If you can’t pay top dollar for a brand-new car, you can consider a used one instead. Of course, you don’t get the glitz and glamour that comes with owning a new car, but a used car can still get you from point A to point B just fine. Opting for a used car instead of a new one is a financially prudent decision, but only if you buy one that’s worth the money. To get the best value for money, you need to ask yourself, "What are the things to check when buying a used car?" You should expect typical wear and tear and sometimes even a few missing parts. In some cases, the car may have taken too much of a beating to be worth the money. However, you can’t tell this from online pictures or a rushed perusal. If you’re in the market for a used car, here a few things you should always check for a proper purchase. What Are the Things to Check When Buying a Used Car? The Basics Buying a car is exciting, but don’t get too caught up in the excitement and forget the important stuff. Before you buy a used car, make sure you first inspect the exterior and interior thoroughly. Then follow up this inspection with an examination of all the relevant documents. The next time you’re buying a used car, remember to check the following things. Vehicle History Report A vehicle history report is typically a third-party service that the dealer pays for. This report details the car’s history, and you can think of it as a vehicle’s background check. In the vehicle’s history report, you’ll find information about the car’s previous owners, any accidents, and prior issues. If you’re buying cars from private owners, then they should run the car history report at their own cost. After test driving the car, the next thing you should ask for is a comprehensive vehicle history report. The Tires The tires speak volumes about how the previous owner kept up with general maintenance. If the tires are too worn out, they might not be legally safe for use on the road. You don’t need good tires just to be in line with the law — driving with worn tires is putting yourself and other passengers in the car at risk too. The first thing to check is the tire tread depth. The tread depth is the depth of the groove on the tires. This depth should be about 8mm when the tires are new. The legal limit for tread depth is 1.6mm, so anything below that is a definite no. You might be wondering how you’ll start measuring the tire treads, but you don’t need an actual ruler. Just plop a coin inside one of the groves, and if you can see the outer band of the coin protruding from the treads, then the tread is too worn. Also, don’t forget to check the spare tire. The spare tire is just as important as the other tires, but it’s easy to forget about it.  Also, check whether the spare tire is full-size or it’s a skinny spare tire. The VIN VIN abbreviates vehicle identification number, which is a number unique to every vehicle. You’ll find the VIN at the bottom of the windscreen or under the bonnet. In some cars, you’ll find it as a stamp on the framework of the car when you lift the bonnet. Once you spot the VIN, write it down and compare it to the one on the V5C registration. If they don’t match, then you may be dealing with a stolen car.  You’re better off looking for another car. Windows and Door Locks Be very keen when inspecting the locks and windows. The slightest signs of forced entry is a huge red flag. That’s because the windows may not open and close normally, plus you may be buying a stolen car. When it comes to the locks, make sure all the locks are the same. If some locks are different, then the car might have been broken into at one point. Ask for an explanation for the different locks, if it doesn’t make sense, then look for another car. Check the Mileage The car mileage will tell you how long the car has been on the road. You want a car with low mileage because it won’t be as worn out as one with higher mileage. However, mileage alone isn’t enough to tell you the general state of the car. Also, keep an eye out for clocked cars. Unscrupulous sellers might rewind the odometer to show lesser mileage, which increases the car’s value. You can tell if the seller tampered with the odometer if the car looks visibly older than what the odometer reads. You should also compare the odometer reading with the ones on official documents. If there’s a huge disparity between the reading on the car and the ones on recent vehicle documents, then you have a problem there. You can also hire a mechanic to check whether the numbers on a mechanical odometer align correctly. The mechanic will conclusively establish whether anyone has tampered with the odometer. Get a Car That’s Worth Every Penny What are the things to check when buying a used car? Now that you know the answer, your next used car purchase should be a breeze. Remember to buy a used car from a trusted dealer and not these gypsy dealers that are here today and gone tomorrow. If you’re buying from a private seller, make sure you buy the car from someone you can trust. If you need quality and registered used cars, then contact us today, and we’ll get you a car that’s worth your money.

