3 Common Mistakes, When Purchasing a Used 2012 Ford Escape XLT

Syracuse Used Ford Escape XLT

Many drivers do not know the mistakes they might make when they decide to purchase a car. There are 3 common mistakes which upstate New York SUV drivers tend to make, and this can in fact cost them more from their pockets. Fuccillo Ford of Adams, NY wants to give a heads up to all of Syracuse SUV drivers, to make sure they save more.

Monthly Payments, Expenses, & Loans. The first thing a driver does is that they look at the price tag of the car they are willing to purchase. However, some might not be able to afford the cars and may need a loan to cover the extra cost. To add more tension, they then think about the estimated cost and expenses of the car on a monthly basis. This is a big No No. Negotiations are a good way to ensure you get what you want, at a fair and very reasonable price. Secondly, if you get it serviced regularly, and take careful precautions, your used Ford Escape can last a long time. You will not need to worry about loans either; negotiations can always be made at a good price.
New versus Old. This battle goes on within the minds of every other driver, namely which one is the best. New cars are expensive for some, whereas there could be something fishy with a second hand or used car. The first thing all drivers need to understand is that cars are not investments, you can easily sell it for a very reasonable price if there are any problems. Cars with warranties are the most preferred choices for everyone, and the good news is that older cars have warranties too. All in all, if you can afford a new car, that's great, if not, than buying an old one will not prove to be a bad decision.
Forgetting about other Costs. The cost of the car is the first thing you should look at, but you cannot ignore other costs such as regular car maintenance costs, gas costs, cleaning and power wash costs, etc. These things are important too. You will need to purchase a small tool box if you already do not have one and, just like that, more costs come out. Be prepared for them though, you never know when you may get a flat tire.

Guest Blog From Watertown: Focusing on Our New Lives with a used Ford Focus

Sun, 23 Nov 2014 21:18:00 EST

Used Ford Focus

‘These Blog Posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories

My name is Daniyal, and I have a very unique story to share with you and my experience with my car, Ford Focus. I am from Adams, NY; I belong to a simple middle class family, with lots of strict rules. In fact I use to secretly call my dad Hitler for being so strict; being the only boy in the family, I faced a lot of restrictions as I grew older.

One day, when I came back from one, I remember how stunned I was to see some guests over, and I could not believe my ears, I was to be married and that too to a stranger! Yeah, we were pretty old fashioned back then. She was beautiful no doubt about that, but how could I spend my life with someone who I had nothing in common with? As always, Hitler did not listen to me, and I am actually glad he did not. Turns out we had more things in common than we thought we had.

I found out from a mutual friend of ours that Elsa's (that was her name) birthday was coming up. As a new couple, we hardly had anything to talk about, and this was going to be really hard I told myself, so I started to search the internet for gift ideas. I wandered off to many different sites and somehow, I was on Fuccillo Ford's website before I knew it. There it was, the absolutely perfect and the most stunning gift I thought to myself as the picture of the Ford Focus came on to my screen, leaving a grin on my face.

The next morning, I headed over there, since they were located in Adams as well. I did not have time to waste at all. I took all the time I needed to observe the car, it was absolutely flawless and the representative who had been helping me was indeed the best.

I drove the car home and hid it in our garage, thinking it would be a great idea to surprise Elsa. All night I was just praying that hopefully she would like the car. The clock struck 12, it was time. I walked up to her and wished her; her face lit up like a Christmas tree. I took her outside making excuses of going for a walk and there it was, the Ford Focus in the driveway with a huge red ribbon on top.

She loved it so much and was it a complete shock, she gave me a very tight hug. I almost fell backwards. I guess that is how our story really started, thanks to the Ford Focus, we are now focusing on the beginning of our new chapter in life.

Syracuse, Stay Toasty This Winter With a Portable Heater in your Ford Explorer

Tue, 18 Nov 2014 21:15:00 EST

Used Ford Explorer

It is a real hassle trying to change the heater core of your SUV to change. The labor charges are high and you have to bear without while you take out the time to get it replaced. With a used Ford Explorer a portable heater is a great solution. You have a couple of options here.

Residential Heaters

Residential space heaters were made to heat large spacious volumes of air at a time. Many people have and still use this in Watertown, Adams and Syracuse, NY. But there a few problems with this option, since they are made for spacious spaces they come with a warning in fine print that says that they must be placed at least 2 to 4 feet away from inflammable materials. This means that they definitely pose a hazard to confined spaces like the inside of a car.

Plus there is the hassle of adding an inverter in your car as it will not work without the proper wattage. Getting a portable residential heater is not illegal and you can place it on the floor of the car but at your own risk.

12V Car Heaters

This is a good alternative to your core heater. This portable heater can fulfill all of your Ford Explorer heating needs. However do not get the one that you can plug into your cigarette lighter. Those ones do not emit enough heat to warm up the interior completely. Anything plugged into the cigarette lighter can only give between 10 to 15 amps and no more. The amount of heat your car needs will blow the fuse.

What you need is a larger car heater of 12V because that is the only heater able to work effectively in winter. This portable heater is wired directly to the car battery and has an inline fuse to ensure safety. When you think about how well you want these heaters to work you need to keep in mind that your Ford's mileage could be affected.

In the end you have to weigh the cost and benefit of each option including the core heater. If the portable heaters are not for you then you are just better off at just saving money and getting your core fixed.

Guest Blog from Alexandria Bay: Used Ford Escape: I Never Thought I"d Buy An SUV

Wed, 12 Nov 2014 21:14:00 EST

Used Ford Escape

These Blog Posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories

I needed a car and I had been saving for quite a while. I never had a car as a teenager but the need for something similar to a mustang was picking at the back of my head. I really wanted something that would stand out so I decided to buy a new car.

A friend of mine and I were headed to Watertown in his car. On the way we decided it was high time that I did what I saving for all this time. He recommended an auto mall in Adams, NY so that's where we went.

At first I had my sights set on a Chevy. Nice sleek and brand new, that was the dream and this car was right in front of me. But there were things that I wanted as a PERSONAL PREFERENCE that the Chevy did not have. I began thinking whether it was such a good idea buying a car at all. However the helpful staff at the car shop began asking me a few questions about my needs.

Turns out SUVs were in vogue. But that was not reason enough. A ford SUV offered good fuel economy as well. In fact the most economical SUVs have combined mileage figures that go as low as mid 20s.

Jokes apart the cargo capacity of an SUV holds more than what a station wagon could which is perfect if I happen to travel with my dogs. The used Ford Escape also is known to tread better in snow. With winter coming up I thought it was a life saving feature. And after that I would be able to take my friends on an off road trip in my 4WD Ford this time around.

After I had a look at the car I realized one more thing about the Ford. It was built for safety. It is bigger and has a heavier built with taller seating. That would definitely be a good investment on my part. I decided I did not only need but wanted the car too.

I actually ended up not using a portion of my savings when I made the final payment for my car. All the way home that day I was on cloud nine!

2016 Ford Super Duty F-250

Mon, 9 Nov 2015 16:04:00 EST

Ford F-250

F-250 gets the towing max fifth wheel of the Ford F450. This number was only topped by the latest model of Ram, 3500 Heavy Duty. That being said, the new Ford's hauling capabilities will leave anyone in awe.

Hood Specs

The latest Super Duty is out at Fuccillo Ford Adams with 6.7 turbo diesel (Power Stroke), 6.2 liter gasoline section, and 2 V8 engines. These can be fitted to a 6 speed automatic transmission.

Ford Super Duty comes with an option package that you can use to have your vehicle running on CNG or propane, according to what you prefer. In the diesel models, the company mentioned that the nitrogen oxide levels were cut down to over 80% than what was available in the previous models. However the EPA still has not released any Fuel Economy Ratings for the engine on this hunk of metal.

Safety Features

The 2016 Ford Super Duty F-250 has 4 wheel anti lock disc brakes installed. There is hill start assists, sway control, side curtain airbags, stability control and traction, and a post crash alert system. The Integrated Trailer Brake is a standard feature but the rear view camera is an optional feature.

The Refinement on the Inside

Anyone will like the slick look of the 2016 Ford with its ventilated seat and soft leather. The steering wheel is heated which is one of the things that anyone looking for a Ford truck will thank the designer for. The interior also gives rooms for anyone who wants to further equip their ride.

The seating is secluded to three passengers; however the super cab and crew cab choices can get you up to six passengers.

The Features

The most basic things the vehicle offers is that you still get to crank your windows manually, there is a 2 speaker fm radio and the cruise control is an optional feature.

Exterior Style

The truck exudes a brawny look with its enormous grille in the front and a tailgate that looks like it is competing. To top that it even has SUPER DUTY imprinted on it. This model is not of the generation that switched to aluminum body like we saw with the F -150. In the Super Duty line the smallest of the vehicles look like one of the biggest trucks.

Body Styles, Options and the Trim

Super Duty F-250 comes with 3 cab styles which are the four door crew, the four door extended, and the two door regular.

The extended cab has a rear hinged style outlook, and crew cab comes with the conventional doors so many of us are used to. Whatever you choose you get either an 8 foot or a 6.8 foot bed in the cargo space.

There are five trim levels too. These include Platinum, King Ranch, upscale Lariat, midlevel XLT, and Base XLT.

Apart from the design cues the features that remain standard on upper trim levels are navigations and tailgate assist which are a standard feature in the lower trim styles.

Cicero, Why the Heater Of Your Used Ford F-150 Could Fail

Sun, 9 Nov 2014 21:10:00 EST

Used Ford F-150

Nobody likes to drive around thinking why they feel so cold until they are stuck in traffic and they realize that the heater was never working at all.

There are several things that can be reason for your car's heater to break down. The very top of this list is whether there is any heat left in your car's system.

How Does The Heating System Really Work?

Automotive heating systems run on a combination of air and fuel. This can even cause your used Ford F-150 to become very hot to the point that it needs a coolant system to function properly. A proper cooling system has 50% coolant and 50% water. Any good mechanic in Watertown, Adams and Syracuse can tell you that.

Where Is The Coolant Going?

The first thing that you need to do check is whether the heater core is getting enough hot coolant that helps divert the heat towards your feet. This is the easiest task; all you have to do is drive at 40mph or faster than that and switch to heat. If you feel the waves coming from the vent then your heater is getting the coolant. The problem could just be that your heater has dead speed so you need to check that too. Put on varying fan speeds and see for yourself whether you feel the varying changes in heat.

But if you do not feel the heat at all that means that the coolant is not circulating to the heater when you start the engine to warm it up. Here is what you have to do:

Check the coolant level to see whether it is sufficient so that it can reach the heater core. If the radiator does not have enough coolant it won't send out any to the heater.

Thermostat

But if that's not the issue and the levels are okay then check whether your Ford has a bad water pump or whether it has a thermostat that is not opening. If for some reason your car has not been over heating either then clearly there is a problem with the thermostat. This usually happens when a thermostat is stuck in the closed position. This is what is probably obstructing the coolant. You can fix this yourself by taking out the lower radiator hose and inserting a new thermostat.

Car Seat Installation and Safety Tips for the 2015 Ford F-150

Thu, 5 Nov 2015 20:24:00 EST

Ford F-150

AAP has recommended on its safety guide that passengers who ride in a pickup truck like the 2015 Ford F-150 should turn off air bags if they have kids who are riding in the front seat. There is a switch in Ford that will easily turn it off, for this very reason. The second thing that is recommended is that you push the car seat as far back as you can to protect the child.

You cannot keep your child from riding in the pickup that you frequently use therefore it is important that you prioritize the safety of your child. Here are some tips that you can apply today on your Ford F150.

First Things First: Installing the Seat

Unlike so many users it is important that you go through the entire manual of the car seat that you bought. These are different for every one that you buy so do not think that if you have read one you have read them all. Some of the standard things in the manual are about how you should install using the lower anchors to fix the seat in place. However go back to the manual and double check the correct way to lock the straps because this part is definitely different in car seats.
If you have invested in a rear facing seat for your child, the most important thing with this kind of car seat is that you install it at the right recline angle. Most of the seats available in the market have angle indicators and adjustors that can help you through this. Use them!
Make sure that the car seat is secured tightly; give it a nudge. Also it should not move in any direction in your 2015 Ford more than one inch.
If you bought a forward facing seat with a tether strap, you need to connect hat to the tether anchor and then continue to tighten it up. The reason that this step should not be skipped is because this is what limits the toddlers front head movement in case of a crash.

Fitting the Child in the Seat

Both the rear and front facing seats have their own way of harnessing the kid in the car seat. For the rear facing seat, you need to check that the harness strap are lying flat, also they go through the slot that is situated below the shoulders of the child. In the Forward facing seats you will have to check that the flat straps are slotted through the areas above the shoulders of the child.
Make sure that you buckle the clip on the chest before you start tightening the harness. You will know that it is snug enough when you cannot pinch through anything between that and the child.
The clip on the chest must always be at armpit level.

If you happen to be near Adams, Watertown or Syracuse you can check out the latest Ford pickup trucks at Fuccillo Ford.

How to Improve Fuel Economy in the Cold Weather with Your 2015 Ford Focus

Mon, 2 Nov 2015 20:23:00 EST

Ford Focus

The 2015 Ford Focus comes with decent mileage and fuel economy; however, things are different once the weather takes a turn. Many fuel economy tests portray findings that show vehicle's mileage is around 12% less in 20 degrees Fahrenheit than what it is driving at 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The test also showed that this effect is enhanced if you are driving a hybrid. The figures shoot up to 31-34%.

What Winter Does

Most people are not aware how the cold weather affects their 2015 Ford Focus. Here is what it does:
The engine takes a lot longer to warm back to its fuel efficient temperature. This way if you are in a habit to take shorter and frequent trips you just may not benefit from fuel economy at all.
In winters you need to idle the car to warm it up which sips up 0 miles on a gallon.
The truth is that the car battery does not work as well as it does all year round, this stresses out your alternator on keeping the battery charged. This can also affect your performance.
Sometimes the winter grade gasoline has less energy than the blends you are supplied through the rest of the year.
The tire pressure goes down in colder temperatures which in turn lead to higher rolling resistance.
When driving in the cold the aerodynamics drags on your vehicle because cold air is a lot denser.
The heated seats, defrosters on the windows and the heater fan take up extra power which would have otherwise go into making fuel usage more efficient.
The transmission and engine friction shoots up during cold temperatures because of drive line liquids and the engine oil.

How to Work On Fuel Economy

Do not turn on the defrosters and the seat heaters if you think you are okay without them in the cozy car.
Minimize the time you take to idle your car. Ford would recommend that you start driving off slowly after the first 30 seconds. The engine will continue to warm up faster once the car is being driven. This decreases your fuel costs, cuts on emissions and assists the engine to warm up faster.
Try and park your Ford Focus in a warmer place like the garage. This way the initial temperature of your car is not that low when you start it in the morning.
Check the tire pressure of the Ford every morning before you start driving it.
If you have accessories installed on your Ford Focus that increase wind resistance you might want to take them off just till the winter ends. For example the roof racks.
Change the oil, just for the season. Use the ones that are recommended in the manufacturer's manual for the colder season.

And there you have it; you can easily improve your fuel economy with these tips on your 2015 Ford Focus. If you are near Adams, Watertown or Syracuse check out this car at Fuccillo Ford Adams.

The flat back theme included is designed to take inspiration from the custom truck enthusiasts and it doesn't disappoint. Ford F150's exterior looks almost like a Ram. The grilles are huge and tall and give the overall truck appearance plus the Macho factor.

The inside of the Ford F-150 can give you the impression of a luxury car. With upright dashes and well coordinated material, the interior has a certain business feel to the car. The look can at times be seen as restrained but that is what makes it look well done.

