In the class of full-size pickups, none have achieved the same legendary status that the Ford F-150 has. The 2023 edition delivers even more of the exciting performance and comfort features that have helped make this truck so popular with drivers, as well as a suite of driver-assist systems that can enhance drives while improving safety. Performance In addition to an optional four-wheel-drive powertrain for off-road adventures, the 2023 F-150 offers several engine options to choose from, all of which deliver impressive horsepower. Along with five V6 engines that range from a base 325-horsepower 2.7-liter to the F-150 Raptor's 450-horsepower 3.5-liter high-output variant, there are also two V8 options. The first V8 is a 400-horsepower 5.0-liter and the other is the Raptor R's 5.2-liter V8, which produces 700 horses, more than enough for high-speed off-road racing. If you need to haul cargo or outdoor equipment in a trailer, this truck is capable of hauling up to 14,000 pounds when properly equipped, and even its 3.5-liter hybrid engine is capable of towing up to 12,700 pounds. Interior Inside this edition's cabin, there's a wide array of available comfort and productivity features to meet just about every need, including a fold-out interior work surface, leather seats with both heating and ventilation controls, and both an outside temperature display and dual-zone climate control. On fair-weather days, both rows of passengers can enjoy a breeze with the dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and in addition to multiple cab sizes, which offer room for up to six passengers in SuperCab and SuperCrew models, both two- and four-door designs are available for you to choose from. Technology SYNC 4 is both convenient and entertaining, as it's an infotainment system that lets you access navigation assistance, apps, and satellite radio, as well as smartphones through a wireless Bluetooth connection. When near the bed of the vehicle, you can utilize the available Pro Power Onboard feature if you need to power up electrical tools or other large devices, and if you're within 50 feet of the truck, connecting to the Internet is fast and easy when you have a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot in the cabin. Safety This edition also offers a wide range of different safety monitoring features that can help prevent collisions, such as the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), an intuitive system that warns whenever other vehicles are driving in your blind zones, and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, which detects when other vehicles are blocking your path and can apply the brakes if you don't respond to its visual and audio warnings. If, for any reason, a collision does occur, Post-Collision Braking can sense when there's an impact and can also automatically apply the brakes afterward to prevent another collision if you're unable to do so. SOS Post-Crash Alert can then sound an alarm and illuminates the vehicle's hazard lights to warn others of your presence. Tough yet stylish and comfortable, the 2023 F-150 brings interior comfort luxuries and advanced tech to an impressive powertrain, making it the perfect truck for just about every scenario.

The combustion process produces dangerous chemicals like carbon monoxide, which increase air pollution. Your Ford's catalytic converter converts these toxic chemicals into harmless ones, reducing pollution by up to 99%. A converter can wear out or become damaged, and your car's emissions will rise. Your Ford dealer can repair or replace the converter for you, and these are some signs the converter is failing. Thick Black Smoke Black exhaust smoke is a highly visible sign of a problem, as it means the converter isn't working. The smoke has a foul, acrid smell due to the presence of unconverted combustion byproducts. There are several reasons for a converter failure. The most common causes are the converter has failed due to age or damage due to another engine problem. A converter has a long life of approximately ten years, after which it will gradually wear out. Engine problems like a high fuel-to-air ratio can lead to converter damage. A fuel-rich engine reduces combustion efficiency and prevents much of the fuel from igniting. Hot, unburnt fuel is dumped into the converter, which can overheat the converter and cause it to fail. We'll examine your converter and repair or replace it. Your Engine Starts Then Dies When your engine starts, the combustion process begins. If your engine fails within seconds of starting, you could have a blocked converter. The fuel-air mixture in the cylinders is compressed, then ignited to create combustion. Once the cylinder contents have ignited, the waste products and gases enter the converter for conversion. Carbon buildup in the converter can block the exit from the converter into the exhaust system. If this happens, the combustion gases flow back into the engine and raise its internal pressure. Increasing gas pressure in the engine chokes off combustion and your engine will die. We can easily fix this problem by removing the converter and clearing the blockage before we reinstall it. Rattling Noises A converter uses heat, high pressure, and chemical reactions to convert engine gases. The inside of a converter is shaped like a honeycomb, as this design provides the largest surface area possible for quick and efficient gas conversion. A honeycomb is strong, but any damage to the structure can cause cracks. Heat and high pressure in the converter will cause cracks to expand, and honeycomb pieces can break off. Broken honeycomb pieces will move around in the converter, producing a rattling sound as they do so. Our technicians will examine your converter and replace it if it's damaged. A damaged converter increases toxic emissions and will lead to engine damage. Call us today at Coughlin Ford of Pataskala, and we'll fix the problem for you.

