Flexibility is an important factor in selecting an SUV; we demand a lot from these versatile vehicles. Redding, CA area drivers use SUVs for many essential things including local errands, daily commutes, getting around with kids, and long trips with boats or trailers. We at Crown Ford understand that an SUV plays an important role in work and recreation. The Expedition has design and flexibility to meet a wide range of situations.

Adaptability to the driver's needs is a factor that separates the Ford Expedition from the GMC Yukon and other full-sized SUVs. 

The new 2018 Ford Edge has engineered many attributes that make driving easier and more responsive. Consumers can choose either the 2.0 liter or 2.7 liter EcoBoost motor depending on their power needs. The driver who demands increased traction can select AWD on most trims, but the sport trim level has AWD as a standard feature.

Many accidents occur while parking, so Ford developed Park Assist that uses sensors to help drivers safely park even in tight spaces. Lane Keep utilizes the front camera to keep drivers in their lane. 

As part of the Ford brand’s model lineup for over 20 years, it comes as no surprise that the Ford Explorer is among the best-selling SUVs of all-time. The 2018 Ford Explorer continues this tradition in true Ford fashion. This year's model offers three different EcoBoost engines. The base model sports a 3.5-liter V6 that gets up to 24 mpg highway. There are two different EcoBoost engines that are optional: the fuel-efficient, turbo-charged 2.3-liter and the more powerful 3.5-liter V6.

The roomy, three-row Explorer SUV comfortably seats up to seven passengers.

When looking for new cars, sedans may have always appealed to you. However, sometimes space is an issue when it comes to shopping for one. You want a car where you won't have to worry about space being a problem when going on road trips. With the 2018 Ford Fusion, it'll seem like all your questions are answered about a sedan having more space. What else makes the Ford Fusion an excellent option for Redding, CA families?

The mid-sized sedan has two hybrid powertrains and a V6, ensuring that you have a top-quality ride.

Ford has a long and close relationship with the aftermarket product community, and that showed as the Ford Focus and Ford F-Series dominated this year's Specialty Equipment Market Association show (SEMA). Ford has won 15 out of the 33 Hottest Vehicle awards presented by SEMA since 2010.

For 2017, the Ford Focus was the Hottest Hatchback, and the F-Series was the Hottest truck for the seventh time out of the last eight years.

So you may be asking, what is SEMA and why should I care that they love Ford vehicles?

Anybody could get into a car accident. Even if you have car insurance to cover your vehicle after such events, you probably will have extensive costs left that you are responsible for if the vehicle is totaled. That's right; most car insurance policies do not pay any more than the current fair market value listed for your specific car. Even if your car is not that old, you could still be stuck with a big bill.
