The Ford Co-Pilot360 safety suite is packed with cutting-edge features engineered to help you feel and remain fully in control behind the wheel. The standard and available safety features you get in the latest 2025 run of Ford models monitor your surroundings and respond promptly to any collision threat. 6 Advanced Safety Features in the 2025 Ford Lineup Pre-Collision Assist With advanced camera and radar technology, your car observes the road ahead at all times. If a collision threat ever arises, your car will alert you with flashes and sounds and apply the automatic emergency brakes if required. Intersection Assist The risk of collisions at intersections is also reduced with this feature, which watches for pedestrians wandering into the road as you turn in either direction. If a pedestrian or any other obstacle appears in your path, your car will warn you and take action to avoid a collision. Exit Warning Leaving a parked car can also be a hazardous moment, especially if your vision is restricted when exiting a parallel parking space on a busy street. With this feature, your car keeps an eye on the road behind and will alert you if a cyclist or car is approaching as you exit the vehicle. Blind Spot Assist The same rear corner radar sensors help to keep you aware of any vehicle entering a blind spot, so you don't accidentally change lane at the wrong moment. Any time there's a car in one of your blind spots, you'll see a light appear on the corresponding side view mirror. And if you attempt to change lanes at that moment, resistive steering torque will let you know it's not a good idea. Adaptive Cruise Control With this feature, you can take your hands from the wheel while your Ford uses its camera and radar technology to monitor and maintain an exact distance from vehicles ahead. Your car can stay firmly in the center of the lane and slow to a halt if the vehicle ahead stops, before starting up again when the traffic starts moving, all automatically. Pro Trailer Backup Assist Reversing with a trailer behind you can be a tricky maneuver. With this feature, you can take your hands from the wheel and use a control knob to precisely steer your vehicle and trailer backwards, enjoying a far greater degree of control.

The 2025 Ford Mustang may be loaded with all the bells and whistles of the 21st century, but its heritage traces a direct line back to the original Mustangs of the 1960s. And with massive rear-wheel drive power, excellent handling, and that signature Pony Car roar, it's here to define the future of American muscle all over again.

The entry-level 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine offers 315 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque for plenty of wild rides. GT models are treated to a full five liters of fun thanks to a Gen-4 Coyote motor making up to 486 horsepower and 418 lb-ft of torque. Dark Horse trims get a modified 5.0-liter Coyote making a full 500 horsepower for jaw-dropping performance. Ford also pairs those mighty motors with excellent transmission options.

GT models get a standard 6-speed manual with rev-matching for smoother shifts, while Dark Horse models get a TREMEC 6MT featuring no-lift shifting and an exclusive titanium-anodized blue shift knob.

Drive modes include special Drag and Track modes for added fun, and the available electronic Drift Brake is a class-first feature that enables stunning movie-like moves by engaging the rear brakes mid-turn. On more mundane surfaces, the Mustang still has plenty of fun up its sleeve. Its massive 12.4-inch driver display and 13.2-inch center touchscreen are united under a single piece of glass for seamless tech integration. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and streamed music sounds exquisite when paired with the available 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, which features a subwoofer for chest-thumping bass.

