Ford Bronco and Ford Ranger Could Make a Return in 2018

Ford Bronco and Ranger Could Make a Return in 2018

JACKSON, Mich. – Saddle up because two of America’s favorite vehicles from Ford Motor Co., the Ford Bronco and Ford Ranger, could make a return in 2018.

News of the Bronco comes at the heels of a recent rumor disclosing Ford's plans to manufacture the Ranger at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne by 2018. Ford currently builds the Focus and C-Max at the Wayne plant, but plans to move that production to Mexico in 2018, potentially creating the perfect space for two Ford classics.

The era of the Ranger ended in 2011 for America when Ford’s last midsize pickup came off the line at Twin Cities Assembly Plant in Minnesota. However, the Ranger continues to sell in 180 global markets outside of the U.S., and is now manufactured in Nigeria, South Africa, Thailand, and Nigeria.

Ford discontinued the Bronco in 1996 after 30 years at the Wayne plant to make room for the Expedition, which eventually moved to Kentucky Truck for production. The first glint of a possible resurrection occurred when Ford exhibited a new Bronco concept at the 2004 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Ford is negotiating a contract with the United Auto Workers in regards to bringing Ranger and Bronco production to the Wayne plant. The union and must decide if both vehicles would fit well at the plant and with its 4,500 workers, and then Ford’s board of directors must approve the decision.

It’s likely the reason for why the Ford Bronco and Ford Ranger could make a return in 2018 stems from a recent uptick in brands producing trucks for the midsize truck segment – the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Toyota Tacoma, and Nissan Frontier – as well as growing sales from Jeep, which produced vehicles similar to what Ford envisions the Bronco competing against.

You have to wonder if Ford has always had intentions to bring the Ranger and Bronco back to the U.S. Considering the excitement surrounding the probably return of these vehicles, we’re guessing it was a strategic move on Ford’s part. The automaker knows how to give drivers their ideal vehicles, and we strive to follow the same strategy at our Adrian area used car dealership. The Ranger and Bronco won’t be here until 2018. In the meantime, stop by and let us help you find the perfect Certified Pre-Owned car or truck for you.

Trails Meet Their Match in 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor

JACKSON, Mich. – If you’ve ever hit the trails in a pickup, you know how dirty and dangerous things can get. But it's time to forget those days because the trails have met their match in the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor.

The new trail-conquering pickup from Ford Motor Co. is literally a mix of components taken from the 2015 F-150 and Raptor. Together these two trucks – both extremely popular and touted as the best – form the most dynamic pickup we’ve seen on the trails.

Of course, we know that trails have met their match in the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor because, well, we’ve seen this monster in action. Ford took the F-150 Raptor up to some of the harshest trails in Northern Michigan to put the truck to the test, and it didn’t seem to struggle at all climbing over hills, ripping through ruts, and essentially shaming the trails.

Credit for the 2017 F-150 Raptor’s capabilities goes to its increased ground clearance, heightened from the first generation Raptor, as well as new 3.0-inch FOX Racing Shox that come with internal bypass technology. The heightened ground clearance provides more space between the ground and the chassis, while the shock absorption technology reduces and bolsters suspension travel over rough terrain.

Additionally, and as expected, the 2017 F-150 Raptor is built with an all-new four-wheel drive, torque-on-demand transfer case that sends power to the front and rear wheels and combines focal points of clutch-driven, on-demand all-wheel drive with mechanical-locking four-wheel drive.

We’re ready to take the 2017 F-150 Raptors out on the trails, and soon enough you can too. The truck will be ready for test-driving in fall 2016. Stop by our Clarklake area used car dealership where we have an unbeatable inventory of new Ford trucks and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.

Lincoln Exclusive Automotive Sponsor of 2015 Fash Bash, Fundraiser for Detroit Institute of Arts

JACKSON, Mich. – Forever in the throes of romantic luxury, Lincoln Motor Company prides itself on having a deep passion for the arts, which Lincoln founder Edsel Ford was keen on implementing into the automaker's vehicles.

Lincoln shows reverence for the arts through quality craftsmanship, evident in the prominent luxury design elements of its vehicles, but it makes a toast to culture in other ways as well. This year, Lincoln was the exclusive automotive sponsor of 2015 Fash Bash, a fundraiser for the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA).

Founders Junior Council, a DIA offshoot of young professionals, began Fash Bash in 1970. From then on the fundraiser became one of Detroit’s most conspicuous fundraising events, garnering attention from the most prominent figures in metro Detroit’s fashion and art scenes and raising more than $44 million to date.

This year, Lincoln awed Fash Bash attendees with a fresh Lincoln Black Label theme – The Muse – exemplified in the all-new 2016 Lincoln MKX. The automaker brought the eventful night to a culmination with the Lincoln Black Label Afterglow.

