Ford Moves Aggressively For Mainstream Navigation System

The idea of popularizing car navigation system on mass produced Ford cars is an attractive feature for most car enthusiasts. Common only in the luxury segment such as the Lincoln Navigator, on which the option costs around $3,000 on the 4x4 Ultimate editions, the car navigation system will soon be more affordable as foreseen by Ford. This is an aggressive step by Ford to be competitive and sway the family sedan market into its turf. Mainstream vehicles will soon find car navigation system on its option list as hand held global positioning phones and the concept of beaming satellite map data into the vehicles are also being considered by auto makers. Popularizing car navigation system will better enhance the features of mass produced Ford vehicles and make it more affordable. Ford now looks at the latest trend for auto manufacturers of putting navigation system on mainstream cars even as an option. Among the six Ford 2006 Ford Motor vehicles to offer navigation systems are the 2006 Lincoln Zephyr and Mercury Mountaineer while the other four nameplates are said to be the Ford Explorer and Explorer Sport Trac SUVs, Five Hundred sedan and Freestyle sport wagon.

Parts Train now offers exceptional Power Vision Towing Mirrors

As they aged, the extension mirror adjustment began to slip out of position on bumpy roads. Worse, after years of use, the extra weight and vibration of the slide-on mirror destroyed the breakaway cam for the driver's side original power mirror, so that the extra windage of the slide-on mirror and the worn breakaway cam caused the mirror to fold against the truck in strong head winds, or when passed by a big truck. To use Parts train's Power Vision Towing mirror, the power adjustment is a major convenience, just press a switch and the mirrors retract. Install power mirrors in your vehicles and see the difference. The mirror has a significantly larger viewing area than the stock power mirrors, and has less vibration. In addition to the usual 4-way power adjustment, the new mirrors have a motorized in-out adjustment, which will move them close to the vehicle for non-towing use, or extend them outward six inches for towing. If your truck comes with factory installed mirror heating, Partstrain also offers heated versions of the mirrors for continued frost-free rear views.

High Quality Ford Grilles: Combining Style and Function

As it allows air to pass, the grill helps in cooling the engine and of course, in improving its performance; thus, its use cannot be simply disregarded. The grille is connected to the shroud of the radiator so it also called as the radiator grille or the radiator air inlet. From the grille, the air goes directly to the radiator and to the engine. A car without a grille in front would not be beautiful to behold and so a grilles is also used to conceal parts under the hood that can be seen through the hole where it is placed. For added style, most grilles are mounted with a metal or plastic insert. Replacing your grille and other exterior auto parts could be a perfect way to restyle and customize your vehicle and make it stand out from the rest of the cars on the road. Auto designers follow this simple philosophy as well; thus, fast and high performance sports cars have aerodynamic body and Sport Utilities and other off-road vehicles have muscular and robust appearance and hard wearing auto parts. These vehicles' exterior and components are designed according to the driving activities for which they are fitted and used.

Reviving the Blackwood

The Blackwood delivers all of the emotional 'got to have it' appeal of the concept, and we'll keep production limited to enhance its exclusivity and collectibility." Adding to this, Jim Rogers, the general marketing manager for Lincoln Mercury, stated, "The Lincoln Blackwood is American Luxury because it breaks all the rules about luxury vehicles. It completely erases the lines between luxury cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. Probably the best word to describe the Blackwood is fun - fun to drive and fun to be seen driving." However, come this year, the Ford Motor Company has decided to revive and bring back the Lincoln Blackwood. Standard for this model is a four speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The new 2006 Lincoln Blackwood provides great space and plenty of room for passengers. It offers many refinements and a creak-free body. This vehicle also provides users a sense of security and gives them peace of mind as with regards to purchasing the right vehicle. And all due to its short lifespan, this vehicle has been known and considered as one of the most spectacular failures in the automotive industry. In its history the Lincoln Blackwood has been considered as another version of the Ford F-150 Crew Cab pickup truck. The difference, though, between the two is that the Lincoln Blackwood is trimmed and accessorized with luxury. During its one year lifespan, the Lincoln Blackwood was made available with a black exterior and a black interior. The bed of the truck was made over to serve as a trunk.
