?They say dogs are man’s best friend. As such, you will often find yourself in a position that you need to let your dog tag along on a car ride. Sometimes, the journey is not complete without having your buddy with you.

So where do you start preparing before you travel? Purchase a crate for the dog. The size matters as you need one big enough so the dog can fit in and lie down as well as sit, but snug enough that the dog won't be thrown around in case of a crash. Make sure the crate…

If you happen to be hunting for a midsize sedan, we here at Coggin Deland Ford would be very eager to introduce you to ours, the 2017 Fusion.

Wondering why we would be?

Then, check the clip below; here now to provide some context on the matter is AutoGuide.com Managing Editor Jodi Lai:

Beneath the bonnet of the base Fusion, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine holds court with a six-speed automatic transmission. Offered with front-wheel drive only, the entry-level engine produces a potent 175 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque.

What's more, it does an excellent job in…

After Hurricane Irma subsides and Orange City drivers are able to get outside and assess the damage, there will be a lot of claims being sent to insurance companies. In many cases, particularly if the damage is caused by flooding, the vehicle will be declared a total loss.

New Ford vehicles are built to be reliable, but they are also made with many sensitive computer-controlled components, from your SYNC 3 infotainment system, to critical safety features like Electronic Stability Control. It can be impossible to repair all of the circuitry in a modern vehicle, which is why most experts...

The all-new 2018 Mustang GT has a whole slew of exciting features, like a more powerful 5.0-liter V8 engine with 460 horsepower, Drag Strip mode for searing the pavement and reaching 60 mph in less than 4 seconds, and electronic line-lock so you can burnout your tires pretty much whenever.

With all this newfound power and drag-racing rowdiness, the only downside is you neighbors might start to hate you.

Fortunately, the Mustang's engineers thought of that, too! Quiet Start allows you to schedule courtesy hours when your pony car will start its engine like a normal car, instead…

Americas best-selling truck is looking better than ever for the 2018 model year!

 

When it comes to the 2017 Explorer, Ford's full-size crossover, is there anything that we here at Coggin Deland Ford don't dig about it?

And we believe that much is plainly apparent throughout the clip below. Team up with our pals over at MotorWeek to hear all about the Explorer:

Providing shoppers with a "kitchen sink" level of standard equipment is the Explorer's range-topping model, the fully loaded Platinum.

Such amenities include a muscly, 365-horsepower…

It's the perfect time for a family road trip. Here are a few tips before hitting the road.

1) Destination: Make sure you have a clear destination and map it out. It's easy to get around with GPS, but you could get lost if you lose your signal.

2) Vehicle check: Check your fluids, fill your tank and make sure your vehicle has a clean bill of health. Also, it's important the spare tire is filled and there is a working car jack. Your roadside assistance plan should be up to date as well.

3) Clean out…

The truth is, having a roadside emergency kit may come in quite handy someday. As they say, " Better safe than sorry!" You can purchase a kit or make one on your own.

I personally think having a jump box is a good item to keep as well. You never know when you can't find someone to jump you. But also keep actual jumper cables in your vehicle. Always have the three reflective triangles. You want to be as safe as possible during anytime on the side of any road. A good flash light or two and plenty of batteries…