The Muse harkens back to a 1920s Parisian lifestyle steeped in art. It was also an American era termed the Roaring Twenties, a time of revelry, high culture, aristocratic tendencies, and the decade Lincoln truly took off as a luxury automotive brand.

Lincoln successfully mirrored the era’s romantic and artistic qualities in the 2016 MKX with a two-tone interior ambience of Rouge Noir and Quarts, harmonized with Artisan aluminum trim. Additionally, Quartz Venetian leather seats with Linking-L perforation inserts accentuate the Rouge Noir Alcantara headliner.

The Muse is the brand’s loftiest display of quality, craftsmanship, and personal service, and takes root in Lincoln’s affection for extraordinary art like that which sprung out of the 1920s in Paris. When you consider the heart-fluttering, artful interior and exterior design of the 2016 MKX, it must have been an obvious decision to name Lincoln as the exclusive automotive sponsor of 2015 Fash Bash to raise funds for the DIA.

If the details behind the all-new MKX seem tantalizing, take a look at our inventory of new Lincoln cars at our Adrian area Lincoln dealer. You can have your very own 2016 Lincoln MKX in fall 2015, so place your order now and in the meantime continue your dream of driving in unprecedented luxury.

Lincoln Continental Concept Provides Comfort with 30-Way Seats

JACKSON, Mich. – You’re a unique individual with preferences that extend from what meals you eat to how you like to sit. So why do the seats in todays vehicles come up short in functioning to make you a more comfortable driver?

The new Lincoln Continental Concept provides comfort with 30-way seats that adapt to your individual preferences and needs more effectively than traditional seats used in current vehicle models, according to Jonathon Line, advanced seat innovation supervisor and technical expert at Lincoln.

The seats provide a wealth of comfort through a range of possible adjustments as well as Lincoln’s patented flexible comfort carrier. They match the shape of your body thanks to a suspension system made of plastic and a thin layer of foam that relieves your shoulders and neck by taking over the burden of support.

Additional luxurious features of the seats that provide comfort to you are two extending thigh cushions that can be extended or moved up and down separately, a rolling massage function in the back and cushion, and the ability to heat or cool.

Lincoln wants to step away from the one-size-fits-all approach to seat design because they understand the important connection between your body and mind. If you aren’t comfortable behind the wheel then you won’t be as cognizant of your driving, or of other drivers, as you should be.

In order for the Lincoln Continental Concept to provide comfort with 30-way seats, Lincoln seat engineers analyzed the design elements and technology found in first-class and private airplane seats. Imagine commuting to work and experience the luxury of first-class.

Lincoln is on the rise as America’s prominent luxury car brand, which makes us all the more excited to be a Lincoln dealer near Adrian, Mich. But luxury Lincoln cars aren’t the only brand we deal with – We also carry a vast array of used cars and trucks. Stop in for a test-drive and find the vehicle that makes you comfortable.

Ford to Manufacture the 2016 Ranger in Nigeria

JACKSON, Mich. – Should you just get over the idea of Ford Motor Co. bringing the Ranger back to the states? Unfortunately, it’s looking that way now that Ford will manufacture the 2016 Ranger in Nigeria, but, of course, not in the U.S.

While we don’t think you should feel bitter about the decision – or the fact that over 148 other global markets across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa have the Ranger but you don’t – we definitely understand why you might be a little upset.

The last Ranger that rolled of a U.S. assembly line was in St. Paul, Minn., back in December 2011. It has only been a few years since a next-generation Ranger was available to American truck buyers, but if you’re one of them it probably feels more like an eon.

Not to cause you even more heartache over the fact that Ford will manufacture the 2016 Ranger in Nigeria, but the automaker’s popular midsize pickup is already making a huge name for itself through some impressive specifications. Along with its versatility that makes it a great off-road and city vehicle, the new Ranger can two around 8,000 pounds, can wade through over 2 feet of water, and was artfully designed to conquer steep ascents and descents.

Are you feeling pretty jealous right now? You’re feeling jealous right now.

The good news is the 2016 Ranger could be a catalyst for improving the lives of Nigerians. The new Ranger will be assembled in a new Ford plant located in Ikeja, a suburb of Lagos, with body parts and components imported from South Africa. The assembly plant will create 180 new jobs and produce around 5,000 units annually that are exclusively sold in Nigeria.

While we’re as envious as you are that customers in practically every other global market outside of North America get to sit behind the wheel of the 2016 Ranger, we’re also very proud to be a Ford dealer knowing that Ford cares about providing feasible transportation, jobs, and community improvement all over the world.

Ford’s impact on global communities has a deep influence on how we involve ourselves in our local community. Along with hosting and sponsoring local events to improve the community and inform local citizens, we also like to remind our customers that we care a great deal about the quality of their vehicles.