Safety

Safety has always been a concern especially in larger vehicles and the Ford F-150 is certainly a large vehicle. Ford has laden its number one truck with safety features that are ample and as good as they get anywhere. It includes the standard features like side curtain airbags, antilock brakes and electronic stability control. Ford F-150 also has Roll Stability controls as well as Trailer sway control. This control can control both the engine and brakes to keep the car smoothly running and stable. An added feature that Ford has used for the first time is the Hill descent control that gives the car safe descents down slopes that are slippery.

Performance

The Ford is a truck but it gives you the ease of driving a car. With electric power steering, Ford gives its F-150 a light driving feel, with effective handling and easy maneuvering. The engine is fuel efficient and the drive is a lot smarter. The ride quality is up to the mark with a few jitters only in the 4x mode.

With an abundance of features that relate to every type of truck buyer, Ford F-150 is definitely worth buying. I would never have bought it and known how good a truck this is if I hadn't visited the guys at Fuccillo Ford Adams NY. I recommend you visit them for the best car deals in town.

It's a car that standouts from all the other fuel efficient and sensibly sized cars because it has a little bit personality about it.

They gave me the best car for the best deal.

Let's focus a little in detail on the Ford Focus and see how it is in different aspects.

Performance

The ride and handling of the Ford Focus is the best in this category. It has suspensions that are adept at moving over rough transition and don't give the crash and bang effect anytime during the drive. Ford Focus is also equipped with an electrical power steering making the ride as smooth and easy to maneuver as any. The brakes of the sedan aren't bad either. They are effective and efficient despite Ford having used rear drums instead of discs in my SE model.

Comfort

The seating in the Ford focus is comfortable and offers good ride to passengers. The back seat accommodation can easily fit people over 6 feet with enough leg room and head room in both the back and the front seats. The inside of the car is laced with leather upholstery and its finishing is just at oar with any high quality German manufactured luxury car. Ford Focus has cargo holds that are spacious and can easily hold ample cargo. The seat folding is a little troublesome but all in all it's a comfortable car.

Ford F-150

Vehicles like the 2015 Ford F-150 have kept Ford going strong for such a long time. They are the reason behind Ford's success as a truck and high performance vehicle manufacturer. The market for pickup trucks has started to heat up with lots of heavy competition flowing into the market and yet Ford continues to stand tall in the market by producing models like the Ford f-150 year after year.

The 2015 Ford F-150 is the leading vehicle in the pickup truck category and it is no surprise considering the high performance it delivers. Pickup trucks are not in demand for the same use as the ordinary sedans. When it comes to pickup trucks, buyers look for trucks that give them high performance, high end quality, and immense torque and power. While the 2012 Ford F -150 model was not bad either, it's 2015 year's model that truly stamps its mark on the market.

This pickup truck is every bit as muscular, spectacular, and popular as a pickup truck can be. Here is a low down on the different aspects of the trucks that make it tick.

High on Safety

When it comes to powerful, high performance vehicles such as pickup trucks, the safety of the passenger and the driver needs to be kept as the number one priority. Being the most successful company in this category, it is no surprise to see Ford showing its commitment to safety by installing top-of-the-line safety features in the 2015 model.

The list of safety features present in this vehicle are exhaustive with traction and stability controls, front, side and full length impact curtain air bags, antilock disc brakes, and trailer sway control. The Ford F-150 takes this up another level by offering its customers the chance to avail 360-degree multi view cameras in their F-150.

Fresh and aggressive looking exterior

With the growing number of pickup trucks in the market, the interior of these trucks is changing to the point where some manufacturers are losing the masculine aspect of these powerful vehicles. The sense, exterior, and feel of a pickup truck have to be macho, and this applies even to the interior design of the car. This is something that Ford has identified and the 2015 model of F-150 sports a nice fresh look on the inside with the interior being neat, settled, and compact without giving too much of its brashness away.

With the Ford F-150, the company definitely raised the bar, and made sure of the fact that with features and performance like these, it is no surprise that it is head and shoulders above the competition in the market.

The 2015 Ford F-150 is one of the best pickup trucks around. If you are interested in buying this stunning vehicle then visit Fuccillo Ford Adams in Adams for a test drive. Additionally, you can take a look at the wide array of new and used cars that Fuccillo Ford Adams offers.

How to Avoid Car Problems in the Adams, New York Winters

Sun, 28 Sep 2014 13:54:00 EST

Ford Expedition

Winter season is round the corner and everybody is getting ready for the chills. People living in the coldest countries have geared up with all the necessary clothing and food to make sure their winters pass by smoothly. The only thing that most of the people forget is to worry about their cars. Cars are not as tough as they might seem, and especially in winters, when the weather is chilling cold, the cars often stop working or they just won't start.

So, have you ever wondered why your car did not start one fine freezing winter morning? Let's tell you why.

Your Car Batteries are Jammed

Just the way moisture freezes in winters, your car batteries get frozen too. In cold weather, car batteries often fail to work. Car batteries need heat to start up, and when your car batteries are cold, they produce less energy, hence, failing to start up. This is one of the reasons why your car wouldn't start in winters.

Slow Evaporation of Gasoline

Gasoline needs heat to burn up and evaporate. Gasoline is essential for your car to start, and if the weather is cold and the gasoline will not have enough temperature to heat up, then your car will not start. You can make gasoline evaporate at a faster rate by spraying ether into your car's engine.

Oil is Thickened

Cold weather makes the oil thick, which is why your car has trouble starting up. When you start your engine in winters, the engine throws cold oil, making it hard for the engine to get the kick. Engine needs the right temperature and liquidity of the oil to start working. Make sure you use synthetic motor oils if you live in a cold place because these oils do not get thick in winters and maintain their form.

If you live in a cold country then make sure you are equipped with the right knowledge and tools to help your car work properly. Make sure you know how your car acts in different weathers to avoid any problems. You can get help from professionals at Fuccillo Ford located in NY, Watertown, Adams and Syracuse. Visit their site, www.billyfuccilloford.com, and find out more about car maintenance and get your car's service done at reasonable prices. You can also check out used Ford and get a car in perfect condition at amazing rates.

Hey Syracuse, Is it Time to Get Your Ford Car or Truck Brakes Replaced or Fixed?

Wed, 24 Sep 2014 18:17:00 EST

Ford Vehicle Brake Replacements

Many people spend thousands of dollars on modifying their cars, but they do not give as much importance to the most important part: the brakes. Brakes of a car keep you safe from accidents. It is extremely essential that you keep them in check to avoid any mishap. There are certain reasons which hinder brake performance of your Ford vehicles and many of us don't know about them. Let's find out the right time to check your brakes.

Warped Rotors

If you are on a mountain or a difficult route where you have to apply brakes over and over again, then this will cause your rotors to change shape. This happens because of the constant application of energy which makes the metal on the rotors to change shape. Uneven shape results in vibration on the paddles and this simply means you need to get your brakes checked.

Shabby Pads

If you haven't changed your car in a long time then your car's brake pads might feel uneven and won't stop in the right time. This is because using brake pads for a long time can ruin their shape. This leads to an uneven push, hence you face a delay in getting the car to rest. If you face such problem, then check your brake pads. They should be quarter of an inch thick to be working perfectly fine.

Damaged Rotors

Often when your car's brakes are not working properly, they make a high-pitched sound. This is an alarm from your car telling you that your brakes need to be changed or serviced. If you keep ignoring the sounds then there is a great chance that you will damage the rotors. In this situation, the metal calipers grind against the metal rotors, making the rotors damaged. Getting your rotors repaired is going to cost you a lot, which is why it is suggested that you never ignore the alarm from your brakes.

Soft Paddle

Your paddle gets soft when your brake paddles are damaged or there is fluid or air leak in the system. You need to get your car checked and change the brake fluid before it causes any damage.

Car brakes need to be in good condition so that you can avoid accidents and a high maintenance cost. You can get your new and / or used Ford brakes checked by professionals at Fuccillo Ford. If you want to see other service packages offered by them, then you can visit www.billyfuccilloford.com.

Ford Truck Safety During Upstate New York Winters

The most car accidents occur in winters, and the main reason for it is that most of the people don't know about simple tips to keep their cars safe. If you lack knowledge about the effects of different weathers on your car, then you will put yourself and other drivers at risk. To make sure your Ford truck is ready to be driven in winters, you need to know some basic tips for everyone's safety.

Lights. The weather is foggy and dark in winters, which is why it is important for your car lights to be working perfectly. Just before winters, make sure that you check the light bulbs and the clarity of the glass. If there is any interruption or the bulbs are not working well then you might end up hitting someone on the road.
Windshield Wiper Fluid. In snow storms, the thing that will help you the most will be your car's windshield wipers. Even in moist or foggy conditions, you will need to use windshield wipers regularly. That is why it is important for you to check your car's windshield fluid regularly in winters. If it has frozen, then make sure you buy the fluid that does not freeze in cold weather.
Tires. You car needs to run on rough roads and hard conditions during winters. That is why it is important for you to check your car tires regularly. If the tread on your tires is damaged then replace the tires to avoid any accident. The best thing is to buy new tires for your car that are made to work in harsh snow or winter conditions.
Wiper Blades. It is common in winters for thick snow to pile up on your car or its windshield. You often park outside, and when you return, you find your car under snow. This is when you need to keep wiper blades to cut through snow.
Windshield Washer. The nozzles of your windshield can easily be suffocated by debris, dirt or snow. Keep the nozzles of your windshield washer absolutely clean so that you can wash your windscreen without any trouble.

Winters can cause a lot of problems for you and your car. It is best to get your car serviced from Fuccillo Ford located in Adams, New York. You can visit their site @ www.billyfuccilloford.com to know more about used Ford cars and car service.

A Used Ford F-150 Truck: The Best Birthday Present an Upstate New York Guy Could Receive!

Wed, 24 Sep 2014 17:51:00 EST

Used Ford F-150 Truck

These blog posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories.

Every boy dreams of having his own car, and I"m just like every other guy. I"m Sean, and I have recently moved out of my parent's house. I"m the only child, so there is no doubt that I"m pampered and spoiled. My parents have always provided me with luxury and granted every wish that I had. One of the things that topped my wish list was to get my dream car, preferably a truck.

It was the summers of 2011; I had graduated from high school and was ready to move out to my new place to start college. I had never lived alone in my entire life and I was very fond of my parents. I couldn't ask more of God, for gifting me with such loving people. My parents wanted me to stay but I had to move out and establish myself as an independent being. My apartment was a luxurious one and I would admit that it is all because of my parents who invested so much in it.

When I was on a summers break, waiting for my college to start, my parents made an unexpected visit to my NY apartment. They told me that they wanted to spend a day with me before I get too busy in my studies and life. I was happy that they came and I started planning the entire day so that they could enjoy their time with me.

As evening approached, we were all set to leave for dinner in a fancy hotel because that's what my parents love. Just as I stepped out of my home, I saw a shiny, black Used Ford F-150 parked outside the front porch of my apartment. I called up my dad and told him that this car seems in perfect shape and told him how much I love this truck. My mum stepped outside and stood behind my dad and my dad had a smirk on his face. Just as I was about to ask the reason behind his mysterious smile, he said those words out loud. ""It is your present from me and your mom.""

My jaw dropped in utter shock and I had nothing else in mind but to hug my parents tightly. They gifted me with my dream truck, the Ford F-150 which they had bought from Fuccillo Ford in Adams, NY. I had never been happier in my life, and it is all thanks to my parents and to Fuccillo, for the perfect truck.

These blog posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories.

I"m a car lover and I"m fond of Ford cars. Their cars have something about them that attracts me every time I see them. I tried loving other companies as well, but ended up falling deeper in love with Ford. Ford is undoubtedly my favorite car brand and I wish to own a 2015 Ford Mustang soon.

The 2015 Ford Mustang has launched with a bang. I loved the earlier models of Mustang and thought that there is nothing left to be changed in it. Guess I was wrong, because the 2015 Mustang has launched with many more features and modifications. I"m attracted to it more than I was ever before.

The new ford has a much more curvy and beautiful body. Its long lower hood makes it look prettier and makes me fall in love over and over again. The exterior body of the Mustang has a furious look that a guy like me would love to roam around in. This short heighted and wider body appeals to me more. I have no reason left to switch to any other brand.

The improved and fully loaded new cockpit of the 2015 Ford Mustang is out of the world. The leather fittings and the fine materials used in the cockpit are ultra luxurious, something that I would like to drive to major events and parties. The interior is sporty and perfect for adventurous guys like me. The aluminum used inside the cabin makes the car look superior and gives it a corporate feel.

The new Ford Mustang has improved in a lot of ways, the most attractive feature being its new looks. I love the way this car looks so athletic. I"m dying to get my hands on this new 2015 Ford Mustang. Not only the looks but the new Ford Mustang comes with better suspension and an improved engine.

I"m anxiously waiting to get an amazing deal for this car and if I have to, I would wait for a beauty of this caliber. I"ve heard a lot about Fuccillo Ford from my friends that have bought Ford cars at great deals from its Adams, NY showroom. I have already visited their site, www.billyfuccilloford.com, several times to get updates on the latest Ford models. I hope to own the 2015 Ford Mustang as soon as possible.

How to Keep your Used Ford F-150 Cool in Syracuse, Adams and Rochester, NY

Wed, 24 Sep 2014 15:42:00 EST

Used Ford F-150

Over heating your Ford Truck is easy but the real fatigue kicks in when your engine stops on a busy highway. That is when you realize that knowing your truck's cooling system is very essential. Especially in summer days, it is more likely that your truck is going to heat up. Make sure you know the ways to keep your truck's engine cool to avoid any hassle.

Read on to find out what preventative measures you need to take to avoid heating up your Used Ford F-150.

The Temperature Gauge. Just like you keep checking your speedometer, it is important that you check you temperature gauge on a regular basis, especially when your truck has an overheating problem. If you have a faulty truck, then get a used Ford F-150 from Fuccillo Ford. When you have a truck that is in perfect shape, make sure you keep a check on its temperature. Check the temperature after you have driven a long mile. That is when you'll know if your truck is heating or its cooling system is in perfect shape. If the reading on your temperature gauge rises normally, then make sure you get your cooling system in check.
Keep Belts and Hoses in Check. Truck owners usually assume that their vehicle is strong, huge and powerful, and it will not have minor problems. This type of thinking is wrong because at the end of the day, trucks are also vehicles made of the same materials as others. Make sure you keep a regular check on the hoses and the belts because they are made of rubber, and can break or get damaged any time. When a worn out belt keeps pushing to its limit, it raises the temperature under the engine; in return, the overall temperature of the engine increases. This little problem can create a huge problem for you later. That is why it is suggested that you keep a regular check on your truck and go for maintenance regularly.
Coolant & Water Together. As your truck's engine needs water, in the same way it needs an efficient coolant. A mixture of water and coolant is the perfect combination to keep your truck from overheating. Keep water percentage 60% and your coolant's 40%, and your engine will be good to go.

There are many other tips that help you keep your Ford F-150 from overheating. You can find the best trucks in perfect shape at Fuccillo Ford located in Adams, NY. You can also visit www.billyfuccilloford.com.

Ford Fusion: The Safest Pick for all Singles and Families alike

Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:31:00 EST

Ford Fusion

It is extremely rare to come across a car that embodies the best of both designing innovations and a family-friendly makeshift. While many have noted Mazda 6's yearly upgrades and design improvements, as expected in mid-size sedans, very few know about a closely-competing American brand making waves with its new vehicle: the Ford Fusion.

Handsome and athletic in appearance, with an aerodynamic design, combined with high-tech gadgetry and improved fuel efficiency; Ford Fusion really packs up a muscle- as is evident from its safety rankings. For 2013, Ford Fusion was ranked as the best car to buy. 2014 and 2015 saw further improvements in appearance, performance and efficiency that are likely to propel Ford Fusion as the Best Pick for the upcoming year.

Appearances are NOT Deceptive

The first thing that strikes you, when it comes to Ford Fusion, is its grand appearance. It is, undoubtedly, one of the most attractive mid-size sedans in the U.S. and lives up to its title, in terms of performance as well.

