As a new compact hybrid, the 2018 Ford C-MAX has become a smash hit among fans of hybrids and electric cars, and it's easy to see why! It boasts a bevy of impressive performance and technology features, in addition to impressive combined horsepower. There are few hybrids on the market with as much punch for so little power!

Connect your Android smartphone to the car's available SYNC 3 system to enjoy Android Auto capabilities as you cruise the streets of Pennsylvania. You have access to a wide variety of infotainment, convenience, and safety technologies in the new C-MAX…

More and more drivers and car owners are turning towards full-size sedans to meet all of their needs. That is why we here at Brian Hoskins Ford of Coatesville, PA are so excited about the new 2018 Ford Taurus.

You will have all the control you want over the gear selection when you opt to use 6 speed SelectShift feature that Ford offers. This allows you to have the best of both worlds in terms of transmission and convenience. 

The suspension on your vehicle actually refers to a few different parts. This can include your tires, the amount of air in your tires (tire pressure), your shocks, springs and other parts that link these items together. If one or more of these parts is out of sync or is damaged, then you can see some pretty bad damage to your vehicle in a short amount of time. For example, low air in your tires can damage your tires, damage your brakes and have a negative impact on your shocks and springs.

When you need to make a sudden stop while driving, there is nothing more important than a working brake system. Regularly having your brakes inspected is the best way to ensure that you'll be able to stop when you need to, and the Brian Hoskins Ford service team can assist.

The brake system is made up of many components. Starting from the brake pedal, force is transmitted through the brake line to your brakes. The brakes apply force to the wheels, slowing down and stopping your vehicle. Brake pads wear out over time and need replacement. 

You may believe that you can afford a particular vehicle because you've looked at its price tag and the monthly payments are within your budget. However, this can be misleading because there are a few other expenses that you must also take into account when determining a car's "total cost." Have you taken into account the following additional expenses?

• Insurance
• Fuel
• Regulatory fees 

Driving with poor tire tread is one of the most hazardous things that you can do on the streets of Coatesville, PA this winter. Your tread is what gives you traction on the road, and without it you will find that your car, truck, or SUV performs much worse on the road. This effect is amplified under wet road conditions.

On a rainy day, a bald tire cannot displace the water correctly. This will lead to the feeling that your car is slipping or hydroplaning as you drive. It is a nerve wracking experience, to say the least. 

Coatesville Ford enthusiasts, get ready for a new and improved infotainment experience! The latest installment of the Ford SYNC 3 infotainment system has several new features that make using it easier. Navigation is now easier thanks to a navigation screen that can be swiped to zoom in on a location. It is intuitive to use and similar to using a smartphone, which people will love.

Another new feature that drivers will enjoy is the home screen that displays your phone, audio and navigation system in a three-way split screen. 

Are you excited to buy or lease a new Ford vehicle from Brian Hoskins Ford? If you haven’t decided which model to pursue, now’s the time to get familiar with some of the new Ford technologies, like the Blind Spot Information System available for new Ford cars. Using sensors on your car, BLIS will spot hazardous automobiles up to ten feet behind your bumper and immediately turn on warning lights.

BLIS is also extremely beneficial if you need to reverse out of a tight parking space or driveway when children or pets could be playing. 

The market for SUVs has come a long way over the years, but at least one name has stood the test of time: The Ford Explorer. And the 2018 edition of the Ford Explorer is no exception to the rule.

While the Explorer is a mid-sized SUV, it still has room enough to sit up to seven people comfortably, allowing you to fit all of your family and your gear when you hit the road. The available 12 speaker sound system and dual-zone climate controls make sure you ride in style.

But don’t think that the comfort has come…
