The sophisticated Ford SYNC® 4A system adds Adaptive Dash Cards, letting you easily navigate menus and launch apps. Perhaps the most significant additions are Over-the-Air Updates, voice recognition, and cloud-based connectivity, bringing you an intuitive and personalized driving experience. Learn more about the exciting Ford SYNC® 4 update at Preston Ford West during your test drive.
Upgraded Features
You will still have the advantage of enjoying all available features of the Ford SYNC® 3 system such as wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility, FordPass Connect™ 4G LTE Wi-Fi, Ford + Alexa, SYNC® AppLink®, and navigation with SiriusXM® Traffic and Travel Link®. But here are some significant distinctions between the two. The Ford SYNC® 4 update has evolved to larger touchscreens — 8-inch, 12-inch, or 15.5-inch — now oriented vertically instead of horizontally, while Ford SYNC® 3 equips 6.5-inch or 8-inch options. SYNC® 3 integrates enhanced voice control, while the SYNC® 4 system offers Natural Voice Control, allowing you to interact conversationally with your Ford model. The all-new display will look more modern and run more like your smartphone due to faster processing speeds and enhanced graphics, but both options are excellent choices to help you keep up with this fast-paced world without taking your eyes off the road.

Ford Winter Service Checklist

Ford Winter Service Checklist
Has your vehicle been serviced yet this season? Don’t procrastinate! Your Ford model has to work harder during cold weather, so the expert Ford service advisors at Preston Ford West have compiled a Ford winter service checklist that will improve your vehicle’s lifespan and perhaps lower the cost of future repairs. Read over our Ford winter service checklist, then schedule a tune-up at our Preston Ford West service center.
Lubricate Your Engine
Having your oil changed frequently is one of the most essential tips on our Ford winter service checklist. It is recommended every three months or 3,000 miles to protect your engine from harsh metal-on-metal contact.
Fine Tune Your Tires
You will want to maintain the proper tire pressure and examine the tread for excessive wear and tear. Bald tires can be very hazardous on icy roads, and incorrect tire pressure may affect gas mileage and handling. Always keep a spare tire with proper inflation and jack ready for safety measures.
Pump Your Brakes
How are your brakes feeling and sounding? Listen for vibrations and noises as you are coming to a stop. It is smart to have your brake fluid replenished regularly, so let our certified Ford service team know if you notice anything alarming.
Heat Unit On Check
We want to ensure you stay warm and comfortable inside your Ford model, even on the coldest days. Warning signs of a faltering heating system include a strange smell from the vent or antifreeze leaking on the passenger floor. Book your winter service appointment to avoid chilly commutes.

Our Ford winter service checklist prepares you and your vehicle for the beyond chilly degrees ahead. Schedule a maintenance plan at Preston Ford West today!

Travel Effortless
Before take-off, we are here to help you prepare! The staff at Preston Ford West has put together a road trip checklist for your family’s peace of mind. Browse our tips so you are fully prepared for any hurdles that cross your path.
Service Comes First
Since the engine is what powers your trip, and all moving parts get you safely to your destination, you will want to start beneath your hood and check all fluid levels, such as coolant and windshield washer fluid. Let our expert service technicians serve you by inspecting your vehicle’s tires and ensure you are ready for your road trip!
Essential Supplies
Fortunately, new Ford models like the Ford Escape, the all-new Ford Bronco, and the well-equipped Ford Explorer include a spare tire and fix-a-flat toolkit. We also suggest packing a first-aid emergency kit complete with items like jumper cables, medical supplies, a torch, and a rope. Your road trip checklist for families may also include a blanket, extra water, and snacks.
Slow and Save
Fuel mileage savings increase by 30% by reducing your acceleration speed to 15 seconds and maintaining a moderate pace. You can also save on gasoline costs by following the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure, noted in your driver’s manual. Keep a lookout for gas stations once you reach a quarter tank, and don’t wait until you reach E to refuel.
Stay Energized
Last up on our road trip checklist for families is to stay alert and avoid highway hypnosis! We suggest scanning the road for hazards and aggressive drivers, and cracking the window if you feel tired. Take breaks to stretch but avoid parking on the shoulder when possible. New Ford models are outfitted with key items for the best road trip checklist for your family, like on-road SYNC® entertainment. Be sure your smartphone is connected to Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto™ so you can listen to music on the way!