The optional Terra Cotta package is now offered on all Titanium models. This adds rich, reddish leather to the door panels, premium floor mats and the seats. It also comes with 18-inch wheels. Inside, the MyFord Touch System gives tablet-like controls of the entire vehicle, which is easy to operate with center-slack controls. LCD screen adds more to its beauty.

On the frontal side, a hexagon grill is placed between the headlamps and the fog lamps, giving it the look of an Aston-Hyundai hybrid. From the rear quarters, a roofline similar to that of Audi A7 appears, but the side look clearly confirms pure American technology at work.

Fluid and Smoothest Performance

Ford Fusion retains its title as the best-driving car for the third consecutive year in 2015, thanks to its cutting-edge technology and fluid controls. With multi-link suspensions and front struts, Fusion is composed and firm and provides the best road grip. Despite having a weight exceeding 3700 pounds and Titanium finish, the well-tuned steering wheel offers an absorbent feel- with impressive turning diameter, rapid acceleration and a large torque.

2015 model offers a V-6 engine with 2.0-liter EcoBoost features. This provides 240-horsepower. It makes it easy to control and steer and gives fluid and frictionless transmissions. The car is as quiet and vibration-free as possible- providing the ultimate highway or in-city driving experience. Fuel efficiencies of up to 34 mpg on highway and 26 mpg in-city, with a six-speed automatic, do not disappoint either.

More, more and more Features

2015 Ford Fusion provides a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Base-S models offer 16-inch alloy wheels and a reverse camera. SE and Titanium models come with a heated steering wheel and cooled front seats. Parking sensors, aluminum interior trim, automatic climate control, HD ratio, remote start, navigation and safety-tech options, moonroof and satellite radio are some of the many new features Ford Fusion offers.

Eight standard airbags, active headrests, dual front knee airbags, hands-free calling and audio streaming interface are some of the many features that make Ford Fusion the safest pick for all singles and families alike. Five-star ratings in all IIHS crash-tests add more to its credibility as a safe vehicle.

Adams, NY, This is Why the Ford Edge is the Perfect Car for Her

Wed, 27 Aug 2014 18:21:00 EST

Ford Edge

These blog posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories.

She may go on to be impressed by the later models. She may want to switch it for another. Don't these �what-ifs just fill our mind when we are searching for a perfect gift for our girls? And I really did want my gift to be the most special, that could make her feel just the right sort of spoiled.

But that was before I went over the used Ford Edge and found the perfect solution waiting for me. And even as I had second thoughts for buying a used car (even though it was a well maintained car), I give it a go because it had every touch to make it desirable.

For one, it had this sporty look on the outside. It was a sedan with style. The size itself was an additional advantage because it meant more room and, therefore, increased utility. The imagination that comes across this design is not just another vehicle in the crowd. The modern look with the bold and bright three-bar chrome grille was the �edge it needed for a complete distinctive finish.

From the perspective of driving dynamics, of course I gave it a go before buying it out. I"d say that if a man who had been driving a sedan for the most part of his life like me can find it owing almost a similar level of comfort and convenience, you will be sure to fall in love with this too. Getting in and out from both the back and front seats is easier as is its fully foldable seats ideal for drivers to have space for carrying cargo in there.

It's tall, wide and heavy. But the manufacturer's have made sure that's not a problem for the drivers. The long wheelbase and high chassis rigidity makes sure it has a good ride quality. The way anti-roll bars, a mounted front struts, and a multilink rear smoothes a rough roadway is amazing. It can anticipate traction loss and, subsequently, shift the torque towards the rear side as per the requirements. Moreover, the power steering along with its engine layout was a gift to deliver accuracy. Packed with goodies including the famous �big-ass moon roof and the Audiophile sound system, it was beyond satisfying.

Guess what? Her reaction was priceless.

Pampering Your Ford Escape SUV in Adams

Wed, 27 Aug 2014 18:21:00 EST

Ford Escape

How would you like it if people around you stopped caring for you anymore? Doesn't that count in your basic survival? Do you believe your baby car to be any different then? The shape that your car is in reflects your love for the car.

Keeping the Inside Clean

Many contaminants can damage your used Ford Escape‘s interior. From the salt, dirt, and stones your feet would be bringing in to the crumbs that can fall off unnoticed from the last fast food item you grabbed and finished in your car because you were running late. If you happen to smoke that could be a problem for your car then. It is your duty to keep it clean, neat, and tidy.

Look in there and use a vacuum to get your hands on any and every rubbish off the fabric upholstery, from the fabric, under the seats, mats, and the narrow gaps in there. This won't take the marks though so fill up a bucket with soapy water and get working to scrub them hard. The leather surfaces as well as the non-glass surfaces such as steering wheel and dashboard can be cleaned with a damp towel. The glass, on the other hand, needs your proper attention to use a non-ammonia cleaner and a polish to create that shine again.

A New Car Body

Doesn't arriving somewhere with a dirty, disheveled appearance count as a sign of disrespect in most cultures? Hygiene is after all more than just good looks. There is grooming involved too.

The more you drive, the more you are exposing your car to the pollutants in air and on road. Note how frequently you are washing your car already. If it's not doing the job effectively, make the intervals shorter than they are now. This step will prolong the life of the car also.

It is important that you follow the manufacturer's instructions on the car wash shampoo. Make sure you keep the car in a shady spot as you wash its body because the faster the water evaporates the more spots it will leave. Begin the process by removing the dirt from the wheels and rubber tires. Since they are more prone to being affected by brake dust and at risk from the road surface, they need extra protection to survive. Finally, follow a thorough wash with wax and polish for an ideal cover for a long time.

Your cars deserve to be treated the best you can afford for them, both in time and in care. We like to do so too as the 2013 Ford Escape SE SUV would guarantee at the Fuccillo Ford's showrooms in Watertown, Adams, and Syracuse.

Syracuse, What do the Warning Lights of the Used Ford F-150 Represent?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014 19:07:00 EST

Used Ford F-150

Drivers, do you know what the warning lights in the dashboard of your used Ford F-150 represent? You probably encountered them when you took your driver's test. In case you are unaware of their function, warning lights turn on when the car indicates that there is something wrong with it.

Experienced drivers, those driving for a long time, probably told you that not all warning lights need attention. However, there are warning lights that you need to investigate a little more. Here is a list of warning lights that you need to address promptly, if they turn on:

1. Brake System Alert

If your 2013 Ford F-150's brake system light turns on, the problem, you guessed it, is with your brakes. More precisely, the light indicates that either your brakes are leaking fluids or the level of brake fluid is low. In addition, the light also signals that your car is having an ABS issue, which means that you shouldn't wait for the issue to get worse. Immediately take your vehicle to the nearest mechanic in your area.

2. Front Airbag

Airbags, during a head on collision, have saved numerous lives by preventing the driver from crashing out of the windshield or hitting their head on the steering wheel. If warning lights for airbags turn on, you cannot delay the situation. You need to take your 2013 Ford F-150 to a mechanic to fix the problem instantly.

3. Powertrain Malfunction

Just as your heart is your life source, the engine is the same for the car. If this light illuminates, it indicates that you may need to shut the engine down. Waiting for your engine to dramatically stop in the middle of traffic is a scenario most people prefer not to go through. Instead of taking chances with your engine, why not take the car to a repair shop.

4. ESP/BAS Light

The illumination of this light informs the driver that it detects a fault in the Electronic Stability Program. Failure to fix this problem can result in accidents. It is preferable that you have this problem solved to keep yourself and others drivers safe on the roads.

Rochester, How Can You tell if the Mechanic has Performed Repairs on the Ford Fiesta Sedan?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014 19:07:00 EST

Ford Fiesta

Differentiating between good mechanics from the bad ones is not an easy job. But neither can you head over to just any car repair shop without knowing anything about the reliability of the mechanic. Sometimes, even after copious research, you may end up at the doorstep of a bad mechanic posing as a good one.

When you get your Ford Fiesta Sedan back, it may look like that the mechanic didn't perform any repairs. Your money went down the drain. Look for these signs of repairs made when you get your vehicle back from the mechanic:

1. Never Throw Away Your Old Car Parts

Tell the mechanic that you want your old parts back and you do not want them to be discarded. In doing so, you will be able to have a peace of mind and can exactly see what parts were replaced.

2. Mark the Spots that Need to be Changed

When you take your 2014 Ford Fiesta SE Sedan to the repair shop, you need to mark the spots that need to be serviced or replaced. Take a chalk to mark them. If the marked spots are still there after you get you get your car back, the mechanic didn't perform his/her job well.

3. Pop Open the Hood after the Car's Been Serviced

After you get your car back, it is vital that you inspect it yourself. If, for instance, the battery needed to be replaced, look under the hood to tell if the repair shop did what they were supposed to do. Examine the battery terminals to make certain that they are not dirty. If you happen to see rust on the battery, the mechanic may have duped you into paying for a new battery that was never put in place.

4. Drive the Car

If you had given your vehicle to the mechanic to fix the wheel alignment, test-drive the vehicle immediately. Drive the car on the highway at high speeds to see if the problem of a bad wheel alignment persists. If it does exist, head back to the repair shop.

Fort Drum, This is What Your Used Ford Taurus Needs to Keep Her Running Forever

Tue, 26 Aug 2014 19:06:00 EST

Used Ford Taurus

Even if you are not one of those cost-conscious people who would be delighted to trick their car engines than to invest in a new one, you need to be attentive too in knowing what makes them tick for a long time.

Be Alert

Use the five senses. Check and see in and around the car before sliding in. Maybe there is a fluid leak or the brake lights are not working. Keep an ear out to catch any unwanted sounds. These can be anything from knocking to bump, tick, or squeaks. Track them down nasty smells that can be a bad sign as well.

Maintain Your Car

No, you cannot skip this, as most people are likely to tell you. Without regular service, it would be a surprise if your Ford Taurus were able to make it to the 100,000 miles mark. Follow the specifications of the schedule that your owner's manual would suggest.

Refrain Yourself from Short Trips

If your destination is closer and doesn't necessarily has to be driven to, then it's best if to avoid doing that altogether or take a longer route to reach there. This way you allow your engine to reach its operating temperature every time it runs and not to let the water from engine combustion combine with the car's oil to form a harmful sludge for your motor.

The distance can be determined by your driving style and by temperature. On an average, in normal temperatures that would be less than five miles whereas for freezing temperatures this would amount to less than ten miles.

Change the Fluids

The car maintenance schedule that we talked about earlier usually also mentions for the owner to have the transmission fluid changed or filtered. Don't panic if they don't mention it thought since that implies automatically that you should be checking up on it at intervals or replacing it by the 100,000 miles. If you like, you can do it earlier. Remember never to �flush the transmission fluid before having the filter replaced.

Consider using semi-synthetic, synthetic, or high mileage oil since they will lubricate your engine better. The brake fluid should be changed before their due dates too or risk having rusty components once the protection is over.

We ensure that the used car deals we offer are in the best condition. See them for yourselves at Fuccillo Ford's located in Watertown, Adams, and Syracuse.

Crazy, Brilliant Hacks to Keep Your Used Ford Focus Clean in Adams, NY

Tue, 26 Aug 2014 19:06:00 EST

Used Ford Focus

It's practically impossible to keep water bottles, gum wrappers or a late-night fast food out of your otherwise clean Ford Focus. Nothing works when you are trying to avoid it. Somehow, they always find their way in and stay like that for a longer period.

However, this post isn't about lamenting and eventually having you to waste precious couple of bucks over a car wash. It's about newer tricks you could add in WITHOUT having to change your lifestyle considerably.

Knock those Shoes

Believe me, that's just about the easiest thing you can do to try not to have the mud or snow joining you in your car. Sit down on the seat with the legs still outside. Knock your boots hard before you swivel and pull them in.

Have It Rest At Garage

While you are safely stashed up inside, your car has already suffered the dirt as you wear it down to and from work and home. But that's the dusty part only. Most cars that come in for cleaning or detailing have much more of the Nature's blessings. The most you can try to save your beloved car is by finding some sort of an enclosed area to protect it from birds that would be resting right above them and the weather that would be beating down on them otherwise.

Improvise on Your Garbage Can

If you drive a lot, have children, or are simply too lazy to remove the trash and napkins that have accumulated at the end of the day, keep in a central, sealed container to discard them. There are canisters available with lids that can be easily removed and replaced. By this means, the cracks around your seats and beneath them can breathe a sigh of relief as well.

It's Not All about Giving

One of the basic excuses that people come up with for not cleaning their car is that they don't have the time to wash it, or more specially, clean it. Well you don't have to be a wiz to know that a small practice in your schedule can be effective as long as you keep doing it. Every time you are waiting in a long line of traffic whether it's at gas station or to find a parking, pull out all the trash that you have stocked up in those cubbyholes. Every time you stop, take out anything that you don't need in there. It doesn't belong.

We value our customers and like to make a difference in their quality of life. For car deals or services, you can us at the Fuccillo Ford stores at Watertown, Adams, and Syracuse.

Ford Focus: Attractive, Efficient, Eco-friendly and Fun!

Mon, 24 Aug 2015 15:29:00 EST

Ford Focus

One look at the 2015 Ford Focus and you'll understand why Ford Motors is the Pioneer of automobile engineering. It also explains why the sales of Ford sedans, SUVS and pickups are on the rise in Adams, Watertown and Syracuse.

Agile Handling

For those who value a crisp steering response, Ford Focus is the go-to car.

Almost all of the Focus models are powered by 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, with varying valve timings and direct injection. This gives it a good 160 horsepower and a torque exceeding 146 pound-feet.

When paired up with a six-speed PowerShift dual-clutch automatic transmission, Focus is nothing short of a pure joyride on the road. For efficiency-conscious buyers, Ford Focus with a 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine provides 1400 rpm, 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque.

Impressive Interiors and Exterior

The interior of any Focus model looks more like a European sports car, than a reasonably-priced American hatchback. New trims and upholstery upgrades make plenty of room for seating, offer great versatility and an appeal unlike any other car. The backseats are spacious in both hatchbacks and sedans and offer ample legroom to easily accommodate individuals over six feet tall.

Focus also makes some major improvements in powertrain refinement. This means that you can easily stop at a traffic signal without making any noise or thrash sounds.

Ford F-150: Much More than Just �another Truck

Wed, 19 Aug 2015 15:25:00 EST

Ford F-150

For over thirty years, Ford F-150 has dominated the automobile industry with its rugged looks, impressive interiors and high fuel efficiency. The pickup truck provides better tow ratings, bed size, crew capacity and payload ratings compared to all its counterparts. Whether it's a cross country drive, in-city cruising, carpooling, towing or street patrolling, nothing beats this American icon.

Jumping to the post 2010 scenario, Ford Motors has invested heavily in upgrading the vehicle and ironing out all design and performance kinks, while improving the average fuel consumption ratings. The 2013-2015 models have clearly surpassed all expectations. Offered at Fuccillo Ford Adams, both new and used, here's a look as to what sets this vehicle special:

No more Sloppy Upgrades

Compared to what we"ve seen previously, the newer models of Ford F-150 are fresh-looking. Taking a plunge at its rivals, the new models offer a lighter-weight aluminum body. The body and bed are made from riveted and glued aluminum panels, similar to those of Jaguar and Land Rover. The ladder frame is pure and high-strength steel, offering a buffer for long-term durability. No wonder why Ford-150 is ranked as the 2015 North American Truck of the Year.

Better Engine and Horsepower

Ford claims that switching to aluminum panels has helped shed the overall weight of F-150 by over 500 pounds. This paves way for a sleek design that allows a downsize engine fitting and an improvement in fuel economy by up to 20%.

The vehicle carries a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that delivers up to 385 horsepower. This enables it to deliver to top payload rating of 3300 pounds. 4×4 and 4×2 drive configurations are offered, along with a six-speed automatic transmission. Electric power steering gives it a smooth control that gives you more of a Sedan-like drive.

