Ford Going Green

Posted on April 20, 2015 by admin

When you buy a Ford at Johnson Brothers Ford, keep in mind that Ford is doing its part in making the world greener by creating vehicles that are sustainable. Instead of saving money by building cars in the typical fashion, the Ford Motor Company is building more vehicles with different materials; and the company is building hybrid vehicles.

As a matter of fact, Ford topped the ranking of Best Global Green Brands in 2014. The auto manufacturer earned the Number 1 spot on Interbrand’s 50 Best Global Green Brands, an annual list that looks at green companies. Ford Motor Company received high marks in several areas, including transparency about its business operations. The company also received high marks for disclosure of performance information.

Ford continues to improve every year. In 2013, the company came in second on the list. In 2012, it ranked 15^th. Because Ford is committed to sustainability, it received the top spot because of its forward-thinking approach to being responsible for the environment. Because Ford focuses on water, waste reduction and green building efforts, the company is highly recognized as a green company.

According to Robert Brown, the vice president of Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering for Ford, the company is “working to develop the highest-quality products in the market for our customers while manufacturing them in the most environmentally responsible manner” on a global level.

Jez Frampton, Interbrand’s global chief executive officer said that “over the past few years, Ford has proven to be a sustainability leader.” Currently, Ford uses EcoBoost engines for efficiency and power; hybrid vehicles, which run on a gas engine and a battery-driven electric motor; plug-in hybrids, which are part gas and part electric; and all electric cars.

The EcoBoost engines make more horsepower with smaller engines, thus saving the amount of gas used. Hybrid vehicles run on the battery when possible and use the gas engine when more power is required or when the batteries need to be charged. A plug-in hybrid uses battery power then switches to the gas engine and/or uses the gas engine for more horsepower when it’s needed. And, the all electric vehicles do not have a gas engine.

The Weather Edge

Posted on March 17, 2015 by admin

If the Escape is too small and the Explorer is too big, Ford has the perfect vehicle for you: The 2015 Ford Edge, which will be available soon at Johnson Brothers Ford. This near-premium crossover features two rows, but since it is almost as big as many of the three-row utility vehicles out there, it has tons of room for five adults plus cargo.

The 2015 model year adds even more styling and capability – the two things that Edge fans love. Since many Edge fans love the styling, the interior and exterior were updated, but kept the major design cues. The new Edge is sleeker than the outgoing year and uses even more upscale materials.

Instead of copying other brands, exterior designer Kevin George decided to keep a lot of the Edge’s styling to create an updated version of the utility vehicle. The new Edge was designed to meet customers’ expectations, according to George.

The 2015 Ford Edge has additional features including heated seats and a heated steering wheel, plus a lift gate that opens with a swish of a leg, making this model great for winter driving. Additional features include cameras and park assist.

Since the 2015 model year is coming in March 2015 and the 2016 model year is expected to come out in late fall of 2015, this will be a short year for this model. The 2014 model year is also still available and has been at dealerships since November 2013.

Other changes include an improved electric power steering, active park assist, a hands-free lift gate, a premium multi-link rear suspension, softer interior materials and a new trim level: the Titanium. The Limited will no longer be available. The base engine is a 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 275 pound-feet of torque and 245 horsepower.

The Edge Sport will feature a new 2.7-liter turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine that makes 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. The engine is smaller than the outgoing 3.7-liter, but makes more power.

Anglers have discovered that the Amistad Reservoir provides top-class, year-round fishing. You can find both large-mouth and small-mouth bass along with the striped bass, catfish, crappie, sunfish and alligator gar. In order to help maintain a top-quality fishery, catch and release is encouraged and should be practiced.

There are many hiking trails available here. A short nature trail is located at Diablo East. Along the trail you can learn about a wide variety of plants stunning views of Lake Amistad..
