As the icy tendrils of old man winter creep across our roads, the time has come, once again, to make sure our four-wheeled friends are prepped to serve us faithfully in inclement weather. If you own a Ford model, you already have the benefits of their infamous stability and safety equipment. But that’s not all you need to make it.

As an amalgamation of a wagon and an SUV, the 2016 Ford Flex is a full-size crossover that completely defies convention. Whereas most others are carbon copies of one another, the Flex forges forward, insistent on creating its own lane.

So, with that in mind, we ask that you now turn your attention to the video below. Team up with Autotrader personality, Jabari Jones, as he delineates some of the Flex's many winning qualities:

While we've little doubt the Flex's 287-horsepower entry-level engine will meet the needs of most motorists, we also recognize that others will want…

The Ford F-150 we know and love is one formidable beast, especially since its generational update in 2015. Yet, what if we told you there was a truck in its class that was even more beastly, and even more off-road capable? We're talking about the 2017 SVT Raptor of course, which arrives this autumn with a whole new set of skills.

When you're heading to your car with an armload of stuff to throw in the back, you know what has to come next: you can either set it all down, open the door, and pick it all back up, or you can try to one-arm it all while you fumble for the door handle you can't quite see, risking dropping everything. However, if you're driving the 2017 Ford Escape, you can simply swipe your foot below the rear bumper and the foot-activated liftgate will open up automatically. You'll be free to keep your arms full without…

Today, more drivers than ever are making the switch to the impressive and fun-to-drive models made by Ford. When it comes to crossovers, the Escape has long since been a top pick--so much so that it's one of the most popular in its class. But what's it like to own one? Today, we're going to cover that.

Big power can come from a little engine and the Ford 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is all the proof you'll ever need! This tiny powerhouse is a marvel in its own right and Ford Engineer Paul Seredinski explains how it works in a recent video. Boiled down simply, it limits power to keep fuel efficiency high while you're doing lower-speed things like driving down the road to the grocery store. But when you need more power, like when you're getting up to speed on the highway, that's when it makes a burst of muscle. It’s…

The Ford Focus was recently redesigned in order to offer more to drivers. More of what you ask? That very same question is asked by Kate McKinnon's character Dr. Genevieve St. Jermaine, PHD in the video below (and remember, the D stands for Darn...good).

See with so many updates to the Focus, it honestly begs the question of just who Ford is trying to impress here. Glam rockers? That's Dr. Genevieve St. Jermaine's first guess which is why she goes undercover as one to find out.