Also, gas prices are cheap making the Expedition more affordable. Read on for a comprehensive guide to the 2020 Ford Expedition. Explore the SUV’s technical characteristics and exciting new features. Various Models Before diving into all the features, it is important to acquire an understanding of the different models and upgrades. There are four different variants of the Expedition. The XLT is the base Expedition model. You can certainly purchase an XLT with certain upgrades or add-ons. The Limited version is the next higher model. There are many added upgrades on the Limited Edition. For example, you can spot a Limited by focusing on the wheels. The XLT has standard 18-inch wheels, while the Limited and other upgraded variants have 20-inch rollers. At the top, Ford offers a King Ranch and Platinum variant. These versions cost approximately $75,000 and have all the bells and whistles. The added cost gets you 22-inch wheels, upgraded exterior trim, and leather seats. There are many electronics upgrades as well. Interior One of the primary reasons that drivers choose the Expedition is for its spacious interior. This is an SUV that can accommodate a large family. It has all the interior perks of a minivan without the soccer mom vibes. The Ford Expedition comfortably sits up to seven passengers. Also, your passengers will not be squeezing into a third row. The Expedition’s doors are large making it easy to get in. There is a pass-through to the third row so passengers can get back there without issue. The third row can be tight in many SUVs. The Expedition is a different breed as your third-row passengers will have extensive legroom. There are cup holders back there and even a charging port for electronic devices. Storage and Towing Capacity Another reason that drivers select the Expedition is for its storage and towing capacity. This is the perfect vehicle for a camping trip. The Expedition boasts a best-in-class towing capacity of 9,300 lbs. Upgraded models may include the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package as well. This makes the Expedition suitable to tow your camper. There are nearly 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. If you need more room for storage, you can fold down the third row. The second row’s seats slide forward or fold down as well. The result is 121 cubic feet of cargo space. This is large enough for you to transport furniture or lumber in your SUV. Engine Performance One feature that attracts drivers to the Ford Expedition is its impressive engine performance. Both the standard and upgraded models of this SUV show off a 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine. The resulting engine performance on the upgraded Expedition model is 400 horsepower and 480 lbs per foot of torque. There is not much of a drop off for the standard model. The standard Expeditions features 375 horsepower and 470 lbs per foot of torque. Fuel Economy Despite the solid engine performance and towing capacity, the Expedition still boasts great fuel economy. In the city, the average fuel consumption is 17 miles per gallon. When you get on the highway, fuel economy increases to 24 miles per gallon. This fuel economy earns the Expedition best-in-class ranking for full-size SUVs. Vehicle Safety Many consumers buy full-size SUVs for safety reasons. They feel as if a full-size SUV can better handle the impact of a serious accident. This is true, but the Expedition goes above and beyond when it comes to passenger safety. The Expedition boasts a safety program called the Ford Co-Pilot 360. The Co-Pilot 360 is a litany of the most advanced safety features in the industry. Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking The technology in the Expedition is so impressive that it senses when an accident is about to occur. The vehicle’s sensors pick up imminent collisions with pedestrians, other vehicles, or any foreign object. When the sensor picks up a threat, it pre-charges the brakes and gives the driver warnings. If the driver fails to respond accordingly, the brakes will automatically apply. Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) The Expedition’s powerful sensors also pick up vehicles and other objects in your blind spots. Any Expedition version with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package includes BLIS. With BLIS, you will receive cross-traffic alerts regarding blind spot threats. These alerts occur while you are driving on the highway or backing out of your driveway. Lane-Keeping System Have you ever been on a long drive and started to doze off? Your eyes get heavy and you start to drift left or right. The Expedition alerts you when the vehicle starts to drift out of its lane.

