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.

Pro Trailer Backup Assist is one of many driver-assist technologies now available for the F-150, and many that involve easier trailering. If you’re interested in this technology and you’d like to experience the 2016 F-150 firsthand, visit us at Hamilton Big Country Ford Inc for a test drive in the popular model.

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.

And that’s because this turbo 2.3-liter four-cylinder strikes a great balance between the needs of performance and efficiency. Overall output stands at 270 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while EPA estimates for a front-drive, EcoBoost-equipped Explorer ring in at a robust 22 mpg combined (19 city/28 highway). Enjoying the best of both worlds has never been easier.

If you’d like to learn more about this charming crossover, or wish to get behind the wheel of one, we encourage you to drop by our Clovis, NM dealership. Our automotive experts are ready to answer your every question about the Explorer, or any other Ford model within the present portfolio.

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.

Imagine if you had #InflatableRearSeatbelt wherever you went! ????Andrea Compton ?? by Zach King #6SecFordTech https://t.co/inPagmWwhY

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.

That’s the case with the new aluminum bodied F-Series Super Duty lineup, set to go on sale next autumn (that’s right, 2016). Nonetheless, we’re getting our first look now. While the emphasis with pickups isn’t on design, we have to say, this is one stylish beast. Beneath the skin, Ford is also promising us even more capability.

We have a bit of a wait before we hear about that, though. So check out this truck in action.

Are you ready to see what the current generation of new Ford pickups can do? Drop by our dealership in Clovis, NM and sign up for a test drive so you can see them flex their muscles.
