Finding ways to save money can be difficult. If you’re always cutting corners to add more padding to your budget, we may have a solution. Have you ever considered trading in that gas-guzzler for an electric vehicle or maybe a hybrid? With the current national average around $3.25 for a gallon of gas, a tank of gas will cost you over $45 to fill up a 14-gallon tank. That’s a lot of money being spent on fuel. Instead of filling up your tank, why not fill up your wallet? Try out a hybrid or EV from Crain Ford of Little Rock. Contact Us Today for Details About How You Can Custom Order Your Ford More and more car manufacturers are entering the hybrid and electric vehicle game. But Ford continues to be at the forefront of that change. The more hybrid and EV options available, the more choices you have as a driver to make the switch and save some cash. Everyone loves the Ford Mustang, but there’s enough love to go around now that there’s two Mustangs in the barn. Yep. That’s right. We’ve added an all-electric vehicle, the Mustang Mach-E, to our family of SUVs. Being a Mustang, it had a lot to live up to, but we’re here to tell you it beyond delivered. You won’t even miss driving a gas-powered vehicle when you’re racing along at 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. This Mustang can’t be tamed, and you’d never know it was an EV as it has all the best safety and technology features. The estimated mileage range varies based on the trim you choose. But the California Route 1 gets an estimated range of 312 miles with a full charge. On average, U.S. drivers travel 37 miles each day. If your Mustang Mach-E can last 312 miles, you won’t have to charge for almost eight days. Find the best trim for you, either the Select, Premium, California Route 1, or the GT. Since the Mustang Mach-E is all-electric, there’s no need for an engine up front. Instead, it’s been replaced with a drainable frunk. Say what? Yep, you can use that space as a cooler, fill it with ice, and have a party. Drain it out when you’re done. You can also use the frunk for groceries or to store all the things you’d typically have in your trunk but just in the front now. Browse Our Current New and Used Inventory to Find Your Fuel-Efficient Ford Maybe you aren’t ready to give up gas just yet. That’s ok. You can still save money with our hybrid options, like the Ford Escape. It comes in two trims, the ST-Line Elite Hybrid and the Plug-in Hybrid. With the ST-Line Elite Hybrid, you’ll get an EPA-estimated combined total of 39 MPG. That’s with 42 in the city and 36 on the highway. If you choose the plug-in Escape, it runs an EPA-estimated 37 miles of electric-only driving with a 10.7-kWh battery pack. There’s no escaping saving on gas money regardless of which hybrid Escape you take. Besides the Mustang-Mach E or Escape, you can choose from other EVs and hybrids. There’s the E-Transit van or the F-150 Lightning, both EVs. Or stick with a hybrid model and go with the Maverick or F-150 pickup truck. Search our online inventory for hybrid or EV models.

Let’s find out more about the difference between used and certified pre-owned. View Current New Ford Inventory at Crain Ford of Little Rock Used vehicles are cars that have been tagged and titled by a previous owner. While used and certified pre-owned vehicles both have prior owners, to be classified as a certified pre-owned vehicle, it must meet certain criteria. With Ford Blue Advantage, they’ve developed a system to classify vehicles into three categories: Gold Certified, EV Certified and Blue Certified. Categories are determined by different factors like the vehicle’s age and mileage. Find Out Why Ford Certified Pre-Owned is the Best— See Inventory at Crain Ford of Little Rock To qualify for Gold, the Ford in question must not have more than 80,000 miles and be no older than 6 years. Once the Ford passes the 172-point inspection and meets all the requirements, it is deemed a Gold Certified Pre-Owned Ford. You’ll receive, upon purchasing the Ford, a 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty. Also, take advantage of the 7-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. There’s also a 14-day or 1,000-mile money-back guarantee. Buying a certified pre-owned Ford also gets you 24/7 roadside assistance and 22,000 FordPass Rewards Points. These points can be used toward your first two maintenance visits. Thinking about an EV? Buy a certified pre-owned Ford EV and get the same benefits as the Gold Certified level, with one exception. Instead of the 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, you’ll get an 8-year/100,000-mile BaseCARE EV limited warranty. For EV models, they must pass a 127-point inspection, while the last of the Ford Blue Advantage tier, the Blue Certified level, must pass a 139-point inspection. This tier also allows the vehicle to be up to 10 years old as long as it has less than 150,000 miles. After meeting the criteria, you’ll be given a 90-day/4,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty and 11,000 FordPass Rewards Points to use on your first maintenance visit. Find out more about Ford Blue Advantage and determine if this program is right for you. It’s a no-brainer if you’re looking to buy a used Ford.

Lake Maumelle Covering almost 9,000 acres of surface area, Lake Maumelle is one of the primary sources of drinking water for the city of Little Rock and other nearby towns.

Other species commonly found in the area include white bass, striped bass, and largemouth bass. The lake features several boat ramps and shore fishing areas, as well as well-maintained facilities, including picnic areas and campgrounds.

When you need a Ford oil change, you need to get that dealt with as soon as you can. Visit your Little Rock, AR Ford dealer, because if you don't, you could damage your Ford vehicle. You should learn the signs that your oil needs to be changed, and you should learn about how often you should change your oil in general, too. How Often Do You Need a Ford Oil Change? You generally need to change the oil in your Ford every 7,500 miles. If your vehicle was manufactured before 2007, then Ford recommends that you change your oil every 5,000 miles. Both of these figures, of course, depend on your vehicle's model and your driving habits. Check your manual, as it should be able to provide advice that's more specific to your vehicle's model. You could also ask your technician for their recommendation for your oil change frequency. They'll be able to factor in your driving habits and provide personalized advice. Where Should You Get an Oil Change in Little Rock, AR? The best place to find a top-notch technician is at a Ford dealership. Dealership technicians are experts on the vehicles that the dealership sells. Finding a Ford expert is the best choice because they'll know more than any general technician that you meet. Dealership technicians often have access to genuine Ford parts, too. Neglecting an oil change can damage your engine, and sometimes you'll need to have components of it replaced. It's best to get genuine parts used in new-build Ford vehicles, and going to a dealership is your best chance at getting those original parts. Signs You Need to Change Your Oil 1. Your Engine Gets Loud If your engine starts getting louder, then you should head to your local dealership to get it checked out. An increase in engine noise can indicate several faults, and old oil is included in that list of faults. When your oil becomes old and badly textured, then it can't lubricate your engine effectively. This makes the engine get louder. It may also cause a knocking sound. 2. Dark Tailpipe Emissions Your vehicle's exhaust fumes shouldn't be dark. Instead, the tailpipe emissions should be invisible. If you notice that the emissions have become smoky, then your oil may be past its prime. 3. You Smell Oil If you can smell oil in your cabin, then you most likely have an oil leak. You'll need to get your system repaired, and then you'll need an oil change. You may also notice an oil leak if you see oil pooling near your vehicle. If you notice that your oil level is dropping unusually quickly, then that can indicate an oil leak, too. If you need an oil change, visit us at Crain Ford of Little Rock.
