A Stunning 400-HP Engine Although the 2023 edition offers plenty of powerful engines to choose from, starting with a turbocharged 300-horsepower 4-cylinder as the base option, it's the Raptor model's 3.0-liter V6 that has received the most praise. This is not only because of its outstanding 400-horsepower output, but also the quick acceleration it lends the vehicle with its 440 pound-feet of torque, as well as a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds. 2. Luxurious and Stylish Seats Despite having a rugged, tough-looking appearance, the Bronco's interior is stylish, and its many seating options all deliver maximum comfort.

It's a safe bet that most Ford car and truck buyers have heard some reference to the "limited warranty" offered on new cars. It's also a safe bet that very few buyers actually know what that warranty does and does not cover. Basically, a warranty offers protection to the buyer from defects in manufacturing. Knowing and understanding what the new car warranty from your Ford dealership covers can save you a lot of time, hassle, and money down the road. more What Is the Car Warranty From a Ford Dealership? The typical warranty contains some important numbers, specifically 3/36,000. This means that the warranty covers your new car for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. So if you buy a car and put 40,000 miles on it in the first year, your warranty runs out. But what specific parts does the warranty cover? A garden-variety warranty is usually referred to as a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty, which means that virtually every part of the vehicle is protected. Are All Parts of the Car Covered for the Same Period/Mileage? There are actually several exceptions to the 3-year/36,000-mile standard warranty. Diesel engines, powertrain, and safety restraint systems are covered for up to 5 years or 60,000 miles Perforation-type corrosion (limited scope) is covered for up to 5 years or unlimited miles SuperDuty trucks with the optional diesel engine are covered for up to 5 years or 100,000 miles Emissions systems are covered for up to 8 years or 80,000 miles Ford's roadside assistance coverage period is also 5 years or 60,000 miles What Do the Different Warranties Cover? The 5/60,000 powertrain warranty covers the engine, transmission, and all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Corrosion protection is limited to environmental causes (12/12,000), but it does not include things like hail or tree damage. The seatbelt and airbag system warranty is federally mandated. Parts such as the catalytic converter and other emission modules and parts are covered for 8 years/80,000 miles. Ford also offers some tire warranty in the form of a percentage of replacement cost up to 36,000 miles. What's Not Included? Normal maintenance items such as wiper blades, oil and filters, brake pads, and air filters are not included. Damage done to the paint via chemicals is likewise not covered. Modifying the engine or body in any way can void your warranty, so it's a good idea to check with your dealer beforehand. Damage caused by driving into deep water is not covered. Finally, using your vehicle for commercial use such as a ride-sharing service is not covered by your warranty. A warranty is as much a part of buying a car as picking up your keys. Understanding the details of the different warranties can help you avoid new-ownership pitfalls. If you have any questions about your warranty, give us a call at Rochester Ford today. We're happy to clear up any issues and help you understand the fine print.

In other words, The Lightning is a look at what's to come for drivers. more 5 Things We Know About the New 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning 1. Builds on the F-150 Legend The Lightning shares more than a name with the traditional F-150. Both have similar body and cabin structures, but the former trades a gasoline-powered engine for two electric motors and one of two battery packs. The first battery - known as the Standard-Range - can deliver up to 230 miles per charge. The Extended-Range pack approaches 300 miles. In addition, the Lightning comes standard as all-wheel drive and can tow up to 10,000 pounds. 2. Can Power Your Home The Lightning is 100% electric and provides environmentally-friendly benefits like zero tailpipe emissions and clean battery power. But this truck has your back in more situations than merely driving. If you experience a power outage in severe weather, the Lightning can power your home for up to three days on a fully charged battery. You can extend this window to 10 days if you're careful with power usage. How many vehicles can boast such capabilities? 3. Delivers Plenty of Muscle When equipped with the Standard-Range battery we mentioned a moment ago, the Lightning's motors combine to push out 426 horsepower. The Extended-Range battery raises this to 563 horses, and torque maxes at an impressive 775 lb-ft with either setup. These numbers have convinced us the Lightning will perform with a brisk and brawny touch. 4. Makes Charging Easy Buyers can charge their Lightnings at home with 110- and 220-volt outlets.

The pickup then relays this information to you so you're always aware of energy levels. 5. Showcases a Well-Equipped Cabin The Lightning gives a standard 12-inch infotainment display that is bigger than what you'll find in the traditional F-150. It also contains a voluminous front-trunk cargo bay, and although it will be offered only as a crew cab at first, different configurations may be available later on.