Getting a car loan through your Ford dealership is one of the best financing options available to you. It has things that will appeal to everyone, as well as specific groups of buyers. For example, people with great credit may enjoy the excellent incentives that are sometimes available, while everyone can enjoy the convenience dealership loans offer. 5 Reasons to Finance Your 2025 Ford at Your Ford Dealership 1. It May Let You Bundle Payments Together Let's say you want to get an extended warranty and a few years of Connected Services such as Blue Cruise, FordPass, or Connected Navigation. It's possible to pay for all of these things separately, but you may be able to bundle them into your car loan and monthly car payment when you seek financing through the dealer. This means there are fewer payments for you to keep track of every month, and it could reduce the monthly cost of certain things, as you'll be stretching those payments out across your loan term. 2. It's One of the Most Accessible Financing Options Banks and credit unions are typically hesitant to lend to people don't have the best credit. Dealership financing makes getting a car accessible to a wider range of people, as individuals with poor credit are typically more likely to be approved for financing when getting it through the dealer. 3. It Can Give You Access to Incredible Incentives Well-qualified buyers can sometimes qualify the certain incentives Ford is running. Ford sometimes has special loan and lease deals available, letting you get a loan with lower interest rates than the national average or lease a car for a great price each moth. The dealership has direct access to these incredible offers, so applying for financing through the dealer could save you some money. 4. It's Convenient You can't beat the convenience of getting a loan through the dealer, as it cuts out so many time-consuming steps. Applying for a loan can be done online, which isn't the case with all lenders. You only need to fill out a single loan application, too, whether you apply for dealership financing online or in person. This single application is shown to a variety of lenders, so you won't need to apply for loans with different lenders individually. 5. It Doesn't Make You Compromise If you go to the Ford dealer for financing, then you know they can sell you a new Ford car. You can't guarantee you'll find a 2025 Ford model at a non-Ford dealership. Some lenders require you to buy cars from dealerships in their network, and there won't always be a Ford dealer in that selection, so you'll have to settle for a different car. That's never a problem when you finance through your Ford dealer. Come to Fernelius Ford, Inc. in Cheboygan, MI, to finance your next Ford today. Make sure you check out our online credit application and payment calculator.

Have you ever wondered how leasing benefits drivers when compared to buying a car? Let us enlighten you on a few of the great benefits you can expect when you lease a car at your local Ford dealership. 4 Leasing Benefits When Leasing a 2025 Car at Your Local Ford Dealership 1. The Process Can Be Easier Buying a new car is a multi-step process. You have to sell or trade in your old car, arrange financing, and then pick your new car. When it's time to upgrade, you have to go through the process all over again. Once you've leased a car once, it's easy to continue to lease with very little hassle. You never have to worry about selling your car when you're finished with it, and you don't have to go to different banks and credit unions to find a great car loan. Everything is done seamlessly through the dealership with very little effort involved. 2. The Cost Savings Can Be Amazing It's impossible to say that leasing is cheaper than buying 100 percent of the time, but it can definitely be more cost-effective sometimes. Car leases are often more affordable than car loan repayments, particularly when compared to shorter car loans, as you're paying a lot less for your car than you would when buying it. You're covering the cost of the vehicle's depreciation throughout your lease rather than the full cost of the car plus interest. You also don't need a big down payment when leasing. There are some fees, but the combined cost of the fees and your first month's lease payment is often lower than the cost of a 20 percent down payment, especially with higher-cost models. 3. The Car Is Always Newer Leases last 24 to 36 months on average, so you'll always be in a newer car. There are so many great benefits to this. First, cars typically remain under warranty throughout your lease; Ford's warranty coverage for most things is five years or 60,000 miles, and the shortest warranty is the bumper-to-bumper warranty that lasts three years or 36,000 miles. Second, newer cars are less problematic than older ones in most cases, meaning they break down less. This means less inconvenience and less money spent replacing worn-out parts. 4. The Technology Is Always Recent One big benefit of driving a new car is all the latest technology in it. If Ford comes out with new innovative safety or infotainment technology, which they do frequently, then you'll have access to it in no time if you get a new car every few years when you continuously lease instead of buy. This means you'll always have the opportunity to be in the safest Ford possible with all the latest entertainment and convenience technology, too. Do these benefits appeal to you? Pay a visit to Fernelius Ford in Cheboygan, MI, and talk to us about what you're looking for in your next Ford vehicle.

