Let’s face it, in this ever-evolving world we are always on the go. According to multiple new studies, the average American spends roughly 18 days total in their car a year. If you’re going to spend that long in a car, why not make sure it’s clean? Here at McLarty Daniel Ford in Bentonville, we have put together a list of the easiest ways to keep your car’s interior clean while on the go.

Daily maintenance

Perhaps one of the easiest ways to keep your car clean is to declutter it. Let’s face it, we all have a pile of water bottles in our passenger seat, but instead of tossing the next one into the pile once you reach your destination, take a minute and pick up anything that doesn’t belong in your car. Whether that means throwing away that mountain of water bottles or even putting fast food trash in the garbage, by doing this daily you’ll save yourself from having to clean up a massive mess in the future.

Vacuum

Vacuuming your car consistently prevents carpets from becoming stained or discolored, which ultimately could result in a higher resale value. Not only can vacuuming help with resale value, but it can also remove particles of dirt and allergens from your car’s interior, giving you a cleaner and healthier space.

Wipe it down

We recommend carrying a microfiber cloth in your vehicle, so you can wipe down your dash as it becomes dusty over time. Keeping a microfiber towel in your car can also help you wipe out any crumbs within the cup holders and remove any fingerprints that may accumulate on your vehicle’s touchscreen infotainment center.

Crystal clear

If you happen to take your car through a carwash, you’ll see immediate results with a shiny exterior, but once you pull out of that lot, you may notice smudges and smears on the interior windows that the carwash couldn’t get. We recommend once you wash the exterior of your car to also follow up with a glass cleaning solution on the interior windows as well.

Once you’ve taken care of the interior, let us take care of your vehicle’s engine! If you live in Centerton, Bella Vista, Bentonville, Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, Pea Ridge, Springdale or Rogers and are interested in scheduling a service appointment or even inspection or tune-up, swing by McLarty Daniel Ford and let us take care of you!

Whether for work or play, we know you’ve come to rely on the ability of the Ford F-150 to be in it for the long haul. The all-new 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is no different. For nearly 44 years, Ford F-series trucks have been America’s best-selling pickups, but at Ford, they have rethought what a truck can be. The Ford Lightning is the first-ever F-series that’s gas-free and all-electric, offering advanced technology and an elevated driving experience, all while being built Ford tough.

With zero to 60 miles per hour in around four seconds, the Ford Lightning lives up to its name.

Standard models have a range of 230 miles, while an extended battery will provide you with roughly 300 miles of range. Not only is the F-150 Lightning fast when it comes to speed, but it also offers fast charging times with 30 miles per charging hour.

In terms of design, the F-150 Lightning resembles its relatives in the F-150 family; however, you may notice strip lighting both in the front of the truck as well as on the tailgate. One feature that sets this truck apart from the others is its front trunk, a frunk if you will. It has what Ford calls “a power frunk” where the engine would typically be in addition to a standard truck bed, offering drivers more storage than ever. You’ll also be able to find 11 total power outlets throughout the vehicle, which is perfect for work sites as well as even powering your house during a power outage.

In terms of technology, Ford has once again raised the bar with its 15.5-inch touch screen as well as the new Ford BlueCruise, which offers totally hand-free driving technology that’s currently only found in the Mustang Mach-E.

Prices for the Ford F-150 Lightning range between trim levels. The standard model starts at $39,974, while the most expensive model will start at $90,474. No fear, customers looking to purchase a Ford F-150 Lightning can expect a federal tax credit which would mark the vehicle’s price down by $7,500.

Your tires help get your vehicle from point A to point B, support the vehicle load, and are essential for braking and traction. But when you think of routine maintenance you probably only think of bringing your vehicle in for an oil change. With that being said, tires can also be a vital part of your vehicle’s routine maintenance. With so much riding on your vehicle tires, it’s important to know when to replace them. Here McLarty Daniel we have put together a list of the top four signs that you need new tires.

