The 2023 model lives up to these standards and delivers modern technology as well. Read on to discover why the Mustang is still such a popular car today. Powerful Performance The 2023 lineup starts off with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that delivers up to 310 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft of torque. This is hardly the V8 engine that Mustang is known for. However, the EcoBoost achieves 32 miles to the gallon on the highway when paired with an automatic transmission. This more fuel-efficient Mustang is still powerful, equipped with independent rear suspension, and makes an amazing modern choice. For the height of V8 power, consider the Mach 1. A 5.0-liter V8 engine delivers up to 450 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. You'll feel the engine roar in today's leading muscle car. Exterior Style Every model of the Mustang includes all-LED front lighting for improved illumination of the road ahead. This includes signature lighting, projector high beams, low beams, and turn signals. For extra style, drivers can add an available over-the-top racing stripe in either ebony or white. You can also add a blade decklid spoiler to the mix. Interior Design A leather-wrapped steering wheel pairs nicely with the leather-wrapped parking brake handle for comfort and style. Your steering wheel includes audio controls, making it easy to skip songs without any distractions. A comfortable bucket seat has four-way manual controls for the driver. This can be upgraded to a six-way power driver's seat with power lumbar control, for enhanced comfort. Safety Assist Technology Ford Co-Pilot360 includes a suite of standard safety-assistive features to give drivers more confidence on the road. Your modern features start with a rearview camera and rain-sensing windshield wipers, two features giving you a clear view. A pre-collision assist feature is paired with automatic emergency braking. Your lane-keeping system will send you alerts and then gently steer the vehicle back into your lane when you begin to drift. Available adaptive cruise control will maintain the following distance you set. Your Mustang will either speed up or slow down without any necessary action on your part. Infotainment Six speakers are well-balanced in the standard Mustang. To upgrade that experience, drivers can choose an available nine-speaker sound system with an amplifier. You can control your music using the vehicle's touchscreen. This is also where you can control the available voice-activated navigation system with pinch-to-zoom capability. If you're looking for a powerful car that's fun to drive, you've found it. The Mustang's excellent selection of trims lives up to the model's long-held reputation as a stunning and powerful car.

With a number of fantastic performance and comfort features, you can be sure that the Ford Bronco is here to impress. Read on to learn about our five favorite features of the 2023 Ford Bronco. 1. Trim Levels The 2023 Bronco has a staggering ten trim levels. This allows you to choose the perfect Bronco to fit your needs without paying for features that aren't a priority for you.

Off-Road Accessories The Bronco is configurable with countless accessories and features to make your off-road adventures a success. Options include a front-mounted winch, kayak roof rack, tailgate storage bags, snorkel, terrain management system, and more. Having these tools available through the manufacturer is a huge advantage, as most SUV owners are forced to upgrade their vehicles at third-party custom shops that can't offer a manufacturer's warranty. 3. Flexibility The Bronco is available as a 2-door SUV that seats four or a 4-door SUV that seats five. Roofs are available as hard tops or soft tops and can be removed, as can the doors. This means you can drive your 2023 Bronco as a convertible or cruise the beach with the doors off. Enjoying the weather according to your specific taste is part of what makes the Bronco the perfect SUV for outdoor lovers. 4. Manual Transmission Many legacy off-road SUVs have lost their third pedal, but not the Ford Bronco. Many trim levels are available with a Getrag seven-speed manual transmission paired with an EcoBoost 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. The gearbox includes a "crawler" gear, designated by a C on the shift knob, perfect for off-roading at very slow speeds. 5. Great Tech Just because you're going off-road doesn't mean you want to ditch your technology. The 2023 Bronco keeps you connected with SYNC 4. Integrating with your smartphone, SYNC 4 provides your Bronco with real-time traffic and weather updates, so you always know the quickest and safest way to get where you're going. The Ford Bronco name has been a respected mainstay of American SUVs for decades, and the 2023 Bronco is truly a worthy member of the family.

