It was surprising to see an the Ford Explorer win the ward considering all of the updates made to 2011 trucks, regardless the Ford Explorer SUV is an amazing vehicle and brings the “wow factor” to anyone who drives it.

The 2011 Ford Explorer is now built on the Ford Taurus sedan chassis with a 3.5L V6 engine (290 hp and 17mpg city / 23awd/25fwd mpg highway). You can either get the V6 in all wheel drive or front wheel drive and there will be an available 4 cylinder engine with ecoboost (Ford’s name for using a combination of turbocharging and gasoline direct injection; GDI) rated at 237 hp. The new 2011 Ford Explorer is big enough for a third row seat and allows for 151.7 cubic feet of passenger space and plenty of cargo space. The Explorer also comes in a variety of new options including Ford’s adjustable head restraints, inflatable second row safety belts, and Terrain Management System.

The pricing on the Ford Explorer will range from $28995 to $39995 including $805 shipping. The 2011 Ford Explorer is expected to draw in customers looking at the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Chevrolet Traverse/ GMC Acadia, Honda Pilot, and the Hyundai Veracruz.

“The 2011 Ford Explorer is truly amazing; you can really see Ford’s innovative technology at work with the inflatable safety belt system and the Terrain Management System,” says Chad Todd, Sales Manager at Preston Ford in Maryland, “I am expecting these SUVs to drive up sales where the Explorer’s predecessor left off.” The Ford Explorer will begin going on sale in the next couple of weeks.

Ford Sales for 2010 have now been reported and the 2010 sales year has come to a close. Of the 3200 Ford dealers in the Nation the top 3% (100 dealers) are looked upon as the leading dealers in the country. In a town of almost 700 people, Preston Ford of Maryland reached their goal to become a top 100 Ford Dealer.

Preston Ford ranked 93rd in sales for the year 2010 and 43rd for the month of December alone. Last year Preston came close by making it to 104th Ford Dealer in the nation. With the help of the local communities of Delaware and Maryland including Salisbury, Annapolis, and Dover; Preston Ford was able to sell well over their objective. Top sellers included the Ford F-150, Ford Super Duty, Ford Edge, and Ford Fusion.

The Ford F-150 had the most sales at the dealership. But the introduction of the new 2011 Ford Super Duty really helped sales when it was released earlier in the year. The Ford Edge crossover has always been a top seller because of its unique design and customer appeal. The Ford Edge has also recently been redesigned, giving Ford Dealers everywhere a surge of demand for the vehicle. The 2010 Ford Fusion which was the 2010 North America Car of the Year also saw its fair share of buyers competing with the new Hyundai Sonata.

“Making the top 100 Ford Dealers in the Nation is really a statement of customer satisfaction and low pricing,” says Chris Marks, General Manager of Preston Ford Lincoln in Maryland, “Ford buyers can go to any Ford Dealer for their purchase but they choose us because we give great pricing and even greater customer service.” Preston Ford begins 2011 with the same mentality to become a top 100 Ford Dealer again. Preston Automotive Group which includes Preston Ford would like to thank their local community for all their help.

Preston Ford, the leading Maryland Ford dealer, serving Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia customers, presents the 2011 Ford Super Duty series of trucks.

Since its opening in 1975, Preston Ford has sold more Ford cars and trucks to residents of the Delmarva Peninsula than any other area dealer. Preston has been especially successful with trucks since it became the region’s “go-to” dealer for Ford F-150 trucks.

The new line of 2011 Ford Super Duty trucks is no exception. The newest Ford Super Duty trucks have lasted fewer than two days at Preston Ford before being sold to business owners and enthusiasts alike who need a tough truck that is both reliable and affordable.

With class-leading towing and payload capability and excellent fuel economy, the 2011 Ford Super Duty delivers the strength and intelligence drivers have come to expect from the best-selling line of trucks in the U.S. for the last 33 years.

The Super Duty line features two new engines: a 6.2-liter gasoline V-8 and a 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V-8. The gasoline V-8 achieves 385 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque, while the 6.7-liter leads its class with 390 hp and 735 lb-ft. The 2011 Super Duty’s towing capability reaches 24,400 pounds, while its payload capability is 6,520 pounds. The turbo-diesel can also burn B20 biodiesel, a meaningful, eco-conscious feature that can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 15 percent, according to the Department of Energy.

The Super Duty trucks also offer a host of technological features that add value for Maryland Ford customers: an available touchscreen navigation system, Sync, Ford’s communications system, which uses voice commands to control phone calls, music and navigation, and the Ford Work Solutions system that turns an in-dash computer and wireless keyboard into a mobile office.

The 2010 Ford Super Duty was recognized with a Best Resale Value Award, which designates “the full-size car and full-size pickup as vehicles expected to hold the greatest proportion of their value after five years of ownership.”

“Rising resale values means more money in fleet customers’ pockets when it is time to sell or trade in for new vehicles,” said Charles Pecoraro, Ford residual forecast manager. “Combine these savings with lower repair and maintenance costs and lower fuel costs, thanks to our improved fuel economy fleetwide, and the cost to own a Ford product drops dramatically during the life of the vehicle, providing tremendous cost savings for large fleet buyers.”

Satisfying customers for more than three decades and continuing to be recognized for its excellence today, the 2011 Ford Super Duty series of trucks is an intelligent, cost-effective option at your No. 1 Maryland Ford dealership.