Unmatched Quality and Comfort

The spacious interior design is what truly sets F-150 apart from other brands. Between the front passenger seats, there is a wider and deeper center console with enough room to store a laptop! There are several additional spaces to keep your cell phone, coffee cups, drinks, pens, diaries and business cards.

Advanced infotainment functions provide leverage for both driver and passenger seat individuals, especially if they're wearing gloves. Multicontour seats can easily be controlled through a layer within the MyFord Touch interface.

Depending on the model and make, you can choose from three different bed lengths- ranging from 67 inches to 98 inches. The seats can easily be flipped against bed well and make way to load cargo easily on to the flat surface.

Limitless Features

With F-150, there are several features and combinations that can be added, depending upon the model purchased. The basic XL offers power mirrors, tailgate lock, auto headlights and cruise controls. Stand-alone features also include satellite radio, power rear window and rear parking sensors, 110-volt outlet, bed liner and telemetric options.

With its loading ramps, BoxLink features and LED headlamps and a reasonable price tag, the Ford F-150 is the most preferred choice for all first-time car buyers.

Ford Escape: the 8/10 Score in Everything

Thu, 13 Aug 2015 15:21:00 EST

Ford Escape

With a sleek design and a matching performance, combined with a comfortable interior and several high-tech features, the 2015 Ford Escape is light years ahead of all its competitors and gives rival brands a run for their money. It provides a firm and compliant ride for everyone and scores a perfect 8/10 on all performance, safety and appeal measures.

Like most of the modern SUV-Sedan crossovers today, 2015 Ford Escape comes across as a tall and sporty wagon. It has a rakish design and contemporary look to it that stands out from crossovers of other brands. When pitted against Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Tiguan and Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape is the clear winner with a crisp handling, stronger and more responsive powertrains and reasonably spacious passenger space.

Outlook and Overview

Two years ago, Ford Motors revamped its midsize crossovers by adding an element of style and finesse. This created a new range of affordable and stylish vehicles, we now know as Ford Escape. On the outside, this SUV dons a sporty look. With a longer nose, it looks like the perfect Sedan from the front. It's rear-end makes it look like a hatchback-on-steroids.

The outer body is laced with a Titanium fitting. This makes it easily distinguishable from its counterparts. 18-inch machined aluminum wheels, silver roof rails and grill radiator shutters give it a bold, unique and classy look. The instrument panel is uptight, chiseled, contoured and heavily styled making the overall crossover look large, yet compact.

Interior Comfort

The overall length of Ford Escape 2015 is approximately 178 inches. This is a few inches shorter than Honda CR-V. However, the wheelbase of Ford Escape is three inches bigger than Honda's and this gives a clear insight as to the inner legroom space.

Interior appointments are best in class and better than all other models within the same price range. The interior space is generous. Front seats are slim and firm. Flat cargo floor provides adequate cargo space and the rear seatback flips perfectly for one-motion folding. Leather seats are an add-on you simply can't miss out on!

On the Road

For its sheer size, Ford Focus offers an amazingly smooth drive. The base model offers a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter turbocharged models are also offered. For the best performance, the 240-horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost version is the best choice. This offers an acceleration of up to 60 mph in less than eight seconds.

Six-speed automatic transmission works just fine. The gear-shift is seamless and fluid. Turbo engines make up for a good balance between gas mileage and straight-line acceleration. Furthermore, the car does not offer any truck-like motions and vibrations. Pushing the highway average to over 35 mpg, Ford Focus offers the most responsive steering.

What's more?

Panoramic sunroof, navigation and sound system, push-start button, HD Radio, active park assist, hands-free liftgate, HID headlamps, blind-spot monitoring system, rain-sensing wipers and a complete towing package are some of the many additional features Ford Escape offers.

If you have a tight budget and want to save up on your fuel costs, visit Fucillo Ford Adams dealership in your area today and test-drive Ford Focus (all models and makes).

4 Major Benefits of Buying a Car with an Aluminum Body Frame

Thu, 6 Aug 2015 15:19:00 EST

With the production of 2015 Ford F-150, the legendary Detroit-based automobile manufacturer has witnessed an all-time rise in sales volume. Ergonomically designed fuel efficient and offering plenty of legroom, Ford F-150 makes a statement. But then again, Honda CR-V and several other cars have similar features. So what is it that truly sets Ford-150 apart from others?

The answer is its Aluminum Body. From the hood to the body panels and even the beds, Ford has replaced standard steel and used high-grade and lightweight aluminum for constructions. The use of steel is only limited to designing suspension and bracing.

If you're first-time car buyers, you may have heard about the wonders of Titanium. The metal has a much higher density and weight compared to aluminum. This makes the car exceptionally strong and keeps it safe from major damages in the event of an accident. However, all such stories are not entirely true.

Aluminum is far more rigid and durable than what we know. The aluminum used for constructing car bodies varies significantly from that used in making pop cans (that's one of the main reasons for such misconceptions). Here's a look at 4 of the greatest benefits a car with aluminum body (such as Ford F-150) offers:

Less Dings and Scratches

There is little one can do if a vandal scratches your car with a key. However, every time a shopping cart bumps into your aluminum-bodied car or any other object comes colliding with your car on a windy day, the aluminum panels offer higher resistance to dents, dings and divots compared to stainless steel. The lightweight aluminum is slightly brittle and able to withstand a shock without deforming. This means less dings and scratches for your car!

Improved Acceleration

Think about an athlete sprinting from the starting block as quickly as possible in a 200 meter dash race. It's a run for the prize and the athlete needs to be as physically fit and light on his/her feet as possible. Now imagine doing the same with an 800-pound boat anchor tied around your waist.

That's how aluminum body works as well. The use of lightweight metal takes away much of the bulkiness from the Ford F-150, allowing quick acceleration. It's no wonder why most of the Ford vehicles can easily accelerate from 0 to 60 mph within six seconds.

Easy Towing and Heavier Payloads

Since aluminum body reduces the weight of F-150, without the need to reduce engine size, it gives the car better towing abilities with the same amount of force. According to Ford Motors, a basic F-150 is capable of towing weights and hauling jumps up to 3300 pounds. Switching to a larger V-8 engine pushes the towing abilities to more than 12,000 lbs.

Improved Fuel Efficiency

Aluminum gives your car a sleek and aerodynamic design. This reduces the friction and resistance, provides a better road grip and improves the fuel efficiency. It normally takes less gasoline for a lighter car to move around town than a bulkier car. Keeping all other factors constant, you can expect in-city and highway averages of 27 and 31 mpg respectively for a car with an aluminum body.

5 Ways to Protect Ford Escape Interiors

Mon, 3 Aug 2015 15:16:00 EST

Ford Escape

Protecting a Ford Escape's interior is equally important as protecting the exterior. Although the later is damaged by blowing sand, rainwater, snow and road gravel, the interior is also susceptible to a number of factors. Scorching sun rays coming through the windows can fade the car seats, dry up the interior leather and crack the dashboard over a period of time.

Your car interior is also at mercy of the whims of your passengers. If someone decides to drop food or spill their coffee over your seats, you may have to put in some extra efforts to make the stain and smell go away. Since Ford Escape is a family car, you can expect the situation to get a whole lot worse if you're travelling with toddlers, kids or pets!

Here are five simple and smart ways to protect your Ford Escape interiors:

Buy a Windshield Protector

If you intend to park your Ford Escape outside for the whole day, you should consider parking in the shade. If all the spots are taken, it's best to invest in a windshield protector. This protects the sun rays from entering your car and damaging the interior, while keeping it cool. Despite its awkward shape, a windshield protector is easy to slide in and place over the dashboard. It also keeps the steering wheel cool and prevents the seat leather from fading.

Get Seat Covers

As a prudent and cautious Ford Escape owner, you need to install seat covers or any other protective cloth over your car seats to prevent any fading. The seat covers can easily be stretched on to the seat and the back. The seams on the cover match should match with your vehicle's seat to maintain the inner appeal. Velcro fitting can also be used to tie the seat covers and protect the inner leather.

Use Conditioner and Sealer

Leather conditioners and sealers are available for car owners who do not have seat covers. Conditioners prevent the leather seats from drying out and, later, cracking. They also preserve the seat color and prevent it from fading otherwise. A small amount of conditioner is to be applied to a clean cloth which is then rubbed gently over the leather seats. Steering wheel, front seat console and any other leather or plastic item within the car should also be polished with conditioners and/or sealants every now and then.

Get a Pet Blankets

If you have a Labrador, Rottweiler, Chihuahua or any other breed of dog, then buy and install a pet blanket every time you take your animal to the vet or on a road trip. These pet blankets have straps that can easily secure them over the seat and prevent it from scrunching up. It keeps your seats safe, every time your pet decides to sharpen its claws!

Clean Regularly

Sounds like a bit of a generalization, but most of the Ford Escape owners tend to focus more on exterior cleaning and pay no heed to interior cleanliness. Wipe away all spillages as quickly as possible. Keep a pack of moist towels and wet napkins in the glove compartment. Store a trash bag. Clean the seats after every trip. Don't forget to clean the floor mats with soapy water as well.

How to Jack Up Your Car in A Safe Manner

Mon, 27 Jul 2015 15:34:00 EST

One of the most obvious reasons to use a jack on a car is to change the tire, but there are a lot of other jobs that can be done with the help of a jack, such as inspecting the brakes of your car that requires the owner to get under it first.

Do you spend a lot of time taking care of the maintenance of your car? Following are some safety precautions that must be observed the next time you jack up your car, as told by the expert technicians at Fuccillo Ford Adams in Watertown.

A jack is used to get a car off the ground. Make sure you use it for this purpose only.
When you have to work underneath your car, take the help of jack stands.
Before jacking up your car, remember to first block the wheels so that they don't roll.
Never ever change a tire of your car on the highway or freeway.
Before jacking up your car, remember to always park it on level ground first.
Place the car in Park or First Gear and before you jack up the car, engage the parking brake.

After all the safety precautions have been observed and met, it's now time to jack up your car. You need to;

Place the Jack under the Car in Such a Position That It Makes Contact When Raised

Also place the jack stands near the car and jack if any are being used. Placing the jack under the car in the correct position is very important as if not in the correct position, this might harm your car. You will have to check the owner's manual of your car to see where the correct placement of the jack should be under the car. If no manual was provided to you, contact the service department of the dealership you bought the car from.

Make Sure the Jack Stands under the Vehicle Where It's Touching It

Then raised, the jack stands until such a height is achieved where the jack can be fitted just under the car. Lock the tool in place and lower the jack until your car is situated snugly on top of the jack stands. To make sure that the vehicle is placed securely on the jack stands, wiggle the car a bit. After the test is successful, remove the jack.

By wiggling the car, you will also come to find out whether the wheels have been blocked properly or not.

Replace the Jack and Remove the Stands When the Job Has Been Completed

You will only have to replace the jack and lower the vehicle back on the ground after you are done with the work. All you will have to do is turn the crank in the opposite direction, if you are using a scissor jack. In the case of a hydraulic jack, all you have to do is turn the pressure release valve on by using the rod.

While there is nothing wrong in attempting DIY maintenance, expert technicians at Fuccillo Ford Adams situated in Watertown recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic if the maintenance issue is too big to handle.

Next week, we plan on visiting Ashley's parents who live about 45 minutes from our place. The kids definitely seem excited about our long trip.

Whether You Buy a Ford Focus or a Ford Explorer, Ford is What You Should Opt For

Fri, 25 Jul 2014 19:19:00 EST

Ford Focus

So you have stepped into the auto world and are in search for a used car. There are so many choices in terms of makes and models, but which of these is going to be the best one? At Fuccillo Ford, we recommend a Ford car to everyone in Watertown and Syracuse, NY. It does not matter whether you are buying a new or a used model; Explorer, Focus, Fusion, or any other car; the year also does not matter, as long as it is a Ford, you will not be disappointed ever.

Here is why we love Ford vehicles, and why we suggest them to everyone.

Ford has been around since ages

We have seen Ford cars and seen them get to the top of the rankings for a long time now. Ford is a brand that was established decades ago. In all this time, it has built a reputation and developed a name for itself. Obviously, it achieved all this fame and glory because it does not compromise on quality, building cars that are not only designed sleekly, but also perform incredibly.

So when you buy a Ford car, there is a really good chance that it will be a vehicle which will not bother you much and require minimum maintenance, while putting up an optimal performance.

Ford is Green

Ford does not only care about its consumers, they also care about the environment. In their effort to be green, Ford launched the Fusion, which is a really great car. Ford also has incorporated the EcoBoost technology in several of their models, which ensures that your fuel is consumed in an efficient manner while your car drives just as smoothly. Not only does this help you save on fuel costs, you also contribute to a greener world.

Ford is Durable

A car may have a classy design and superb features, but if the car does not last a long time, there is no point in investing in it. With Ford, that is not so. The designs of their models are attractive, the features are splendid, and the durability is really impressive. Ford cars can last for years and years, and not require many efforts from you.

Follow These 6 Steps To "Winterize" Your Used Or New Car

Tue, 21 Jul 2015 15:32:00 EST

Ford Escape

The very last thing that you would need while driving along a lone highway in the cold and harsh winter weather, is a break down. This is why; putting your used or new Ford Escape through a vehicle check before the winter arrives, is a sensible idea; one that is reiterated by the experts at the Fuccillo Ford Adams car showroom located in Adams. As a driver, you have to take care of your car so that it doesn't inconvenience you during the harsh and unforgiving winters.

Furthermore, how long does the process of a vehicle check take anyway? An investment of an hour or two will ensure that your car is in perfect shape and is fully able to face the harsh weather, or if any problem does surface, you will have enough time to get it fixed well before the car provides a hassle or inconvenience.

Experts at Fuccillo Ford Adams provide drivers with the following tips and steps in order to make the car "winter-proof and friendly", so that you drive to your destination without any problem, all winter long.

Are You Due for a Tune-up?

It's highly recommended that you get the car tuned-up so before the winter season arrives. The reason for this is obvious. The arrival of winter will only magnify the problems that already exist in the car, such as sluggish performance, hard starts, pings, and/or rough idling.

Check the Battery Charging System

You should also have the battery and its charging system checked for optimum performance by the professionals while you are at it. Cold weather is especially hard on batteries, due to which, having them checked is a good idea.

Put New Antifreeze in the Cooling System

This should be done after every two years or so, as a general rule of thumb. Other methods of effectively winterizing your car is to clean and flush the cooling system as it will perform far better as compared to a car that doesn't go through this.

Make Sure Car Parts Are Working Properly

A vehicle check before the winters will let you know whether important car parts such as heaters, defrosters and wipers are working properly. Also, consider purchasing cold weather washer fluid as well as wiper blades that are especially for the winter season.

Check the Tread and Pressure of the Tires

This is very important, especially if your area gets a lot of snow and ice. In this respect, consider purchasing tires that are specially designed to have a strong grip on slick roads. In addition to this, tire pressure should be checked weekly during the winters.

Be Diligent When It Comes To Changing Oil and Filter

Experts at Fuccillo Ford Adams in Adams pay close attention to something as simple as changing the oil and filter of your car at recommended intervals. This is because dirty oil can give a world of trouble to car owners during the winter months.

All you have to do to make your car "winter ready" is to have it checked by a technician, so get it done as soon as the cold winds start blowing.

Negotiating a Great Deal on a Used Ford Escape

Mon, 21 Jul 2014 18:59:00 EST

Used Ford Escape

You have finally decided that you want a used Ford Escape. The car is perfect for you in every way; the test drive was a truly enjoyable experience and you pretty much love the interior. But there is one slight problem. Even though you are buying a used car, the price is slightly above your range, and you will really like to negotiate a deal on it. Want this to be in your favor? Act on the advice that we have below.

