Regular maintenance can help keep your Ford performing as intended. Important ownership habits include:

• Following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule

• Addressing warning lights or unusual vehicle behavior promptly
• Staying within recommended towing and payload limits
• Having maintenance and repairs performed by qualified technicians

The Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition are Ford SUVs with three rows of seating. The Explorer is a midsize SUV that combines passenger space with everyday versatility, while the larger Expedition provides additional room for passengers and cargo.

The right three-row Ford SUV depends on what you prioritize. Consider:

• Passenger and cargo space
• Towing requirements
• Daily driving needs
• Overall vehicle size
• The amount of flexibility you want from your SUV

For families shopping for a three-row SUV near Wichita, both the Explorer and Expedition are worth considering based on your space and capability requirements.

Ford Super Duty trucks are designed for some of the brand’s highest towing demands. The F-250 and F-350 are popular choices for drivers who regularly tow trailers, equipment, recreational vehicles, or other heavy loads.

Maximum towing capacity varies by configuration. Factors that can affect a truck’s towing rating include:

• Engine
• Drivetrain
• Cab and bed configuration
• Axle ratio
• Towing equipment
• Payload and vehicle configuration

The Ford Expedition also provides substantial towing capability for shoppers who want the passenger space of an SUV. If towing is a priority, compare the specifications for the exact Ford configuration you’re considering rather than relying on a model’s maximum rating alone.

Yes, Ford offers all-electric vehicles for both personal and commercial use. Ford’s electric lineup gives drivers alternatives to traditional gas-powered vehicles while maintaining the utility and performance expected from the brand.

Ford’s all-electric options include:

• Mustang Mach-E: An all-electric SUV with a sporty design and performance-oriented character
• F-150 Lightning: An all-electric pickup that brings electric power to the F-150 lineup
• E-Transit: An all-electric commercial van designed for business applications

The best electric Ford for you depends on factors such as your daily driving distance, passenger and cargo needs, charging access, and how you plan to use the vehicle.

Apple CarPlay is available on many Ford vehicles with compatible infotainment systems, although availability can vary by model, model year, and trim. Apple CarPlay allows compatible iPhones to connect with the vehicle’s infotainment system for convenient access to supported features.

Depending on the vehicle and system, Apple CarPlay can provide access to:

• Navigation
• Phone calls
• Messages
• Music
• Compatible apps

If Apple CarPlay is an important feature for your next Ford, check the technology specifications for the specific model and trim you’re considering. You can also ask the Conklin team about the available technology features on a particular vehicle.

The best Ford commercial vehicle depends on your business’s transportation, cargo, towing, and upfit requirements. Ford offers commercial solutions ranging from vans to capable pickup trucks, making it possible to choose a vehicle around the way your business operates.

The Ford Transit may be a good fit for businesses that need a full-size van for transporting people, equipment, or cargo. The E-Transit provides an all-electric alternative for businesses with routes and operations suited to an electric commercial vehicle.

Businesses that need a pickup can also consider Ford trucks:

• Maverick: A compact pickup for lighter-duty business needs
• F-150: A versatile full-size pickup for a broad range of work applications
