The designers of the 2018 Ford Fusion went out of their way to make sure that this car stood out from other sedans in its category. The new Fusion comes with a variety of options that deliver a top-tier experience for the people lucky enough to drive it.

As you are shopping for your next car, you want to find something that is going to keep you safe and help you to feel happy. The 2018 Ford Explorer is a good choice for you.

There is a wide range of differing road conditions, and each one of them has a tire type that's been carefully crafted to ensure the best possible performance for your car.

What makes a truck embody greatness? Is it superior capability? How about extreme toughness and durability? Perhaps the greatest trucks are those that offer plenty of hauling and towing capabilities and can traverse through mud, sand, snow, and more, with ease, taking a beating. Or maybe the best trucks are those that combine the ultimate in luxurious motoring with an array of available safety features and technologies in addition to being off-road-ready and ready for the job, whatever that may be.

 

There is nothing worse than a breakdown. There is never a right time; although, you might consider yourself lucky should your vehicle quit in your driveway, either after you have returned home or before you leave, but that is a small consolation when your day has zero chance of turning out how you had envisioned.

The fact of the matter is that vehicles break down from time to time, and even a high-quality car will have needs eventually. Nothing lasts forever, but you can improve your car's longevity in a big way simply by following the recommended service guidelines…

Interested in the new Ford Explorer but worried about whether or not its performance features are right for you? Not to worry. Whether you're after venerated Ford power or the latest in the brand's efficiency technologies, there's a new Ford Explorer for that. And the Hamilton Big Country team can't wait to help you pick one out.

Road trips are the ideal activity for summer. Not only do they afford you the opportunity to see the scenery from a closer point of view, but they also prove to be economically friendly and overall, pleasant: until you have car trouble. Here are a few tips to help you avoid car trouble, or at least handle it, on your upcoming trip:

1. Have Your Vehicle Checked

Do not go on any road trip without first having your car’s functionality checked. This includes having your tires, brakes, oil, engine, and other possible troublemakers inspected.

2. Get Roadside Service

Every car looks better when it is clean. Whether its an older model or a brand-new one, nothing beats a shiny, clean car. So if you don't already, be sure to keep it that way by getting your vehicle washed often -- especially of you live near the coast where there is plenty of salt in the air. Be sure to opt for extra car washes in areas where the roads get salted for the winter and be sure to pay special attention to your undercarriage, since dirt (and salt) tend to collect there.
