Elk Grove Ford

When it comes to leading the pack and taking care of "firsts," Ford is eager and willing. So we weren't too surprised when the auto brand announced it would be the first major automaker to open a showroom in the country of Myanmar.

Myanmar, also known as Burma, is located in Southeast Asia and like its neighboring countries of China and India, the nation boasts a rather large population. Though many people reside in…

This past January, Ford unveiled a concept pickup that wowed 2013 North American International Auto Show attendees. It felt like we only got a taste of the concept, named "Atlas," but our wondering minds are being satisfied for bit longer with the recent release of an in-depth look at the truck's evolution from ideas to implemented features.

The new Ford features new technologies and additions that ease the jobs, interests, and hobbies of pickup…

At Elk Grove Ford, we're big fans of April Fools' Day jokes and you'd be surprised at how many auto brands get in on the fun on the first of the month!  But we sure had the ultimate prank played on us by Ford, who reported its official trademarking of an odd name: "Inflatable Light Urban Vehicle (ILUV)." The punch line is that the trademark isn't a joke at all.

Ford really…

We've always been told to never judge a book by its cover, and we aren't going to start now with the reveal of Ford's Tourneo Courier at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show. Don't underestimate this little van, for it can seat up to five people, with plenty of space to spare. This fourth and final component to the new Ford Tourneo lineup is sure to fill the shoes of the family?

Going green isn't a temporary trend; it's a lifestyle that's here to stay. Recycling and reusable bags are little ways that we in the greater Sacramento area have done to start reducing our carbon footprint. We aren't the only ones adopting an environmentally friendly mindset-- Ford has jump started their eco-efforts which includes cutting new Ford models' waste to 40 percent.

The makers of green cars like the 2013 Ford Fusion?

Engineers have tinkered with different ways to power cars for years, but not one has caught on enough to push gas powered cars out of the marketplace.  Solar powered cars and trucks that run on recycled vegetable oil all sound like great ideas, but they don't have the widespread adaptability that a new, sustainable fuel source would need.  This is why Ford is working closely with two other major car companies to develop hydrogen fuel cell technology to use in its new inventory.

Ford is looking really good this year, and it's not just when compared to its competitors in the automotive industry.  Every year, the Buzz Rankings is released by YouGov, comparing 1,100 different brands in 41 categories to figure out who has the most people saying good things about it throughout the year.  The results are in and people just can't stop talking about how much they love this American brand.

At Elk Grove Ford, we love the trend that Ford's been perpetuating lately. The automaker has invested heavily in production the United States, creating jobs and stimulating our economy. The lineup of new Ford cars and trucks continues to grow and impress, and with news like this, we fully expect the brand to stay in this positive pattern.

In terms of specific numbers, Ford will be investing a whopping $6.2 billion into domestic...

Environmentally friendly hybrids and electric models are a big new area of development for our favorite American automaker, and at Elk Grove Ford we're excited to inform our customers of some exciting new numbers we've received for the forthcoming Ford Energi Fusion Plug-In.

We don't want to knock anyone over, so...

We recently told you about some of the great features of the Ford Fusion Hybrid. Now, a new marketing campaign for the vehicle is generating a lot of buzz in the industry that stands to make the popular vehicle even more recognizable in the new Ford lineup.

Rap fans in Sacramento area will certainly remember Tupac Shakur, who passed long before his time. A recent Coachella Music and Arts Festival performance by a hologram version?
