Beck Ford Lincoln

You love your Ford F-150. You drive it just about everywhere. It’s what gets you where you need to go. While you might keep up with regular maintenance on it, after a while, just like any other vehicle, it’s going to be susceptible to wear and tear. Eventually, something is going to happen where you’ll need a repair done. In that case, where would you take it?

If your vehicle needs repair, don’t just take it to any garage or repair shop. Palatka Beck Ford Lincoln can help repair your vehicle. Why go to us over someone else? Read on to learn more about the benefits of getting your vehicle repaired by us.

Not only do our mechanics have special equipment within reach, but they are constantly trained on the latest happenings with Ford vehicles so they are consistently making repairs with the latest parts and techniques.

It’s Easier for Us to Get the Parts You Need

When it comes to repairs on your vehicle, there’s going to come a time when a replacement part is needed. At a lot of other places, they may have to special order a part to complete the repair. This means two things: first, you may have to wait days or even weeks to get your car back while they wait for the part to come in. Second, you’re going to pay more out of pocket since you will not only be paying for the part, but may have to pay extra just to have them order and ship it to you. 

With our service department, you won’t run into these kinds of headaches. Since we specialize in repairing Ford vehicles, we have the parts in stock to properly fix your vehicle. It not only makes it easier for us to repair your vehicle for you, but it also saves you time and money. And since our team is certified in working specifically on this model of vehicle, you can be assured that they know how to properly repair and replace any parts you may need for your F-150, whereas a local mechanic may have to do trial and error. 

It Might Be Covered By Your Warranty

All Ford vehicles come with a limited warranty. This means that if your vehicle is under a certain number of years or miles, any repairs that you might need for your vehicle will be covered free of charge. The Ford Limited Warranty covers the following:

  • Powertrain Warranty – 5 years or 60,000 miles

  • Bumper to bumper – 3 years or 36,000 miles

Ford Maverick

So you want to own something a little bit different than the vehicle you’ve owned before. Maybe the 4-door sedan is getting kind of boring, but you don’t want some giant SUV or some tiny little thing. Have you considered getting a pickup truck? 

Maybe that last sentence seems a bit confusing, but when you consider the Ford Maverick as an option, you might just realize that a pickup truck is exactly what you’ve been looking for all along. Today we’re going to look at the vehicle that has been named the North American Truck of the Year: the 2022 Ford Maverick.

Productivity

The Maverick is capable of a lot of things. The most impressive has to be that it is the first pickup truck of its kind to include a 2.5L full hybrid engine. It also sports a jaw-dropping EPA-estimated 40 MPG city, which means that not only are you cutting emissions to help the environment, but you can keep driving with fewer fill-ups in between. 

If you get the available 2.0L Ecoboost engine, you not only get 250 horsepower with 277 lb-ft of torque, but it also comes with all-wheel drive which means that driving just about anywhere becomes that much easier. And let’s not forget that this vehicle can tow 2,000 lbs (or 4,000 if you spring for the 4K Tow Package) and has a 1,500 lbs payload, which means you can carry or tow just about anything you need to.

Versatility

One of the things that makes the Maverick so bold is that it’s incredibly versatile in terms of what it provides. 

The storage capabilities in this vehicle mean you have multiple ways to store away and move the things you need to bring with you, from the Flexbed that provides you with dividers for easier transport to door pocket storage, under-seat storage, and six tie-downs in your truck bed that make it easier than ever before to transport anything in the Maverick.

Interior

People always say that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, and that couldn’t be more true in the Maverick. It may be compact on the outside, but it’s spacious on the inside and includes several features that make your ride as comfortable as ever. 

With seating for up to 5 people and ample leg room, there’s plenty of space for everyone. An available moonroof allows you to let the outdoors in and stargaze in comfort. 

Compatibility with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto not only allows you to access all your apps through the included touchscreen, but also uses SYNC 3 technology to provide you with easy access and hands-free phone calls so you can stay connected to the world around you at all times. 

You can also listen to your favorite music through the included six-speaker system or the available B&O eight-speaker sound system for the most pristine way to enjoy your music. Wireless charging for your devices and two 400-watt 110V outlets give you plenty of options to charge up your devices or just plug in when you need to.

