There’s a new F-150 Raptor coming soon and we here at Formula Ford Lincoln are practically on the edge of our seats with anticipation for it! That said, we’re a little envious of the guys at The Fast Lane for being able to test drive one early, but we can’t be too upset since they give us some details on updates the 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor offers. From additional exterior color options to a new Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, you can expect this Raptor to be the best one yet.

While we wait for more details, we welcome one and all to come out to see us here at our Rutland, VT dealership today! With so many cars, crossovers, SUVs, and trucks to explore in our lineup of current new Ford models, your dream vehicle could be just around the corner. Drop by and discover driving bliss!

If you’re seeking a sports car for your next daily driver, please allow your pals here at Formula Ford Lincoln to offer a word of advice:

Give ours — the 2017 Mustang — a try. This is one vehicle that’s sure to tick just about every box on your short list.

Wondering what those boxes are? Then, join carwow critic Mat Watson in the clip below. He’s here to explain it all:

While not quite as muscular as the top-tier trims, the base Mustang is nevertheless an animal.

Motivated by a 3.7-liter V6, the entry-level iteration produces a peppy 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Available transmissions include a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic.

And while it’s all a matter of personal taste, we tend to prefer the manual option as it provides a truly dialed-in driving experience.

To learn more about this dazzling dynamo, or to take one for a spin, we suggest you set a course for our Rutland, VT location. Our automotive aces are on hand to address your every query about the Mustang, or any other Ford model within the current lineup.

Recent college grads occupy a unique position in the car buying community — they often have a new job and enough money to consider a new car. But they can’t afford a fully loaded luxury machine. The challenge is to find a vehicle that balances affordability with comfort and performance.

We recommend the 2017 Ford Fiesta. This compact strikes the affordability/comfort/performance balance brilliantly. Here are a few of the reasons the 2017 Fiesta is a favorite for many recent grads:

Efficiency

All engine options for the 2017 Fiesta offer great efficiency to keep you and your wallet away from gas stations. For the best gas mileage, the 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine can get up to 41 mpg highway. Even the 197-horsepower engine in the performance-focused Fiesta ST can achieve 33 mpg highway.

Convenience

It may not be the largest car, but the Fiesta Hatchback uses the space it has efficiently. Whether you’re moving out of a dorm or into an urban apartment, the Fiesta hatchback has the space you need. Pop the hatch, fold down the seats, throw in your boxes or luggage, and be on your way.

Amenities

Just because it’s a compact doesn’t mean the 2017 Fiesta lacks comfort. Available heated leather seats will keep you comfortable during cold weather. Ford’s new Sync 3 system gives control and access to a variety of features like hands-free calling and navigation. Available audio from Sony will make it seem like you’re sitting in the room with your favorite podcast.

Value

You’ll get a lot of car for the money with a 2017 Fiesta. Both the Fiesta sedan and Fiesta hatchback start at just under $14,000. That’s less than either Honda Fit or Chevrolet Sonic.