The new 2020 Ford EcoSport is fuel-efficient and sporty. The 2020 Ford EcoSport does offer a tall seating position with an optional all-wheel-drive at an inexpensive price, and this helps it stand out from most of its competitors. One plus is that the EcoSport offers lots of the same convenience features as pricier options. But that’s not all we have to say about the vehicle. Let’s delve more into the new 2020 Ford EcoSport: here’s everything you should know. Engine and Performance In this Ford EcoSport review, first, we’ll cover one of the car’s main features – the engine and performance. Whether the EcoSport contains the standard 123-hp turbocharged three-cylinder or the optional 166-hp four-cylinder, we must be honest. The EcoSport is not the quickest vehicle. However, each engine possesses a six-speed automatic transmission and can remarkably tow more than most competitors. The Ford EcoSport can pull up to 2000 pounds when fitted with the four-cylinder engine. And even the three-cylinder option can tug up to 1400 pounds. While straight-line acceleration isn’t great, both engines are energetic when driving from spotlights and at city speeds. The EcoSport does well driving at city speeds. Cruise around the city and enjoy cutting through busy streets at an athletic and punchy pace. When it comes to braking, the brake pedal featuring on the front-drive titanium version felt completely solid, and did the job well. Fuel Economy and MPG The four-cylinder engine performs better than the three-cylinder, with 30 MPG for the four-cylinder and 28 with the three-cylinder. Interior and Cargo The Ford Eco’s interior does not have a lot of extras, but it is very functional which is to be best expected with a cheaper vehicle. The leather covered steering wheel is a nice attraction.  The SES model does make shines with leather-and-cloth seats, as well as featuring trim pieces in a copper hue. When it comes to passenger space, the front is lofty, with more legroom than you first think. Despite the vehicle’s small size, the EcoSport does boast ample cargo space and storage. There’s a variety of interior spaces for storage, though it’s fair to say they aren’t very big. There are plenty of spots for carry-on suitcases and luggage. A sealable vent located in the glovebox links with the car’s air conditioner, offering the opportunity to make a climate-controlled compartment that can be useful. Infotainment The Ford EcoSport provides two levels of infotainment. The top-level utilizes Ford’s user-friendly Sync 3 system. An 8-inch touchscreen is offered, providing features including the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces. The base models feature basic display including Bluetooth compatibility, however, no other smartphone integration is available. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Impressively, the Ford EcoSport was gifted a four-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This was out of a possible five stars. So, while the vehicle is short on sophisticated driver assists such as automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, the safety features that it possesses are like that of its competitors. These safety features include available blind-spot monitoring, available rear cross-traffic alert, and available rear parking sensors. Pricing and Models The Ford EcoSport comes in four different models with different price points. These include: S: $21,580 SE: $24,545 Titanium: $27,360 SES 4WD: $28,475 The EcoSport S, is, of course, the cheapest option with basic features. The SE improves with heated front seats to warm up on chilly winter days, a sunroof to enjoy warm summer days, a power driver’s seat, satellite radio, rear parking sensors, and an easy-to-use touchscreen infotainment system including Android Auto and Apple Carplay compatibility. The all-wheel-drive will set you back $1500 an added option, but it changes the standard three-cylinder engine for the four-cylinder alternative, so it is worth the money. The 2020 Ford EcoSport: Should You Buy It? The 2020 Ford EcoSport boasts some great qualities. This includes its roomy cargo area and its easy-to-use infotainment system, great MPGs, and a high safety rating. The EcoSport is a great buy. Want to see some of the great options we have on offer?

