2014 Ford Escapes are available in abundance at Preston Ford

Ford Escape 1
Preston Ford, Pitsville Ford and Denton Ford have the largest line-up of 2014 Ford Escapes on the Eastern Shore. The aerodynamic design and eco-friendly side of the Escape make it a must see. Not only does the Escape look great but it also is shaped in order to reduce drag on the vehicle body that wind resistance produces. The Active Grille Shutters also help cheat the wind. When the shutters are closed they reduce aerodynamic drag caused by air traveling through the radiator. The Escape features an interior that is modern yet sophisticated. The Escape aims to maximize seating comfort and ergonomic convenience. Available interior color choices include Charcoal Black on Charcoal Black or Charcoal Black on Medium Light Stone. The 2014 Ford Escapes come equipped with a 6-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission. When the 6-speed automatic transmission is paired with the optional 1.6L EcoBoost engine, the Escape has surpassed automatic transmission highway fuel economy. It also adds a little fun to the drive. A switch on the gear shifter knob lets the driver easily and quickly shift gears without having to engage the clutch. Escapes come equipped with a class exclusive foot activated liftgate. With the intelligent key in the owners pocket or purse all they need to do is swipe their foot under the bumper and the power liftgate automatically opens. This makes it easier when the customer is lugging groceries and doesn’t have a free hand. Also available on the 2013 Ford Escape is Sync with MyFord Touch this helps the driver keep their eyes on the road and stay connected to the world. Hands free calling means the driver never has to miss a call and they can make a call with the touch of a button. The driver can say “bluetooth audio” and listen wirelessly to whatever is on their phone or to Pandora internet radio. Another great hands-free feature is the drive can have incoming texts read to them so that their hands stay on the wheel the whole time they are driving. Active park assist has been designed to help the driver parallel park easier and quicker. While driving near parking spots, activate this feature and it scans for available parking spots. The ultrasonic sensors measure the distance to the curb and other parked cars. Once a big enough spot is found the driver is signaled to stop and accept the system’s assistance. All the drive has to do is control the shifting, accelerating, and braking. David Wilson Jr. says that “parallel parking has never been easier.” Not only is the Ford Escape stylish but it is also environmentally conscious. The hood insulation on the Escape is constructed of post-industrial scrap metal. Materials like scrap cotton from jeans, sweaters, t-shirts, and other items that would have otherwise been sent to a landfill are used in sound-absorption material. The carpet in the Escapes is manufactured from a blend of postconsumer and postindustrial polyester fibers, which helps reduce the need for raw materials and helps eliminate waste. The post-consumer fibers are derived from recycled plastic bottles. In the carpeting about 25 recycled 20-ounce bottles are used. Combined Preston Ford, Pittsville Ford and Denton Ford currently have over 60 brand new Ford Escapes ready to be purchased. They have stocked up on all vehicles for their Mission Possible Top 100 Sales Drive.

Fall Seasonal Maintenance

The Preston Automotive Group wants to make sure that our clients always get the service they need for any upcoming season. Fall brings beautiful scenery; leaves falling and the weather cooling down to a comfortable temperature. However, keep in mind that this lovely fall weather can cause some issues for your vehicle if it is not properly maintained. We have listed out some of the aspects of your vehicle that you may want to check out before the fall season really gets into full swing. Windshield Wipers - Spring and winter aren’t the only times for intense weather, as autumn also commonly entails late-night thunderstorms and even sometimes snow as you round the season out. A windshield that is dirty could lead to eye fatigue and even safety problems if the issue persists. Make sure that your windshield wipers have blades that are working correctly and replace them if you find any problems or missed spots. You should also make sure that you have enough windshield wiper fluid to keep your windshield completely clean. Oil - You probably spent much of this past summer on the road, whether it be heading down to the beach for some fun during the day or taking that long road trip that your family has been craving all year. Either way, you’ve probably accrued some mileage on your car, truck or SUV. Make sure that you check your vehicle’s handbook to see how often you should be changing your oil. Having fresh oil can prevent engine problems and keep your fuel economy at the optimal rate. If you need your oil and/or filter changed, then come into one of the Preston Automotive Group’s service areas and get your vehicle back to peak performance. Cooling/Antifreeze Systems - Even though fall is here, the summer heat may not be completely gone quite yet. Make sure your engine makes it through these last few hot weeks by ensuring that the cooling system has been flushed out and filled back up with coolant that is both factory approved and the right amount. Bring your vehicle into one of the Preston Automotive Group service stations and get your coolant levels checked and refilled, if needed. We can also make sure that your levels of antifreeze are where they should be, so your engine continues to perform how it should as we get closer to winter. So bring your vehicle into a Preston Automotive service department today and get it ready for the fall season under the hood.
