All-electric SUVs are the future of the automotive industry. They offer a range of benefits over traditional gas-powered SUVs that are worth considering when making your next vehicle purchase. The new 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the thrill of driving an electric vehicle without sacrificing any of the features they love. So let's take a closer look at some of the key benefits of this vehicle. Photo Courtesy Edumunds more Overview of the Mach-E The Mach-E carries the Mustang title and descends from the Mach 1. It is a relatively new vehicle, with the first units hitting the market in late 2020. It's a 5-door coupé and classified as an all-electric compact crossover SUV. Over 27,000 Mach-E units were sold last year in the U.S. alone, and that number is only expected to grow as more people leave behind the era of gas vehicles. Unique Features The 2022 Mustang Mach-E introduces a number of new changes, including new colors like Iced Blue Silver and Cyber Orange. There's also a new Ice White package available for the top-tier trim that features a stunning Star White Metallic paint with sleek interior accents. Aside from that, here are some of our favorite features that you can get with the Mach-E. High-Tech Driver-Assistance Features Thanks to BlueCruise technology, you can drive the car hands-free on highways designated as "Hands-Free Blue Zones." The driver-facing camera ensures you've still got your eyes on the road, and the Co-Pilot360 System even adjusts your speed to maintain a safe following distance from the car in front of you. Fully-Electric with Improved Range You'll never spend another dime on gas again as the Mach-E is fully electric. The 2022 iteration also has a greater range, with the GT trim reaching 270 miles and the California Route 1 trim achieving up to 314 miles. Chock-Full of Amenities With the Comfort/Technology package, your Mach-E comes with a 360-degree camera. You also get a power liftgate, heated front seats and steering wheel, and 6-way seats with memory. The 15.5-inch touchscreen display with cloud-based connectivity keeps your system up to date with over-the-air software updates so that your vehicle improves as technology does! Innovative Design The Mach-E's E-Latch can sense when you're close to the vehicle and will illuminate a button on the door. Touch the button, and it the door opens. It also locks and unlocks automatically. Meanwhile, the panoramic glass room offers a broad view of the sky while its special coating helps regulate the temperature in the cabin, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer during the colder months. Last but not least, this vehicle comes with a frunk that accommodates 4.7 cubic feet of space!

There are plenty of loyal and powerful trucks on today's market, and the 2021 Ford F-150 remains one of the best. It has a lot of appeal for a myriad of buyers. Its torque and horsepower are admirable, and its heavy-duty build is one you can rely on. There are lots of other features that make this truck desirable, so let's check those out. Photo courtesy Pexels.com more 1. Its Power and Strength The Ford F-150's power is one of the best things about this truck. A 6.2-liter V8 engine is standard, and that engine produces 430 pound-feet of torque and 385 horsepower. This goes above and beyond what most standard engines can provide. However, there are several other engine options you can choose from, too, and this includes a turbodiesel option. The turbodiesel engine is a 6.7-liter V8 with 1,050 pound-feet of torque and 475 horsepower. 2. Its Terrain Optimization You'll feel much safer when you know your vehicle's performance is optimized for your driving circumstances. Slippery ground, deep sand or snow, and towing create different conditions for your driving, and not every truck is equipped to handle those conditions by default. That's why the Ford F-150 comes with modes for driving in the conditions stated above. There's also an eco mode for when you wish to maximize fuel efficiency. 3. Its Towing Capacity The Ford F-150 has an admirable max towing capacity of 37,000 pounds. This is one of the best towing capacities of any truck in its class. You can utilize this when your truck is equipped with a gooseneck hitch. If you want to make towing even more of a breeze, then the Pro Trailer Backup Assist will help you hitch up your trailer and reverse while hooked up to it. It grants you access to a knob that lets your truck know how you want it to maneuver your trailer. 4. Its Off-Roading Abilities Do you enjoy off-roading? If you do, then the Ford F-150 is a fantastic truck for you. Many of its trims have all-wheel drive to enhance traction on tricky terrain. There's also a Tremor Off-Road package to make driving on the trails even safer and easier. It has trail control and rock crawl mode, and it equips your truck with 35-inch tires. You can also ford water that's 33 inches deep with this package. 5. Its Safe Gear Storage If you have any valuable items you wish to keep in your cabin, then you're going to want to keep them as safe as possible. You can do this using the lockable under-seat box that's integrated into the cabin's floor. Potential thieves can't unlock the box, and they won't be able to easily rip it out of the floor and run away with it, either. Meanwhile, there's a BoxLink system with lockable storage in the truck bed if you want to transport valuable cargo there, too. If you want to check out the Ford F-150 in person, then you need to come to Reddick Brown Ford today. We'll get you behind the wheel of this fantastic truck.