Every day around the world, there are over 3,000 people killed in car accidents. To avoid becoming part of this statistic, it’s essential for you to ensure every part of your car is as safe as possible. With so many brands to choose from, it can be difficult to know which are the safest brand for your vehicle. To help you decide between Bridgestone vs Michelin and other tire brands, we put together this article. Keep reading to learn more about some of the best tire brands and to find out how you can determine which to get. Safest Tire Brands These are a few of the tire brands we offer. They offer some of the overall safest tires for all types of vehicles so you can rest easy when choosing from this list. Bridgestone One of the largest tire manufacturers in the world, Bridgestone has its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. Their U.S. headquarters are in Nashville, Tennessee. Although Bridgestone has tires for most applications, they are most well-known for their innovation of winter and snow tires. This makes them an excellent choice for these types of tires. Goodyear Goodyear was founded in 1898, making them only a few years younger than some of the first car manufacturers. Their center of operations can be found in Akron, Ohio, and sell the most tires throughout North America. They offer tires for numerous application types so you should be able to get whatever you need from Goodyear. Michelin Michelin's main headquarters are in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and it's North American headquarters are in Greenville, South Carolina. Since its founding in 1891, Michelin has been a pioneer in the tire industry and is noted for creating the first radial tires. Continental Despite not quite making it to the top three highest-selling tire companies, Continental is still considered one of the best and offers a wide range of both original and replacement tire options. You can find its main headquarters in Hanover, Germany, and its United States headquarters in Lancaster County, South Carolina. Firestone Firestone was originally founded in 1900 and was one of the primary suppliers of tires for Ford vehicles for many years because its founder Harvey Samuel Firestone was close friends with Henry Ford. Although it has since been sold to Bridgestone, Firestone continues to sell a variety of tires in the United States and beyond. Pirelli Although Pirelli is headquartered in Milan, Italy, it has a manufacturing plant in Rome, Georgia. These tires are famous for being used in sports cars and other luxury vehicles. Pirelli tires remain more popular in Europe than in the United States. They focus on high-end vehicle tires but you can still find replacement tires for family cars, SUVs, and light trucks. Toyo Another Japanese company, Toyo has its main headquarters in Itami, Hyogo, Japan. However, you can find its factory in Bartow County, Georgia. Toyo has only been marketing their tires in the United States since 1966, the company was actually founded in 1945. It may not be as old as some of the other companies on our list, but still offers tires for every type of vehicle. Other Tire Brands to Consider If you're not sure you want to go with one of those brands, here are a few other quality brand name tire companies we work with: Dunlop BF Goodrich Kelly Tires Hankook Uniroyal Nitto General Tire Falken Yokohama We selected these brands because the tires they offer work well on Ford cars and trucks. Our customers deserve the best tires for their vehicle and we aim to provide that by only working with the best possible tire companies. Bridgestone vs Michelin: How to Decide Which Brand is Right for You By now you may be wondering how to choose between all of these tire brands. Fortunately, it's easier than you may think. There are only three things you really need to think about. Type of Tire Before you can decide on a brand, you'll need to know what type of tire you need. Some examples of different types of tires include: All-season Performance Touring All-terrain Winter Once you know what type of tire is best for you and your vehicle, you can check to ensure that the brand you're looking at has this type of tire. Most brands will have all of the most popular types of tires, but if you're looking for a specialty tire, then you may have to check with several brands to find it. Track Record for Excellence As you can see, some of these brands go back a number of years. This is a good sign because it means they've been providing high-quality tires for their customers for a long time. While there may not be anything wrong with a newer company, it's still a good idea to check to make sure a brand has a history of excellence. Typically if a company has been around for twenty years or more, they're here to stay and you can trust them. Fair Prices The last thing you want to think about is whether or not the brand has fair prices on their tires. Tires are an investment and going with the cheapest option may not help you in the long run. However, you do want to make sure the brand is offering you a fair price for what you're getting. A good way to determine this is to compare it to similar tires by other brands and check user reviews to make sure they're going to be worth what you're paying.