With both highway and off-road capabilities, the legendary Bronco has made a name for itself as being a versatile SUV with plenty of cabin comforts. The 2023 edition delivers the same rugged performance you'd expect from Ford, though with more powerful terrain-tackling features and impressive technology, as well. If you're looking for the perfect excuse to set out for off-road adventures in style, here's a quick introduction to the all-new 2023 Ford Bronco. Engine Performance Among several available trims for this edition, there are also three powerful engines offered: a 2.3-liter I-4, a 2.7-liter V6, and a 3.0-liter V6. The I-4 produces 300 horsepower and comes standard with the Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Everglades, Black Diamond, and Heritage trims. The 2.7-liter sports 330 horsepower and is standard with the Wildtrak and Heritage Limited trims, though it's also an available option for many others. The 3.0-liter, which is standard on Raptor models, pushes out an incredible 418 horses. Off-Road Capabilities Unlike other SUVs, this one comes with plenty of off-road enhancements that are standard, including a four-wheel-drive powertrain, a terrain management system with up to seven modes, and the High-Speed Off-Road Suspension System (H.O.S.S.). While driving on trails, there's also Trail Turn Assist, which can minimize your turning radius to improve handling while driving at slower speeds. Interior and Exterior For such a rugged vehicle, the 2023 Bronco has a surprisingly luxurious and comfortable interior, which offers power-adjustable heated seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and a 60/40 split-folding seat in the back. Both hard-top and soft-top roofs are available, though the hard-top option has the advantage of being durable enough to pitch a tent on. There's also a slide-out tailgate that serves as both a work surface and a step for accessing cargo. Advanced Technology In addition to the vehicle's SYNC infotainment system, which combines navigation assistance, music, and other media on an available 12-inch display, there's plenty of other exciting technology on board. Off-Road Hero Switches puts everything you need at your fingertips, as you have a set of buttons directly on the dash that allows you to engage or disengage many of your off-road features, like Trail Turn Assist and both the front- and rear-locking differentials. Sophisticated Safety This edition of the Bronco also integrates plenty of cutting-edge safety features, including Pre-Collision Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking, which work together to help you steer clear of objects on the road while applying the brakes if you're unable to do so. The 360-degree Trail Cam helps you visualize terrain changes before you encounter them and also conveniently makes parking safer when getting in and out of the vehicle in dark parking lots. As versatile as it is comfortable, the 2023 Bronco is a pioneer among modern SUVs, thanks to its strong performance, spacious cabin, and trail-ready technology.

If you're shopping for your next vehicle and you haven't considered getting financing, now is the time to think about it. There are lots of great reasons to ask us at Coughlin Ford of Pataskala about our car financing options. Here are a few benefits you can expect when you finance your vehicle. 1. Your Dealer Has the Best Options When you're looking for financing for your vehicle, you have a few options. But the best place to get financing is your official dealership. Dealers can provide you with the best financing rates, ensuring you keep your monthly payments as affordable as possible. There may also be some financing incentives available that you'll definitely want to ask about. 2. You Can Get a Better Car If you're not getting financing, you'll need to pay for your vehicle in cash. That means that you'll need to be very mindful of your budget. You'll also need to expect to have to make some major sacrifices since you'll be constrained by your limited budget. But these are things you won't need to worry about when you get financing from your official dealer. Instead of paying for the entirety of your car upfront, you'll only put down a portion as your down payment. You'll find much more flexibility in your budget which means you can get a better car. 3. Let Your Savings Grow If you're planning on paying for your car in cash, then expect to have to take out a significant portion of your savings. Is that something that makes you feel uncomfortable? Worried about not having that money for emergencies in the future? Financing can help. Since you put down just a portion of the car's cost as a down payment and then pay the rest off later, you'll only need to take out a small amount of your savings. You can keep saving this money for other big purchases you may need to make down the road. 4. Don't Worry About Collateral With some types of loans with certain lenders, you'll be required to provide collateral in case you wind up not being able to complete your payments for some reason. This can be stressful. But one of the biggest benefits of getting a car loan is that there is no extra collateral necessary since the car itself serves that purpose. If you're getting ready to buy your next vehicle and you're looking to afford something high-quality, then it's a good idea to consider getting financing. Remember to head to the right place for the best financing options. Ready to see how we can help? Visit our financing department at Coughlin Ford of Pataskala. Image via Pixabay.com.
