Has the hunt for your next vehicular purchase brought you to the midsize sedan segment? Well, if so, we here at Hamilton Big Country Ford Inc. would be quick to pair you up with ours, the 2017 Fusion. Will it be a perfect pairing for you two? Check the clip below to figure that out. Here now to offer a closer look at the Fusion is AutoGuide.com Managing Editor Jodi Lai: The Fusion's top-of-the-line trim -- the V6 Sport -- takes a "kitchen sink" approach to its degree of standard appointment. Such creature comforts include a brawny, 325-horsepower turbo-V6 engine, all-wheel drive, a unique grille, 19-inch wheels, quad exhaust tips, a rear spoiler, adjustable suspension dampers, leather and simulated suede upholstery, as well as a nine-speaker sound system. If you'd like to meet this midsized masterpiece "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Clovis, NM location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the Fusion, or any other Ford model that's engendered your interest.

There are more reasons than ever to own the 2017 Ford F-150, and it's not just because of its class-leading reputation, or stature as America's bestselling pickup. With a wide variety of bed and cab sizes, not to mention trims that can push the limits of luxury, there's a lot to choose from. So while we'll let Jabari Jones cover the basics in the video above, here are the other reasons to own the latest F-150. On the capability end, there's a new V6 engine and transmission available for 2017, and it's the most potent combo yet. With best-in-class 470 lb-ft of torque and 12,000 lbs. max towing, it out does any competing V8. Ford also continues to offer an expansive options sheet, with features like Pro Trailer Back Up Assist, and a wide suite of sensory safety technology. You can also have SYNC 3, with phone connectivity. Want to learn more about the options, and variants of the 2017 F-150? All it takes is a phone call, email, or live chat message to our Ford dealership in Clovis, NM. We can fill you in on any remaining blanks over the phone, and the rest when you come by for a test drive.

You'd be hard pressed to find an off-road ready pickup that's as insane as the 2017 Ford Raptor. So new that people are still working out what it's capable of, Motor Trend has risen to the challenge in one of their most in-depth "Ignition" episodes yet. With reviewer Jonny Lieberman and the renowned Ken Block at the helm, they took on the California dunes. In the first half of the video above, we get a rundown of the Raptor's capabilities, including just how tough that high-strength steel, fully-boxed frame holds up under extreme torture. Built so it won't bend during more wild stunts, that'll allay the concerns of many (the shots of the truck doing donuts and power slides won't hurt either). There's also a rundown of the truck's agile sprint time on sand, as well as some positively nuts stunts where the Raptor actually gets air. To experience the new Raptor, schedule a time with our Ford dealership in Clovis, NM at your convenience. We'd be more than happy to show you some of the features of this off-road beast in person.

This video we found about the all-new F-150 makes a strong case for why truck buyers should consider purchasing one. It lists the top ten reasons that the Ford pickup is ahead of all its other competitors. The first reason that clients should buy one is that the Ford F 150 is made of military grade aluminum. It also mentions that the pickup has 12,200 pounds of towing power. The video shows that it can also hold a load of 3,270 pounds. It makes the case that the Ford 150 is great on gas due to being 700 pounds lighter than its competitors. Customers have been flocking to our dealership once they learn about the Ford F 150's impressive features. The video also shows that the pickup is rated as a top vehicle for safety, is rust resistant, has a backup assist, has been thoroughly tested, has over 100 patents, and has been the top-selling truck for over 39 years.

With so much racing in the DNA of virtually every Ford model, not to mention the existence of cars like the Mustang, ST line, and more, it's surprising that the Blue Oval hasn't wrapped all of its adrenaline-pumping products into one product line as of yet. Well, that changed a few years ago with the introduction of Ford Performance. The Focus RS, the most recent model from the marque to arrive in dealerships, has been quite well received by drivers across the spectrum. With 350 horsepower and all-wheel drive--making it one of the most powerful hot hatches on the market--that's no surprise. But that's only the first of many. The 2017 Raptor arrives this autumn with 450 horsepower and primed for off-road beast mode. Want to learn more about our lineup of vehicles available at our Ford dealership in Clovis, NM?

There are muscle cars, and then there is the pony car. Yeah, you know what we're talking about--the legendary, the iconic, the perennial Ford Mustang. Now one model year into its sixth generation, more options are on the table than ever, and we're here to tell you all about them, courtesy of Autotrader. While Autotrader has their reasons, we have a few of our own. There is, of course, some overlap. The new Mustang's design is a home run, yet it's the inner workings that make it revolutionary. This includes a first-ever independent rear suspension, and features like electronic line lock and launch control, and power delivered by a 5.0-liter V8, this is a pony car that's more than ready to pony up and play.

For many young people, buying a reliable car is pretty difficult. Lack of credit, and the intimidating prices on most new cars are somewhat off-putting. That's where Ford comes in.

Most university campuses these days have banned student groups from performing dangerous hazing rituals to initiate new members. Unfortunately, it looks like Ford didn't get that memo... at least when it comes to their car seat material. The Mace Snagging Test sounds a little crazy. Fabrics that Ford wants to use for seat covers in new vehicles are wrapped around a cylindrical spinner, and are beaten with a spiked ball-and-chain flail (colloquially called a mace) as they spin. Cruel and unusual, no? By dragging these miniaturized medieval weapons across the fabric's surface, Ford can check to make sure the fabric isn't snagging or tearing. Ford seat covers should be tough enough to withstand keys, pens, and other pointy objects to minimize wear-and-tear and enhance resale value. Need to see it to believe it? Visit Hamilton Big Country Ford to test drive a used vehicle, and see how well it has stood the test of time.
