A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Jump Start Your Car

If you want a rugged SUV that performs athletically and is feature-packed, consider the 2021 Ford Explorer. The Ford Explorer has been a powerhouse vehicle in terms of popularity for years, and that reputation isn't going away in 2021. We adore this SUV for its third-row seating, its new standard features, and its convenience functions. Let's talk about the key features to see if you'll fall in love with the Ford Explorer, too. 1. Luxurious Seating If you're not comfortable in your vehicle then you're not going to have a good time, no matter how well it performs on the road. Luckily, there are several features in the Ford Explorer that create comfort for anyone who sits in it. One of these features is the available leather upholstery, which creates a comfortable feel and stylish look. Another feature is the heating in the first and second-row seats; most SUVs only have heating in the front row. The third-row seats aren't let out, either, as they have a power-folding feature. This isn't a comfort feature for third-row passengers; it's a convenience-based feature for the driver. Instead of having to struggle with folding down the rear seats when you need to, you simply push a button and they fold away by themselves. This is just one of many features made for the driver's benefit - another is the front row massage function made to reduce fatigue. more 2. Parking Assistance and Other Convenience Many drivers despise parallel parking, and sometimes backing into a parking space isn't fun either. With the Ford Explorer, you'll have a stress-free experience no matter how you choose to park. There's an active parking assist feature; you press a button and your vehicle senses the best position to stop in. It'll help you figure out which way to steer, then it tells you when to park. Eliminating the stress of parking is a sure way to make yourself happy. You should be aware that the parking assist feature is an upgrade - it's not a base model feature. Although, there are several features available in the standard Ford Explorer that don't exist in standard competitor models. These include other convenience features like LED taillights and a power liftgate. 3. Incredible Safety Features If you like the sound of those two standard features listed above, you'll love the standard safety features in the Ford Explorer. Unlike many competitors, Ford doesn't make you pay for your own safety and peace of mind. Post-collision braking is standard, as are several alert functions that help you drive more efficiently. On top of the standard safety, there are a few available via upgrade-only. The upgraded safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and reverse brake assistance. If you're interested in the Ford Explorer, come and see us at Lenoir City Ford. We'll get you into the SUV for a test drive and help ensure you have the best time possible. If you're in love with the vehicle when you return, talk to us and we'll talk you through all your options with trims, features, and more. Image via ford.com.

The Ford F-series has been a staple of the motor industry for decades, and it's as American as apple pie. With a track record of improved reliability and innovation, the F-series has established and enhanced its reputation over time as America's best pickup truck, and the latest iteration is more efficient, more capable, and more productive. Meet the new and improved 2021 Ford F-150. The New and Improved 2021 Ford F-150 This isn't just an aesthetic touch-up. The 14th generation has seen Ford redesign its flagship truck series across the board with a wealth of new features and improvements. For the first time ever, it comes with the option of a hybrid engine with a 3.5-liter power-boost hybrid V6. The truck can tow a minimum of 12,000lbs, seats up to six, prides itself on a host of smart features for ease-of-use, and is designed above all to be a practical and reliable workhorse for its drivers. It's more than a truck. It's a trailer, a portable generator, a workshop, and a luxury drive all-in-one. more It's a Mobile Generator The F-150 might offer many upgrades that catch the eye, but the standout feature is undeniably the availability of its onboard generator. There's no need to tow a generator around when the car is the generator. The PowerBoost hybrid model boasts a 2.4-kW generator as standard, which can operate for up to 64 hours. The optional upgrade to a 7.2kW generator, according to Ford, is enough to juice a mobile welding shop. The generator can be jacked into via four 20-amp, 120-volt outlets in the truck bed, two more in the cab, as well as one 30-amp, 240-volt twist-lock outlet, and six USB ports. It's Practical Ford has certainly recognized the need for practicality with its latest model. Listening to feedback from customers, who evidently use the tailgate as a workbench, Ford printed two rulers in both metric and imperial measurements and positioned two clamp holes in the tailgate for practical use. There's even a cup holder right next to them for those all-important coffee breaks. Inside the cab, the seats are fully foldable and the gear selector folds into the center console, making space for a fold-down work surface. SYNC 4 SYNC4 is Ford's next-gen infotainment system and standard for all F-150s. With an eight to 12-inch touchscreen and split-screen interface, SYNC4 receives over-the-air updates for both new features and system updates. SYNC4 is designed as a one-stop-shop for accessibility, allowing the owner to access digital manuals, maps, and how-to videos, and includes everything you'd expect from an infotainment system: WiFi, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and so on. It's Designed for Simplicity Between the F-150's FordPass Connect App, Trailer Reverse Guidance, and Active Drive Assist, the truck's smart technology makes the day-to-day easier than ever. FordPass Connect allows an owner's phone to act as a car key, check the status of the lighting, and sends real-time alerts should a trailer become disconnected. The onboard Active Drive Assist, which stores around 100,000 miles of pre-mapped highways in its memory, keeps track of eye gaze and head position to ensure the driver isn't asleep at the wheel and includes a toolbox of safety systems like automated braking, high beam adjustments, and pedestrian detection. The Trailer Guidance system provides high visibility with its rear camera integration and makes sure-fire recommendations that instruct a driver how and when to turn.
