State Fair of Texas: Ford Unveils New Special Edition SUVs

2019 Ford Expedition Stealth Edition (Black)

2019 Ford Expedition Stealth Edition (Black)

At Planet Ford in Spring, we all know know everything is bigger in Texas, including our customers need for sport utility vehicles. Across the United States the demand for SUVs is up, but it’s even more so from  Houston to El Paso, which makes the Lone Star State crucial to automakers’ SUV portfolios.

To celebrate that SUV-size success and being the best-selling vehicle brand in Texas, Ford Motor Co. is unveiling to the State Fair of Texas crowds four new special edition SUVs designed to give buyers a larger selection of options in the vehicles they already love.

The SUVs won’t be available for order until later this year, but that gives you plenty of time to figure out exactly which one best fits you! The models are as follows:

Expedition Stealth Edition features gloss-black accessories for a cool yet upscale appearance over the current Limited series. It rolls on 22-inch premium black-painted aluminum wheels and includes continuously controlled damping. Gloss-black features include grille, mirror caps, roof rails, running boards, tailgate appliqué, rear bumper skid plate and hitch cover, headlamp housing, fog lamp bezels and taillamp housing. Black “Expedition” badging adorns the front, while the tailgate features a black “Limited” badge. Door handles are body color, and red interior stitching accents the interior

Expedition Texas Edition adds 22-inch wheels and new Texas Edition badging to build upon the existing Special Edition Package available for Limited models that already offers a collection of features to make hauling, towing and parking easier. These include the Cargo Package, Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package and enhanced active park assist

Explorer Limited Luxury Edition offers available appearance upgrades on the Limited series. Explorer owners can opt for 20-inch premium painted machined aluminum wheels, multi-contour seats with Active Motion®, Nirvana leather seats with micro-perforation, an upgraded leather steering wheel, door trim with leather inserts and chrome mirror caps

Explorer Desert Copper Edition upgrades an XLT model to include 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, chrome mirror caps, Ebony Black leather-trimmed first- and second-row seats and door trim panel. The interior features copper highlights and stitching and Ebony Black vinyl third-row seats with copper accents

By expanding choices in its large SUV lineup, Ford looks to continue offering more of the vehicles that consumers say they want. More and more drivers are turning away from traditional sedans in favor of larger trucks and SUVs that offer more space, amenities and capability.

“People want SUVs, they’ve told us that,” Patterson said. “Whether an adventure-minded individual, a couple who needs room to haul home improvement supplies or a family loading up for a trip across the country, SUVs are in demand. Ford wants to have an SUV available that caters to any circumstance.”

Now is the time to upgrade to a great Ford SUV. Let Planet Ford’s award-winning team help you find the right car, truck or SUV at the right price. Take the drive on I-45 to Louetta in Spring (serving The Woodlands, Houston, Aldine, Cypress, Conroe) or shop online at PlanetFord45.com!

All-New Trail Control Feature Coming to 2019 Ford Raptor

Planet Ford in Spring friends, we have great news for all of our Ford F-150 Raptor lovers and off-road enthusiasts! The new 2019 is adding a cool new feature – Trail Control. It is much like the handy-dandy cruise control that you use on the highway, but this is spec for all your off-road adventures.

How Trail Control Works

The new Ford feature will manage throttle and braking so the driver can focus on steering through a variety of challenging off-road conditions. This is the kind of innovation that will  make taking a Raptor out into rough terrain more fun than ever.

Activate Ford’tastic Fun!

The Ford Raptor is the only pickup that will let drivers operate Trail Control in all 4×4 modes. The new feature helps overcome steep obstacles by automatically directing torque to each wheel then braking to smoothly bring the truck down on the other side.

The Ford Raptor is the only truck that will let the driver to operate Trail Control in all 4×4 modes and can be made active from 1 mph up to 20 mph.  This new feature will be able to assist drivers as they encounter steep obstacles. It automatically directs torque to each wheel and then brakes to bring the pickup back down on the other side. Hitting extreme sand? The new feature can help dig struck trucks out of those sandy situations.

Coming Soon to Planet Ford in Spring!

The upgraded 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor is scheduled to be available in late 2018. More great news for Ford Ranger fans, word is that Trail Control also will be available on the all-new 2019 Ranger, arriving in dealer showrooms in early 2019.

Congratulations to Jesse Gutierrez, #PlanetFordWhisperer Contest Winner

Planet Ford in Spring, Texas congratulates the latest Planet Ford Whisperer grand prize contest winner, Jesse Gutierrez, for his winning video entry featuring his son, Little Jesse. In the video, Little Jesse calls for Randall Reed, the Ford Whisperer to help him raise awareness for childhood cancer.

Mr. Gutierrez’s son, Jesse, has been in remission for two years as of this September. Thus, the family hoped to help promote September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by creating the Planet Ford Whisperer video. The family now plans to use the new Ford F-150 to help with a foundation the family is creating called Jesse’s Fight Club, to transport items for local hospitals and help families with children battling cancer.

