Fuel-efficient Fords at Crain Ford of Little Rock

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.

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.

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.

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. Go ahead and find a certified pre-owned Ford, so you’ll be beyond covered. Drive your Ford with peace of mind with Ford Blue Advantage.

One of the benefits of buying a new vehicle is that you can customize features on the exterior and the interior. When you order your next car from a Ford dealer, you can have everything you’ve ever wanted in your vehicle and more. Customizing your vehicle allows you to make it a true extension of your lifestyle.


Ford makes vehicles for drivers with different budgets, preferences, lifestyles, and needs. From SUVs and sedans to sports cars and vehicles built for adventure, you can’t go wrong with a Ford. The customization process allows you to personalize your vehicle and add extra features that will simplify your life, make the daily commute more convenient, and improve your overall driving experience.


Choose Your Color

One of the first steps in the customization process is choosing your color. Depending on the vehicle, you’ll have several options, including Agate Black Metallic, Rapid Red Metallic, Carbonized Gray Metallic, and Star White Metallic. Some models provide more unique colors like Forged Green metallic, available for the Ford Explorer, Robin’s Egg Blue, and Cactus Gray, popular options available in the Bronco Sport.


Choose Your Powertrain

You can also customize your new vehicle’s powertrain, including the engine, the drive, and the transmission. While these options come standard for many vehicles, you’ll have different choices depending on the model and trim level. For vehicles like the popular Maverick, you can choose different off-road and towing packages to equip your vehicle for exactly what you want it to do.


Customize Your Exterior

You’ll also have the option of choosing from different wheel options, tires, and extras. For vehicles like the Bronco, you can add different roof options, bumpers, and extra exterior details to personalize your vehicle and ensure it’s anything but basic.


Design Your Interior

Not only can you customize every last detail on your vehicle’s exterior, but you’ll also be able to choose your interior design and seating material. Vehicles like the Expedition come with customized second-row seating and extra interior options like heated and ventilated seating to make the passenger’s driving experience more comfortable and convenient.

You can also add extra interior options to your vehicle, like a moon roof, head restraints, and practical add-ons for extra organization. The cargo organizers can fit groceries, shopping bags, and backpacks, leaving plenty of room for everything you need to transport.

If you’re considering buying a new vehicle, make your next vehicle one you can customize.

Choosing Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) components can make a big difference in your vehicle’s performance, reliability, and longevity. OEM parts, made directly by your car’s manufacturer, bring several advantages. Visiting your local Ford dealer ensures you access these premium and reliable parts tailored for your specific car model. Below are five benefits of opting for OEM components for your vehicle.


1. Guaranteed Quality

The first major advantage of choosing OEM components is their guaranteed quality. These parts are crafted to precise design specifications and undergo stringent manufacturer testing, standing out from aftermarket alternatives. So, when you choose OEM, you’re investing in superior, reliable components for your vehicle.


2. Perfect Fit and Enhanced Performance

OEM components are designed specifically for particular car models, ensuring a flawless fit every time during replacement. But the advantages of OEM components extend beyond ease of installation. Take, for example, a fuel injector. If the injector isn’t the exact match for your car make and model, the installation could be problematic, and the engine’s performance might suffer, leading to lower fuel efficiency and reduced power, ultimately shortening your car’s lifespan.

By opting for an OEM fuel injector, you can maintain your vehicle’s performance and safeguard other components in the engine system from damage.


3. Warranty and Support

OEM components often come with a manufacturer’s warranty. For instance, if you replace your car’s transmission and discover an issue a few weeks later, your warranty can cover the replacement or repair costs, saving you from unexpected expenses. Additionally, dealerships offer comprehensive customer support. Any doubts or problems you encounter can be promptly addressed by experts who understand your vehicle inside and out.


4. Longevity and Durability

Who wouldn’t want car parts that last longer? That’s exactly what you get with OEM components. Imagine buying a cheap, generic battery for your car. The battery works, but after a short while, you’re back at the store for a new one. With an OEM battery, it’s built to last longer and withstand more use, meaning you’re not replacing it nearly as often.

Getting more durable parts can save you money and time in the long run as well as the headache of constantly dealing with failed components.


5. High Resale Value

Using OEM components not only maintains your car’s performance now but also boosts its resale value later. These top-quality parts show potential buyers you’ve cared for your vehicle diligently. Essentially, it’s a win-win choice, benefitting you now and paying off in the future.

Choosing original manufacturer pieces for your vehicle offers benefits like quality, perfect fit, warranty, durability, and value retention. Next time you consider a vehicle repair or service, think about these advantages. Come see us at Crain Ford of Little Rock today for top-notch service and authentic parts.
