Exploring the 2015 Ford Edge

Looking for a new car?

Perhaps the 2015 Ford Edge is the vehicle for you.

From its sculpted curves to its athletic stance, the exterior is designed to help you make an entrance.

But there’s much more to it than just a pretty face.

The Edge Sport with the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost delivers the pickup, horsepower and torque to keep you in the fast lane.

Available adaptive steering will give you confidence with every turn.

Available advanced technology – like ultrasonic sensors – detect vehicles and objects in your blind spots while a front-facing camera gives you a peek around corners at slow speeds.

The available Lane-Keeping System uses a forward-facing camera to scan the road ahead. Drift out of your lane, and the steering wheel vibrates and actively applies steering torque to alert you to steer your vehicle back into the lane.

An available Blind Spot Information System uses two hidden rear radar sensors to warn you of vehicles entering your blind spot on either side. And cross-traffic alert warns you of vehicles you can’t see when you’re slowly backing out of a parking space.

Available adaptive cruise control can detect traffic slowing ahead and automatically slow your vehicle. When traffic has cleared, the vehicle resumes your set speed.

The 2015 Ford Edge uses its available system of ultrasonic systems to help you in nearly all parking situations – perpendicular parking, parallel parking, parking garages and more.

Available Enhanced Active Park Assist adds the ability for Edge to help you with perpendicular parking too. Utilizing the vehicle’s 12 ultrasonic sensors, Edge will scan for suitable parking spaces, and will assist in backing the vehicle into the spot. All you have to do is shift, accelerate and brake, and Edge will take care of the steering.

While driving slowly near parking spots, simply activate this feature and it scans for available parking spots. Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance to the curb and other parked cars. Once a big enough spot is identified, you’re signaled to stop and accept the system’s assistance. Just control the shifting, accelerating, and braking.

The Edge is always ready to steer you out of a tight parallel parking spot with available park out assist. When you’re wedged into a parallel parking spot, simply press the button and the system will give you reassuring instructions on shifting as well as moving forward and back while Edge steers you out. Just accelerate and brake.

With the available Side Parking Sensor, you can stay aware of your surroundings. The Edge has your back, your front, and of course your sides – warning you when the vehicle becomes too close to objects.

At slow speeds, the Edge helps you see around corners, down alleys and even while you’re pulling out of parking spots, thanks to the available 180º camera tucked in the grille.

The Edge is equally adept at keeping you in touch orhelping you get away from it all.

Stay connected to your world with hands-free calling, voice-activated entertainment, customizable instrument cluster screens, and touch-screen controls.

You will also enjoy home theater-type audio with 390 watts of continuous power through the combination of 12 speakers and subwoofers.

Sounds good, right?

Tips for Buying a New Car

Buying a new car can be a stressful process, but it doesn’t have to be.

We at Monaco Ford have some tips for you.

Have a goal. Come to the dealership with a goal, know what you want so you buy a vehicle because of the rule, not the exception.

However, you want to make smart decisions. You come in thinking you have all the information you need to get into the vehicle you want. Our sales staff may have more information to get you into a better vehicle that fits your lifestyle, so be open-minded.

You need time to put together the correct ingredients to buy the right vehicle that fits your lifestyle, and we’re ready to spend time with you and get you into the correct vehicle that fits you.

Take a thorough test drive to make sure you’ll be happy for the long term. Take extra time with the car parked to adjust the seats and experiment with the controls and the car's other features. Make sure all of your typical passengers and cargo fit well and the passengers are comfortable. Also think about whether or not this vehicle will suit your needs in the future in terms of people and cargo.

Also, when you’re here, ask for any special rebates that may apply to you, including a student discount or an active military discount.

We want to make sure you end up in the right car.  You could wind up an unhappy car owner if you haven't thought carefully about how many people and how much luggage or gear you need to carry.

You’ll also want to decide whether a new or used car is best for you. Cars are built better now than in the past, so used cars or certified used cars may make a lot of sense for you.

2015 Ford F-150 Not to Be Missed

It’s just about time to start thinking about the 2015 model year and the 2015 F-150 is one model you won’t want to miss.

It’s projected to be our most efficient F-150 yet and we set out to make the toughest, safest, smartest Ford F-150 yet. The all-new F-150 is designed to deliver more towing and hauling capability than the previous generation and with the technology to do it with confidence.

