Zeck Ford

When Ford went about redesigning the popular Fusion, we had no idea what they had in store for us. This is like a completely new car, from its headlights to its trunk lid, complete with a more fuel-efficient powertrain and the latest in in-vehicle connectivity and technology. We did know that whatever the automaker was working on, it was going to be big, and we were definitely not disappointed when they pulled the sheets back...

The 2013 Ford Escape will roll into the Zeck Ford showroom shortly. And when we say "shortly," we mean, any day now. We're very excited to see it in person, and it turns out that so are many of you in the Leavenworth area. As a matter of fact, drivers around the country are getting their garages ready for the new Escape - 8,000 of them to be exact.

At least, that's how...

If you had to venture a guess, which car would you say generated the most buzz at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit? Your first guess likely isn't the 2013 Ford Fusion, but we have to tell you: it drew quite the crowd. Featuring a new grille, and sloping roofline, the new Fusion is reminiscent of classic European cars like the Aston Martin and Jaguar. No, really.

We're pretty sure that...

Ford took a bit of a gamble when they stuck their EcoBoost V6 into the powerful Ford F-150. Experts predicted that buyers would still favor the 5.0-liter V8, but as sales of the F-150 topped 100,000 this year, nearly half of all models featured the EcoBoost engine. The number sounds more impressive still when you take into account that the more fuel-efficient engine option came with an additional $895 price tag.

This wasn't the only...

Can you imagine being able to pilot one of the most powerful production model V8 engines in the world? The day is closer than you think, as Ford unveiled the 2013 Mustang Shelby GT500 at the LA Auto Show, complete with 650-hp and 600-ft. lb. torque, capable of reaching upwards of 200-mph. And yes, it's completely street-legal.

How did Ford pack that much power under the hood? Well, it's not that the 2012?

Ever heard of a roof tile that eats smog? How about a lightbulb that can burn for 25,000 hours? Or, maybe you've heard of solar panels constructed of 70-percent less silicone than traditional panels? Well, maybe not. But, recently, Ford was recognized among these and many other inventions that were created to "make the world smarter, safer and more efficient in the years to come...setting benchmarks in design and engineering."¹

Given by Popular Mechanics, the 2011 Breakthrough Product Awards recognized the latest in...

Ford's groundbreaking SYNC technology continues to impress drivers and critics with its constantly evolving software. The latest addition to its advanced features is aimed at a bit of a different market: chronic disease management.We know it seems strange for an automaker to take such a stance for health, but we really think they're on to something here.

The Blue Oval took the podium at the "Health and Wellness Connectivity Services on the Go" panel discussion at the Wireless Health 2011 Conference last month. They announced a new feature of their software that is aimed at managed...

The 2011 model year may be winding down, but you can still find the 2011 Ford F-150 in the showroom at Zeck Ford.

The 2011 F-150 got some refreshers, including a turbocharged direct-injection 3.5-liter V6. Even with two fewer cylinders than major competitors, it matches the power of most V8 models with an output of 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. Add to it the cabin that comfortably seats four, a modernized cabin?

Zeck Ford understands drivers need for a reliable car defined by understated sporty looks and celebrated fuel economy. And it just so happens that we have the perfect vehicle to meet those needs!

The 2012 Ford Fusion gets an estimated 41 mpg city driving. Nothing any of us can scoff at. Ford, however, is planning to outdo themselves, increasing the fuel economy of their 2013 Ford Fusion by 15 percent. That translates to an outstanding…

It's true what they say, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Case in point: dandelions. To you and me they may be nothing more than a pesky weed. To American automaker Ford, however, they're an increasingly valuable resource.

Venture any guesses as to why? It's for the milky-white substance contained within the dandelion root. Apparently, it can be used to make a plant-based rubber, which could eventually be used in…
