Most Ford vehicles need to have their tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This interval varies by model, so be sure to check your owner's manual. You might be wondering why switching your tires around is so important. In answer to that, here are four good reasons to visit your local Ford dealer for tire rotation two or three times a year. 4 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation for Your Ford Stay Safer on the Road The tires of any car are put under an unequal amount of pressure. The uneven weight distribution or power of a front or rear-wheel drive ensures that one or two tires are wearing down faster. This uneven wear occurs in the tread depth of each tire. Tread depth is the primary thing that keeps your tires from losing traction on sharp curves of the road. It's unwise to let just one or two tires wear down to a much farther degree than the others. All it takes is a single tire losing traction to cause a skid. Regular rotation greatly mitigates this risk. more Keep Proper Wheel Alignment Various factors can cause ever-so-slight misalignment in your wheels. It might be an underlying issue with your suspension or steering or resulting from a pothole impact. Also, a worn ball joint, faulty strut, or worn down tie rod might cause camber issues: a slightly tilting wheel. When left undetected, these problems lead tire treads to wear excessively on the inside or outside. This will further exacerbate the misalignment or camber issue, which eventually poses a safety risk to the driver and also forces you to replace your tires more frequently. Each time you go in for rotation, your technician will detect and repair any such problems. Save Cash on New Tires As tires are almost always bought in sets of four, replacing your tires isn't an insignificant cost. Tires typically last for 40,000 to 60,000 miles. And periodical rotation helps your tires survive closer to the 60,000-mile mark. Over the entire lifespan of your Ford, this might mean just four or five sets of tires rather than six or seven. That could easily be an extra one or two thousand dollars, or even more, in your pocket. Keep Your Warranty Valid Last but not least, it's always worth maintaining a valid warranty. If you have a tire warranty, you can rest assured that your tires will be replaced at no cost in the case of premature failure. But all tire warranties stipulate regular rotation as a condition for validity. So check how often both your warranty and car owner manual recommend rotation and stick to the suggested schedule. How a Ford Dealer Rotates Your Tires When you go in for rotation, the whole process usually takes about an hour. The technician will raise your car and inspect the tires, wheels, and axles. Any underlying problems found can be fixed at this point. They'll then swap the tires around using one of three patterns: the rearward cross, the forward cross, or the diagonal cross. The choice of the pattern depends on your vehicle's make and model. Have your tires inspected, rotated, or replaced today at Ken Ganley Ford West. We're the region's one-stop shop for all things Ford.

This leaves plenty of room inside to seat as many as five passengers, and the seating options themselves vary from power-adjustable heated seats to a rear-folding bench seat in the back. To protect cargo that you don't want to leave in the bed, there are 33 cubic feet of space available in the cabin, as well as an under-seat storage container, where it can stay hidden and out of the way. Technology To stay connected to the Internet, access satellite radio channels, or make and take phone calls while driving, there's both SYNC 3 and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot available. SYNC 3 is an infotainment system that pairs with an 8-inch touchscreen display to give you your choice of using either your voice or your hands to control everything from music selections to navigational info. The mobile hotspot allows you to connect up to eight devices simultaneously, and if anyone's smartphones need to be charged, there's a wireless charging pad available, as well. Safety The Maverick's safety features are all impressive, such as the Blind Spot Information System, which warns you of nearby vehicles, while the Auto High-Beam Headlamps automatically adjust to different lighting conditions. There's also the intuitive Adaptive Cruise Control, which lets you pre-select a speed for the truck to stay at while it uses both braking and acceleration to keep some distance between you and other vehicles in your lane.

Your Ford engine is the most important part of your car. It's also the most expensive to repair or replace if a serious problem develops. Fortunately, engine problems are usually easy to notice. Your Ford dealer can fix any of these problems for you. We listed some of the most common problems below. 3 Engine Problems You Should Get Fixed at Your Ford Dealer Failing Alternator Your alternator's job is to provide electrical power for your car. It does this by converting mechanical energy from the movement of the crankshaft into magnetic energy and then DC. This relatively small device supplies all of the power for your car. An alternator will wear out like any other component and can also be damaged. A worn or damaged alternator will cause major problems for your electrical system. An alternator that can't produce enough power will cause random glitches in the electrical system. These problems will become more frequent and serious as the alternator wears out. A lack of consistent electrical power can also affect vital systems like spark plugs and headlights. A worn-out alternator can't be repaired. We will need to test the alternator and replace it if it's been damaged. more Worn Piston Rings Each of the cylinders in your engine has a piston. Combustion requires air and fuel to mix in the intake manifold, and this mixture is then pumped into the cylinders. The piston in the cylinder then rises at high speed and compresses the air-fuel mix. When the piston reached the top of the cylinder, the spark plug ignites the mixture, and the piston drops down to expel the combustion residue. The rings are attached to the piston, and they ensure that the piston has an airtight seal as it moves upwards. This seal is essential, as compression can't work with an airtight seal. Over time, the rings can become worn, and this can allow additional air to enter the cylinder. The reduced compression will affect your engine performance and increase fuel expenditure. We will examine the rings and replace any that are damaged. Damaged Radiator Hoses The radiator acts as a heat exchange for the heat generated in your engine. Engine heat is carried to the radiator inside liquid coolant. Once inside the radiator, the hot coolant is rapidly cooled by airflow through the grille. The radiator is connected to the rest of the cooling system with rubber hoses. The hoses need to be replaced regularly. Worn hoses become less flexible and can develop cracks these cracks can develop into holes, and you could develop a coolant leak. We'll examine your hoses and replace them if they're damaged. If you suspect a problem in your engine, call us today at Ken Ganley Ford West.
