It's summer, so don't let a vehicle breakdown ruin your fun in the sun.

Prepare yourself with a roadside emergency kit so you can stay safe while making fixes or waiting for help to arrive. This kit could be the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major problem.

Roadside emergency kits come premade or you can collect items and assemble one yourself (we find this to be the cheaper option).

Not sure what you should have in your kit? Here are…

Have you been hunting for a midsize sedan for you and yours? Well, if so, we here at Louisburg Ford feel you may well meet your match in ours, the 2017 Fusion.

What makes us say that, though?

Get the need-to-know info from Kelley Blue Book Managing Video Editor Micah Muzio; his assessment of the Fusion is available right here:

When it comes to the Fusion's turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 engine, high-octane performance is the name of the game.

Syncing with a six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, the turbo-V6 churns out a colossal 325 horsepower and 380…

The bulky, full-sized Ford Expedition has always been an SUV with a classic "old school" feel. Far from the car-based crossovers popular with modern drivers for their easy handling and efficiency, the Expedition is an SUV built like a truck—with all the pros and cons that go with it.

Its body-on-frame chassis trades out the baby-soft ride and fuel economy of a unibody SUV for resilience over rugged off-road terrain

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

With spring in the air and summer not far behind, a fresh crop of Louisville High School seniors are getting ready for their diplomas. Dr. Seuss's classic Oh, The Places You'll Go! is a graduation favorite, and a source of inspiration for many about to embark on a journey far from home.

But it's not just about…

For the 2017 Ford C-Max Energi, the EPA-estimated MPGe is given as 104 city/87 highway. But what exactly does that mean? That is a good question, and many Louisburg drivers are wondering what MPGe is, and if it is the same as MPG.

MPGe stands for Miles Per Gallon Equivalent, and it doesn't tell you anything about how much gasoline a vehicle burns. Instead, MPGe provides information on how efficiently a vehicle's electric engine uses energy—electric energy.

Why use MPGe?

While the term MPGe runs the risk of being confused for a gas-mileage rating, it came…

Mid-cycle refreshes are usually on the minimal end of things, depending on the automaker. But with Ford, who has so many different vehicles that are important to so many, they often go the extra mile. That’s the case with the 2018 Mustang, which got visual, powertrain, drivetrain, technology, and interior tweaks for the upcoming model year.

If your new-car search has led you to the full-size crossover class, we here at Louisburg Ford think you might like to have a look at ours, the 2017 Explorer.

And why's that?

It is at this point we'd like pass the baton to our buds at MotorWeek. Join them in the clip below for a closer look at the Explorer:

A turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is optional on the Base and XLT trims.

Mating with a six-speed automatic transmission, this turbo-four boasts a beefy 280 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. It receives front-wheel drive as…

So, it's time to change your motor oil, but do you know what kind it takes? There's more than one choice? There are choices like synthetic, conventional, and a synthetic blend. So how do you know which one is for you? You can find out the specific recommended oil in your owner's manual, but you can always consult with your oil change specialist if you still have questions or are unsure. But, you can really just figure it out based on a few factors...