The high-strength, military grade, aluminum alloy in the new F-150 does not produce red rust like steel, and we’ve gone to great lengths to develop coatings that will inhibit corrosion.

Through years of innovation and refinement, our engineers have devised a way to join its high-strength-steel frame together with its all-new body and bed, which are constructed using high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys.

The all-new F-150 will benefit from the truck itself being lighter, which will translate into higher payload and towing ratings as well as enhanced driving dynamics.

A 2.7L EcoBoost engine joins a comprehensive lineup of choices to meet every need. The numbers are in at 325 horsepower, 375 lb.-ft. of torque, a max payload of 2,250 pounds and 8,500 pounds max towing.

The 3.5LV6 TI-VCT FFV engine delivers 282 horsepower and 253 lb.-ft. of torque for a max payload of 1,910 pounds and max towing capacity of 7,600 pounds. Its twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) automatically adjusts intake and exhaust for enhanced efficiency.

The 3.5L EcoBoost engine is rated a best-in-class 12,200 pounds of towing with 365 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. This available workhorse has been proven tough after years on the job and with more than 400,000 EcoBoost-equipped F-150 trucks out on the road.

The 5.0LV8 FFV engine is trusted eight-cylinder power that delivers a best-in-class payload rating of 3,300 pounds, over a half ton more than its nearest competitor. It’s performance is made possible by 385 horsepower and 387 lb.-ft. of torque, yet it’s surprisingly efficient.

When it comes to technology, there is a new, available 8-Inch Productivity Screen that is larger and more convenient. It has tabs that make navigation between screens easy and is command central for your truck, right in front of you.

Depending on the trim level, some of the available technology for the 2015 F-150 includes adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with brake support, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, lane-keeping system, a 360 Camera with Split-view Display and Dynamic Hitch Assist, and Reverse Sensing System.

You could also get active park assist, BLIS with cross-traffic alert, Quad beam LED headlamps and taillamps, LED security approach lamps, LED side-mirror spotlights, LED box lighting, ambient lighting, Remote Start System, remote tailgate release, and 110v/400w inverter outlets (up to two).

And there’s more. There’s SYNC with MyFord (4.2-inch LCD screen in center stack), Crew Chief powered by Telogis, inflatable rear safety belts, power-deployable running boards, auto high beams, rain-sensing windshield wipers, SecuriCode keyless entry keypad, and power-adjustable pedals.

On the 2015 Ford F-150, the 60 percent side of the 60/40 rear seat folds to reveal a storage bin. A pull-out bin is beneath the middle front seat of the 40/20/40 configuration.

Speaking of seats, there is seating for six available on SuperCrew and SuperCab models with 40/20/40 seating configurations and with a variety of power control options.

It really comes full circle when we win this award. We know that we’re making our customers happy.

You guys make us so happy, so we’re glad that we can return the favor!

President's Award Thank You from Nick Monaco on Vimeo.

Taking a Look at the 2015 Ford Fusion

There are sedans, and then there are sedans like the 2015 Ford Fusion.

The 2015 Ford Fusion offers multiple engine choices, hybrid efficiency, technology, comfort, and style. It is all about details.

The 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid has an EPA-estimated rating of 44 mile per gallon city, 41 mile per gallon highway, and 42 mile per gallon combined. It has a 2.0L I-4 Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine that delivers 188 combined horsepower.

At speeds up to 85 miles per hour, the vehicle can travel in electric mode. To help you drive more efficiently, next-generation SmartGauge with EcoGuide acts as a driving coach, providing real-time driving feedback, courtesy of screens on either side of the center-mounted speedometer.

Left-side display screens include Engage and Empower modes, providing a variety of real-time information to help you get the most efficiency from your vehicle. You can track the powertrain’s operation – hybrid drive, electric drive, gas engine, plus instant and average fuel economy.

The Fusion Energi Plug-In Hybrid is a progressive hybrid that provides the option of plugging in or not. The vehicle is designed to be efficient, thanks a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery and electric motor with a gasoline engine. The battery provides enough power to operate in all-electric mode for commutes of an EPA-estimated range of up to 19 miles.

