Car repairs: it happens to everyone at some point, and if you’re a car owner, it will surely happen to you. Repairs aren’t the issue, though, counterfeit and aftermarket parts are. When you get your Ford car, truck, or SUV serviced, you want to be sure you’re choosing genuine Ford replacement parts for your vehicle. You may think all parts were created equally, but it’s just not so. Ford has produced a short video on why it’s important to choose Ford replacement parts for repairs and maintenance, check it out below!

Finding the perfect new Ford vehicle should come with a sense of excitement, but for many new car shoppers, the auto financing options can be confusing, even daunting. Here at Richmond Ford Lincoln, we don’t want the car-shopping process to feel scary, so we’re bringing you this short Auto Finance 101 video from Ford to help demystify some of the biggest differences between leasing and buying. Check it out below!

It's pretty widely know that when it comes to making vehicles for those who love to work hard, no one does it better than Ford. But what about folks who love to work hard, and play hard? Well, as it turns out, Ford has you covered there too. Today, Ford released a teaser video for its upcoming 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out now and try not to drool on your keyboard.

If you asked us at Richmond Ford Lincoln what we like best about our full-size SUV, the recently refreshed 2016 Ford Explorer, we'd have but one word to offer in reply:

Everything.

So, with that out of the way, we'd like to now link the following video. Join Autotrader reviewer, Jabari Jones, as he provides you with the need-to-know info about the made-over Explorer:

In our mind, base models don't get a whole heck of a lot better than the Explorer's.

Standard features on this trim include 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlamps, rear privacy glass…

When Kela Holmes was in college, she dreamed of a career as an opera singer. Life, however, threw her a curveball. Unable to afford to continue on at school, Kela instead joined the military.

While she regretted the fact that she’d never know what it was like to connect with audiences from a stage, she knew she was serving another important role: that of soldier and protector.

There's nothing quite like a hard-hitting pothole to put a damper on your morning commute. Not only do they make for an unpleasant jolt in your traveling experience, but they can actually cause serious damage to your vehicle--particularly when you don't see them coming, or aren't able to brace yourself in time.

But there's good news for midsize sedan drivers from Ford: on the upcoming 2017 Ford Fusion Sport model, an all-new, class-exclusive pothole mitigation system can help to protect you and your beloved car against pesky potholes.

We've seen sport trims on midsize sedans before, but never like this. At this year's Detroit Auto Show, the Blue Oval did more than unveil its refreshed, 2017 Fusion sedan. It also unveiled the Fusion Sport, which clocks in with a metric trunk-load of power and performance chops that's certain to leave competing models in the proverbial dust.

Have you ever been in a parking lot, cleaning your car free of leaves or snow and felt a presence? You could tell that someone was watching you, but as you glanced around, saw no one. Continuing to clean the car, you whistle a tune, stopping now and then to stretch and glance around subtly.

That’s when you see him. Crouched in the shadow of the big, gnarled oak tree nearby. He’s watching you intently, dark eyes shining in the dim early morning light. Not a would-be attacker, not a mugger or predator, but a … squirrel.

If you're considering the popular -- and increasingly populous -- midsize crossover class for your next automotive purchase, you may've found that you need some help. After all, combing through the scores of available options isn't always easy.

With that said, we at Richmond Ford Lincoln are quick to recommend to you ours, the 2015 Ford Edge. And Autotrader reviewer, Jabari Jones, is here to tell you why:

We've got to hand it to our beloved American brand; the Edge's base model -- the SE -- is an absolute beaut.

We at Richmond Ford Lincoln can't quite get over what our esteemed American automaker did with the all-new 2016 Ford Explorer. Nor do we want to. This delightful daily driver is a dream from which we never want to wake up.

Have you had a chance to scope it with your own two? Well, if not, take a moment to do just that right now:

This three-row crossover is offered in five distinctive trim levels. And for most consumers, the generously appointed base model should no doubt do the trick.
