When your car enters a curve at night, traditional headlights may fail to fully illuminate the road ahead. With Ford Adaptive Headlights, you don’t have this problem; your headlights detect the curve and swivel to optimize your visibility. 

How Adaptive Headlights Work

While driving at night, you only have clear visibility inside the cones of light cast ahead by your headlamps. Anything outside this lit area is in darkness, which is fine when the road is straight and easily illuminated. However, when the road curves or you corner, you’re about to enter that dark patch to the left or right, and you need to see it clearly. 

This is where adaptive headlights help. Rather than being fixed in place, the headlight harness can swivel. Using a sensor in your steering wheel, the headlights swivel in the same direction to the same degree, which lights up the area of road you’re moving into. At the same time, the headlight on the outside of the curve may shorten its beam length, while the inside beam lengthens for even better illumination of the curving road.

Ford’s ruggedly capable truck lineup is legendary. These advanced workhorses regularly lead their respective segments, offering a pickup to meet all driving needs. If you want a city-friendly truck that can effortlessly navigate urban environments, the 2025 Ford Maverick is the way to go.

1. Compact and Nimble Design

The Maverick is basically designed for cities. Ford has taken elements from larger stablemates like the mid-size Ranger or the full-size F-150 and incorporated them into a tight, compact package. The base-level XL trim measures just 199.8 inches from tip to tail and is only 72.6 inches wide, meaning you have a high-quality Ford pickup that you can easily maneuver around the bustling downtown streets.

The compact truck bed measures just 54.4 inches long and 53.3 inches wide, but intelligent Ford design maximizes the utility of this efficient frame. Ford’s FLEXBED system lets you cleverly and conveniently organize and secure your gear however you see fit, with slots allowing you to partition the truck bed into sections and clever solutions like concealed side compartments for valuables, depending on trim and optional packages.

Your car’s engine requires a steady supply of fuel to function properly. Without regular Ford fuel system maintenance, you’ll soon experience misfires and stalling. Follow these steps to keep your fuel system healthy and your engine fault-free. 

Clean the Fuel Injectors

The fuel injectors spray gas into each cylinder in a precisely controlled mist. Carbon deposits, dirt, rust, and other debris can gradually clog these injectors, which eventually restricts fuel delivery. It’s therefore important to have your fuel injectors routinely cleaned.

Your car’s engine requires a steady inflow of fresh oxygen, which mixes with fuel inside the combustion chambers. The air filter prevents dust, dirt, sand, insects, and other airborne contaminants from entering the engine. Good Ford air filter maintenance primarily involves changing the filter periodically to avoid engine problems. Let’s look at how often you should do so.

Change Your Air Filter Once a Year

For most drivers, a yearly change will suffice when it comes to both the engine and cabin air filter. Air filters are relatively inexpensive compared to other car parts, and very straightforward to change. 

Despite this, they’re absolutely vital to proper engine performance, and it’s wise never to forget about your engine’s air filter. Once a filter becomes clogged enough to slightly impede airflow, the engine will misfire, and your car could become damaged in various ways.

Ranger XL

The XL is the Ranger lineup’s impressively equipped base model.

The spark plugs play a vital role in your engine as they ignite the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders to produce combustion. As time passes, spark plugs age and wear out, and can also become damaged by undiagnosed engine problems. As your Ford dealership, we want you to know some signs you need to visit us for a Ford spark plug replacement.

Signs You Need a Ford Spark Plug Replacement at Your Ford Dealership

Misfiring

A misfire is caused by the incorrect ignition of the fuel-air mixture in a cylinder. Inside a cylinder, the fuel-air mixture is compressed by the piston, and then ignited by the spark plug at the high point of compression. A healthy spark plug causes the mixture to burn in a precisely timed series of mini explosions, producing the energy that moves your vehicle.

Worn or damaged plugs cause the fuel-air mixture to burn irregularly. Irregular burning produces less energy, wastes fuel as much of it doesn’t burn, and produces a misfire. Continued misfiring will damage the cylinders and pistons, and increase wear and tear on other engine components. Our technicians will examine your plugs and replace any that are damaged.