The measurements of the exterior are: Wheelbase: 119.1 inches Length: 198.8 inches Height: 69.9 inches Width (including mirrors): 89.3 inches Interior dimensions are as follows: First-row headroom: 40.7 or 38.9 inches First-row legroom: 43 inches Second-row headroom: 40.5 or 38.2 inches Second-row legroom: 39 inches Third-row headroom: 38.9 inches Third-row legroom: 32.2 inches Altogether, there are 152.7 cubic inches of space for passengers in the Ford Explorer. Explorer Models There are five different models of the 2020 Ford Explorer to choose from. Which of these you choose will depend largely on your budget, needs, and personal preferences. Let's take a closer look at each model and what makes it unique. Ford Explorer If you don't want all the bells and whistles, you can get the base model that still has tri-zone electronic automatic temperature, a reverse sensing system, and rear-wheel drive. Ford Explorer XLT The next step up from the base is the XLT. It does come with the MyKey safe driving system and other important safety features. However, you can't get it with leather seats. If that's a deal-breaker, you'll need to look at another model. Ford Explorer Limited For leather seats, ventilated and heated front seats, and more, you'll want to take a closer look at the Ford Explorer Limited. It also has several added safety features like the 360-degree parking camera and front parking sensors. Ford Explorer ST If you're planning on doing a lot of exploring, you'll want to consider the sport version of the Ford Explorer. You can get it with an optional four-wheel drive and a tow package so you can take on any terrain with it. Ford Explorer Platinum This most expensive model has plenty to offer those looking into buying it. The 2020 Ford Explorer Platinum has front and rear skid plates, an optional towing package, and only comes in four-wheel drive. One of the safety features you can only find in this model is an active park assist so you can easily get in and out of parallel parking spaces. 2020 Ford Explorer MPG An easy way to save money is to get a vehicle that gets excellent gas mileage. The newest Ford Explorer will help you do just that as it gets an average of 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. These numbers are excellent for an SUV. The fact that the make shed a couple of hundred pounds since last year is certainly a factor in the improved gas mileage. Ford Explorer HP The base model features a four-cylinder engine that has 300 horsepower (HP). This allows it to handle well no matter how much traffic you're dealing with or how many curves are in the road. It also has a 10-speed automatic transmission to which it's responsive so it doesn't take much for this Explorer to get up and go! Explorer Towing Capacity Most people don't get a mid-size vehicle for its towing capabilities. However, the 2020 Ford Explorer has an impressive ability for its size which makes it a great choice for those looking for an all-purpose vehicle. With a towing package in place, the Ford Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds. For the average car owner, that's more than enough to take what you need where you need it. 2020 Explorer Cargo Space We can't forget about the internal space this vehicle has to offer for transporting cargo. With all of the seats in place, it's got 18.2 cubic feet of cargo space. With all of the seats folded, you can fit up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo inside. Ford Explorer Seating Speaking of seats, the 2020 Ford Explorer has space for up to six passengers, carrying seven people in total. In most cases, that's more than enough room for the whole family. For most models, you can choose between a bench for the middle row or stick with the two captain chairs that come standard. Fully-loaded models come with leather seating for maximum comfort and style. Explorer Safety Features You want to keep yourself, your family, and those around you safe while you drive.

There are many reasons why consumers purchase new vehicles. From wanting the latest and greatest from your favorite auto manufacturer to growing tired of having to Fred Flinstone your brake system, the reasons for purchasing a new vehicle are endless. For some, purchasing a new car can be an overwhelming process. There are many options, choices, and budgets to consider. But before hopping into your current ride and heading down to your favorite Ford dealership in Millington, there are some things you must consider. So let's take a look at what to do before buying a car so you can be sure you're making an educated purchase that's right for you. What To Do Before Buying A Car Purchasing a car is a big financial decision, so before heading to the dealership, you need to examine where you are in your finances. Most car buyers already have a vehicle that they're driving, so looking at your current loan or lease status will help you get a good idea of your parameters. Do you have a current car loan? If you have a current loan, you need to verify how much time you have left on the loan. If you initially took out a 60-month car loan, there may be a chance you are upside down on your investment. Being upside down on a car loan means that you owe more on