Ford’s SYNC 3 Reviewed
Eight years ago, Ford introduced Sync. In 2008 it was revolutionary. You could push a button and ask it to call anyone on your contact list or tell it to play a specific artist or album stored on your phone. Amazing right?
Fast forward to today and #Sync3, as it is now known, is referred to as an infotainment system that combines navigation, stereo, phone and a graphical app platform called AppLink. All of this in a clean interface with fast response.
Ford maintains a consistent layout in Sync 3 to minimize driver distraction. As an example, whether listening to FM or satellite radio, preset buttons were in the same place on the screen. although the satellite radio screen adds a few buttons for additional features.
The color scheme of light blue-on-blueof Sync 3 complements the clean and simple graphic. It makes information easy to read in all types of lighting conditions. To ensure function, sliders and buttons can be found throughout the interface. It’s oh-so-easy to use and allows the driver to navigate the system safely while driving.
Although navigation is part of Sync 3’s repertoire, some may prefer their smartphone’s navigation. No problem, as Sync 3 supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Just plug either an iPhone 5 or later model, with updated iOS, or an Android phone running Android 5.0 or later, into the car’s USB port. and Sync 3 gives way to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

The Ford F-SERIES lineup of trucks are preferred by America’s agriculture and livestock industries with 40 percent of farmworkers driving the #F-150 and 36 percent using Super Duty trucks to get the job done!
Starting in 1948, Ford Motor Company began to sponsor the FFA. Since 1997, Ford has committed $9.2 million to the organization with Built Ford Tough scholarships for tomorrow’s farmers.
Building upon this working relationship, Ford collaborated with the National Future Farmers of America (FFA) Organization and Discovery Education to give 54,000 students around the United States an inside look at how the company designs and engineers trucks to meet future needs of America’s future farmers and agricultural leaders.
The 45-minute virtual field trip was streamed live to more than 1,000 classrooms allowing students to meet Ford truck designers, program engineers and product durability engineers. Throughout the session, students had the ability to email and tweet questions live to speakers.
Doug Scott, Ford truck group marketing manager, shared, “We were excited to undertake this new opportunity with FFA and Discovery Education. What better way to demonstrate the power and capability of F-Series trucks and the customer leadership Ford owns, than through the hands and eyes of our future toughest employees and customers.”
Today’s farmers enjoy more fuel efficient comfortable and connected #F-Series trucks. With features like like Trailer Reverse Guidance, adaptive steering and BLIS with trailer tow technology, their job just got easier.

Ford Aims To Tame Cold Weather Driving
The big chill of 2013-14 was a bone-numbing, snowfall laden event for the Northeast that added a new word to our vocabulary: Polar vortex. Following this historical weather event, customers told Ford they wanted cold weather features available on their vehicles. Ford listened.
They started by forming the Ford extreme climate team that met with market-specific customers not only in North America but around the globe to better understand what drivers in harsh weather conditions need and expect.
Ford’s extreme climate team hosted a customer clinic in Edmonton, Alberta, to hear what drivers had to say about winter driving challenges they faced. Nicole Mazur, product development quality supervisor for Ford Canada and export markets shared their findings saying, “What our customers in Canada told us is simple – heat everything! They wanted better access to some of the cold weather features Ford was already offering on its higher-series vehicles.”
Mazur and Melissa DeLuka, her job share partner, spearheaded North American input into Ford’s extreme climate team saying “Sometimes, it’s about comfort, but other times it’s more than that. What much of the United States experienced with the polar vortex is what northern Canada gets every year.”
Customer feedback indicated that drivers wanted a heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, seats and windshield wiper de-icer as standard equipment. From there, #Ford got to work to incorporate winter features into their cars and trucks to satisfy their customers. One example is SYNC Connect on the 2017 Ford Escape that provides drivers with an even better remote start and vehicle pre-conditioning capabilities.
At #BrewsterFord, www.brewsterford,com, we know it’s cold in Brewster NY. Let us show you a Ford vehicle that will get you to your final destination in style safely and with a warm glow! Come see us.

The assembly line became the characteristic American mode of production.”
Today, Ford continues to build upon its legacy of innovation by expanding advanced manufacturing capabilities and introducing technologies that could revolutionize mass production for decades to come. As an example, in 2017, Ford plans to increase its global manufacturing in a way that will significantly increase production flexibility. Four different vehicle models will able to be produced at each plant around the world. This manufacturing agility will enable greater adaptability to meet ever changing customer demand.
Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford shared, “One hundred years ago, my great-grandfather had a vision to build safe and efficient transportation for everyone. I am proud he was able to bring the freedom of mobility to millions by making cars affordable to families and that his vision of serving people still drives everything we do today.”

Ford has joined the fight against breast cancer in a big way. In 1993, Ford Motor Company got active in the fight and since that time, they have intensified their efforts in the fight with Ford Warriors in Pink. “What more can we do?” has become the group’s mantra and battle cry. Their mission is to help those touched by breast cancer by inspiring and empowering patients, survivors and co-survivors throughout their cancer journey.

Ford has partnered with breast cancer powerhouses like Susan G. Komen, Dr. Susan Love, The Pink Fund and the Young Survival Coalition (YSC).
Each year through targeted programs, events, sponsorships and partnerships, Warriors in Pink take action to support patients, survivors and co-survivors. To date, $130 million has been raised and donated to the cause to create over 60,000 “good day” experiences.
Breast cancer is relentless and the Warriors in Pink are relentless too in their dedication to lifting the spirits and lives of those impacted by the disease. They do so by offering tips, tools and resources to breast cancer patients through More Good Days programs, providing support for survivors from survivors with the Models of Courage program, commissioning studies to evaluate breast health topics and creating media events to generate awareness and prompt action.

Winterize Your Car And You’ll Go Far
You love living in the Brewster NY. What’s not to love, right? Well, maybe the winter months when life for you and your vehicle can present challenges. You pile on more clothes and get warm by the fire. Your ride on the other hand, sits in the cold garage until you decide to take it for a drive through the cold and snow. Be sure it’s prepared to get you there safely. Here are some tips for winterizing your car.
Check your coolant to make sure you have the correct antifreeze/water mixture to prevent fluid from freezing in your radiator. Read your vehicle’s owner’s manual for information on this mixture. Be sure the fluid is filled to the maximum line.
Oil, your car’s “blood”, should be thinner when you live where temperatures drop below freezing. Your best bet is to keep reading that owner’s manual or talk to your mechanic.
Wiper fluid is essential when rain and snow start falling Don’t overlook this winter switchover. You’ll need freeze-resistant wiper fluid to keep your windshield clean and your vision clear.
Watch your tires! Low pressure and worn tires are extremely dangerous on wet or slick roads when traction is compromised. Again, your owner’s manual will tell you the recommended PSI. If you live in an area with a lot of snowfall, consider snow tires.