Conduct a thorough research

When you negotiate a deal, you have to appear knowledgeable. This will be only when you conduct an extensive market research about the car you are planning to buy.

Compare prices

This is not exactly part of negotiating the deal but it gives you a fairly good idea about the average prices in the market. The information you get from comparing prices of different dealers will make negotiation easier for you. Indeed, your chosen dealer may not be flexible and stick to only one price. You can try negotiating it, but if that does not work and the price is higher than the market, you can easily switch to another dealer.

Be confident

When you visit the dealership to negotiate a deal on your chosen car, act confidently. Though you may not have enough experience with it, the sales people do. Since they do this every day, they know exactly how to make sure that the conversation goes their way. But if you speak confidently and present yourself as a knowledgeable consumer, the scales will tip in your favor.

Never negotiate below the sticker price

While you should try negotiating, you should never do it at a price that is below the sticker price. No dealer will show an interest or bring down the price below it. So before you strike any conversation, look up the invoice price. There are many websites on the internet which will provide you information about this or you can ask the agent to show you the relevant documents.

If you want a used Ford Escape in excellent condition or any other car, you should get in touch with us. At Fuccillo Ford, serving the areas of Watertown and Syracuse, NY,we have a huge collection of both new and used cars, and offer really good prices on them. Get in touch with us now and buy your dream car without straining your budget.

Technologies Every Ford Car will Have in the Next Five Years

Sat, 19 Jul 2014 18:39:00 EST

Ford Technologies

Car technologies are developing rapidly and new and new features are being incorporated in the cars of today. All car brands such as the Ford are trying to produce vehicles that are better than before in every aspect. The race is not only about an exceptional performance, it is also about an appealing design, a luxurious interior and a safe drive. Many of Ford cars such as the Explorer and the Focus are already above par and loved by all their consumers. Some models such as the Fusion are also environment friendly, yet offering you a really smooth drive.

Considering the pace with which car technology is progressing, you can expect future cars to be better than today's model. How so? Let's take a look.

Warnings Galore

In the next five years, autonomous cars still will not be that common or available to the public. But what you will see in the cars of then will be a feature that will issue warnings as you drive on the road and accordingly, take necessary measures to reduce the risks. We are already seeing some of this in today's cars like the collision mitigation system, but a couple of years from now, these features will be more advanced.

Views in all Directions

We have already seen rearview cameras, but future cars will have cameras that will provide you a 360 degrees view. This will make both driving and parking easier than ever, because you will be notified of all approaching cars or other obstacles that are in your way.

Pedestrian Detection

A pedestrian detection system forces your car to stop in its tracks if there is a pedestrian in front of you. In some cars, this feature is available, but is pricey. In future, you will find this technology on several models and the costs also will not be high.

Vehicle to Vehicle Communication

The cars of 2020 will be able to communicate with each other and avoid accidents. Ford is already working on such a vehicle, which transmits your location to surrounding cars and also recognizes their locations. This technology will alert you when a car is about to break the signal or if a vehicle ahead stops short in its track.

Want a car that offers the best of today's auto features? If you belong to the areas of Watertown and Syracuse, NY, contact Fuccillo Ford today. We will help you in finding a car that is perfect in every way.

DIY Car Maintenance Can Save You Big Bucks in the Long Haul

Wed, 15 Jul 2015 15:30:00 EST

People are attempting to live a more frugal life nowadays, by handling projects that they have command over, in their daily life. This is a very good idea, if you wish to save a few precious bucks that can be utilized elsewhere. When it comes to auto repairs and maintenance, there are some jobs which you can perform just as well on your own, according to the expert technicians at Fuccillo Ford Adams, which deals with both new and used cars and is located in Syracuse.

Air Filter: According to car experts, the air filter of your vehicle must be changed after every year or 12,000 miles approximately, whichever comes first. When it comes to such a task, you can either pay a mechanic to have the job done or replace the air filter yourself, which will take only about 10 minutes of your time.

Windshield Wipers: You will need to replace your wiper blades after about every 6 months or a year of usage. The setup of a wiper blade is very different from car to car, which means one method of replacing the blades might not work well for another car. Refer to the owner's manual of your car's particular model.

Brake Pads: Most brake pads will have to be replaced after every 20,000 miles or so, but this is where you will have to check your car's owner manual before attempting anything. You will however, need to replace them much more frequently if you have a 'stop and go" driving habit.

Battery Maintenance: The secret behind the smooth and efficient running of your car depends largely on the condition of the battery and its connection with the rest of the car. Whatever you do, your car won't start if the battery has even a few specks of crunchy white residue in the depths. This can be taken care of with just a simple visual check that will let you know regarding the condition of the car battery.

Oil and Oil Filter: Professional car technicians recommend that you should change your oil after every 3,000 miles, but as much better products are being used nowadays, paired with cars that are performing more efficiently, you can easily get away with changing the oil and filter after every 5,000 miles or so.

Final Word

When it comes to DIY maintenance and auto repair, expert technicians at Fuccillo Ford Adams located in Syracuse suggest that one of the best steps that a person can take is to know when to not attempt a DIY job themselves. There are certain jobs that can be easily done with the help of someone or even alone but in most cases, it's better to hand over the car to a professional, as that will ensure that the problem has been solved from its root cause.

Fri, 10 Jul 2015 15:21:00 EST

Ford Focus

Making stains disappear from the shiny and clean interior of your car is not really easy. Imagine accidentally spilling coffee on the new upholstery or the carpet of your brand new 2016 Ford Focus. Isn't it really heart breaking? But don't worry anymore, as we, at Fuccillo Ford located in Adams; understand how much your car means to you and how immensely you are in love with its beauty. Therefore, we have brought some secret tips for you. These tips will help you get rid of those nasty stains in no time at all; here's how:

Simple Stains

You might not know it, but even water leaves a stain on your car. In order to remove such simple stains, you can go to the nearest store and purchase a simple stain remover spray. This is easily available in almost every store.

Prior to applying it, do test the spray on stains on another surface and rub it clean with a fresh piece of cloth. Obviously, you do not want to take the risk of using an inappropriate spray that can affect the color or texture of your car's interior. Once you have ensured that the spray causes no harm, apply it onto the stain on your upholstery, steering wheel, dash board, etc, and clean it gently.

Ink Stains

Ink stains can also be removed in the way mentioned above. But the other way to clean them is to use your hairspray or to rub it with alcohol. Apply the cleaning agent you prefer onto the stain and then using a new and clean cloth to wipe it off. It is suggested to use the tapping method to avoid the spreading of the stain.

Leather Stains

People usually prefer leather covers over fabric ones, because they can easily be cleaned and made spotless. If there is a stain on your leather seats, you can get rid of it by following a simple trick. For that, you have to slightly preheat your leather seats. This can be done using a leather conditioner, which will heat it to the required temperature. Once heated, apply a high-quality stain remover onto it and rub on it gently for around 2 to 30 seconds. This gives it enough time to clean it properly.

Oil and Grease Stains

Oil and grease stains are the most common ones found on the interior of the car. In order to remove them, you will need some water and paint thinner. Take a small amount of the thinner in a bowl and add equal amount of water to it. Now, dip a cloth's edge into it, and rub it against the stain. Leave it over night and clean it the following day.

How to Take the Best Care of a Ford Fusion's Tires?

Tue, 7 Jul 2015 15:09:00 EST

Ford Fusion

Tires are the most essential parts of your vehicle. They not only endure the entire weight of the car and those sitting inside it, but also bear the wear and tear caused by the rugged surface of the road. Hence, proper maintenance and servicing of your car's tires can add years to their life and speedy performance so that they can continue to serve your vehicle effectively till you decide to replace them.

If your Ford Fusion takes too long to slow down when the brakes are applied, doesn't drive as smoothly on wet roads as it used to, or experiences excessive vibration while driving, it is a clear indication that your car's tires need proper servicing. You can get your tires changed or serviced at Fuccillo Ford Adams whenever you want.

Here are a few things your tires might need to continue their smooth drive:

Pressure

Driving the car with inappropriate tire pressure is extremely dangerous as it can affect the braking time of the vehicle. It is therefore important that all the tires of the car are properly inflated up to the required air level. Fully inflated tires help in enhancing fuel efficiency and comfort level of the ride. It also helps in prolonging the tires" life span and wears them out evenly.

As per professional car technicians, the best way to set an optimum tire pressure is to follow the instructions mentioned in the manual. You must perform a regular pressure check to ensure the pressure is right every time.

While getting your tire inflated, it is also wise to remember that the air pressure inside the tires is directly affected by atmospheric temperatures. During winters, the pressure decreases whereas in the summers, it increases.

Vehicle Alignment

Wheel alignment or vehicle alignment refers to the coordination between the steering wheel and the tires. The right alignment is very essential during driving, which not only ensures a smoother ride but also improves the performance and life of the tires.

Vehicle misalignment or improper functioning of steering and suspension systems can lead to uneven wear of tires. Hence, it is recommended to use a fresh tube when changing a tire, and also to ensure that all the tubes and tires used, belong to the same brand. Use the right rim and tire combination to ensure that the tire fits properly.

Punctures and Repairs

Whether you own Ford's Fusion or any other car, punctures are the most common type of problem that drivers frequently face. If any of your vehicle's tires sustains a puncture, ensure that it is properly catered to and then thoroughly examined for damages.

Visit a professional car expert once in a month and get your tires checked for any damages or uneven wear. Your tires also need to be pumped up frequently for improved performance.

If you want to get your tires serviced, or need professional advice on any aspect of car care, then visit Fuccillo Ford Adams in Adams.

Test Driving Your Used Ford Fusion

Thu, 3 Jul 2014 18:11:00 EST

Used Ford Fusion

So you have finally decided you want a Ford Fusion as your next vehicle. The car you have chosen appears to be in perfect shape and seems to be in an excellent condition. Yes, your choice is good but you can never be certain until you test drive the car. While doing this, you must evaluate the performance from every aspect and then decide if it is the car you want or not.

So when you test drive your car, keep the following in mind.

Be a responsible driver

Avoid exerting a force on the car the moment you take it out on the road. Instead, you should start the drive gently. Take it out on the road, and after you have driven a few miles, you can try experimenting with the speed.

Take a mixed route

A car which delivers good performance on the local streets may not always satisfy you out on the highways as well. As such, you should test drive the car both in the city and on the highway. This will give you a better idea about the performance of the car.

Observe the steering

Try to steer the car in both directions, the car should respond promptly and there should be no delays of any sort. If the car turns even a fraction of a second late when you move the steering wheel, you should probably search around for another vehicle.

Notice the alignment

If it is safe, take your hand off the steering wheel and observe if the car is pulling in one direction. You should try this out on a couple of different surfaces so that you have an idea about the front end alignment.

Drive the car on a bumpy surface

Instead of driving the car on only smooth roads, you should also drive it on a bumpy surface or a parking lot with several speed bumps. The car should not wiggle while you do this.

Were you satisfied with the results of your test drive? If not, we can help you find a better car. At Fuccillo Ford, we offer a large range of both used and new models. Serving the areas of Watertown and Syracuse, NY, for several years now, we have built a name for ourselves and can help you in finding the perfect used car, which will not only deliver an incredible performance, but also be in your budget.

Common Breakdowns Experienced In a Used Ford F-150

Thu, 2 Jul 2015 15:04:00 EST

Ford F-150

The powerful trucks designed by Ford are meant to demonstrate strength and toughness. Aside from carrying heavy loads on rugged roads, these pickups are also famous for being the best partners on family adventures. However, despite being a fully loaded vehicle, the Ford F-150 may face an unexpected breakdown, which can leave you helpless in the middle of the road.

In this case, there are several reasons why the Ford F-150 can suffer a breakdown. The most common reason amongst them is the improper maintenance of the car that leads to minor as well as major faults. These breakdowns must be taken care of immediately or if you have doubts, you can go to professional technicians to ensure the problems are resolved completely. Fuccillo Ford Adams highlights the following common breakdowns that you must lookout for:

Overheated Engine

If you're driving your Ford pickup in a desert area where the temperature is quite high, it is more likely that your engine might heat up. However, high temperature alone is not responsible for this as the faulty cooling system of your vehicle or the low level of fluid can lead to overheating as well.

If you are wondering about the common types of faults that your car's cooling system can suffer, then know that there is a possibility that your thermostat is stuck, the cooling fluid has started to leak out or the cooling fan is not working properly.

Faulty Battery

Regardless of the car brand, dead or faulty batteries, is the most common breakdown that occurs in almost all types of used cars. It usually occurs due to bad cells in the battery that don't get charged properly and die all of a sudden without giving any prior failure warnings. Sometimes, the corroded terminals of the battery also prevent the smooth flow of charges, leading to insufficient storage of chemical energy in it. The best way to minimize the risk of battery failure is to examine your battery at least once in a month.

Fuel Problem

The common fuel related issues encountered by used-cars" drivers include running out of fuel in the middle of the road, filling up the fuel tank with the wrong type of fuel, or having a leakage in the fuel tank.

2WD, 4WD or AWD- What Suits You Better?

Tue, 23 Jun 2015 17:54:00 EST

We at Fuccillo Ford Adams know the difficulties you face when looking a new car to buy. With so many different features and specifications, it is sometimes quite confusing to decide on what specifications work best for you. Take for example; the dilemma of choosing between a vehicle that is a 2 Wheel Drive, a 4 Wheel Drive or an All Wheel Drive-Luckily for you we have highlighted below the things you need to consider before deciding on what is best for you in this regard.

The All Wheel Drive

People usually mix up an All Wheel Drive with a 4 Wheel Drive. There is an easy way to distinguish between them; an All Wheel-Drive system is always on; they tend to use electronic sensors to decide which wheel should get the car's muscle. On the other hand, Four Wheel Drive is usually not engaged unless you pull a lever or flip a switch to engage it-that is when all four tires will turn simultaneously.

So when should you opt for an AWD vehicle? That depends on the conditions and surrounding you live/travel in.

If you live in areas that gets occasional snowfalls and rain, an AWD is a good choice. You can conveniently drive through snow banks and let the system do they work-it'll know when to step in and prevent the car from sliding.

The 4 Wheel Drive

All wheel Drive vehicles fail in severe conditions like heavy snow and muddy roads, simply because the system cannot determine exactly which tire needs the power and where to send it. Pick a Four Wheel Drive and you will be rid of this problem. Just switch the 4WD mode and all your wheels will turn lifting you through any obstacle in your way.

The 2 Wheel Drive

If you live in a warmer climate a 4 wheel drive may not help you out that much-the system adds weight and intricacy to your car and results in extreme tire abrasion and lesser mileage. This is where the 2 Wheel Drive works best.

Two Wheel Drive cars come in two different setups. The rear-wheel-drive cars perform better but mostly take a back seat in bad weather conditions, whereas the front-wheel drive vehicles are good for harsh-weather driving, they provide better fuel economy but lesser performance.

Now that you know which wheel drive would work best for you, may be it would be easier for you to choose a new car for yourself. We at Fuccillo Ford Adams deal in new and used Ford cars- visit our outlets in Adams, Watertown and Syracuse for good deals and advice.

Getting Your Ford Explorer Repaired? Do Not Fall for These Tricks

Fri, 20 Jun 2014 14:17:00 EST

Ford Explorer

Uh oh, your Ford Explorer has just gotten damaged. Now you will have to take your car to a repair shop and get it fixed. Right, this can incur a huge bill, but we can help you stay away from it. Over here, we have highlighted the most common repair tricks which the sales representatives try to sell you so that they can charge you a higher bill.

Flat Tire Replacement

Flat tires are fairly common, and they are really easy to fix. In most cases, the cause is a screw, nail or another sharp object. The damaged part of the tire can be replaced with a patch and the costs incurred for this are not more than $20. So if the salesman suggests that you get new tires, be careful. You are probably just being fooled.

