The Weather Edge

Posted on March 17, 2015 by admin

If the Escape is too small and the Explorer is too big, Ford has the perfect vehicle for you: The 2015 Ford Edge, which will be available soon at Johnson Brothers Ford. This near-premium crossover features two rows, but since it is almost as big as many of the three-row utility vehicles out there, it has tons of room for five adults plus cargo.

The 2015 model year adds even more styling and capability – the two things that Edge fans love. Since many Edge fans love the styling, the interior and exterior were updated, but kept the major design cues. The new Edge is sleeker than the outgoing year and uses even more upscale materials.

Instead of copying other brands, exterior designer Kevin George decided to keep a lot of the Edge’s styling to create an updated version of the utility vehicle. The new Edge was designed to meet customers’ expectations, according to George.

The 2015 Ford Edge has additional features including heated seats and a heated steering wheel, plus a lift gate that opens with a swish of a leg, making this model great for winter driving. Additional features include cameras and park assist.

Since the 2015 model year is coming in March 2015 and the 2016 model year is expected to come out in late fall of 2015, this will be a short year for this model. The 2014 model year is also still available and has been at dealerships since November 2013.

Other changes include an improved electric power steering, active park assist, a hands-free lift gate, a premium multi-link rear suspension, softer interior materials and a new trim level: the Titanium. The Limited will no longer be available. The base engine is a 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 275 pound-feet of torque and 245 horsepower.

The Edge Sport will feature a new 2.7-liter turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine that makes 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. The engine is smaller than the outgoing 3.7-liter, but makes more power.

As the weather begins to cool off in the south, you may be thinking about taking the family on a trip. Even if it’s just a weekend excursion, feel free to explore the places not too far from your Temple Ford dealer. One such place is the Cane River Creole National Historic Park.

This park, rich with history, is located in Parish, Louisiana within the Cane River National Heritage Area. This park includes 18.72 acres of the Magnolia Plantation and 44.16 acres of the Oakland Plantation. These two sites embrace a total of 67 historical homes and structures from over 200 years of farm life. Since the establishment of the park in 1994, the National Park Service has made enormous investments in the growth of this park. It takes pride in preserving these significant sites, landscapes and historical structures connected with the growth of the Creole culture.

Admission to the park and both the Magnolia and Oakland Plantations is free. Reservations are required for guests with groups larger than 15 people. Both plantations are open daily from 8am to 4pm. There is a guided tour every day at 1pm for the Oakland House while the Magnolia House is closed to tours at this time. Cell phone tours, however, are available at both locations. Visitors of all ages can enjoy activities at both of the plantations. There is a Junior Ranger program for the kids and Civil War trading cards to collect. Picking pecans is a family favorite during the fall months. Many picnic tables are located throughout the park as well.

Guests are welcome to pick their own vegetables at the Oakland Plantation Garden. There are many seasonal crops which were traditionally grown here. In the spring, the garden has peppers, okra, squash, eggplant and many other vegetables. The Oakland Garden was made possible by hard working staff members and local volunteers. While camping is not allowed in this park, there are many easily accessible campgrounds located nearby. The Nakatosh RV Park is just a 15-minute drive in your Johnson Brothers Ford. This park offers 30 tent sites, some with lakefront or pine forest views. Restrooms and showers are provided along with a laundry area and complimentary Wi-Fi access.

2015 Lincoln MKC

Posted on August 28, 2014 by admin
