The all-new 2017 Ford C-MAX may be a compact vehicle, but that doesn't mean that you can't bring everything that you need along for the ride. The makers of the 2017 C-MAX knew that you'd have children, friends to take out for a night on the town, and other important cargo that you'd have to transport for work or just for fun. This is why the C-MAX is one of the most spacious vehicles in it's class. Hailed for its "best in class cargo volume" the 2017 C-MAX provides five passenger seating. The second row…

Or that asphalt and concrete perform completely differently, depending on the weather conditions? Tom Yager, a senior research scientist at NASA’s Langley Research Center, detailed the reasons why as he recently explained the science behind highway design.

In winter weather, it’s crucially important to ensure that your tires keep maximum contact with the road. Because even the best highways can be dangerous when sleet, snow and slush create a thin coating of water between the road and your tires, maintaining traction will help keep you safer on winter roads.

Here’s some advice for getting through winter:

When Ford first began rolling out electric and hybrid vehicles a number of years ago, some of us here at Lithia Ford of Missoula, like many of you out there, were a little bit hesitant.

Ford done some pretty wild things when it comes to integrating sustainable practices into its current model lineup. From using soy foam in almost all of its vehicles, to using REPREVE fabric for the seating of the new 2016 F-150, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. Ford even went so far as to use coconut fibers to create durable, eco-friendly truck bed liners. However, now Ford stands poised to pioneer a new frontier of sustainability, and clean up the atmosphere while doing so!

Happy Earth Day folks! Here at Lithia Ford of Missoula, we know that eco-friendliness is on every car buyer's mind, which why today we'd like to highlight some things Ford is doing with its new 2016 F-150 at its Dearborn, Michigan plant to lower overall carbon emissions and produce a more efficient breed of truck.

“I want to be a doctor when I grow up.”

How many times have you heard that statement by a child? Few will actually go on to become a physician, but those who do need a lot of determination to get there. Bernhard Schonsee, a urologist, has enjoyed his work helping people for many years. It’s time, however, to seek out a different career path now.

The doctor has always, in fact, wanted to be a professional chef. Along with his girlfriend, who works in the food industry, Bernhard has long-term plans to open a restaurant someday.

The racing season got off to a great start for Ford last Friday, as a pair of Mustang-inspired Shelby GT350R-C race cars swept the top two podium spots in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, at Daytona International Speedway. It was the car's first win at Daytona.

Drivers Billy Johnson and Scott Maxwell earned their second win as a duo in the GT350R-C...
