The brand-new Sport V6 model of the 2017 Ford Fusion seems like it has it all!

For those who crave raw power from the moment their foot touches the pedals, the Fusion Sport packs a class-destroying 380 pound-feet of torque, and 325 horsepower.

Technophiles will adore the 20 available semi-autonomous driving aids, including a state-of-the-art Pre-Collision System with pedestrian detection, and a rarely-seen...

The newly redesigned 2017 Ford Fusion joined our inventory at Barbee's Freeway Ford Inc. earlier this summer, and the 325-horsepower Fusion Sport is due to arrive before the fall.

The 2017 Fusion has a number of elegant and ergonomic design cues, including narrower, more stylish headlights, a rotary-style gearshift, and cup holders that have moved 6-inches forward to be more easily accessible. The biggest change to write home about...

Strategic Vision recently announced the results of its Total Quality Impact™ (TQI) awards, and here at Barbee's Freeway Ford Inc. we were excited to see that, not only did three Ford models earn the top spot in their individual segments, but Ford was recognized in the corporation category as well...

If you're sick of the "same old same" that makes up much of the full-size crossover class, then your buds at Barbee's Freeway Ford Inc. feel you'd be wise to give the 2016 Ford Flex a good, long look.

What sets this utility hauler apart from the herd? Pair up with Autotrader pundit, Jabari Jones, in the clip below for a closer look:

In base form, the Flex is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 that's good for a decent 287 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission routes the juice to the…

A true king of the sports car class, the 2016 Ford Mustang is far and away one of our absolute favorites here at Barbee's Freeway Ford Inc.

Yet, what makes it so? Well, as luck would have it, that's precisely the question Autotrader critic, Jabari Jones, set out to answer in his recent video review of the Mustang. Check the clip below to learn of his findings:

Engine options for the Mustang begin with the base 3.7-liter V6. Producing a healthy 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, this six-banger will no doubt be a smart pick…

Ford is the first automaker to offer an LED strobe warning light kit as a factory-installed option, first available on the F-Series Super Duty, and now on the Ford F-150.

These strobe lights are visible to traffic up to 1,000 feet away during the day, and up to a mile at night. They were designed with the safety of working crews in mind. When the job site is close to the road, visibility to passing motorists is essential, and these strobing amber-lens LED lights act as a perfect supplement to warning signs and flares.

Unlike an aftermarket installation product…

There is some perception out there that steel is tougher than aluminum. Just let the words roll over your tongue. "Steel"... It sounds like nails pounding into a carpentry product. It smells like dirt and sweat. It looks like Chuck Norris.

"Aluminum" sounds like some flimsy thing you wrap corn in before throwing it on the grill.

Don't let a biased perception fool you when it comes to the facts.

Automakers can use a thicker gauge when using the lighter-weight aluminum, which resists denting better than steel in some cases.

The Ford Super Duty's chief engineer, Craig Schmatz…

We're closer than ever to a future in Denver, CO where we are going to have vehicles that are able to drive for long stretches on their own. Ford is among those looking to bring that technology to us all, and while we're close, all the bases have to be covered, including riding in the darkness.

Earlier this week, Ford announced a new partnership with Hertz rental company, reminiscent of the "Rent-A-Racer" program of the 1960s. Beginning Memorial Day, the performance-modified version of the 2016 Mustang, known as the Shelby GT-H, will be available for rent through the Hertz Adrenaline Collection at select airport locations in the United States...

More SUVs are coming! We’ll be adding 4 new nameplates to our global lineup in the next four years. #FordCAS #CAS16 pic.twitter.com/z92sn48lch

If Jerry Seinfeld were writing our blog posts, he might begin by saying, "What's the deal with all these SUVs?" Then he'd point out some clever bit of irony in the situation.

It does seem a bit ironic that Ford is adding four new SUV nameplates to the lineup when just about every class of SUV is already represented. There's the compact Ford Escape…