When your transmission's in need of servicing or repair, the signs can at first be quite subtle. The key is to notice that a problem is growing and respond promptly to prevent any serious performance or safety issues. With this in mind, here are eight early symptoms suggesting your car needs transmission service at your local Ford dealership. 8 Signs Your Ford Needs a Transmission Service Reluctant Engagement If your gears stop changing quickly and smoothly, there's probably a fault inside the transmission. A problem with the fluid, solenoid, bands, or gears might create a slight delay as the new gears struggle to engage. And when engagement finally arrives, you might feel the car jolt. Whining or Grinding A malfunctioning torque converter or problems inside a planetary gear system could generate whining, whirring, or grinding sounds. Any odd noises from below shouldn't be ignored. Burning Smells Transmission fluid keeps the hundreds of interacting internal parts lubricated while also maintaining hydraulic pressure. When transmission fluid grows too old, it can start to thicken, diminish, and even overheat. If this occurs, you may smell something burning. Engine Revving When a transmission falters, power is momentarily prevented from reaching the wheels properly. In response to this, the engine may suddenly rev, ramping up RPMs. Engine revving while shifting is a sure sign of trouble. Slipping Gears One of the most extreme indications of gearbox issues is gears suddenly slipping and changing on their own. This is hazardous and should prompt you to pull over at once and call a technician. Sudden Vibrations Many different kinds of gearbox faults create vibrations when you shift gears. Your Ford should shift smoothly and easily, so take vibrations as a clear warning sign. Low Gas Mileage For optimal fuel efficiency, the car's entire powertrain must be operating well. If your gearbox isn't transmitting power as easily as normal, you may find your gas mileage plummeting. Leaking Transmission Fluid Transmission fluid is usually red, fading to brown as it ages. If a fluid matching this description is puddling under your car, you probably have a leaky gearbox. If you drive with leaking transmission fluid, you'll cause considerable damage to the system, so have the leak fixed without delay. Arrange Routine Gearbox Maintenance at Your Ford Dealership It's best to have an experienced technician inspect and service your transmission once a year. You or a trusted technician should also check the fluid more frequently. If you drive an automatic, you'll typically need to flush the fluid every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Visit Fernelius Ford, Inc. in Cheboygan, MI, today for quick, hassle-free automotive maintenance or repairs.

As time passes, your braking system suffers wear and tear due to the heat and pressure generated by braking. As parts wear or become damaged, the braking system will work less effectively, and this can cause an accident. As your Ford dealer, we'd like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for a brake service. Signs You Need To Visit Your Ford Dealer for a Brake Service Spare parts for the car. Suspension details. In the hands of an auto mechanic brake pads. There is a brake disc and a set of brake pads on the table.; Shutterstock ID 2124130121; purchase_order: 01176200; client: Barker Kia Screeching Noises Loud screeching noises from the brakes are a sign of worn brake pads. The pads fit into the calipers, which are forced against the wheel rotors when you hit the brakes. They have rough material coverings that generate friction against the smooth brake pads, and this action stops the wheels. As time passes, the material covering a pad will wear off. A healthy pad has a 1/2" thick material covering, which needs replacement when the material drops to 1/4". Pad manufacturers install a metal spike inside the material as a warning that the material has worn down. The spike scratches against the rotor, producing a loud screeching noise. We can replace any worn pads in minutes, and the noise will stop. Soft Brake Pedal The braking system uses pressurized brake fluid to generate the hydraulic pressure that forces the calipers against the rotors. You can feel this pressure as resistance when you push down on the pedal. The resistance grows as you apply more pressure, meaning your brakes work correctly. If you push on the brake pedal and feel little resistance, something is wrong with your brakes. The lack of resistance can be caused by an air bubble or other blockage in the brake system, or it could be due to low brake fluid. An air bubble can form over time, preventing brake fluid from moving through the system. Likewise, a lack of brake fluid prevents the brakes from engaging. Our technicians will investigate and fix the problem. Old Brake Fluid Brake fluid ages like all other fluids in your vehicle. Older fluid is susceptible to water absorption, and this can cause serious problems. As we've seen, braking generates heat. If you hit the brakes frequently over a short distance, for example, driving downhill, the fluid can overheat, and the water inside will boil. If this happens, you'll smell a harsh chemical stench, and brake responsiveness will drop. The fluid won't burn, but it loses its ability to generate hydraulic pressure. Without this pressure, your brakes can fail. We'll drain and replace the old fluid, and your brakes will work effectively again. Braking problems will worsen if not repaired, increasing your stopping distance and decreasing braking speed. Contact our service department today at Fernelius Ford, Inc. in Cheboygan, MI.
