We're not quite prepared to deal with the changing of the seasons just yet here at Robert Horne Ford. That's why we're going to squeeze in a few more summer road trips with the exciting and fully capable 2017 Ford Escape.

If you're on the lookout for an exceptional vehicle for your loved ones but you're not interested in a minivan, then an SUV is the way to go and the 2017 Ford Explorer should be right at the top of your list! The Sanchez family in the video below certainly agree, as they love how it offers up to a maximum of 81.7 cubic feet of cargo space, the entertainment and connectivity of the SYNC infotainment system, a standard rearview camera, luxurious looks, and much more.

As gas prices tumble, more Arizona drivers are choosing trucks than ever before. If you can hold out for a few years, your options in the Ford lineup are about to expand. In 2019, the Ford Ranger is returning.

Last time we saw this smaller pickup, it was part of the compact segment. Though it's been gone from North America for several years, the nameplate has lived on and was redesigned for global markets. The new Ranger sold…

Have hefty prices at the pump been scaring you away from getting the truck you really want? You're in luck. As reported by CNN, gas prices this summer are on the decline and have already fallen lower than many in the fuel industry were predicting.

Next time you're on the road, keep an eye out for SUVs. Chances are you'll see more than you did even a few years ago. SUVs and crossovers have been growing in popularity for some time now and recent consumer data suggests that they're to stay. As reported by AutoNews.com, two-thirds of SUV owners bought new SUVs when car-shopping earlier this year. That level of loyalty is rare in the auto industry.

 

A road trip can be a great way to spend your time with family. How can a clean car help? It's easier to find stuff. That's the most obvious answer. You don't have to dig for maps, compact discs or a DVD. This can cause unwanted tension during driving. You also don't want to be digging for stuff while driving. Having everything organized can help.

Consider these 4 signs of a failing car battery:

1. The check-engine light used to flicker on and off, but now it stays on all the time when driving.
2. The headlights appear to be dimmer after you start the car in the morning.
3. When you pop the hood, you notice the battery…

There are many things that you need to have in a roadside emergency kit because you never know what could happen. The top three things to always have in your car include:

Clothes:
Clothes are always important because you never know the weather outside and it can change minute to minute. You should always have a minimum of four different outfits, one for summer, one for winter, one for fall, and one for spring.

Water:
Water is very important to always have in your car. It will keep you from getting dehydrated. Additionally, it can be used if your car…

We watch a lot of things in life. Some of us have to watch what we eat. We watch the clock when we've been at work all day and it's about quitting time. Watching how much fuel your vehicle is going through on your daily commute could really be something important to add to the list!

Simple practices such as checking and keeping your tires inflated properly, and watching how long you idle your car when warming it up, or sitting in the parking lot can really make a big difference. There are also many intricate details inside…
