Radio has expanded well-beyond the regional constraints of AM/FM stations over the past few years.  Drivers expect to listen to the music that they love whenever they want, and don't want to flick through stations in an unfamiliar area or listen to static.  Ford drivers will soon have the convenience of Spotify internet radio integrated into their driving experience so they can listen to their playlists and favorite tunes on the go.

Here at Zeck Ford we've always known that each and every new Ford in our lineup is designed to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible.  That being said, we weren't surprised in the least when we heard that the redesigned new Ford Fusion aced two different rigorous series of crash tests.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the Fusion a Top Safety Pick+ rating, and the good news…

The good people at Ford are always working to make their automobiles in the lineup of new Ford vehicles safer and more technologically advanced. To prove it to you, Zeck Ford would like to highlight five Ford technologies for our customers in the Kansas City, Olathe or Shawnee areas.

If you're an eco-conscious consumer, chances are you know that 2013 was a great year for green vehicles, and Ford was one automaker propagating this trend. Fantastic vehicles like the C-Max Hybrid debuted, and EcoBoost engines became more popular than ever. And Zeck Ford is excited to announce to its customers in the Kansas City, Leavenworth, Olathe or Shawnee areas that a new model called the Ford Fusion Energi is continuing this forward progress...

Ann Arbor, Michigan is about to get a whole lot safer thanks to Ford and the Department of Transportation. The two have teamed up to create the largest-ever real-world test of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I). The test includes 3,000 cars, trucks, and buses - all of which will be communicating with each other via a Wi-Fi connection.

With the vehicles able to communicate with traffic signals as well as each other, the Department of...

The news keeps getting better for new car shoppers: engines are getting more efficient while they're also getting more powerful. The latest example of this is the 2013 Ford Taurus, powered by a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that boasts six-cylinder power with just four cylinders pumping away under the hood. That's 240-horsepower, 270 lb-ft of torque, and an impressive 32 miles to the gallon on the highway.

These EPA-official numbers mean that the...

We have a weird question for you. Are you ready?

How many ping pong balls do you think would fit inside a 2013 Escape? A thousand? A couple thousand? Try 56,778 in all. That's including all of the cup holders, overhead and center console storage bins, and even the glove box.

So now you probably have a question for us. It's okay, we had the same question at first, too. And that...

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...