Just the mention of pizza probably gets your juices flowing. It certainly makes our mouths water here at Reddick Brown Ford! Chain places are all well and good, but we can give you some insight into the best pizza to be had here in Morrison, TN and McMinnville, TN. Viola's Pizza Company Just about the best place in Morrison isn't quite in Morrison: it's located at 7 Lynn St in Viola, just nine miles southeast on 287. These people have a real passion for their pizza, and it shows. They are constantly crafting new pizzas and flavors, so it's worth checking them out regularly to see what's up. If you love meat, try the Tractor Pull. If you have vegetable lovers in your midst, the Valley Garden is a great choice. Their pizza salad is also a huge favorite of ours. more Begonias On 239 E Main St in McMinnville, Begonias is not just one of the best pizza places in the area: it's one of the best restaurants, full stop. The accomodating and friendly staff will make you feel welcome, and the craft beer selection alone is worth the trip. If you have a few brews, be sure to drink responsibly and never drink and drive. Just about everything is made in-house, and the "goat pizza" is something you really need to try. They also have great food that isn't pizza, but that's now why you're here. Just know that your whole crew will be satisfied, even if you have someone with you who doesn't really want pizza. Topz Frozen Yogurt Yes, you read that correctly: frozen yogurt. Topz is all about the amazing frozen desserts, of course, but don't let the name fool you: their brick-oven pizza and deli options are worth the visit even if you never take a bite of their frozen yogurt. They also cook some of their sandwiches in the brick oven! Try the All That Jazz pizza, which offers peppers, onions, mushrooms, pepperoni, and sausage. Their special pizza sauce is out of this world, but the pesto sauce on the Vegetarian Delight is just as good, in our opinion. Try the Santa Fe pizza if you're in the mood for something different and spicy. Rafael's Italian When you're in the mood for some classic thin-crust pizza, Rafael's should be your destination. This locally-owned spot has great food and service to match. You might notice that they serve everything in disposable containers: that's just because they don't have a commercial-grade washing system and have to meet health code regulations. Don't let the disposable containers fool you: this is no fast-food joint. Their veggie pizza is the standout here, but we also recommend trying the Tour of Italy, which includes a taste of lots of different things. The lasagna is also very nice here. When you've eaten your fill, come see us at Reddick Brown Ford to see what we have in stock or get Tennessee's best service on your vehicle! https://www.reddickbrownford.com/searchnew.aspx Image via pexels.com.

Auto High-Beam Headlamps Poor lighting conditions can make driving at night tough, but Ford's Auto High-Beam Headlamps help keep visibility high. These headlamps turn on automatically when sensors indicate they're needed and will dim accordingly if they detect oncoming traffic so as not to hinder the eyesight of other drivers. Keeping both hands on the steering wheel and both eyes on the road are always the goal of Ford's safety features. 5. Lane-Keeping System Keeping your car's position between detected road lines is achieved by high-tech scanners and sensors used in Ford's Lane-Keeping System. This feature sends an alert if you begin to drift unintentionally out of your lane, and will encourage you to pull over to take a break from driving if you have drifted several times. 6. Rear View Camera Having a clear view of things behind you is imperative to ensuring any obstacles are detected.