Planet Ford Announcement Celebration 

The announcement and celebration of the #PlanetFordWhisperer finalist and grand prize winner was held at our Planet Ford sister store in Humble this past Saturday. The 10 “starring” finalists were brought up to share their Planet Ford Whisperer entries. Some of the contest entries included: a Ford crime fighter, a man who loved Ford so much he became a car, a Ford’tastic fire fighter, Ford Whisperer rappers and kids who love their Fords as much as their parents do.

The Ford Whispering contestants entered by registering at PlanetFordWhisperer.com, where they submitted a video or photo essay of their own Ford Whisperer tale. Once an entry was submitted, contestants gained more attention by sharing on social media with the #PlanetFordWhisperer and #FordWhisperer hashtags and by getting friends and family to vote.

Previous Planet Ford Whisperer Contest Winners

Michael Page and Liz Aronson, winners of the 1st Planet Ford Whisperer contest, pose with Randall and Sherry Reed.

This is the second dream Ford giveaway contest. In May, Randall Reed “The Ford Whisperer” gave away two dream Fords as part of the Planet Ford in Spring Grand Opening. Michael Page drove home with a Ford Shelby GT350, while Liz Aronson won the Ford F-150 Raptor.

The Planet Ford Whisperer contest is part of Mr. Reed’s Ford Whisperer campaign created in celebration of a historic Ford first: every single World Class Automotive Ford dealership receiving the Ford Triple Crown in the same year. In addition, the family-owned dealership is celebrating Mr. Reed being the seventh inductee ever into Ford’s Top Sales Volume Dealer Hall of Fame.

“We’re incredibly proud of this unprecedented achievement,” said Mr. Reed. “In addition, Planet Ford is celebrating being a six-time consecutive Triple Crown and President’s Award winner.” Since the inception of the Triple Crown, only 78 dealers have achieved the distinction, with less than half a percent winning it on an annual basis. “This incredible accompaniment recognizes their well-deserved commitment to their communities, charities, customers, employees and Ford Motor Company,” said Dianne C. Craig, Director of U.S. Sales for Ford.

Planet Ford is Celebrating the 10 Millionth Mustang Sold

The 10 millionth Mustang was sold from Ford.

Planet Ford in Spring celebrates the iconic Ford Mustang every day, but this month is extra special. Ford is celebrating the production of its 10 millionth Mustang. Yes, you read that right. At Planet Ford, on I-45, we have sold thousands of ‘Stangs, but to think of millions roaming this earth over the course of 50-plus years. Click to shop inventory here.

Can you guess what takes the pride in being the 10 million Mustang? That right, the new 2019 Mustang Bullitt, and it’s at Planet Ford’s Dealership in Spring, Texas.

10 Millionth Mustang Sold. Mustang Bullitt Animated GIF

This powerful number 10,000,000,000 ‘Stang features a 460 horsepower 2019 Wimbledon White GT V8 six-speed manual convertible dressed with the latest driver assist technology and built at the Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan.

“Mustang is the heart and soul of this company and a favorite around the world,” said Jim Farley, president of global markets, Ford Motor Company. “I get the same thrill seeing a Mustang roll down a street in Detroit, London or Beijing that I felt when I bought my first car – a 1966 Mustang coupe that I drove across the country as a teenager. Mustang is a smile-maker in any language.”

50 years and counting for being America’s best-selling sports car, based on Ford analysis of 1966-2018 total U.S. new vehicle cumulative registrations for all sports car segments supplied by IHS Markit.

You Must Have a MUSTANG. 

The 2019 Mustang is making its mark in history with being equipped with the latest in Ford technology roaring inside and out. With two new available features: active valve performance exhaust on the 2.3L EcoBoost® engine, and the revolutionary B&O PLAY™ Premium Audio System by HARMAN.

Celebrating the 10 millionth Mustang sold

Three engines. Two Transmission. Five performance settings. You can go from a whisper to a roar with the controllable exhaust. The 2.3L EcoBoost engine in this Mustang delivers 310 horsepower and 350 lbs.-ft. of torque.

It Keeps Getting Better:

All 5.0-liter V8 2019 Mustangs with manual transmissions offer rev-matching downshifts come to the six-speed Mustang GT, while EcoBoost® gets an optional quad-tip fully active exhaust. All-new custom-tuned 1,000-watt B&O PLAY high-performance sound system and available Apple CarPlay™ compatibility for Ford+Alexa and Waze via SYNC® 3 will satisfy audiophiles.

Mustang Shelby GT350® ascends to a new level of greatness on the track and off with custom-engineered Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, plus recalibrated ABS and MagneRide™ suspension for dramatically improved traction and lateral acceleration. Other highlights include new interior appointments and optional factory-painted stripes. An available tech package includes all-new custom-tuned, high-performance 12-speaker sound from B&O PLAY, plus heated mirrors with Blind Spot Information System and Cobra puddle lamps.

The Ford Mustang is now in its sixth generation. In addition to its sales leadership, the Mustang page has more likes on Facebook than any other vehicle nameplate.

Visit your Planet Ford Dealership in Spring, Texas (serving Greater Houston, Cypress, The Woodlands and Conroe) located off I-45 to get your next Pony Car, and be a part of the legacy of the Ford Mustang.