Radiator Coolant Replacement

Getting the oil of your Ford Explorer changed? No huge bill to deal with as long as you stick to just this. Still when you get this done, the mechanic may advice you to replace the coolant in your radiator. This is nothing but water mixed with antifreeze. Untold you have driven your Ford Explorer for 100,000 miles, there is probably no need for getting the radiator coolant changed.

Preventative Oil Replacement

How long have you had your Ford Explorer? If it is a recent model, oil change is seldom required. Modern cars use lubricants that can be used for longer periods. With synthetic oils, no oil change is required until you have driven for around 15,000 miles. So before you go for that next oil change, refer to your owner's manual and look up the distance that has been recommended.

Air Filter Replacement

An air filter has to be replaced only after it has become clogged with dust. A visual inspection is all that is needed to figure out if a replacement is due. If your mechanic does suggest one, examine the old filter by yourself and only then decide if a repair is required or not.

Restoring Your Used Ford Edge to its Original New Look

Thu, 19 Jun 2014 19:54:00 EST

Used Ford Edge

So you are about to buy a used Ford Edge and want to restore the car so that it has its original, classy look once more. But before you pay an amount for the vehicle, you have to make sure that the car you choose is indeed restorable, and your project will be a success. After all, you are going to spend so much money and time on it. Here is some advice that you can use in this regard.

The car must have value

There are so many old cars in the market, but not all of them are easily restorable. You have to find a car that is worth it, so that after you have spent time on it, the value is retained. Do not just settle down for your favorite model. Conduct a thorough research and choose a model that is valuable even after it has been restored.

Ford Edge is a valuable car and a great choice for such a project.

The car should have a minimum amount of rust

Treating rust damage is time consuming; at times, it may involve replacing the steel body panels. For some cars, these are available, but for others, you will have to turn to fabrications. Not your strength? Just buy a car that does not have a rusted chassis.

The car should start easily

If your chosen Ford Edge is already starting, well and good. Now all you have to do is improve the look. Buy a car that does not start and you might never be able to get it out on the road.

Did our tips help? If you are still confused, maybe restoration is not for you. Instead, just buy a used car from a renowned dealership and you will still not be paying any significant amounts. This is where we step in.

5 Common Driving Mistakes You Should Avoid

Thu, 11 Jun 2015 15:09:00 EST

Driving can prove to be a stressful act, and sometimes your carelessness makes it perilous too. Little mistakes can lead to colossal damage and injuries- sometimes even lengthy hospital and car bill. We at Fuccillo Ford Adams have highlighted below the most common driving mistakes made by people. Make sure you're not doing any of these.

Distracted Driver

Driving with distractions can prove to be hazardous, both for the driver and the passengers. Be it food, cell phones, text messages or CDs- these things cause enough disruption to take the driver's attention away from the road and the cars. Most accidents happen because the drivers took a call on their cell phones or were replying to a text message.

Tail Gating

It is essential to maintain proper distance between cars. Normally at 60mph an average car needs to be at least 120 feet away to allow ample braking time, SUVs require an additional 5 feet on top of that. Many people fail to realize the consequences of following too closely-it could prove fatal.

Driving Without Seatbelts

Seatbelts are made to protect you. Unfortunately, there is still quite a number of people who drive unbuckled. Most states are strict with the law of wearing seatbelts while driving, however, it is still not enough. Modern cars nowadays come with annoying seatbelt reminders, which help keep the passengers of the vehicle buckled.

Overcrowded Cars

Cramming 6 people in a place meant to seat only four will only cause distractions of carrying too many passengers. Extra passengers often lead the driver to drive aggressively pulling in more car power to support the additional load of people. Overcrowding can lead to serious repercussions, if only people were to realize it.

Risky Driving

The difference between risky driving and distraction is that risky behavior is intentional, done for adventure and thrill; whereas distraction is a turnout or sheer ignorance on the part of the driver. Risky driving includes disregarding traffic signals, changing lanes without signaling etc. Taking too many risks not only puts the lives of the driver and passengers in jeopardy, but also the lives of those who are driving responsibly.

Nothing is more precious than a life, be it yours, a loved one's or any other person's. Be careful of the grave consequences your actions can bring to you and people around you. Drive Safe!

Pamper Your Car Seats with the Perfect Cover

Tue, 9 Jun 2015 15:02:00 EST

If you are a car freak, who loves his car more than any other of your material possessions, then you would surely be interested in good car seat covers. They not only protect your car seats from dirt and spills but also give the interior a fresh new look. We at Fuccillo Ford Adams bring you a guideline to follow when getting new covers for your car's seats.

Seat Protection

As mentioned above, your seat covers will protect your car seats from being soiled and ruined. For that matter it is important that the covers you choose properly fit to the seats. This will result in two benefits; firstly dust and dirt particles would not be able to escape to the seat through a well fitted cover, and secondly you get a car that looks show-room new.

Custom Made Covers are Best

Most car seats differ in design, style, size and proportions; therefore it is best to get custom-fit seat covers for your car. A good car seat cover would ensure that it fits snugly to the seat, neither too loose nor too tight. Also custom made covers give you the liberty to choose the color and material of your covers.

The Fabrics

The last but most important thing to consider is the fabric of your seat covers. There are three basic types of fabrics apart from cloth available in the market

Vinyl is the most durable, weather resistant material available. It is a carefree choice that is available in a wide range of colors and is super resistant to sun-fading.

Leather is also durable provides a luxurious feel. Being waterproof it is easier to clean than other materials. It lasts longer and looks elegant and classy inside the car.

Sheepskin makes good car seat covers if you have a pet that travels frequently with you. They are inexpensive and easier to wash and clean.

Once you decide on the material make sure the color you choose is in harmony with the interior as well as the exterior of the car-in case of doubts, always opt for neutral shades like white, beige or black. Keep in mind that you would be spending slightly more than you would on a ready-made car cover, so choose well.

We at Fuccillo Ford Adams want what is best for you; that is why we deal in the best of new and used Ford cars. If you wish to purchase a car, visit our outlets in Adams, Watertown and Syracuse where our staff would be delighted to help you out.

Drive Safe in Bad Weather

Thu, 4 Jun 2015 14:51:00 EST

Weather in its extremities worsens driving conditions for daily commuters. If you travel to work daily and are frequently faced with the atrocities of the weather the following tips might help you keep your drive safe and pleasant, no matter how bad the weather gets. We at Fuccillo Ford Adams know how important your life and ride are to you.

For Snowy/Icy Roads

Slow down. Keep your cars sluggish. If you have an All-Wheel Drive you might want to reduce your car speed approximately 10mph below the normal speed limit- still if it bothers you, bring down the speed further until you're comfortable. Make sure you slow down a couple of hundred feet before stop signs and lights.

Watch out for the black ice. These crystal-clear glazes are almost impossible to see, keep an eye out for them as your headlights reflect off the road at night.

Turn into a skid. Do not panic if your vehicle begins to skid. Just take your feet off the brake and the accelerator and gently turn the steering wheel in the direction your car is skidding. This tends to nullify the skid and helps the car correct itself.

Deep in the Fog

Remember to always turn on your fog lights. These yellow lights provide better vision through fog than the white lights and since they are located low to the ground they illuminate the road as well.

Brake before you enter a foggy area. This will help alert the cars behind you to slow down. If you wait too long to pump the brakes, once in the thick of it, you risk your car getting hit from behind.

Slow down before going uphill. Be extremely careful when driving towards the peak of a hill as you will not be able to see any cars pulled over due to poor visibility.

Rainy Days

Slow down by a considerable 5 to 10mph to avoid your car from hydroplaning. Still if the car hydroplanes, do not panic-slow down further until it returns back to normal.

Avoid the flooded areas. Since the water's depth is hard to measure, driving into flooded areas can prove dangerous. It would cause further misery if the water gets sucked into the engine and the air filter, causing the car to breakdown.

Continue pumping the brakes after you drive through a puddle- and take your foot off the accelerator to help create heat and friction that will dry the brakes up.

Follow these simple tips to drive safe and better even in bad weather. Contact us for solid muscle Ford cars-we Fuccillo Ford Adams deal in old and new cars with our outlets operational in Adams, Watertown and Syracuse.

3 Reasons Why You Need To Buy a New Car

Mon, 1 Jun 2015 15:18:00 EST

New Ford

Buying a new car, for most of us, is not easy; it does cost quite a bit after all. For most of us, it will just mean increasing our duration of paying the debts.

Are you planning a long road trip? On a serious note, road trips often turn boring with the long distances and continuous driving. So how do you keep yourself entertained while on it? We at Fuccillo Ford Adams have just the right tips to help you do that.

Always Have Company

Travelling alone is no fun at all. When setting out on a road trip, make sure you have your favorite people with you.

Talk, share jokes, reminiscence on old memories, or just play games-time will pass so quickly, you wouldn't even realize.

A Road Trip Mix

Prepare a CD for the road trip. Put in your favorite songs and sing along with them throughout the journey. You could take a vote on what to listen, be it music or comedy. The aim is to keep everyone's spirits high. If not a CD, you still always have the choice to tune in to the radio and stream through the vast variety of entertainment provided on it.

Snacks

Keep snacks prepared for the trip in a cooler to help you save time and money. Munch on them while on the go-this will not only pass our time but also cut down on the stopovers you make at roadside stores. Do not forget to keep empty bags for garbage, you don't want to travel long hours in a dirty car.

Play Games

Keep yourself entertained with games. You and your troop can play a variety of games without needing any additional materials, or you can also take along travel sized board games to indulge yourself in a fun filled trip. If however, you are not a fan of games, spend your time reading a good novel or magazine, solving a crossword or simply taking pictures of the landscape.

Me, Myself and My Used Ford F-150

Thu, 29 May 2014 15:59:00 EST

Used Ford F-150

These blog posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories.

How do you really get to enjoy life? I have asked myself that countless times. I am not really a party person and that is a tad inconvenient when you are dragged out on St. Patrick's Day by your friends in hopes of celebrating and getting wasted.

I was no good at that in college and I don't know what would pique my interest at this stage of my life. Unlike every year, this year I decided not to hide myself in blankets and declare flu or some other likely virus. I decided to go for a long drive instead.

I had just bought this pre-owned Ford F-150, the image of which I had fallen in love with a while ago. I knew it was St. Patrick's Day, and I was expecting there to be random breath tests at every corner, so I left for the off road trails in the morning.

I loved the isolation and the peace and quiet, and ended up going around in circles in a forest trail the entire day. The car handled the rough terrain impeccably and it was smooth sailing all the way. At around sunset on my way to get back home, I ended up from all the places in the world in a bar in Waterfront, NY. I guess not been stressed out about my anxiety on such social events helped, and I actually ended up having some real fun on St. Patty's day.

It has become sort of a ritual with me now. Whenever I feel cutting myself off from my social circle I just go for a long ride on my Ford until I feel better.

2011 Ford Flex SE: Taking Life By the Wheel

Thu, 29 May 2014 15:53:00 EST

2011 Ford Flex SE

These blog posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories.

So the missus and I have been together for 13 years now. Along the way, she wanted kids and we tried fruitlessly time and again. Although we didn-t have any children, it never bothered me. I was always so happy with her, besides I was saving a ton on diapers and daycare expenses. My wife, however, wasn-t as content with our life as I was. She talked me into buying a big house, and we ended up living at a place where there were plenty of opportunity for her to hide and shut me out.

Not having any children and having a big empty house was affecting our relationship, and I decided I could not let this go on. I had to do something to fix it, and that's when I bought the 2011 Ford Flex SE. It was pre-owned but in really good condition and I had seen her looking at it once too. So I managed to persuade her on a road trip and we set out on one fine Saturday.

I don't remember if we had been that close for that long anytime in the last twelve months. I steered clear of the heavy topics, my primary goal was to make her feel special. So I bought her flowers, started complimenting her, and witnessed the rosy glow return to her cheeks against the gray interior of the car. We rode on and on and I was super careful when I stumbled on the subject. I explained to her how she meant everything to me and that I really wanted to see her happy. She opened up a bit and then pointed me to a trail, I being the hubby who was not in a position to say no turned the car towards it and what was supposed to be a nice Saturday morning turned into an adventure when we literally got lost. In no time we were working together, ruffling through maps, digging out a compass, debating whether a spider's web qualified as a natural compass, etc.

The 4WD did a great job in isolating us from our problems and giving us the opportunity to hit the road and work on our relationship. We eventually made our way back home, and now take the Ford Flex SE for an adventure drive every six months.

2012 Ford Escape XLT: A Car Can Be Your Vacation Destination!

Thu, 29 May 2014 15:02:00 EST

2012 Ford Escape XLT

These blog posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories.

I am the eldest of my three siblings. We were really close growing up together. Today all of us have moved away from home and our mum has passed away so I am the one responsible for choosing and arranging the family get together vacations. It is a family tradition. So the other day I was going through some old pictures and there was one in which all five of us were posing next to this new car we had bought when I was just 12 and my youngest sister used a pacifier.

That picture was taken just before our first journey in the new family car and that gave me a brilliant idea. I had been planning on buying a car for myself lately so I used my savings to buy a 2012 Ford Escape XLT. When the time came to notify my siblings and my dad of the annual vacation destination, they were a bit doubt full of making a road trip but my powers of persuasion came in handy.

We had our fair share of adventures and moments of nostalgia. Our dad had to buy us ice cream when we fought on who called shotgun on driving the car (nobody could win that round so it was my father behind the wheel in the end). There were embarrassing pictures taken for future black mailing purposes and it literally seemed like we were 10 again. The best part about the journey was that we were doing absolutely nothing except the eventful "I spy" game in the car but we realized how much we had missed each other's company. At first I was sure I had made a blunder on choosing this as our vacation but it worked out for the best in the end.

Used Ford F-150: The Tale Of Asphalt, Tarmac, And A Woman

Wed, 28 May 2014 19:18:00 EST

These blog posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories.

My car broke down in the middle on my way to Syracuse. It is moments like these that you remember all the things that could have been different, preventing you from ending up in the situation you are in. I am really bad with all the car stuff, and cannot fix it myself if something goes wrong. Imagine how hard I had to work deciding on the easiest car to handle for me. for a friend recommended a Ford F-150 truck and I ended up buying it.

So there I was standing two feet from my truck, hoping to hitch a ride. I caught one easily, it was a young woman driving a bandwagon and she was nice enough to tow my truck to the next garage that was �just up the road. Well, I can tell you it was not just around the corner because it took me a straight half an hour of conversing with the woman before I realized it.

When my car was finally at the mercy of a mechanic, I think the universe decided to play a joke with me, to my embarrassment the only problem with my ride was the lack of oil and in my frustration on the road I had failed to check the needle signifying "empty". I did not want that lady hearing of this supposed car trouble but she did and the look on her face is one that I still remember. I am sure my face was red because what ensued was an exchange of digits and I am happy to say that she is sitting right beside me as I am telling this story.

I did not pretend that my car broke down. But it worked; I guess whatever diverted my attention from filling in fuel that day knew that she was driving behind me. My accountant friend maintains the theory that my ride is an Autobot.

The Ford Expedition Limited Can Change People

Wed, 28 May 2014 19:15:00 EST

These blog posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories.

I have to be brutally honest, I am not the person who as a kid got a Mustang for my 16th birthday, I spent half of my young adulthood in my mother's minivan.

I live in Syracuse, NY, now and my lack of "metal to the pedal" experiences has rendered me in a rusty old thing. This morning, when I woke up in an off road trail, tucked in my sleeping bag I asked myself how in the world I could ever end up with the Ford Expedition SUV. The thing that is poking at my thoughts constantly is the fact that I have been on this trail before with a couple of friends but this time it felt insanely different.

So we do these things at least once or twice annually. Just a bunch of guys who can't wait to get away from the bustling concrete jungle. All of us fishing on some lake is not just an experience for us, it is symbolic of our love for the wilderness, and is a great way to spend an extended weekend away from work and home.

