One of the best things about buying a new vehicle is choosing your favorite amenities. From state-of-the-art connectivity to roadside assistance, why not upgrade your next set of wheels with a performance package? Let’s review five of the best add-on options for your new Ford car or truck.
1. Ford MyKey
If you’re like most families, you have an up and coming driver in your midst. The available MyKey feature allows parents to configure your teenager’s key with specific settings that help keep new drivers safe and to reinforce good road habits. Even when you’re not in the vehicle, set your Ford’s maximum speed, radio volume limits, and seatbelt alerts.
2. FordPass App
Designed to keep you moving, FordPass is the only app that lets you earn rewards for complimentary maintenance and puts roadside assistance in the palm of your hand. Download the app and get everything you need to control your vehicle, including start and stop functionality, lock or unlock the doors, and even check fuel and fluid levels right from your smart device. Receive notifications about your car’s health and get reminders when it’s time to head to the dealership for routine maintenance. Locate your vehicle in a crowded parking lot, all with FordPass.
3. SYNC Technology
Click your way through life behind the wheel thanks to Ford’s innovative SYNC and SYNC 3 technologies. This factory-installed, fully integrated communications system allows you to make hands-free calls, control the stereo system, and perform a variety of functions thanks to Ford’s next-generation voice recognition.
Its responsive touch screen display is user-friendly and will help you get the most out of every commute. Use the navigation system to avoid a traffic jam or sign in to SIRIUS XM radio and blast your favorite playlist — all with familiar pinch-and-zoom capability. Keep your eyes on the road and still enjoy the connectivity your busy life demands with SYNC technology, from an optional Wi-Fi hotspot to interior temperature control.
4. CoPilot360
If safety on the road is one of your top priorities, opt for Ford’s CoPilot360. This advanced suite of active driver assistance features gives you more confidence thanks to blind-spot monitoring, a lane keeping system, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and a rearview camera — just to name a few. Stay in command from the driveway to the highway with CoPilot360.
5. Extended Service Plans
Ford is one automaker that stands behind its products. With an extended service and maintenance plan, get added peace of mind and reduce future repair and maintenance costs. You’ll appreciate 24-hour roadside assistance, rental car benefits, and access to genuine factory-made Ford parts installed by certified technicians. Another added benefit of an extended service plan is that it’s completely transferrable in the event you sell your car, making it a great value for the new owner.
Born in Detroit and made in America, Ford vehicles are built with pride for every lifestyle. Discover all the best add-on options for your new car or truck at a showroom near you.
