Rear-end collisions are among the most common accidents, often caused by limited visibility when reversing. The Ford Cross-Traffic Alert, designed to address this problem, stands out as a leading collision-prevention system that highlights Ford's dedication to safety for all occupants. Ford Cross-Traffic Alert: An Emphasis on Premium Safety What Is Cross-Traffic Alert? Part of Ford's Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Cross-Traffic Alert helps you reverse safely out of parking spots or onto busy streets. The system alerts you when a vehicle is about to cross your Ford's path from behind, ensuring you know when it's safe to proceed. more How Does Cross-Traffic Alert Work? The system uses radars near your Ford's rear quarter panels and automatically activates when you shift into reverse. When the system detects a vehicle crossing your path, the side-view mirror indicators will flash, an audible chime will sound, and a visual alert in your Ford's message center will show you the direction of the approaching vehicle. Ford's Blind Spot Information System Using the same sensors as Cross-Traffic Alert, Ford's BLIS activates as soon as you reach speeds over three miles per hour and remains active throughout your drive. When BLIS detects a vehicle in your blind spot, you'll receive an alert via an LED on the corresponding side-view mirror. This light will remain on until the vehicle exits your blind zone. If you're attempting to change lanes and the system detects an approaching vehicle on the corresponding side, the mirror's LED icon will flash, accompanied by an audible warning. Cross-Traffic Alert With Trailer Coverage How It Works When your trailer is connected to your Ford, BLIS extends the radar's detection zones by using sensors in the taillights. This allows BLIS to cover the area from the side-view mirrors to the end of the trailer, providing comprehensive safety. Getting Set Up Using the buttons on your steering wheel, navigate to the "Towing" section on your onboard screen and select "Trailer Setup." This will take you through several screens requesting information about your trailer, such as its length, width, and connected hitch. Once you finish inputting the information, your Ford will automatically save this configuration and select it when you attach your trailer. Advice When entering your trailer's length, measure from the ball hitch to the rear of the trailer. Since the screen defaults to 18 feet and adjusts in three-foot increments, we recommend selecting the length closest to or slightly above your actual trailer length for full coverage. We also recommend completing this setup before connecting your trailer to streamline your experience. Discover how Ford's leading safety technology enhances your driving experience, providing peace of mind when it matters most.

Ford's answer to European supercars is the barely street-legal 2025 Ford Mustang GTD. Possessed by the spirit of the Mustang GT3 and housing a supercharged V8 under its hood, the performance car targets a sub-7 minute Nürburgring time. The limited availability means that only a few lucky buyers can pick it up from your local Ford dealership. 2025 Ford Mustang GTD: Unleashing Track-Ready Power on the Streets Race-Bred Performance The GTD smokes every car you meet on the street with 815 horsepower, produced by a monstrous Predator 5.2L supercharged V8 that redlines at 7,650 RPM. The engine was designed by Ford Performance, the division of Ford that handles motorsport activities. It comes mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and roars through the F-22 fighter-jet-grade titanium exhaust. When properly equipped, the GTD is capable of reaching a top speed of 202 mph. more Supercar Handling Capabilities Taking on the Nürburgring circuit requires exceptional cornering capabilities to handle all 73 bends. The GTD is more than equipped with its perfect 50:50 weight distribution and semi-active suspension. It achieves its balance using a lightweight carbon fiber driveshaft, which is connected to the 8-speed rear transaxle. Meanwhile, the short-long arm front suspension enhances grip by maintaining stiffness when driving around Newark streets or cornering at high speeds. Multimatic DSSV (Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve) technology further improves the performance car's handling. The system provides predictable suspension damping to match road conditions and can lower the ride height by 1.57 inches in Track mode. Advanced Braking System To produce braking power sufficient to bring all 815 horsepower to a halt, the GTD is equipped with carbon ceramic brakes. The six-piston Brembo anti-lock front brakes can rapidly bleed the performance car's speed on the track or street. To keep the front brakes from overheating, Ford engineers add front fender vents that direct airflow directly to the braking system. Carbon Fiber Body The GTD's carbon fiber build makes it lightweight and durable, conserving fuel on the streets while adding speed and rigidity for the track. Formed carbon fiber body panels, the carbon fiber driveshaft, and the carbon fiber rear spoiler shave hundreds of pounds from conventional aluminum designs without compromising structural integrity. The titanium exhaust system further reduces weight while also resisting extreme temperatures. Aerodynamic Styling The sculpted body gives the GTD an aggressive look on the streets, resembling modern Mustang muscle cars. Every design cue serves a functional purpose while adding to the vehicle's looks. For instance, the aerodynamic rear wing increases downforce at high speeds, and the multipurpose front fender vents reduce lift and drag by avoiding air pressure buildup inside the wheel arches. Interested in becoming one of the few proud owners of the Ford Mustang GTD? Contact us at Coughlin Ford of Heath in Newark, OH to find out how.

