Here at Central Ford, we understand the luxury vehicle market is extremely expensive and can make us feel as though we will never drive a car of the standard we all dream of. However, the release of the 2018 range of Ford Fusion midsize sedans has opened up this market to almost every driver with the quality of a luxury car without the high price tag.

The Ford Fusion Platinum edition offers the majority of the features found on today's luxury vehicles and the sleek lines designed to turn heads while driving around Trumann, AR. There is more to…

If you're shopping the sports car segment for your next automotive purchase, we here at Central Ford have a sneaking suspicion you'll find a great deal to appreciate about ours, the 2017 Mustang.

"Such as what?" you wonder.

Allow carwow critic Mat Watson to provide you with some context; his appraisal of the Mustang is as follows:

No doubt the meanest, most muscular member of the Mustang family, the top-of-the-line 5.0-liter V8 engine is not for the faint at heart.

Available solely with the GT trim, this eight-banger boasts a brutish 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of…

Are you seeking a midsize sedan for your next daily driver? Well, if so, we here at Central Ford would be quick to couple you up with ours, the 2017 Fusion.

Yet, why would we do so?

AutoGuide.com Managing Editor Jodi Lai is here to explain; join her in the clip below:

Climb to the pinnacle of the Fusion model range and it is there you'll discover the superbly equipped V6 Sport.

Standard amenities on this iteration include an athletic, 325-horsepower turbo-V6 engine, an all-wheel-drive system, a unique grille, 19-inch wheels, quad exhaust outlets, a rear spoiler, adjustable…

We know that some of the fun of driving a muscle car is the roar of the engine with every acceleration but, as we all know, not everyone appreciates this noise like we do. So, to solve this issue, the American automaker has given the upcoming 2018 Ford Mustang a Quiet Exhaust mode that, as you'd guess, makes the exhaust note considerably quieter! There's also a Quiet Start mode and even Quiet Time settings so you can automatically muffle the engine noise at specific times. Your neighbors will love you for it!

You've heard that using an old-fashioned terry towel on your car is a great way to scratch the paint, and leave behind "micro-marring," or fine scratches and swirls. To prevent this, you should only use microfiber when washing your new Ford.

But what kind or microfiber towel?

One of the most important features to look for when choosing the right towel for the task is GSM. It stands for grams per square meter, and it measures the density of the towel, which gives you an idea of the thickness, absorptivity, and pile length.

Those thin, low-pile microfiber towels you…

Might you be in the market for a full-size SUV? Well, if you haven't already, we here at Central Ford think you'd be wise to save a spot on your short list for ours, the 2017 Explorer.

And why is that, exactly?

Get the need-to-know details from our friends over at MotorWeek. Their appraisal of the Explorer is as follows:

The value of the Explorer's entry-level trim -- the outstandingly appointed Base -- quite simply cannot be overstated.

Standard features on this model include a 290-horsepower V6 engine, 18-inch wheels, a rearview camera, an eight-way power driver seat, a…

If you’re looking for a new restaurant to try, a new book to read, or a new television show to check out, you might ask a friend, a coworker, even polling the denizens of the internet for opinions and suggestions; so, when you’re looking for something as big and important as a new pickup truck to handle both your work and your play, why not do the same and go straight to the source: ask an owner. In this next video, Rob talks about why he and his family love their 2016 Ford F-150. Check it out to…

Everyone learns how to be a good friend, neighbor, and driver when they go through Driver’s Ed (we hope!), but some on-the-road etiquette doesn’t always get included in classroom discussions, especially etiquette related to electric or hybrid-electric vehicles, like Ford’s own Ford Focus Electric or Ford Fusion Energi. Today, we wanted to share some EV Etiquette and Tips from the folks at Ford, and if you’re thinking about going green yourself, come see us at Central Ford to see what the Ford lineup has to offer.

Keeping your cabin clean is one thing but, if you happen to have a bug issue, it can be a whole different kind of frustration. If you have a problem with finding spiders around your vehicle's interior, Ford has an excellent solution for you and we're sure you'll love it.

All you need to do is mix together one and a half cups of water with 20 drops of peppermint oil, then spray it around your car like an air freshener. Not only will it make everything smell great but it will also drive away those spiders…

In the pantheon of pony cars, there are very few that can hold a candle to ours, the 2016 Ford Mustang.

And lest you suspect that such an opinion is one that's unique to us at Central Ford, we'd now like to link the following video. Pair up with Autotrader pundit, Jabari Jones, as he takes the Mustang for a test run:

Fun, yet frugal, the Mustang's mid-level engine option -- the EcoBoost -- is truly exceptional. Twisting out a terrific 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, this turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder is available with your pick of…