Exterior

There are several great exterior features that show why the Maverick is Built Ford Tough. The multi-position tailgate includes adjustable retention cords, so you can have your tailgate opened, closed, or somewhere in between based on what you need. Box lighting in your truck bed and two 12V pre-wired connections make it easy to work in your bed truck and connect just about anything. 

The Maverick is rugged but not bulky and designed from the ground up for city living with its compact body and its ability to maneuver unlike any other pickup truck on the market.

Ford EcoSport

If you’re about to purchase a car, why not make sure it’s environmentally friendly and economical? It makes all the sense in the world: your car affects the environment from when you step on the accelerator till you turn off the engine. Reduce your carbon footprint while driving in comfort and style in a Ford EcoSport.

Redesigned with the environment in mind

The EcoSport brings Ford’s commitment to the environment to the forefront while giving you all the benefits of performance and safety. While fuel prices continue to climb, this crossover SUV boasts a respectable 30 MPG, saving you the hassle of extra trips to the pump. 

The standard 2.0L engine is supported by a four-cylinder, 6-speed automatic transmission and variable 123 horsepower. Ford’s EcoSport offers you the fuel efficiency you desire without affecting the power and performance you need on the road. 

The intelligent design of the automatic Start-Up technology allows the driver to save on fuel by shutting off the engine while idling in traffic. Simply press the accelerator, and the engine automatically switches on to give you a smooth start. This innovative technology allows the driver to reduce carbon emissions by limiting fuel waste, leading to less unnecessary pollution. 

Adding to its environmental friendliness, the EcoSport also comes standard with the Hill Start Assist feature. This allows the driver to switch from the brake to the accelerator without worrying about rolling backward while stopped on a steep incline. A worry-free transition from braking to acceleration means less engine work and a smoother start forward. 

New technology saves drivers time and money on repairs.

MYKEY is an impressive safety component offered as a standard feature on the EcoSport. The MYKEY gives parents the peace of mind that their young drivers are safe behind the wheel. With safety controls such as mandated safety-belt use and max speed limitation controls, the EcoSport is an excellent choice for teens to learn great driving habits. 

The BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) technology allows drivers the comfort of knowing their surroundings on the road at all times. BLIS detects and notifies the driver of any vehicles in hard-to-see blind spots. With the BLIS, you decrease the chance of a collision and costly automotive repairs. 

As every driver knows: accidents happen. But with the EcoSport’s Cross Traffic technology, drivers are alerted to vehicles behind them when backing up from a parking space or driveway. An increasing series of alerts sound as the driver comes closer to an object or vehicle behind them, leading to fewer accidents. 

Smart interior design

Experience a fun and comfortable interior in the well-designed EcoSport. With the impressive 60/40 flip-up seating and optional split-fold-flat seating, you’ll spend less time running back and forth for errands. The large stowing capacity allows the driver to haul more of what they need, which saves fuel in the long run. 

The ACTIVEX seating material offered in the SES and Titanium packages provides a sporty look with the longevity of a synthetic material built to withstand your active lifestyle. ACTIVEX interior seating and trim ensure that your EcoSport will stay looking fresh and stylish long into the future. 

Available options like heated seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel give you a feeling of luxury with the reassurance that you are doing your part to stay environmentally friendly on the road. With one-touch power windows and powered adjustable driver seating, driving being the wheel of a Ford EcoSport brings excitement and comfort to the road. 

The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system provides easy access to your mobile devices and offers smart charging ports to stay connected during any road trip. The touchscreen LCD display includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, as well as apps like Ford+Alexa, adding convenience and fun to your driving experience. 

The decision to be environmentally conscious when choosing a vehicle doesn’t mean you have to give up on the comforts of driving in style. The EcoSport can offer you the best of both worlds. With available options like hands-free entry, keyless ignition, and heated mirrors, reducing your carbon footprint has never been so stylish.

Discover the possibilities

Protecting our planet for future generations is a priority everyone strives to accomplish. Making smart decisions about your environmental impact is an easy way to do your part in keeping nature healthy and prosperous. The Ford EcoSport is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and still enjoy the experience of driving.
