2013 Ford Escape

Take a look at the new 2013 Escape at Anderson Auto Group. Located in Lincoln, NE
The 2013 Escape has an eco-friendly side. For example, there are two available EcoBoost® engines that are designed to be efficient. In fact, the 1.6L EcoBoost engine delivers 33 highway mpg, the best automatic highway fuel economy in its class.* Seat cushion and head restraint foam is derived from soybeans. Carpet in all models is produced using a blend of post-industrial fibers and post-consumer fibers derived from recycled plastic bottles. Even the shape of the Escape and the use of the Active Grille Shutters helps make the vehicle more aerodynamic for enhanced fuel economy.

*EPA-estimated 23 city/33 hwy/26 combined mpg, 1.6L I-4 EcoBoost automatic FWD. Class is Small Utilities with automatic transmissions vs. 2012/2013 competitors.

Available EcoBoost® technology

Take your choice of the available 1.6L EcoBoost I-4 engine – which delivers 33 highway mpg, the best automatic highway fuel economy in its class –* or the available 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 engine. Compared to a standard port-injection engine, available EcoBoost® technology helps produce a cooler, denser fuel injection charge that generates more power per every drop of fuel. Twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) maximizes performance, while two different technologies – turbocharging and direct injection – combine to deliver the performance of a much larger engine with the efficiency of a smaller one.

*EPA-estimated, FWD. Class is Small Utilities vs. 2012/2013 competitors.

Cargo capacity

Simply fold down both rear seat backs for a flat load surface to transport items large and small. With enhanced cargo capacity — 67.8 cu. ft. of space with rear seats folded — Escape can easily accommodate almost anything you want to carry. Don’t need all that space? Fold down either side of the 60/40 split rear seat and you can still seat one or two rear passengers and have additional cargo room. If you’re carrying items such as luggage, leave the seats up and you have 34.3 cu. ft. of space. On select models, the load floor is adjustable. Set it in the high position and you have a flat load floor when the seats are folded down. In its low position, you’ll have additional cargo room. There’s even a storage area in the second-row passenger-side footwell for small items.

Buying a full-size pickup?

Take a look at the new 2013 Ford F-150 at Anderson Auto Group. Located in Lincoln, NE
Here are some hard facts to think about: The F-150 can tow a heavier trailer (11,300 lbs.) and haul more cargo (3,120 lbs.) than any of its competitors.* The F-150 has a fully boxed frame that’s the foundation of all this great capability. And it’s engineered and tested to withstand more punishment than you could ever subject it to. The F-150 is Built Ford Tough® to come through with the capability you expect in this full-size pickup from Ford, day in and day out.

2013 Ford F-150 Fuel-Efficient Technology

How does an engine achieve impressive fuel economy and at the same time deliver excellent performance? Advanced technology is a big part of the answer – a major reason why Ford can offer full-size pickup capable of achieving (up to) 23 hwy. mpg*
•Twin-independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) is standard in the 3.7L V6, 5.0L V8 and EcoBoost® engines. With its precise variable, yet independent, control over intake/exhaust valve timing, TI-VCT helps make possible higher fuel economy numbers as well as power ratings.
•The innovative EcoBoost engine uses the precise fuel delivery of direct injection at each cylinder plus the high-performance capability of twin turbocharging.
•Electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission, standard with all engines, has close-ratio gearing optimized for low-end performance and high-end efficiency.

* EPA-estimated 17 city/23 hwy/19 combined mpg, 3.7L V6 4×2.

2013 Ford F-150 Offers Ecoboost Engine

Ford engineers drew from their extensive experience using direct-injection technology and turbocharging in diesel engine development and created the innovative EcoBoost® engine option that delivers the best combination of torque, efficiency and capability.* Direct injection produces a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per drop of fuel, while the two small air-to-air intercooled turbochargers spool up much more quickly than a single large turbo. What you experience is instantaneous low-end torque responsiveness with virtually no turbo lag. EcoBoost generates 90 percent of its amazing 420 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,700 to 5,000 rpm. F-150 with EcoBoost has best-in-class maximum towing capability at 11,300 lbs.** and offers up to 3,100 lbs. of payload. The EcoBoost engine underwent over 1,900 hours of testing at full-boost conditions, as well as thermal testing to simulate 10 years of operation in the harshest environments. So EcoBoost is up to any task — and then some.

* Available EcoBoost® engine. Based on torque, max. towing and payload, and EPA-estimated 16 city/22 hwy mpg, 4×2. Class is Full-Size Pickups under 8,500 lbs. GVWR, Non-Hybrid vs. comparable competitive engines. EcoBoost vs. 2013 GM 5.3L, Ram and Toyota 5.7L and Nissan 5.6L V8 engines.

2013 Ford F-150 Offers 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 Engine

The available 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 in the 2013 Ford F-150 generates an impressive 360 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque. So not surprisingly, the 5.0L V8 has the most horsepower and torque, plus the highest towing capacity of any small-displacement V8 engine plus best-in-class payload.* And it flexes all this muscle while delivering an EPA-estimated 21 highway mpg.** The 5.0L is engineered with twin-independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) technology. Ti-VCT allows for variable control of the intake and exhaust camshafts, optimizing combustion at full load to increase power and low-speed torque. It also enables variable valve overlap, which improves cold start operation with lower exhaust emissions. Other notable features: a high-strength aluminum engine block, optimized camshafts and 10.5:1 compression ratio to help maximize low-speed torque, and a cylinder head designed to increase airflow. Along with its potent V8 power and flex-fuel capability, the 5.0L delivers proven Built Ford Tough® durability.

* When properly equipped. Class is Full-Size Pickups under 8,500 lbs. GVWR. ** EPA-estimated 15 city/21 hwy/17 combined mpg, 4×2.