With plug-in capability, you can fully charge the battery overnight using a 120-volt outlet. There is also an available 240-volt home charging station that provides a full recharge in approximately 2.5 hours. When fully charged, the EPA-estimated gas plus electric driving range is 550 miles.

When the battery is depleted or when more power is needed, the vehicle functions as a traditional gas-electric hybrid. It also features a Regenerative Braking System, allowing it to capture the braking energy and store it for later use.

The available EcoBoost in-line four-cylinder engines combine three different technologies – turbocharging, direct injection, and twin independent variable cam timing to enhance both performance and efficiency.

Want efficiency?

Active Grille Shutters can help improve efficiency by altering the shutters behind the grille. Located between the grille opening and the radiator, the shutters are electronically controlled by the engine control module. They open or close to help maintain the ideal engine operating temperature. When less engine cooling is needed, the shutters close to help improve aerodynamics. This is standard on hybrid and Fusion Energi Plug-In Hybrid models.

In the 2015 Ford Fusion, you can reduce vehicle emissions with available Auto Start-Stop. When the vehicle comes to a stop in city driving, the engine is automatically shut off. The engine seamlessly restarts the instant your foot leaves the brake pedal. This is available on the Fusion SE with the available 1.5L I-4 EcoBoost engine and 17-inch wheels.

The Fusion features a MacPherson front suspension and multilink independent rear suspension. This helps provide a smooth ride in straightaways and a balanced, nimble ride when the Fusion goes around a corner or curve.

Electric power-assisted steering automatically adjusts to deliver precise feel and control at higher speeds, and the required assistance at slower speeds when needed. EPAS features drift control and active nibble control. Drift control technology detects road conditions – such as a crowned road surface or crosswinds – and adjusts the EPAS to compensate.

The active nibble control feature uses the EPAS motor to reduce unwanted vibrations in the steering wheel. The result is a comfortable driving experience and responsive steering.

Available Intelligent AWD uses sensors to constantly monitor traction. It balances torque between the front and rear wheels to enhance handling and maximize traction, typically before wheelslip can even occur. This is available on SE and Titanium gas models equipped with the EcoBoost 2.0L engine.

Using race-inspired technology, the available steering wheel-mounted paddles in the 2015 Ford Fusion provide an engaged driving experience by letting you easily and quickly go from gear to gear without taking your hands off the steering wheel.

Driver-friendly, available convenience features help you maintain proper lane position, parallel park your vehicle with hardly any input on your part, and even warn you of vehicles in your blind spot.

Some of the other technology includes a standard rear view camera, SYNC Voice-Activated technology, available inflatable second-row safety belts, available BLIS with cross-traffic alert, available adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning, and available intelligent access with push-button start.

Nowhere is the attention to detail more apparent than in the stylish Fusion interior. The SE Luxury Package includes finely crafted leather upholstery and heated, power front seats. The dashboard and center stack have a contemporary, clean look. To help you find your optimal driving position, the driver’s seat features power adjustment. Passenger seating is supportive, including ample rear leg room.

Sounds pretty impressive, right?

Finding Your Commercial Vehicle at Monaco Ford

You own your own business and you’re hardworking and reliable. You want a vehicle that can say the same things.

At Monaco Ford, we have a number of commercial vehicles that can help you get the job done.

One such vehicle is the Transit Connect.

The Transit Connect is engineered and purpose-built with one goal in mind – helping you stay productive. All Transit Connect models will offer a class-leading maximum payload of 1,710 pounds and best-in-class towing capacity of 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.

You can choose from van or wagon models in long- and short-wheelbase configurations with a wide range of upfit options.

To make loading and unloading cargo easier, dual sliding side doors are standard. And to help you stay in control of your fleet, available Crew Chief, powered by Telogis, provides real-time alerts on a wide range of driver and vehicle metrics.

The Transit Connect knows how to work hard, which allows you to work smart.

The Ford Transit is a major transformation of the full-size van you’ve been accustomed to driving. Configure a Transit cargo van or passenger wagon with the combination of box length and height for the cargo volume/payload or passenger capacity you need.

The all-new 2015 Ford Transit is engineered to ultra-stringent Ford commercial truck standards for durability – and built to exceed what you’ve come to expect from the leader in full-size vans.

Accommodating up to 15 passengers and providing ample cargo space for their luggage or gear, the E-Series Wagon is up to the task. No wonder the E-Series Wagon has been America’s favorite full-size van for 34 years running.

