Elk Grove Ford

Here at Elk Grove Ford, serving drivers in the greater Sacramento area, if there's one 2013 Ford model we are most looking forward to, it's the 2013 Ford Escape. The SUV is already widely popular, and we think its appeal will continue to grow, particularly if the pre-order numbers continue to climb higher and higher.

As Ford is in the process of reinventing its next-generation with upgrades in look, design, and performance, we've seen fresh looks for many new Ford models that have hit our lot here at Elk Grove Ford. The Ford Explorer on the other hand, has seen minor upgrades over the last few years, but it has never gotten that performance upgrade it deserves, which is why we're happy to hear that the wait is over, as Ford announced plans for the new 2013 Ford Explorer Sport edition.

With prices soaring at the gas pump, reaching up to $4.00 or more per gallon, saving money on gas is a priority among drivers in Elk Grove, Sacramento, and beyond. Ford is well aware of this, which is why it has developed many fuel-efficient vehicles in its lineup, ranging from the 2012 Ford Fiesta to the Ford Focus, and even the Fusion Hybrid equipped with a roomier interior. But what about those out there who want to save on gas, still have the room inside the cabin, without buying a hybrid? Well, Ford has the solution.

The Ford Focus is one fuel efficient ride, and you won't find anyone here at Elk Grove Ford who'll argue otherwise. But the American automaker does have plans to make it even less dependent on fuel, at least overseas. In Europe, Ford is planning to release a variant of the Focus that's equipped with a 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine, the likes of which produces the same amount of horsepower as a 1?

At the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, Ford made a fairly big announcement concerning the production at their Torrence Ave. assembly plant in Illinois. Specifically, the American automaker will be ramping up production of special-edition variants of the Ford Taurus and Explorer. What will be so special about them? They're going to be police Interceptor variants, that's what.

We here at Elk Grove Ford think that this is fantastic news, as law enforcement agencies…

When you come to Elk Grove Ford, you can rest assured that you won't pay astronomically-high prices for vehicles like the Ford Shelby GT500. We know that even this limited-edition Mustang isn't worth $300,000. But someone out there did pay about that much for theirs. Why? We have the answer, and it's a good one!

The money that one lucky buyer shelled out wasn't for just any Shelby GT500. It…

When we here at Elk Grove Ford think about the Ford Escape, we immediately conjure up images of a smooth ride, plenty of space, and superb handling. Another image that Ford wants us to dwell upon too is a quiet one. See, the American automaker is implementing a new elliptical acoustic mirror into the Escape next year, and it promises to reduce the noise that many drivers complain about when behind the wheel of most…

We here at Elk Grove Ford know that every automaker wants a certain image to go along with their vehicle. Whether that image is efficiency, performance, raw power, utility, or style, we know that no one does a better job with imbuing their lineup with that image than Ford. Take for instance, the Ford Explorer, which recently helped Pastor Russell Sterger and his friends explore the Grand Canyon.

More specifically Pastor Sterger was the winner…

While we here at Elk Grove Ford love the power and style of the current Ford Mustang, we also know that there's a certain unmistakable classic flare about one of its siblings from yesteryear. We have a strong feeling that there are more than a few drivers in the greater Elk Grove area and beyond who feel the same way too, as Ford recently made the lives of DIY vehicle restoration enthusiasts a bit…

The lesson to take away from today's post is to know who you're buying your next used car from. We here at Elk Grove Ford are always stressing the fact that it's better to buy your next preowned vheicle from a reputable source, and nothing proves it more than a story that's gaining more attention each day from Chattanooga, TN.
