You might be surprised how many drivers in Phoenix choose an SUV for the sake of their dogs. Ford's diverse SUV and crossover lineup has a lot to offer pet-parents, from stain-resistant upholstery, to spacious cargo volume and second- and third-row seats that fold down.

Despite having plenty of room for your dog, though, are they safe if you get in a crash?

The truth is, while most humans are diligent about buckling up, very few people secure their pets, and that is the biggest danger to them. It doesn't take a highway-speed accident to do serious damage…

More and more drivers in Phoenix and across the United States are making the jump from trucks and sedans to SUVs. Not only are they switching to SUVs, they're sticking with them. A consumer data analysis from earlier this year found that around two-thirds of SUV owners shopping for new cars earlier this year, bought replacement SUVs. Looking at the overall auto industry as a whole, there isn't another vehicle type that can match that.

SUVs like the 2017 Ford Explorer present a solid picture of why this trend is rising.

Are you shopping the midsize sedan segment for your next automotive purchase?  Well, if so, we here at Camelback Ford Lincoln think you may well find your ideal fit in ours, the 2017 Fusion.

The entire 454,000-square-foot roof of the Ford Rouge Complex is planted with Sedum -- a type of succulent that stores water efficiently in its leaves. These plants can hold up to an inch of rainwater, reducing runoff, and filtering any water that does run off the roof.

While the living roof supports the local watershed, the bees help the Sedum plants thrive. Helping the bees thrive is Mary Mason, a product design engineer for Ford, who became the company's…

On a hot Phoenix summer drive, wouldn't it be nice if there was always a supply of fresh drinking water beside you? If your air conditioner is running, then your car is already creating water via condensation. On especially humid days, this could amount to over half a gallon per hour!

Currently, this condensation is dumped out onto the road, but one day new Ford vehicles may be…

In the halcyon days of SUVs, they were based off of a brand’s formidable truck lineup. But these days, the platforms are usually derived from cars, hence “crossovers.” But the 2016 Ford Explorer, recently updated for this model year, is no such beast. Large and brawny, it backs up its legacy of beast mode with some pretty impressive options.

In a press release from Ford earlier this week, the automaker announced a new EcoBoost engine option for the 2017 Ford F-150. The 3.5-liter V-6 improves its torque rating to 470 pound-feet, 50 pound-feet more than its predecessor. That's more than all diesel- and gasoline-powered competitors, including V-8 engines with nearly twice the displacement...