We also have an Econoline Cargo Van on hand for all of your commercial needs.

Ford E-Series Cutaway Vans deliver the capability you need for your business application or recreational activity. Properly equipped, the E-350 and E-450 can tow up to 10,000 lbs. With innovative technologies - the available integrated trailer brake controller, for example - you’ll not only have one hardworking van, but one that works smart too.

And don’t forget, you can always use our Ford trucks – the F-150 and the Super Duty trucks – for commercial purposes.

The F-150 can haul more cargo (maximum 3,120 pounds) than any of its competitors and has huge Class V trailer towing capability (maximum 11,300 pounds).

With a rugged fully boxed frame as the foundation of its Built Ford Tough engineering, the F-150 is tested under the harshest real-world conditions to deliver the capability you expect, day in and day out.

The Ford Super Duty offers a standard 6.2L V8 with best-in-class gas horsepower and torque. And for applications calling for the unique severe-duty strength and dependability of a diesel, the next generation of the Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 for 2015 delivers higher performance ratings than ever.

I know we don’t want to think about it, but winter is coming. Our trucks can be used with plows to make sure that your streets, parking lots, and driveways stay clean and clear this winter.

Don’t forget, we service all of these commercial vehicles with the same kind of care that we use when servicing your personal vehicles.

The Ford Explorer vs. the Mazda CX-9

Need to transport the whole family and want to do it in style?

You may be comparing the 2014 Ford Explorer and the Mazda CX-9.

The 2014 Ford Explorer XLT is garnering considerable attention and, when compared to the 2014 Mazda CX-9, the benefits are clear.

The most attractive characteristic of this Ford Explorer is its impressive combination of performance, safety, aesthetic appeal, and passenger comfort.

There are many attributes that set this Ford Explorer XLT apart from the 2014 Mazda CX-9. In regards to accessories, the 2014 Ford Explorer XLT has it all – including a complete security system, heated mirrors, satellite radio, fog lamps, automatic headlights, a rear parking aid, entertainment system, back up camera, and power lift gate. The Ford Explorer XLT also has a dual or single moon roof/sun roof option.

The interior of the Ford Explorer also has more passenger volume to offer than the Mazda CX-9. Passengers will enjoy several additional inches of shoulder, hip, head, and leg room throughout the vehicle. Also, there is over four feet of additional cargo space in the Ford Explorer XLT.

Unlike the 2014 Mazda CX-9, the 2014 Ford Explorer XLT can be equipped with a 4-cylinder engine if you’d prefer – and can also be turbocharged. Flex fuel capability along with front and rear performance tires are more great features that set this Ford Explorer apart. Also, with better fuel economy and higher horsepower than the 2014 Mazda CX-9, you’re likely to get more for your money with the 2014 Ford Explorer XLT.

While the 2014 Ford Explorer XLT comes with safety features like air child safety locks, traction control and all-around airbags, there are a few additional safety features that the Mazda CX-9 doesn’t offer. These include integrated turn signal mirrors or a blind spot monitor.

The driver of a 2014 Ford Explorer XLT will enjoy a power seat and driver adjustable lumbar. Leather seats throughout are also a nice touch.

The Ford F150, F250, and F350

We all know that Ford trucks are capable, durable, and are used by millions of people.

But do you know all about the F150, F250, and F350?

The F-150 can haul more cargo (maximum 3,120 pounds) than any of its competitors and has huge Class V trailer towing capability (maximum 11,300 pounds). With a rugged fully boxed frame as the foundation of its Built Ford Tough engineering, the F-150 is tested under the harshest real-world conditions to deliver the capability you expect, day in and day out.

The F-150 continues its tradition of delivering the best-in-class maximum payload capability of 3,120 pounds. And that’s not all. The available tailgate step and box side steps, both class-exclusive features, provide easy access to all that payload.

Corner too quickly or swerve to avoid an object and Roll Stability Control automatically employs its two gyroscopic sensors to measure vehicle roll and turning rates, then selectively applies individual brakes and modifies engine power to help keep all four wheels firmly planted. And it all happens instantaneously, faster than you can blink an eye.

Trailer sway control builds on the AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control system to help maintain trailer control through selective braking and adjusted engine power. The result is noticeable stability and control, which provides greater driver confidence when towing large loads.

