Clovis, New Mexico, is revered by outdoors enthusiasts for the scenic nature that surrounds the city. The Ford F-150 truck lineup is popular, therefore, because drivers in Clovis know how important it is to have a vehicle that can handle driving on all types of terrain. After all, enjoying our environment means exploring it, and doing that requires off-road capabilities. Many of these activities also require the ability to tow a trailer or haul a payload of ATVs, hunting or fishing supplies, or camping gear. What gives an F-150 pickup truck its power is its engine, and with ...

The first U.S. National Park was established in 1872, signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant. The purpose was to preserve a unique, and distinctly American landscape for future generations to enjoy.

That park, Yellowstone, remains to this day one of the most iconic places to experience close encounters with American bison, wolves, elk, eagles, and grizzly bears. The famed Old Faithful Geyser also draws crowds from...

The 2017 Ford Fusion is newly redesigned and safer than ever before, joining the Ford F-150 as an IIHS Top Safety Pick.

To earn a Top Safety Pick under the IIHS's new, more stringent standards, the Fusion had to earn the highest score in all five of the IIHS's crashworthiness tests. Up until the 2016 model, the Fusion was already earning the highest marks in four out of five categories, but lagged behind slightly…

At the 2016 Chicago Auto Show this month, Ford Motor Company announced plans to introduce four new SUVs to the global market by 2020.

So, what are they doing? Didn't you just see four or five different models of new Ford SUVs in our Clovis, NM inventory?

Answer: yes, you did.

However, Business Insider explains that the SUV is the hottest selling segment in the automotive industry. Millennials starting families have a strong preference for SUVs

Hear just a few bars of the introductory music to this popular show from the mid-90s and you’ll likely recognize it in an instant. It’s a simple whistle, not a big orchestra sound, and a catchy tune.

Any guesses?

If you thought of The X-Files, you’re right. Fans of the popular show were overjoyed last night when they once again followed the adventures of Agents Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Fox Mulder (David Duchovny).

Staying on Santa's Nice List is harder than it seems -- especially when you're the one behind the wheel during holiday travel. Chill out (sorry, bad joke) this year, because Ford has got your back. Spread holiday cheer, not misery, when you follow these helpful winter-driving etiquette tips throughout the rest of December. Learn more in the article below.

Are you a Ford truck enthusiast that frequently needs to haul heavy loads? The new 2016 Ford F-150 makes it easy for drivers of all skill levels to back a trailer, park in a driveway, or launch a boat.

This new innovative feature is a segment-first technology that takes the stress out of backing up a trailer. To operate Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which is newly-available for 2016 F-150 models, the driver rotates a knob to indicate how much the system should turn the trailer, and the truck will automatically steer the desired amount.

If a full-size crossover is near the top of your new-car wish list, your chums at Hamilton Big Country Ford have to say: there's nary a better bet throughout the entire segment than the spanking-new 2016 Ford Explorer.

How can we be so sure? Well, we're confident the following clip -- a video review of the 2016 Explorer from the folks at Autotrader -- will shed some light on the issue. Give it a go:

Though all of the Explorer's engine options are excellent, the freshly developed EcoBoost iteration is arguably our favorite.

Have you heard about Ford's rear inflatable seatbelts? This feature is essentially an airbag included in the shoulder belt, strategically placed in the vehicle's backseat, where the most vulnerable passengers often sit, like grandparents and kids. This option, available in the Ford Fusion, Ford Taurus, and Ford Flex, can help reduce head, neck, and chest injuries in the event of an accident. Now, you just have to worry about protecting yourself the rest of the time.

If you don't already know, today, October 22, 2015, is #BackToTheFutureDay. You know, that fateful day when Doc and Marty travelled from 1985 to 2015. In light of those epic events, we at Hamilton Big Country Ford are celebrating by highlighting how far the Ford Fiesta has come in the last thirty years. Check out the graphic below for more details!

When it comes to pickup trucks, the gestation period between new model announcements and the model actually going to market is quite a bit longer than it is for most cars. That's because automakers like Ford have to put in quite a few man hours to make sure the models live up to, and surpass expectations.
