You can enjoy the perks of your powerful vehicle while embracing your inner child in the “outdoor adventure playground” experience. The Off Rodeo allows you to develop your off-roading skills and bond with a group of people who are just as big fans of the Bronco as you are!

FordPass Perks
In recent years, Ford has been working towards maintaining their customers satisfaction long after they leave the dealership. The most notable addition to this initiative is the FordPass, a virtual assistant app designed to keep customers safe and happy.
The apps best features include roadside assistance and the ability to set up complimentary maintenance. The roadside assistance is perfect for any emergent situation. You can quickly receive help for fuel delivery, flat-tire repair and more through a simple call or e-request. The maintenance feature can be used towards service repairs, purchasing accessories or to personalize your Ford vehicle. These programs can be life saving, especially the 911 assist. This automatically contacts 911 if an airbag deploys.
Another bonus of the FordPass is its reward system. You can earn rewards for the amount you spend and put them towards other expenses. For example, you can earn money off your next service appointment or even your next vehicle. You can also gain a first hand look at new discounts and special events.
FordPass is also helpful in your day to day life. The Connect and Control feature in the app allows users to lock and unlock their vehicle, schedule a start and check their gas/fluid levels in the app. You can also access vehicle health reports and receive reminders for things like service appointments.
These amazing features can be downloaded onto your device for free today!

The announcement of Ford’s Mustang Mach-E First Edition in 2019 took the internet by a storm that has not settled since. While its release is awaited with anticipation, the Mach-E’s crossover style has left us all with questions. I hope to ease concerns and showcase all of the positives that come with this new version of the classic car.
The biggest pro of the Mach-E is it’s mechanical power. The Mustangs have a reputation of being impressive vehicles and as the newest edition, the Mach-E has to deliver on its horsepower to be seen as a true member of the collection. The design has followed through, and the vehicle features a horsepower of 480. This is great news for fans of previous Mustangs. The Mach-E continues to prove its place in its 0-60 time. Clocking in at an impressive less than 4 seconds, this electric powerhouse is set to be a crowd pleaser. On top of all these technical pros, the electric charging design will also do wonders for the environment.
On top of its mechanics, the Mach-E also has many amazing cosmetic features to offer buyers. Because as important as horsepower is who really wants to drive without a heated steering wheel? On top of that luxury, the Mach-E comes in many different models so customers can have their pick of styles.
The question on everyone’s mind is why the Mach-E is a better buy than Tesla. The Mach-E has an improved version of the notorious dashboard that’s on every car fanatics bucket list. The modernity of the large touch screen creates a contrast against the 60’s reminiscent Mustang logo embossed wheel and door sill plates. The Mach-E keeps users safe by keeping its controls in just the place you expect in a Mustang. This avoids user error, while the other features maintain the wow factor of the vehicle. This feature amongst others like the Mach-E’s ability to open the trunk from its own smartphone app, the contrast of the roofline and windowline’s directions and its outstanding cargo space all put the Mach-E above competing brands.