This time I decided to take this journey alone, in celebration of buying a new car for myself and that has now topped the best decisions of my life.

The 2013 Ford Expedition (though I bought it used) has great ground clearance and affordable maintenance. I needed that since I bought it for a long off road journey. And I have to say that I was definitely going for the classy look when I decided on my final pick. The best part about this car is the excellent traction. The AWD came in real handy for me, since I only get to experience back seat driving in my previous off road adventures so I did not really look into the entire wheel traction system beforehand. All I knew was that it works wonders for riding in snowy places. (Well, I guess another journey is imminent at the end of the year.)

I took this amazingly cooperative companion through a forest trail and back and it dominated the terrain just fine. I don't want to switch cars ever.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT Is Not For Little Boys!

Wed, 28 May 2014 19:10:00 EST

These blog posts are from guest authors who bought cars from us and wanted to share their stories.

I still remember the day I scored my driver's license. My parents got me a brilliant red fire metallic Ford Explorer to celebrate the achievement and I was skeptic on the closed car body, the car was a 4WD so my mind wandered to the fact that they probably wanted me to drive safe on a snow day. Secretly I was kind of disappointed (I would not have said no to a Porsche, just kidding) but an SUV for a 16 year old who still cannot parallel park like a boss (I am working on it). Anyway, I remember walking to school the next day. I also remember not looking into the garage for that red hunk of metal for 8 months!

Here's what happened, in the last year of high school I actually came up with the courage to talk to this girl I had been crushing on since freshman year. Well, fast forward to our 3^rd month anniversary I found out that she was going to a college across the country. I knew something like that would happen but it felt weird when she told me. I had this sudden feeling on anxiety crash over me and I decided then and there that I was not spending the weekend holding her hand on a bench somewhere. I had to act!

That Friday after school I honked the horn of my Explorer Sport Trac outside my girlfriend's house. We raced out of Watertown, I"d thought we"d catch a drive in movie or something but she had her own plans. She guided me to of all the things in the world, a carnival. Seriously, I had the time of my life. I thought she"d make me stop and would just want to talk and Mother Nature being a lady would cue rain but no. The best part about that night was us munching in licorice sitting on the top of my red SUV's hood and talking about the future. I am glad I finally choose to take out the car that day because it was that moment that she told me she"d stick around with me if I promised to take her on off-road trips with her.

I laugh every time I think about that because after all that time we are still together and have made 5 adventurous journeys in that car.

Maintenance procedures to keep your Ford Focus reliable throughout this hot summer

Mon, 18 May 2015 16:29:00 EST

Two Important maintenance procedures for the summers

Summers are supposed to be full of fun and adventure. Whether you decide to go to the beach, a nearby lake, or a road trip; the drive there is half the fun! To keep your holiday spirits up this summer, the Fuccillo Dodge dealership in Adams will share two basic maintenance procedures for you to perform before you hit the road.

The maintenance procedures we are sharing are simply to keep the people of our city safe. Keep your car cool, yourself cool, and the engine running; perform these short procedures and don't squander all the good times you can have, waiting for your Ford Focus to come back from the garage after repairs. These short simple procedures can be done in a single afternoon and will save you a lot of time that you might otherwise have to spend at the mechanic.

Flushing the cooling system

As you continue to drive your car day after day, your vehicle's radiator and all the passages that run, to and from the radiator and the cooling system, get clogged over time. In addition, the chemical compounds within the coolant starts to break down and loose its effectiveness. Both these factors can play a destructive role in damaging your radiator in the long run. The cooling ability of your car will also become seriously crippled, and with the summers upon us, the chance of your engine overheating, are high as well. This could damage the parts in the cooling system itself, further increasing the cost of repairs.

Give your cooling system the attention it deserves; flush the radiator and replace the coolant so your car can function at an optimal level.

Change engine Oil

Oil change is perhaps the most important aspects of all the maintenance tasks; it is what keeps your engine running. Although you may already know that, but did you know that oil itself is responsible to keep all the moving parts in the engine from overheating due to friction? Now you do; so the more the engine heats up, the faster the oil deteriorates. So, in the summer, it is important that you change your engine's oil with a fresh bottle early on. This is not only good for the longevity of your engine but your summer vacation plans as well.

Get these preliminary tasks out of the way as early as you can and enjoy; Fuccillo Ford dealership in Adams hopes you have a great summer without facing any complications with regard to your vehicle. If you are looking for a reliable Ford Focus or any other vehicle, to drive during the summers; come and take a closer look at the options available at our showroom.

Understanding the Belt and Hose Maintenance of Your Used Ford F-150

Wed, 13 May 2015 16:58:00 EST

Ford F-150

At Fuccillo Ford in Adams, we have encountered numerous customers and a plethora of both new and used vehicles. When we sat together to ponder over it, we noticed the number of people who take the maintenance of belts and hoses for granted, are extremely high. In fact, there are a few more areas of cars that are ignored when it comes to their maintenance; they are only replaced when a part malfunctions. Having this type of attitude towards your car, is nothing less than committing an automotive killing.

The significance of the belts and hoses of your F-150

The set of belt and hoses installed in your vehicle performs a number of functions. It essential for the cooling system of your engine, several parts of your air conditioning system, as well your vehicles battery and electronic charging systems. No matter how unimportant this replacement routine seems to you, it's an essential part of your vehicle's intricate engineering. Once these belts and hoses wear out, it has the potential to break down your car abruptly, leaving you stranded, probably in search of a cell tower, so you can call AAA.

The timing belt for example, functions as a synchronizer for the camshaft and crankshaft to maintain the timing with the revolutions of the engine. The fan belt or the V-belt is responsible for transmitting momentum from the front of the engine to power the panels, AC, gadgets, and accessories inside the vehicle. Meanwhile the heater and radiator hoses function as a bridge between the coolant and the engine to keep the core of the engine cool.

Common wear and tear of Belts and Hoses

The key factors that contribute to the replacing frequency of belt and hose are as follows. Vehicle age is a significant contributor because belts and hose wear off over time, and in old vehicles, this is likely to be the case. Mileage is another simple factor, as the more you drive; the faster these parts are likely to wear off.

It's common knowledge that oil has the ability to rapidly corrode rubber. Keep this in mind for your vehicle, because while replacing your engine oil or any other maintenance work, oil may come into contact with the rubber belts. As soon as that happens, it is crucial that you immediate wipe it off. Most mechanics say that belt tension is one minor, yet overlooked factor.

To check if the belts of your vehicle are not under unnatural load, take your vehicle to a licensed mechanic to get it checked. In the case of hoses, the wear and tear is because of the heat, both of the engine and the weather.

Should You Leave Your Used Ford Fusion Idle, or Turn the Engine On/Off?

Mon, 11 May 2015 16:09:00 EST

Ford Fusion

While most situations such as waiting to pick up a friend from their home or being in a drive-through at night, define it clearly, others still, like running a quick errand, are confusing. At Fuccillo Ford Adams in Adams, NY, we evaluate whether idling is as effective as it seems.

According to the California's Consumer Energy Center and according to the Environmental Defense Fund and all the other authorities, the rule's to turn off the car if you expect to be idling for 10 seconds or more. The point here is that you"d be releasing harmful emissions the same as when you"d be driving, with the difference that you aren't gaining any miles every gallon.

Secondly, according to Edmunds, you're able to save nearly 19% of your money if you shut down rather than let it run idle; otherwise, it's just an incomplete combustion process, and depending on how much fuel's been consumed, cost you around $50-70. And for a third, there's the incentive that you don't use more gas to shut off and restart than you"d use when idling.

If you"ve a car like the Ford Fusion, it"d be equipped with the stop-start technology so your car automatically shuts off when you're stopped, thereby saving energy and forcing car owners to realize that this short time isn't exactly long enough for their engines to cool down. To bust another myth with modern cars, you aren't being "hard" on your car's battery and engine with the frequent restarts either.

Besides these pros to shutting off instead of idling, the fact that idling actually puts the car at risk should put you on alert. As per the Hinkle Charitable Foundation's observation, idling initiates an inefficient mode, which eventually dampens the performance and mileage for the vehicle. If warming up a cold engine is your excuse, two or three minutes are enough to do it. The remote ignition, while convenient, is also unnecessary this way. Warm the engine and the inside of the vehicle by driving the car instead.

Another point to mention here, even though it's popularly known, is that if a car's on idle in a closed place such as garage then the carbon monoxide accumulation can lead you to lose consciousness.

With such positive aspects to refrain from the habit of idling altogether, we seek to make your driving experience with the Ford Fusion better. For more tips or car deals, contact the Fuccillo Ford Adams in Adams, NY.

The Ford Fusion- At Last, It's Go Time!

Thu, 7 May 2015 16:06:00 EST

Ford Fusion

If one were to overlook the fact that the best fuel economy on its trims will cost you a premium or that the head space afforded by the back seat might prove to be a little challenging for some passengers, then a pre-owned Ford Fusion is the car for you. Get it from a trusted dealer like Fuccillo Ford Adams in Adams, NY and it'll be like hitting the gold mine.

Favorite Features

As a family sedan, it's unlike any others at its price-point.

Head-turning Style

It might not have needed the looks after all, but if it weren't for the customers who base their decisions on first impressions only, we"d probably still be waiting for the curved metal body, with the bold grille at front, and an overall upscale and sportier appearance than the previous model boasted. The design serves an additional purpose: the car has better driving and safety dynamics.

Impressive Engine

When it comes to performance, it's a pleasant surprised under the hood whether it's the 2.5L 4-cylinder for the base, the 1.6-L 4-cylinder turbocharged, or the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged one to coax the maximum horsepower out of it.

Engaging Ride and Fuel Economy Numbers

The Ford Fusion giving excellent value for money is going to meet most buyers" requirements on this one. It's smooth, whichever way you consider it. The start/stop option functioning to increase fuel economy on the 1.6-L model might affect the climate-control system's efficiency when left in the idle mode; besides, one needs to be properly acquainted to it first before using it easily.

Cabin, Accommodates Better; Technology, Luxury At Convenience

This one characteristic is worth mentioning as well. Despite the exterior look, the cabin is comfortable for four adults or five (if it's the kids occupying the back seat) to fit in easily. The trunk might be smaller but the versatile seating arrangements make up for the reduced cargo space.

There are four trims for the Fusion starting with S, following through with SE, SE Hybrid, and then Titanium. Standard features include tilt/telescoping wheel, Fords" SYNC wireless communication system, 10-way power driver's seat, rearview camera, and premium audio. It's rated �good by the IIHS.

It's hard to criticize anything when you are driving a Ford Fusion. Find yourself a wonderful deal for a pre-loved model at Fuccillo Ford Adams in Adams, NY and get going.

Ford Escape: You're On a Roll with a Ford Favorite

Mon, 4 May 2015 15:57:00 EST

Ford Escape

There ought to be a reason why the vehicle's been a bestseller in its class. In this review, the Fuccillo Ford Adams in Adams, NY, tested out the Ford Escape.

Dance like No One's Watching

Powered by either a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or a V6 alternative, achieving a fuel economy estimate of 23/28 or 19/25 respectively, everyday driving becomes fun and green for your pocket. It's capable of shifting the SUV's weight quite easily. Pair the four-cylinder with the optional six-speed automatic and you have quite a charmer right here, leaving you in ecstatic delight as the Escape zooms around at 171 horsepower effortlessly.

The acceleration's excellent even if it's an AWD. But for a more responsive vehicle, you should consider the six-speed automatic mated to the V6. With respect to the way it handles, it should suffice with those if you"ve had had no issues with the basic brake design in the past, because for some reason, it's still incorporated in the Escape models; you'll hear, not feel, the road inconsistencies.

Set for a Party

Need to impress someone? The Ford Escape's the car you should be getting. Loads of space, high-quality materials for the cabin, and high-tech and easy to decipher and use controls if you want a comfortable car. It's a five-seat car, so some might go as far as to say it's the roomiest for its class. The driver's manual two-way seat without a tilt/telescoping wheel make it difficult to adjust into a relaxed position. Leg and head room is good for tall passengers and there's good visibility offered from each side. The materials and finish complementing the boxy exterior continue to be a solid competition for its rivals.

So what else do you need besides your friends accompanying you and ample cargo space supported by an opening tailgate glass and a low-level loading deck to haul everything you need to make the trip memorable? A more advanced infotainment system perhaps? Including ambient lighting, SYNC audio system complete with voice-activated navigation, remote entry, cruise control, power locks and windows, alloy wheels, AC, heated leather seats, a moonroof, steering-wheel controls, chrome exterior accents, dual-zone climate control, rear DVD entertainment, self-parking and MyKey as standard on the small crossover, car shoppers are in love with how well it's been loaded.

Check all the right boxes with the Ford Escape and you'll enjoy like never before.

Driving During a Heatwave: How to Survive with a Ford Escape

Fri, 1 May 2015 15:44:00 EST

Ford Escape

With summers in full swing, even the benign sunshine can be dangerous to commuters or vacationers if they are not on their guard. If you"ve been caught outside in a hot day in your luxurious Ford Escape, don't despair just yet. At Fuccillo Ford Adams in Adams, NY, we think the following will help you survive the scorching heatwave.

Keep Your Body Hydrated

One of the first things to affect us is dehydration. Counter that by drinking plenty of water and tonic fluids. Don't wait till you feel thirsty; get some right now and drink lots for the whole day. Take water bottles with you when you make the trip and refill them every chance you get.

Avoid consuming caffeinated or alcoholic drinks though; they look tempting, but in fact dehydrate you. Likewise, replace large meals with smaller doses - vegetables and fruits with high water content - instead of salty or sugary foods, should be preferred.

Protect Your Skin

Not to discourage you or anything, but this isn't exactly the best of times to try and get the perfect tan; there are far more chances you'll get sunburnt with too much time and minimal sun screen to support. If opening the sunroof and windows doesn't support ventilation, keep them off and let the AC work.

Clothes to Spare

The Ford Escape has a healthy 31.4 cubic feet in terms of cargo space and you can increase it to 67.2 cubic feet with the versatility edged in. Planning will ensure you have some extra gear to survive unexpected heatwave if you hadn't dressed sensibly already with light-colored, lightweight clothing.

Car Maintenance

Neither you nor your car should be doing anything too exhausting. Protect your car by planning a route that includes a place to stop and stretch out; by not parking in full sunlight and using sun visors and dash cover for the windows; by keeping the car's water and/or coolant levels topped off; and by refraining to use the AC at high setting when stuck in traffic.

Finally, focus on driving instead of taking pictures of the temperature gauges to post online. And whatever you do, don't leave your pets or kids in cars even if you are running a quick errand.

The Best Selling Pickup in America, the Ford F-150, Available (New & Used) in Watertown, Syracuse and Adams, NY

Fri, 25 Apr 2014 18:13:00 EST

Ford F-150

The F-series is the bestselling vehicle in North America, not just in the pickup segment. The series of pickup trucks consists of the Ford F-150, F-250, F-350 and so on, with the former being the entry level truck. Having humble beginnings as a rugged workhorse that could haul the heaviest of loads from point A to B, the newer generations also focused on comfort and versatility, making the 150 what it is today.

A used Ford F-150 carries with it a lot of benefits such as high resale value, availability of spare parts and tough to the nails mechanical parts that won't give you any trouble even after the 100,000 mile mark. Come have a look at some of the used Ford F-150 models we have at Fuccillo Ford, the most reputed Ford dealership in Watertown, Syracuse and Adams, NY.

Engine

The great thing about a used Ford F-150 is the numerous engine choices available. The base engine is a 3.7 liter V6 with a 302hp power output, which is what most Ford F-150 models in the Watertown, Syracuse and Adams, NY area are equipped with. Upgrading through the engine choices gets you a 365hp twin turbo V6 and a 5 liter V8 that can crank out about 360hp. Our personal favorite is the 6.2 liter V8 version that shells out an incredible 411horses, enough to pull the heaviest of trailers across Watertown.