Ford vehicles are some of the most popular options on the market, and it's not hard to see why. They come from a trustworthy brand and are built to be reliable and durable. If you're in the market for a new or used vehicle, then you need to consider getting car financing from your Ford dealer. 1. Your Trade-In Could Lower Your Monthly Payments If you're like most people, when you shop for a new vehicle, you probably have an old one that you need to get rid of. When you get an auto loan from a dealership, your trade-in can be used as a down payment, which can help lower your monthly payments. Not only does your trade-in make buying a new car more affordable, but you also don't have to stress about getting rid of it. That is an extra bonus that can make the car-buying process even better. 2. You May Qualify for Dealer Incentives When you get an auto loan from the dealership, you may qualify for dealer incentives. Depending on the type of vehicle you're trying to buy, the time of the year, and your life status (whether you're a military veteran or a student), the incentives you could get include rebates or special financing, including 0% APR. Securing financing through a dealer is the best way to get these extra incentives, which can make buying a vehicle even more affordable. 3. You Can Get a Loan Term that Works for You No two car buyers are the same, and getting an auto loan that works for your unique situation is beneficial. When it comes to dealer financing, Ford offers a variety of options that will work for you. Whether you're looking for a specific loan term, including one that is as short as 12 months or one as long as 84 months, you'll find the payment options that will work for your monthly budget. 4. The Process Is Faster Dealerships work with a lot of different lenders, which means that when you're looking for a loan, all you have to do is fill out one application and wait for an answer. In some cases, you may know how much money you qualify for in a few hours. The sooner you get the auto loan, the sooner you can drive away in a new vehicle. Buying the car of your dreams should be an affordable and cost-effective endeavor, and it can be when you get auto financing from a dealership. If you're ready to see what you qualify for (and to find your next vehicle), visit Bob Maxey Ford in Detroit today!

Oil changes are a great way to keep your car running smoothly. Getting your oil changed regularly can make a real difference and is easy to do. Here are a few reasons to bring your car in for a Ford oil change. Engine Life The oil in your engine is critical to its performance and longevity. If you don't change it regularly—or if you use poor-quality oil in your vehicle—you could end up with an expensive repair bill. That's because worn-out oil doesn't lubricate as well as new, clean oil, leading to engine problems over time. The good news is that changing your oil regularly will keep your engine healthy, so you won't have to worry about spending money on repairs down the line. Fuel Economy One of the biggest benefits of an oil change is that it helps your car run more efficiently. If you wait too long between appointments, it can mean that your car's engine isn't running as well as it should be. During a Bob Maxey Ford oil service, we'll clean out any sludge and change out your old oil. Dirty oil means your car won't be getting as many miles out of every gallon of gas. It also means wear and tear on your engine and more money on repairs down the line! Get an oil change regularly if you don't want to spend extra money on gas or have to keep replacing parts because they're wearing out faster than they should be. Cooling the Engine Your engine needs to run at a specific temperature to perform at its best. If the engine runs too hot or too cold, things can start breaking down, leading to more serious issues down the road. Keep an eye on your oil level! Oil helps keep the engine from getting too hot or cold by acting as a heat sink. When your oil level gets low enough that its ability to absorb heat starts being compromised, that's when you enter the danger zone! Reduces Emissions When you get your oil changed, you're not only caring for your car but also helping the environment. Every time you drive your car, it emits harmful gases into the air. These emissions cause air pollution and contribute to climate change. Dirty engine oil is particularly harmful, with noxious gas released into the atmosphere. However, if you get your oil changed regularly, it reduces the emissions released into the atmosphere. Since fresh oil burns cleaner than dirty oil, the more often you change your oil, the better. If you're unsure when you should get an oil change, we recommend checking your owner's manual or calling our service department. If you do need an oil change, schedule an appointment at Bob Maxey Ford! We'll make sure that everything is taken care of and have you on your way right away. And don't forget to check out our website for any service specials! Image by Alexander Fox | PlaNet Fox from Pixabay

It has many of the touches from the original Mustangs from the pony on the front grille to the rear taillights. It comes in 13 colors with the addition of Eruption Green and Mischievous Purple. Interior All Mustang models seat four people except for the Shelby GT 500, which seats two. The classic 2+2 focuses on front passenger comfort.
