well. From the basic Sync system to the Sync with MyFord Touch, it is there to help you out with navigation, emergency assistance and hands-free communication. This is available in many of the vehicle choices. There have even been incredible additions such as Active Park Assist to aid you in making parallel parking as easy as pushing a button.
The hands-free auto liftgate technology on their SUVs is also a handy feature to have when you have your hands full. A simple sensor and gentle tap with your foot opens the trunk hatch. In the not too distant future, they have even mentioned that ‘self-driving’ cars would be here before you know it. That is probably still a few years away but just knowing that Ford is moving forward with technology is exciting. The possibilities are endless and we can’t wait to see what will come out next.
All of these reasons is why Ford is still number one. Why look for any other car or truck? When you want the best, stop on by Johnson Brothers Ford. Our friendly and courteous staff is more than willing to assist you in choosing that perfect Ford for you.