the car than what it's worth. It's a common occurrence when trying to trade in a vehicle. As time goes on, cars depreciate and having a car loan that is upside down can make things a little more difficult when you want to trade in your vehicle. However, it won't be impossible to get a new car, but it's always best to have some value in your current vehicle. What is your current trade-in worth? Most dealerships will inspect your vehicle and let you know what they are willing to pay. We cannot stress enough how important it is to take care of your car. The less damage a vehicle has both externally and internally will help you obtain a better trade-in value. Know Your Credit Score. There are many schools of thought when it comes to a credit score. Some feel that it's not as important when, in fact, it plays a very significant role in what type of financing you can obtain. The better the credit score, the better the interest rate. Those with excellent credit scores may even qualify for a zero percent interest rate. A good credit score may also help decrease the amount of down payment the lender requests. If you have a lower credit score, don't fret, there is still hope for financing. The lender may require a higher down payment, or they may attach a higher interest rate to offset their increased risk. Your financing representative will be able to go over all of your options and help you find the best rate for your position. Search the dealership's online inventory. Most dealerships have their current inventory listed online so consumers can browse in a more relaxed environment and know ahead of time what vehicle they would like to purchase. This process allows you to research what warranties are being offered by the dealership and any particular financing terms they may be offering. Know what payments you can afford. Before going car shopping, you should sit down and look at your monthly budget. Write out all of your monthly bills and see how much you can realistically afford. If you know what type of vehicle you want to purchase, call up your insurance agent and get a quote on the approximate cost of insurance payments. This step is often a forgotten portion of budgeting, but when purchasing a new vehicle, the cost of gas, insurance, and monthly payment is something you should consider. Contrary to popular belief, car salesman wants to see you in the right car for your budget. They are not looking to push an overpriced vehicle that is way out of your budget. The Car Buying Process Once you have completed all of your research, now, it's time to buy your vehicle. The process has many steps due to the nature of the purchase. However, it's worth every step to be able to drive away in the car of your choosing. If you have looked over the inventory online and found a car that you are interested in purchasing, then call the dealership and set up a test drive appointment. This step helps to cut down on time you would typically take walking around the dealership looking for a car. If you choose to hit the dealership first, then let the sales representative know what is most important to you when it comes to a vehicle. Will this be your daily driver? How much can you afford for a monthly payment? Do you prefer a new or used car? These are all questions that can help you narrow down your choices. New cars may be more affordable than you think. A common misconception is that used cars are always more affordable; however, if you are looking to finance your vehicle, this may not be the case. Pre-owned vehicle may have lower overall sticker prices on average- when financing newer vehicles tend to receive better financing options. This fact can be for a few different reasons. One of which is that lenders look at their risk when they approve or deny a loan. Newer cars have often had no prior owners are fresh off the manufacturer's production line, so there is no risk of malfunctions. Determining What's Important When it comes to knowing what to do before buying a car, there are many opinions on the topic. Just remember that when it comes to purchasing a new or used vehicle, the team at Homer Skelton Ford in Millington is here to help.

Do you need a cargo van for your business and aren't sure what to get? While comparing vehicles can tell you a lot, it can also overwhelm you with information. Determining what's best for you can often feel like a compromise. Luckily there's a simple solution to meet your needs. The AWD Ford Transit is the best all-round choice for companies needing cargo vans. It has the space, features, and performance they need to get the job done. Keep reading to learn why the Ford Transit 4x4 is your ideal choice. Get the Layout You Need The number one reason to get a cargo van is the space that it offers. This can take the shape of a shipping container or as a mobile workspace. The fact of the matter is that you rely on it to accommodate whatever your needs are. Variations include three different lengths, three different heights, and two different engines that can be equipped with all-wheel-drive. The Ford Transit can easily be configured to suit your business. With an impressive cargo space of 487.3 cubic feet on the largest model, it can house just about anything