Exterior

The F-150 may be the entry level pickup in the F-series, but it's certainly no slouch on the streets of Watertown, Syracuse and Adams, NY. Though not that tall, the F-150 boasts a muscular appearance that subtly hints at the beastly V6/V8 engines powering these beasts. It is also not as wide as some of the larger pickups on the market, which means that parking in compact spots isn't that hard. Three bed lengths are available for the F-150.

Features

Not only do used Ford F-150 models come in various engine choices, they also come in numerous trims; nine to be exact. There's the base level XL, the sports themed STX, the mid-level XLT, the off road worthy FX2 / FX4, luxury oriented Lariat and King Ranch, along with the Raptor, Platinum and Limited variants.

A Ford F-150 is surely the best choice for a rugged yet inexpensive pickup truck for hauling purposes in Watertown, Syracuse and Adams, NY.

Watertown, Adams & Syracuse Residents Fall in SUV Love with a Fuel-Efficient and Low-Cost Used Ford Explorer

Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:46:00 EST

Ford Explorer

Though the Ford Explorer wasn't the first crossover SUV on the market, or even a crossover to begin with, it can still be credited as starting the whole 90s SUV craze that dominated most of the decade. How? Well, before the Explorer was introduced, SUVs were mostly limited for heavy duty work such as hauling or serious off roading. However, the Explorer was the first SUV that was within the reach of the common man. This was due to the comfort, performance and affordability that it provided, not to mention the style that went on to captivate the imagination of Watertown, Syracuse and Adams" residents.

Today, the Explorer still follows the legacy of its predecessors, offering a reasonable amount of power, comfort and dynamic handling in a stylish package. Therefore, a used Ford Explorer comes as a highly recommended choice for an all rounder SUV.

Engine

A used Ford Explorer is most likely to come with a 3.5 liter V6 that can give out about 290hp, sufficient for off road purposes through the hills of Adams and Syracuse, as well as driving on the highways of Watertown. However, there are also a number of used Ford Explorer models at Fuccillo Ford that come with a turbocharged version of the same engine and can crank out a healthy 365hp. If power is not your thing, you may also choose to go for the economical 2 liter engine. A six speed automatic transmission is standard for all engine choices along with FWD or AWD systems.

Exterior

The Explorer is a fairly large SUV that can easily accommodate up to seven passengers. The size, however, does mean that parking in compact spots can be a tedious task.

Features

Four trim levels are available; the base, XLT, Limited and Sport. Though you might think that the entry level trim comes sparsely equipped, you"d be wrong as some of the used Ford Explorer models at Fuccillo Ford, NY feature niceties such as a parking camera, remote entry and fully fledged audio systems. Other options may include GPS navigation, DVD entertainment, cruise control, temperature controlled seats and even a voice syncing command system.

Getting Your F-15O Ready for the Winters -Tips for Car Owners

Mon, 20 Apr 2015 18:53:00 EST

Ford F-150

Snow renders even the most experienced of drivers clueless at times. Fret not; our experts at Fuccillo Ford Adams have listed down a few tips that will help you maintain and get your F-150 ready for the winters.

Tires

Start with weather safety tips from your tires. They affect how well you are able to turn, stop, move or grip on snow covered areas. Make sure that your tires are inflated properly. Your best bet is to get winter tires or all-season tires to help you get through in winters. Tires will lose one pound of pressure on every 10 degree drop in the temperature. Therefore, it is important to check tire pressure on a regular basis.

Keep the Tank Full

In an ideal world, no one lets their gas tank get below the halfway point for emergency situations. Try to always keep your gas tank at least half full; you do not want to get caught in the middle of nowhere with no gas in extreme cold. Keep your tank half full regardless of the weather, since it will prevent your fuel line from freezing up in the winter.

Keep Some Winter Gear

You should be prepared for emergency situations even if you only drive to and from work and school. Keep a small shovel to dig out your tires in case the tires get stuck, and an ice scraper to clean your windows. Keep water and granola bars to keep energized and hydrated while you are waiting for a tow truck. Flashlights, glow sticks and flares are helpful and can be a savior in adverse weather conditions.

Be Confident not Overconfident

A car with an all-while drive system may help you maneuver in bad weather, but it won't do much to stop you on an icy road. Remember that slamming the brakes is no good, regardless of the weather. Keep in mind the terrain in front of you and go easy on the brakes, accelerator, and steering in adverse weathers. In snow, quick movements can cause you to slide and lose control.

Check Your Vehicle

Always keep a spare tire with you and ensure it is in good condition. Keep an eye out on the fluid levels-washer fluid, oil and antifreeze. Whether you are driving to the store a block away or to work; look into things that might keep you safe so that you are not caught off guard in your moment of need.

Nothing can replace the picture of a well-painted car on the beach during a sunrise/sunset. Although, a lot of work has already been done on this concept but this never-dying idea will make every inch of your car shine and glow under the sun rays in front of the glittering water.

Clearer and Closer Focus

Stylish sedans like the Fuccillo Ford Adams Focus come with richness and opulence in every inch. Clean the car body, get close, focus on a single element (like the logo), and click your love!

Don the Interior

Modern and stylish cars have expensive and rich interiors with extra detailing and parts. Why not capture the shining interior or focus on the details like studio lights, audio system, smart steering, rich leather seating, royal dash, and touch screen LED?

Crowd Click

Photography techniques have transformed a lot with rise in photography and editing software. Take the photo of the car in a crowd and work with blur and pixel effects, color changing techniques, and other tricks. Ask a Photoshop expert to help you create a masterpiece.

Take Many Clicks

Being slow with photography is an expired rule. The exclusivity in camera technology allows you to take as many clicks per second as you want. All the photography experts love running while shooting as modern cameras do not interfere with focus, clarity and blur. So run, click, and later select your best photos.

Professional Tips on DIY Windshield Repair of Fuccillo Ford Adams F-150

Mon, 13 Apr 2015 18:47:00 EST

Ford F-150

Repairing or restoring the windshield of your car with DIY toolkits may be problematic at times and stronger cars, minivans and trucks like the Fuccillo Ford Adams F-150 tend to be more resistant against windshield and mirror damages. Also, the cost you incur due to DIY toolkits may be far more than repairing the windshield with the help of a pro. However, if you want to give it a go, here are some professional tips by our Watertown dealership to repair the windshield on your own.

Why People Fail With DIY Toolkits

Most often, the DIY toolkit contains information on measurements, techniques to use, step-by-step guides, and other such details. However; these toolkits do not contain expertise information including the amount of pressure to put, the quality of the products that the toolkit does not contain, equipment using techniques, and some other information like drying time, how much filling is required in each area, and the correct viscosity of liquids and gels etc.

How to Save Money Without DIY

The problem with repairing windshields on your own is that you are not certain about the end product. Thus, in order to save the most money, get your car insured. Most insurance companies cover almost all types of repairs and damages. Often, the insurance cost is also less than the cost of DIY repair.

Another great way to save money is to fix the damage as soon as possible. The insurance company payments are limited for car damage and repair. The potential insurance amount will be wasted if you take the vehicle to a professional after the repair area becomes larger. Also, try to fix as many repairs at a time as possible. Don't hesitate to charge the insurance company.

More Professional Tips

Many people are convinced by DIY toolkit advertisements. If you have tried to repair the windshield on your own and failed, don't hesitate to call a professional before it's too late. A professional windshield repair may save you a large sum of money. Some more professional tips by our Watertown dealership include:

For best results, never repair the windshield on your own.
If you want DIY repair, then check the weather. Rainy and foggy weathers are worst for repair.
Always work in shady areas as resins may loosen the binding.

The pickup truck Fuccillo Ford Adams F-150 offers good safety with its aluminum body and durable glass. Its long term durability, noise control, ride isolation and body on frame design make it a vehicle that holds its own in the trucking industry.

How to Child-Proof a Pre-Owned 2013 Ford Escape Titanium

Wed, 1 Apr 2015 18:36:00 EST

Ford Escape

Where driving can be a difficult task in itself sometimes, it becomes even more tedious if your passengers are young kids. You fear their being hyperactive while you are driving and you fear leaving them alone, unsupervised, in the car while you run errands.

If you're considering shopping for a used Ford Escape Titanium, the following is what the experts at the Fuccillo Ford in Adams, NY recommend to make your car a safety zone for the kids.

Rule #1: Don't Leave the Keys in the Car

You don't know it but your kid in the back and/or in the passenger seat have been observing you. Don't leave the keys where they can access them easily, disengaging the brake and starting the car- they're bound to get into mischief. Luckily, it's something you can easily avoid.

Rule #2: Use Seat Belts and Rear Door Child Locks to Secure Your Child

Teach them to buckle up as the first thing they do when they get in the car. Make sure you do the same too; your child is more likely to learn the habit if you follow the same rule too. It's also better if you read the car manual first to verify that you are buckling the right way because it might be different from your previous car. Make sure the belts that are not being used don't carry a strangulation risk.

Secondly, the facility of child locks ensures that your child cannot open the door from the inside once the lock's engaged. They"d have to wait for you to open it from the outside. This is useful when the car's in motion and the small one is able to reach the door handle already.

Rule #3: Keep the Dangerous Stuff Away

Your Ford Escape's emergency kit has to have items like the wiper fluid or an ice scraper. They are essential but they become dangerous if your child's accompanying you too. One thing would be to keep them in your trunk only. Things like medical aids should always be kept away in glove compartments.

Pro tip: Keep the foldable rear seats locked upright so the kid won't drive you crazy trying to get into the trunk.

The 2013 Ford Escape Titanium, with its combination of many features, premium driving dynamics, and above par fuel efficiency, is the ultimate small crossover vehicle that you can gift yourself. Follow these tips and you"d have a great trouble-free driving experience.

Drive through Watertown and Syracuse in the Elegant Ford Focus

Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:00:00 EST

Ford Focus

The hatchback genre was completely dominated by traditional market leaders like Honda and Toyota, back in the 90's. The reason American automobile manufacturers failed in the hatchback segment was simply because they failed to deliver the degree of reliability and economical value that Japanese hatchbacks did. The Ford Focus was introduced to compete with such strong rivals who already had a firm grip on the market. However, the Ford Focus successfully managed to get a good chunk of the market share.

Currently, it retains its popularity and charm, especially among families and individuals in Watertown and Syracuse. Progressing rapidly, and in its third generation today, the Ford Focus is one of the most sought after cars for the residents, all thanks to its charming aesthetics, zippy handling and affordability.

Engine

The 2 liter 4 cylinder engine has the ability to produce 160 horsepower with ease. You can choose between a 5 speed manual or a 6 speed automatic transmission. For extra fuel economy, you can also get the Super Fuel Package, which brings the EPA up to 40 miles per gallon on the highway. This is one of the highest for a non-hybrid car.

For better economy and greener emissions you can also get the 143 horsepower electric Ford Focus. This is powered by a 107 kilowatt motor. This model is perfect for travelling in the rush hour traffic of Watertown and Syracuse.

Exterior

The classy Ford Focus is now available in a sedan version as well. The hatchback and the sedan versions boast of an attractive and elegant design which is impressively compact to drive through Watertown and Syracuse even during rush hours.

Features

The Ford Focus is available in three trim levels; the base S, the midlevel SE and the top of the line Titanium trim.

In order to get started, you will need a small quantity of water and an equal amount of dish washing liquid, as well as a spray bottle or a jar, or even a bucket in which you can mix them. Stand about 8 inches further away from the stain as you spray the homemade formula on to the stained spot.

Once you have sprayed the stained spot, use a soft-bristle brush to gently rub the stain, and then rinse the area while using slightly warm water. Use a clean rag and if needed, frequently clean the rag as well until the stain has not been removed.

Warm Water, Soap & Borax

If you want to use another technique, you can go for this homemade one as well. All you need is a small quantity of warm water, borax, and soap. You will need to add about 2 tablespoons of borax in to a container or a bucket, about 6 tablespoons of soap bar grate, and 2-3 cups of hot water. If you want, you can add essence as well, about 8 drops. Let the formula cool down, it will turn in to a thick mix, whip it until it becomes a bit foamy in texture.

Once the mixture is foamy, use a soft bristled brush to rub the stain, once you have given it a go, and have rubbed the stain out, rinse it with warm water. The whipped mixture will help you get rid of all and any stains which are on the fabric of the upholstery.

Watertown, Adams & Syracuse, The Ford Taurus Returns Rejuvenated & Stunning

Thu, 27 Mar 2014 20:03:00 EST

Ford Taurus

Although the recent offerings by the American manufacturer are turning heads all over the world, this wasn't always the case. During the last decade, Ford entered a period of stagnancy, probably due to complacent behavior stemming from an extended period of success since the company's advent. These last few years though, Ford has stepped up their game, finally being able to fight head to head with the big boys in the league today. The Ford Taurus is a classic example of this; the car was the darling of Americans during the 80s, but slid down into the abyss since then. Uninspired design and sluggish performance all but forced the car out of the market. The rejuvenated Ford Taurus on the other hand, is nothing if not astonishing!

Design: The Shift from Uninspired to Vibrant

Being unceremoniously kicked from the market back in the day, the Ford Taurus returns with a bang! Featuring a sporty design, the new facelift in quite impressive and is sure to turn heads on the streets as you zoom by. The new styling, inside and out, has fast become the deciding factor for the purchase of the Taurus, particularly in the American market. Adding to the already impressive exterior, the newly fitted interior appointments border on the luxurious!

Stimulating Performance

The fresh remake of the original Ford Taurus does away with the mediocre powertrain that guzzled fuel like no other! The new models are offered in several V6 engine options, ranging from a 2.0L turbocharged, to 2 different 3.5L V6 ones offering 290 hp and 365 hp respectively. For a car as large as the Taurus, the fuel economy is ridiculously impressive across all trims, an added benefit in these times of horrendous gas prices. Perfectly tuned, the Ford Taurus is a force to be reckoned with on the streets of Watertown, Adams and Syracuse!

Big on Capacity

The Ford Taurus is inherently large in size and is thus able to offer drivers with unrivaled space and capacity.

Wed, 25 Mar 2015 16:30:00 EST

2015 Ford F-150

Cleaning stains off leather seats and upholstery is not easy, and it is definitely something no Ford F-150 lover would want. The 2015 Ford F-150 is one of the most efficient and up to the mark truck and no one would want to think about it getting a stain! We at Fuccillo Ford Adams understand this concern which all the residents of Adams have, but we also have the solutions to your leather upholstery problems!

Cleaning Kit

There are certain cleaning kits which are specially designed for particular upholstery, just like that, for your 2015 Ford-150, there is a leather cleaning kit which you can find at most car stores or at the mechanic. You must remember that leather fabric is delicate, so you must be quite careful as you are trying to remove the stain. It is most susceptible to be fading or aging as compared to vinyl or fabric upholsteries. You can find the perfect and delicate cleaner along with the appropriate kit when you purchase it.

Car Heater

Sometimes, all you need to do is turn on your car's heater. Stains are much easier to get off with heat, when you turn your car's heater on. The leather seats get heated up, and when they are heated up, the stains may just come off!

Preventing Sunburns

When you are living in a climate which is too hot for humans to bear, imagine what effects the sun can have on the leather seat covers of your car. That is correct; the sun will give your leather seats sunburn! The first thing you will be required to do is preheat the seat with leather conditioner, once you do that, spray a bit of stain remover. The remover will help remove the stains from the covers which were caused by the waves of the scorching sun. You can then rub it off within 30 seconds.

Cleaner

You can simply go for the leather cleaner as well, it can be found at any car store you walk into. All you will need along with it is a soft cloth, which is stain-free so that you can easily rub the stains away without spreading them more.

This redesigned model has a luxurious interior setting equipped with the finest materials, from leather to top-quality cloth fittings and much more.
