This has been a long time coming, and we can’t wait to share these amazing new vehicles with you. Read on to find out about the new EVs currently available from Ford, and how you can get your hands on one for a test drive! more Ford is All In on EVs The shift toward electric vehicles is happening fast and Ford is leading the charge with some amazing offerings, but this isn’t anything new. Ford looked at building EVs for the first time well over a hundred years ago, in 1914. Henry Ford himself was a big proponent of battery electric vehicles as they were simpler and easier to operate than gasoline or steam-powered vehicles of the time, but then as now, battery technology was a big stumbling block. The advent of advanced lithium battery technology has finally allowed EVs to enter the mainstream automotive market. Ford has two very impressive EVs available now or in the near future: The Mustang Mach-E, and the F-150 Lightning. Mustang Mach-E The Mustang is a storied nameplate among the Ford faithful, so the fact that Ford chose to adorn this EV with the Mustang moniker tells you how much faith they’re putting into it. The Mach-E is an SUV like no other. Though it comes complete with four doors and a rear liftgate, the performance numbers sound like a sports car: the Performance Edition of the Mach-E can do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds! That’s faster than a base-spec Porsche 911, and a crazy number for a vehicle this size. Along with the whiplash acceleration comes over 300 miles of EPA-estimated range, the Ford CoPilot 360 safety suite, and Ford BlueCruise, which allows hands-free driving on many highways across the country. The Mach-E can do it all. F-150 Lightning The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in the country for over forty years, and when you have a winning formula like this one, making a paradigm shift to electrification seems like killing the goose that laid the golden egg. That is, until you drive one. The reviews are nearly unequivocal: Ford knocked this one so cleanly out of the park that buyers are left wondering what took them so long to electrify the F-150. The launch version of the Lightning is only available in quad-cab with a six foot bed, but what it lacks in bed space it more than makes up for in utility and practicality. Features like multiple 120 volt outlets inside and out, an additional 14 cubic feet of storage space in the ‘frunk’, and the ability to charge other EVs from its own battery pack make this F-150 truly revolutionary. Add to that all time four-wheel drive, over 300 miles of EPA-estimated range and a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, and you’ll see that this is a vehicle built without compromise.

Ford has been doing business for an awfully long time. The First Ford rolled out of the factory in 1903, and in the ensuing years, Ford has proven time and again their commitment to innovation, affordability, and competence, not just in their vehicles, but in everything they do, from the Model T to the five-day work week and the production line. It’s one of the reasons we’re proud to provide their vehicles to the Hill Country through Cecil Atkission Ford in Hondo. more So when the first Ford F-series truck rolled into the daylight nearly 75 years ago, it makes one wonder if the company knew what an impact the vehicle would have on the world. The Ford F-150 is the company’s best-selling vehicle for 35 years running and the America’s best-selling pickup truck for 40 solid years. That’s no accident. With the F-Series, Ford found the perfect mix of utility, practicality, versatility, and style. Since 1977, Ford has sold over 26 million Ford F-150s all over the world. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the F-Series, Ford is releasing a new-for 2023 version of the F-150, dubbed the Heritage Edition. This exclusive options package available on XLT-series trucks includes several exterior accents based on a classic two-tone paint scheme, with the roof and door pillars one color, the body another color, then the first color returning for the lower body, lower doors, and bumpers. The two-tone pattern recalls paint schemes from the 70s and 80s, but looks decidedly different on the modern F-150 with its aluminum body and wide stance. The package continues on the interior with special seat trim covers with unique inserts, a “75 Years” logo on the upper windshield and center console, and an embossed console cover. There are five color/trim combinations available, each with its own unique look: Race Red midsection, with upper and lower Carbonized Gray Atlas Blue midsection, with upper and lower Agate Black Antimatter Blue midsection, with upper and lower Carbonized Gray Avalanche midsection, with upper and lower Agate Black Area 51 midsection, with upper and lower Agate Black Trust us when we say these modern paint colors look amazing in this two-tone style. With the Heritage Edition, you’re sure to stand out from the F-150 crowd. Interested in the 2023 F-150 Heritage Edition?
