From our Friends @Ford
Memorial Day markets the start of a busy travel season here in the East. As thousands prepare to head to our region’s beautiful beaches and travel destinations, travelers should anticipate paying high prices as the fuel pump. Here in the East, fuel economy is the number one purchase consideration of those shopping for a new vehicle.
With this in mind, Ford engineers have been dedicated to crafting vehicles that maximize fuel efficiency and dependability and more so than every before, dealers across the country are excited about the fuel efficient line-up that they are bringing to their customers. From our innovative Focus Electric to our all-new 2013 Escape, we know consumers will like what Ford has to offer. The all new Ford Escape, which hits the road this year, is the smarter utility vehicle. It brings America’s SUV-loving customers the versatility they crave, the technologies they desire and the highway fuel economy that, until now, they’ve only dreamed of – all wrapped in a modern design.

incorporate new venting technology. The class exclusive adaptive vent in
the side airbag takes into account the size of the occupant
and varies the pressure so a smaller occupant gets a lower pressure.