Out with the old in with the new

A lot of factors go into determining how long your tires should last due to different grades in manufacturing, there’s no one specific lifespan of a tire. However, most car manufacturers agree that your vehicle’s tire should be replaced six years after their installation date regardless of how many miles are on them, this is simply due to the fact that elements can weaken the material that your tires are made of making them unsafe to drive on.

Racking up the miles

As with age, there’s no set specific amount of miles that your tires can or will go before they need to be replaced. However, most tire manufacturers suggest tires will need to be replaced before 60,000 miles due to the weakening of material from driving conditions and the elements.

Damage

If your tires are damaged in any way, you should consider replacing them immediately as damage to your tires could lead to a possible blowout. The most common types of tire damage are sidewall cuts and punctures, impacted breaks or bulges and even irregular wear.

Everyday wear

Perhaps the most common reason that tires will need to be replaced is simply everyday wear. It is dangerous to drive on worn tires as it increases the chance of a blowout, increases the chances of hydroplaning, and decreases the handling of your vehicle. The simplest way to check and see if your tread is considered worn is by inserting a penny into the tread. Face the head side towards you and see how much of Abraham Lincoln’s head you can see, if you can see all of it, then it is time for new tires.

If you’re still unsure if your tires need to be replaced, schedule your service appointment today at McLarty Daniel Ford and we’ll check it out for you. If they do need to be replaced — don’t fear! We can help you find the perfect tires for your vehicle and get you back on the road all in the same day!

Almost a year ago, Ford shocked the world with its announcement that the iconic Bronco would be returning to the streets once again. This announcement sparked the interest of many nostalgic Americans from all over. During the announcement, Ford showcased the new 2021 Bronco that comes with six standard new trims. This left many potential buyers trying to figure out which trim would be best for them. Here at McLarty Daniel Ford, we have broken down the differences between the trim levels of the all-new Ford Bronco to make your life a little easier.

The interesting thing about the 2021 Ford Bronco is that, unlike other vehicles, the six different Bronco trims are for specific purposes. Each also has a unique name to match and of course, every trim level comes with its own unique features as well as cost.

The Base Level

Like other Ford vehicles, the 2021 Bronco does offer a base model which has a starting price of around $29,000 for the two-door option and $34,000 for the four-door option. Sporting a four-wheel-drive system and a 2.3 liter EcoBoost boost engine as well as the five G.O.A.T modes (go over anything mode). The base Bronco is for people who are looking to customize and add on to their Ford Bronco themselves rather than buying one with pre-existing bells and whistles.

The Bronco Big Bend

The Bronco Big Bend offers more technology and comfort features than you would see in many of the other Ford vehicles. Of course, you will receive all of the features that you would on the base model, but you’ll also begin to see some add-ons on the exterior such as 17-inch aluminum wheels and six G.O.A.T modes. Buyers can expect a price point of around $34,000 on this specific model.

The Bronco Black Diamond

This specific Ford Bronco trim focuses on more off-roading features. This trim level is when you’ll begin to see additional colors being added, rubberized flooring, a heavier duty front bumper, a steel rear bumper, rock rails and even heavy-duty bash plates. In addition to these upgraded off-roading features, you also get seven G.O.A.T modes. Customers looking to purchase the Bronco Black Diamond can expect a price tag of around $37,000.

The Bronco Outer Banks Edition

The Outer Banks trim of the Bronco is much like the Bronco Black Diamond, however, you’ll begin to see upgraded headlights and taillights, additional colors, and even a bigger steering wheel. With this trim, you’ll also begin to see more tech features added such as the Ford Co-pilot 360 Safety Suite and even remote start.

The Bronco Wildtrak

Starting at $50,000 the Wildtrak Bronco adds 35-inch terrain tires, fender flares, and different trail traction control. Buyers will also receive an advanced 4×4 system and seven G.O.A.T modes.

The Bronco Badlands

The Bronco Badlands is considered by Ford to be the ultimate off-roading Bronco. It is very similar to the Big Bend, but it does feature seven G.O.A.T modes as well as 33-inch all-terrain tires and a pretty awesome unique suspension with a front stabilizer bar disconnect. Customers looking at this model can expect to see a price tag of around $43,000.