The electronic-locking rear differential, when engaged, locks the rear axle completely to provide enhanced traction at both rear wheels at the same time. The electronic-locking rear differential is fully integrated with the AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control system to deliver excellent control when traveling on- or off-road. It’s standard on the FX4, SVT Raptor and Limited, included in the Off-Road Package, and available on all other 4x2 and 4x4 models.

The F-150 offers an available fully integrated trailer brake controller. This first-in-class feature synchronizes vehicle and trailer brakes for seamless braking (even with the heaviest loads) to provide added driving control and confidence.

The extensive use of high-strength steel, high-performance components and computer-aided engineering goes into producing the rugged frame that’s the backbone of the Built Ford Tough F-150. Collapsible front horns offer occupant protection by absorbing crash energy to help prevent intrusion into the cabin. The frame is fully boxed from front to rear with extensive use of high-strength steel.

All crossmembers are fully boxed for lateral rigidity and to allow for frame flex. When the frame is more rigid, the suspension can perform better. Crossmembers go through the frame and are welded on both the outside and inside for a strong connection. The center crossmember contributes to outstanding towing and is lowered to allow for a flat load floor.

Pickups are often called on to carry big loads under a variety of driving conditions. That’s why Ford engineers gave the F-150 a wide-track Hotchkiss-design rear suspension. The 2-stage, 64.5-inch leaf springs enhance lateral compliance, while the 3-inch width of the springs provides excellent cornering and control when towing.

What’s more, the shocks are mounted outboard of the frame rails to reduce body lean and enhance cornering control.

More than ever, with today’s high prices at the pump, you need to operate as efficiently as possible, but not at the expense of power. That’s why the Ford F-150 offers the available 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine, designed with direct-injection technology and twin turbocharging to optimize power and fuel economy.

Need something a little bigger? Consider the F250 or F350 Super Duty trucks.

The Ford Super Duty engine is a new, larger turbocharger for greater on-demand performance. The surface area of the compressor vane is larger for exhaust gases to turn the compressor, permitting lower boost pressure and eliminating the wastegate.

A new fuel pump and injectors for more power and reduced emissions and a new temperature control system allows for enhanced turbo efficiency and performance.

The graphite iron engine block is stronger yet lighter than cast iron. Aluminum cylinder heads with precision dual water jackets reduce weight and improve cooling. The high-pressure common-rail induction system delivers up to five injections per combustion cycle for optimum throttle response and fuel efficiency, as well as reduced noise, vibration and harshness. Instant-start glow plugs provide quick start-ups, even at extremely low temperatures.

The trucks offer a standard 6.2L V8 with best-in-class gas horsepower and torque. And for applications calling for the unique severe-duty strength and dependability of a diesel, the next generation of the Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 for 2015 delivers higher performance ratings than ever. When you need power on demand, the next generation of the available Ford-built 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel generates more than ever.

The standard 6.2L gas V8 and available 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 are engineered for power and efficiency. For diesel fuel economy, the Power Stroke is best-in-class. While these engines are light in weight, they’re big in towing, hauling, torque, horsepower and all-around toughness. The state-of-the-art emissions system of the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 combines industry-proven technology and Ford-designed innovations to exceed the latest federal emissions standards.

Compressed natural gas and liquid propane gas are becoming increasingly popular choices for those looking to help cut fuel costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why the 6.2L V8-powered Super Duty offers the CNG/LPG Gaseous Engine Prep Package. Included are hardened exhaust valves and valve seats for improved wear resistance and durability for gaseous fuel systems.

The powerful 6.2L V8 is flex-fuel capable, so you can run on unleaded gasoline, E85 (up to 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline), or any mix of the two. Fuel injection and spark timing are adjusted according to the blend detected by electronic sensors. Also, the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 is B20 (biodiesel) capable.

Delivering huge towing capability didn’t satisfy the Ford engineers who worked to make the 2015 Super Duty not just more capable, but the best in its class.

The F-350 dual-rear-wheel 4x4s offer a new High-Capacity Trailer Tow Package with features such as a wide-track front axle.

Trailer sway control builds on the AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control system to help maintain trailer control through selective braking and adjusted engine power. The result is noticeable stability and control, which provides greater driver confidence when towing large loads.
