Bergey's Ford Blog: Automotive Tips, News & Insights

Some vehicles are built to get around town having fun as you go, while others are made to move the family here and there. Then there are the trucks that are made to help you get work done. The 2018 Ford Super Duty is a pickup truck designed with features that help to get work done in a productive manner. 

The 2018 Super Duty comes with a feature set that the work enthusiast will appreciate. This includes the Sync3 system that comes with an impressive touchscreen and voice activation which have navigation features. 

What makes the new Ford Taurus such a popular full-size sedan? Here are a few technology features you will certainly appreciate.

The Ford Taurus comes loaded with the Blind Spot Information System for making traveling on the highway safer. If the system is able to scan around the car and detect another vehicle riding in your blind spot, the alert will be triggered for you to maintain your traveling lane until that car has moved on and it's safe to change lanes. 

The 2018 Taurus is also equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control. 

The Ford Mustang, one of the most popular sports cars in history, has been zooming around the roads of America for over 50 years. In that time the Mustang has continued to innovate and surprise, and the 2018 model is no exception. Featuring the latest in display technology and driving options, the new Mustang is a classic piece of American history with all of the modern luxuries drivers want today.

One of the biggest interior features to be added to this year's model is the first all-digital display to be put in a Mustang. 

The 2018 Ford Fusion is a practical and popular midsize sedan, combining refined comfort and impressive power. When you are choosing a new car, it is important to have many different engine options to choose from so you can find one that best suits your driving needs. The new Fusion offers a few different engine packages, including the speedy V6 Sport package.

Featuring a 2.7L Turbocharged EcoBoost engine, the V6 Sport edition of the Fusion can produce 325 hp and 380 lbs of torque. That is certainly enough power to make your daily commute a little more exciting. 

The Edge was initially featured by Ford as part of their 2007 collection. It has continued as a prominent fixture on the market for those who seek a sporty midsize SUV. The innovative styling offered by the Ford design team continues with the 2018 Ford Edge model. One of the design features includes the availability of the SEL Sport Appearance Package.

The aerodynamic styling of the Edge model’s exterior is completed with its smooth lines, an exclusive Ford grille design, and rear spoiler. Its 19-inch magnetic wheels perfect the look. 

Ford initially launched their third-row seating, full-size Flex SUV in 2009. This vehicle remains a popular choice for those seeking both style and roominess in an SUV design. One aspect of the innovative tailoring the 2018 Flex offers is leather and wood detail.

The perforated leather-trimmed seats provide an element of sophistication. Paired with the Ford Flex model's leather-wrapped steering wheel with wood inlay, it’s an elegant statement. The Yoho maple wood is continued throughout the interior with an instrument panel background and door inserts.

Your engine and your transmission both operate at high rates of speed. Your transmission contains large numbers of metal gears rotating quickly and clashing against one another. In the process, lots of heat is produced by the transmission components. This heat is absorbed by the transmission fluid, but if temperatures become too high, these components face serious damage.

To protect against this eventuality, designers created transmission fluid coolers. These devices can mount almost anywhere on a vehicle, but they most often appear inside of radiator inlet or outlet tanks. 

Have you ever noticed that your gear shift lever gives you problems? It doesn't matter whether you drive an automatic or manual transmission car. Your gear lever should give you a fairly smooth experience each time you use it. Anything less could indicate a transmission issue.

Older vehicles tend to have stiffer shift levers, but if you feel it actually grinding or fighting against you, then you could be working with a transmission that's not properly lubricated.