As you drive off the Ford dealer lot in your new purchase, the goal of keeping it running like it just came from the showroom floor becomes a primary focus for car owners. The good news is you can easily help extend the lifetime of your engine with a commitment to routine Ford engine maintenance! Ford Engine Maintenance: Ensuring Longevity and Reliability Several Factors can determine how long your trusted Ford vehicle's engine will ultimately last, and here we'll explore some significant maintenance requirements to get the most out of your car, SUV, or Truck addition. more Oil Changes: The Importance of Regular Intervals & Which Oil to Choose You've likely heard that oil is the lifeblood of an engine, and having it changed at planned intervals is the first step in giving your engine what it requires for a long, reliable history. Understanding the long-term impact of the oil you choose to put in your engine is equally important. Here are the three choices and the one that stands above the rest. Full Synthetic Oil Normally derived from a distilled crude oil base, full synthetic oil is born from a complicated process that involves synthesis and chemically altered compounds. The exact method varies by refinery, but the results are superior to any other oil on the market. Full Synthetic doesn't contain extra additives that break down as your car goes through the daily grind. Therefore, the viscosity remains stable as seasons change and the miles accumulate. Synthetic oil provides better flow protection into vital engine components and turbochargers, particularly for today's high-revving power plants. Engine oil will inevitably leave deposits and sludge, but with a higher burning point, full synthetic fuels help keep your engine cleaner between oil changes with fewer overall deposits. Another benefit is extended oil change intervals beyond the traditional 3,000-mile plateau, depending on grade ratings and brand. There are oil filters specifically designed for full synthetic oils and extended periods. Semi-Synthetic Oil Also known as a synthetic blend, semisynthetic oil is just as it sounds; a blend of synthetic and conventional oil compounds. The quality of blends can vary depending on which synthetic base oil was used and the additives that help maintain conventional base oils. Although any amount of synthetic helps improve the performance of traditional motor oil, if the choice comes down to a few more bucks, going full synthetic is the way to go. Conventional Oil The most economically friendly oil is conventional, but considering the myriad of benefits associated with the superior molecular stability of fully synthetic lubricants, it's highly recommended you choose full synthetic whenever possible.

ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance System. The Ford ADAS, known as Ford Co-Pilot360, is a comprehensive suite of safety systems that work to prevent accidents and keep you safe when you're driving. As your Ford dealer, we want to tell you about some of these systems and the protection they provide. Ford ADAS: Comprehensive Protection on the Road Adaptive Cruise Control Cruise control has been available on automobiles since the 1950s, but this advanced Ford version provides much more. Aside from maintaining the speed you set, you can also set a following distance from any vehicle in front of you. The system maintains this distance and provides limited braking if necessary. Three additional features of the cruise control are Stop-and-Go, Speed Sign Recognition, and Lane Centering. Stop-and-Go slows down and stops your Ford in traffic, then restarts the engine and reverts to pre-set speed once traffic moves again. Speed Sign Recognition identifies speed restrictions and lowers your speed. Lane Centering identifies the lane lines on the road and works to keep you inside them at all times. It warns you if your wheels drift into another lane. more Pre-Collision Alert This feature uses a camera and radar to identify any vehicle, pedestrian, or animal in front of your vehicle. It computes their speed and then compares it to your vehicle's speed to determine if a collision is possible. If it identifies a collision risk, the system sounds a warning, and a visual warning appears on your screen so you can take action. Automatic Emergency Braking This system works with the Pre-Collision Alert. If you're not able to respond in time to a potential collision, automatic braking will be applied to prevent an accident or reduce damage if an accident is unavoidable. Auto High-Beam Headlamps High beams provide exceptional visibility at night, but they can also be blinding to other drivers heading in your direction. Your first response to seeing headlights ahead is to reach over and switch your lights to low beam, which means taking your eyes off the road and risking an accident. This feature uses sensors to detect oncoming lights, and it automatically switches to low beams. Once the lights have passed, the headlights revert to high beams again. BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert BLIS stands for Blind Spot Information System, and it utilizes sensors to scan the blind spot areas around your Ford. If a vehicle or pedestrian enters one of the blind spots, a warning will sound so you can take corrective action to avoid an action. The Cross-Traffic Alert scans the area directly behind your rear bumper and warns of vehicles or pedestrians that enter this area. If you'd like to know more about any of these features, contact us today at Coughlin Ford of Heath in Newark, OH.
