It’s late Friday afternoon and you’ve just secured a meeting with an important potential client downtown. Unfortunately, you weren’t planning for it, it came up at the last minute. You rush to gather samples of your work, then head for your vehicle. Of course, traffic is backed up. When you finally arrive at the parking garage closest to your meeting you find it full … and aren’t sure where else to park.

When you think of pro football players, words like “rough,” and “powerful,” and “hardcore,” usually come to mind. What doesn’t? The word, “yogi.” Yet, Derrick “D.J.” Townsel is both: a former NFL player and also a world-traveling, meditation experiencing yoga teacher.

Here's how one former pro football player-turned-yogi practices #yoga with the help of the 2017 #Ford #Explorer. https://t.co/EkwMUCrTKw

When you think of adventure, what comes to mind first? Is it long weekends in the backcountry, just you and your backpack and maybe a friend or two? Do you think of cross-country ventures and exploring new places? Or do you tend to stick a little closer to home, checking out the newest restaurants, clubs and art galleries in the city?

What do you need to “get done,” this summer? Whether it’s towing a parade float for your kid’s little league team in the community parade, towing a trailer to deer camp to scout out the scene for fall hunting, or a camper to the lake for a family weekend, we have a recommendation for you.

The Ford F-150. This pickup truck is an American favorite for good reason. It’s chock full of features and comfort inside to make the ride more pleasant, has a lot of torque and horsepower under the hood, and looks good to boot…

Do you want this to be the summer that you remember? Whether you spend it taking in beautiful sunsets over the lake, heading to the coast for some real waves, or simply enjoying a Sunday drive in the mountains or Saturday night romp in the city, picture yourself in one of these:

Imagine the growl of the motor, the feeling of speed and power as your new Ford Mustang eats up the miles? There’s a reason that this car remains an American classic.

Was history your favorite class in school? Whether it was or not, we think you’ll enjoy this enlightening “history” lesson by Ford regarding its popular pickup trucks. Here, we’re talking history as in, “this truck makes driving other brands history,” not in the literal sense.

With its military-grade aluminum alloy body, the Ford F-150 stands out and, combined with a specially-designed frame, makes the pickup truck up to 700 pounds lighter than others in its class. The 12,200 pounds of towing power gives drivers of the F-150 the freedom to tow nearly anything needed.

If you’ve ever played baseball, you have likely used a pitching machine at some point. Did you know that a typical pitching machine can launch a baseball at about 90 mph? Ford wondered how many miles per hour that machine could get when hooked up with one of its EcoBoost engines. If you guessed in the ballpark of 200 mph, you’re right!

Imagine being the guy trying to hit that baseball as it came flying at top speed out of the machine?

Fan of #tacotuesday? If so, you’ll likely get a kick out of this funny taco stunt. Guillermo, the popular sidekick of Jimmy Kimmel on the late comedy show, is asked by producers to create some tacos on the go. This shouldn’t be a problem, right? Well, he does have to make tacos from a tray on his lap. That makes it a little more challenging!

When you strive to find a truck that goes above and beyond to meet your needs, you can count on the 2016 Ford F-150 to be up for the challenge. Not only is it a tough and powerful truck, but it offers available driver assistance features that can save the day.

Take a look to see the available class-exclusive 360 degree camera in action. When you need help navigating in and out of tight spaces, the size of the F-150 is not an obstacle.

The North American International Auto Show just wrapped up, leaving us with plenty of models to get excited about. Rolling off production lines this spring will be the 2016 Ford Focus RS. This all-wheel drive hatchback will provide drivers with 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. With power and a stylish design to bring to the road, we're certain this performance vehicle will be a hit.
