Read Other Blog Entries Be A Travel Whiz Before take-off, pause, prepare, and don’t worry! The staff at Preston Ford has put together a Best Road Trip Supplies toolbox for your peace of mind. Browse over our road trip tips so you are equipped and up for any hurdles that cross your path. First Things First Ensuring everything is kosher beneath your hood is key to confidence on the road. Your engine is what is powering your trip and should be properly lubricated. Make sure all other fluid levels — such as coolant and windshield washer fluid — have been checked, and inspect the tread and pressure of your tires. Let our expert service technicians prime your ride for your next adventure! Best Road Trip Supplies While the new Ford models like the Ford Explorer, Ford Escape, Ford F-150, and all-new Ford Bronco, are packed with a spare tire and toolkit to fix a flat, it’s also smart to pack a first-aid kit. We advise assembling your own safety emergency kit complete with the best road trip supplies, such as jumper cables, flares, rope, water, snacks, and a blanket. Slow Your Roll You can save up to 30% on fuel mileage by maintaining a moderate speed and slowing down your acceleration speed to 15 seconds. Another way to save on the cost of gasoline is by ensuring the right tire pressure provided by your vehicle’s manufacturer, noted in your driver’s manual. Don’t wait until you reach E to refuel. Keep an eye out for gas stations once you hit a quarter tank. Always Stay Alert Last but not least on our Best Road Trip Supplies toolbox is to stay sharp and avoid highway fatigue! You want to scan the road for hazards, be cautious of aggressive drivers, and crack the window if you feel tired. We suggest taking breaks to stretch but avoid parking on the shoulder when possible. New Ford models are equipped with the best road trip supplies like on-road entertainment and access to maps. Make sure SYNC® is connected to Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto™ so you can listen to music en route to your destination. Preston Ford wants you to stay safe on your travels. If you are close by and need help, call 1-888-TOW-FROG for roadside assistance!

Shop Ford Models Today Towing 101 Towing involves the need for three elements to be in sync: the driver, the vehicle, and the trailer. Becoming an expert at towing takes practice, patience, and tips from those who have years of experience. The professionals at Preston Ford know their stuff when it comes to safe and proper towing. Our dealership is brimming with vehicles equipped to tow, so study our trailer towing safety guide below, then give us a call if you have any specific questions. Hitching the Unit The proper hitch for the trailer is an integral part of trailer towing safety. Check your trailer’s owner’s manual to determine the appropriate hitch system or contact our team to ensure a secure connection. Your next line of defense is to assure the chain is correctly attached. Loading Up Securely Equal weight distribution allows for easier control of your trailer. A general rule of thumb is to balance the weight both front-and-rear and side-to-side, as it is vital for securing your cargo. Improper securing of cargo may cause your trailer to sway or induce stress, not to mention the loss of your valued goods. Regular Maintenance Before towing, be sure your trailer and its many components are working safely. You can assure trailer towing safety and longevity by inspecting its operation routinely. Check for optimized steering, speed, and braking components. Compliance Verification As a trailer owner, the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) requires consumers, dealers, and manufacturers to guarantee compliance with trailer towing safety standards through its Compliance Verification Program. Successfully participating and completing the program that emphasizes industry best practices is a mandatory component of NATM membership. Ideal Combinations Be sure to understand your vehicle’s tow rating. For example, when you equip the new Ford F-150 with an all-new hybrid V6 engine, you have a max towing capacity of at least 12,000 lbs. The Ford Expedition has a best-in-class tow rating of 9,300 lbs. when outfitted with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. Depending on your trailer's size and load, you may require the massive strength of a Ford Super Duty. Visit Preston Ford today! We are your home for trailer towing safety!

These record-breaking models stampeded the scene for over a decade until the second generation (1978-1979) evolved to a larger body-style, offering more luxurious features and sharing components with F-Series trucks. From 1980 to 1986, the third-generation Ford Bronco boasted a better fuel economy and a smoother ride without compromising its capability. Generation 4 (1987-1991) enters the "Aerodynamic Age," while the fifth and final Ford Bronco generation made advances in safety and refined its original body style.
