For most Canadians, there aren’t many model brands that have been more innovative and advanced over the years than the Ford family. Each of its models have been bestsellers across the country for generations, which is evident especially in the case of the Explorer, Escape and Edge SUVs. All three brothers have some of the top features on the market at your disposal, and we’ve listed our five favourites for you today. Join our Sherwood Ford team in checking out what a Ford SUV can provide!
Enhanced Active Park Assist
With 12 ultrasonic sensors on board, Ford SUVs can detect open parking spaces that they can fit into so you won’t have to go through the hassle of trying to find one for yourself. Best yet, they’re able to park themselves; all you must do is shift, brake and accelerate!
180-Degree Camera
If it seems like the Explorer, Escape and Edge have the ability to see things that you might not be able to, that’s because they do. Look no further than the 180-Degree front-facing camera as proof of this, which can wash itself to keep your lens debris and dirt free!
Adaptive Cruise Control
On those busy Trans-Canada routes and any other roads, the rule is to keep two car lengths between you and the vehicle in front of you. ACC can help with this, as you can select the speed and distance you want to keep from the rest of the travelers. Plus, you’ll be able to slow down with the flow of traffic, greatly reducing hassle!
Blind Spot Information System
Probably the most annoying part of the daily commute is needing to merge lanes and not being able to see who’s in your blind spot. Ford SUVs all come with a Blind Spot Information System that can alert you when vehicles are coming up where you can’t see them; in addition, Cross-Traffic Alert is built in, which can help you avoid oncoming traffic as you back out onto the road.
FordPass™
We use our phones more now than ever before, which is why it’s a no-brainer to use them to keep tabs on your Ford SUV. With FordPass, you can start and unlock your vehicle, as well as track your location if you forgot where you parked. You can even check your fuel levels, making it that much easier to keep control of your model no matter where you are!