you can think of. Having that space also allows you to install add-ons to support business-specific needs. Storage lockers, racks, and other modifications are available, depending on your needs. New for 2020 will be a crew van, adding a second, three-seat row. This feature will be a lifesaver for businesses requiring transportation for teams of workers. Four-Wheel Power Another important addition to the 2020 Transit is the addition of an all-wheel-drive option. Different settings will divert power as needed, with the standard-setting sending 100% of the torque to the front axle. By defaulting power to the front axle, you're saved the fuel penalty that comes with fulltime AWD setups. City driving is managed by a more typical front-drive setup which is perfect for the predictability of urban terrain. Need to navigate a slippery or uneven surface? The Transit's on-board computers will send power to all four wheels as needed, ensuring that you never get stuck. Tackle snow, gravel, and mud with confidence. Whatever the surface, the Transit van will make sure get through smoothly. Power goes where it's needed when it's needed. Speaking of power, it comes from one of two engine choices. The first is an EcoBoost 3.5L PFDI V6 producing a healthy 295-hp and 280-lb-ft of torque. Standing for Port Fuel and Direct Injection, PFDI helps maximize power while improving fuel efficiency. If you're looking for more power, there's a second EcoBoost 3.5L V6. This one is a twin-turbo worth an impressive 310-hp and 400-lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic. Fuel economy hasn't been announced, but the standard 10-speed transmission, wider gear ratios, and stop-start technology will help keep fuel consumption low. Stay Safe The right cargo van doesn't just transport your goods. It also keeps your wares, and your crew, safe. Ford has taken safety seriously, implementing a number of technologies as standard features. Among them is Pre-Collision Assist, which automatically applies the brakes if the van detects a possible collision. Pedestrian Detection helps monitor for blind spots, whether in parking lots, at crosswalks, or on the job site. Forward collision warning, automatic high beams, and Ford's Lane-Keeping System also come standard. A rear-camera is also included, helping to check blind spots and navigate into loading docks. Adaptable cruise control and an electronic governor to limit top speeds are also available. So too is a front/rear split-camera to provide greater coverage to the driver. Active Park Assist can also be added. This autonomous feature lets the Transit back into parking spaces, or even parallel park itself. Stay Connected The rise of in-car technologies has led to many workers using their vehicles as temporary offices. Being able to work in isolation, wherever you are, is a great benefit to those who find themselves traveling between job sites. The Transit meets this need by including a 4G LTE WiFi Hot Spot. Connectivity is available for up to 10 devices, meeting anyone's office needs. USB ports are available at every seat and a 12-volt outlet is included, as well. Cup holders are plentiful, as are storage areas. The infotainment unit is an 8-inch touchscreen display mounted on the dash. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available, offering greater connectivity. Climate control is managed through physical knobs, allowing easy adjustment without navigating through Ford's Sync3 System. Enjoy the Ride Whether carrying a full-load or returning an empty truck, the Transit van offers a smooth ride. The suspension absorbs most bumps, and acoustic materials help eliminate wind and road noise. Both engines offer consistent power, while the transmission smoothly shifts between gears. The all-wheel-drive system is unintrusive, splitting power between the four wheels as needed. The seats are well-bolstered. Firm yet comfortable, they make it easy to manage long rides. Swivel seats are available in the front, as well. Getting in and out is easy thanks to the lowered step-in height. No relying on the overhead grab handles to pull yourself into these cargo vans. The high ceiling allows even taller drivers to comfortably sit upright while driving. Access to the cargo space has never been easier. Power sliding doors allow you hands-free entrance. Best of all, dual sliding doors are an option, allowing access from both sides. Final Thoughts on the AWD Ford Transit The world of cargo vans has evolved greatly over the last decade. For years, cargo vans were mechanically simple, focusing more on storage capacity than performance. The driving experience never even factored into it. As technologies develop, commercial vehicles benefit from these breakthroughs. The AWD Ford Transit is a perfect example of this. State-of-the-art engineering means the less fuel is needed to create more power. Better yet, all four wheels are available to keep things moving when needed. Far from being sparse, the interior rivals what you'd find in almost any passenger vehicle. Connectivity and comfort aren't sacrificed for the sake of utility. The safety features are cutting-edge and the driving experience is familiar to anyone who's sat behind the wheel of an SUV or truck.
