The 2012 Ford Escape Hybrid, the first SUV to offer hybrid technology, earns 34 MPG city and 31 MPG highway, while the 2012 Explorer will return an EPA-estimated 28 highway MPG for its drivers.

The 2012 Ford Explorer is now being offered to Arizona customers at Sanderson Ford in Phoenix.

Glendale, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2011 -- Phoenix Ford dealer Sanderson Ford is excited to announce that the 2012 Ford Explorer has arrived on its lot. This year's Explorer has received minor updates following its 2011 redesign, for which it was named the "North American Truck of the Year."

For the 2012 model year, Ford has added an optional turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine. This engine provides the power of a six-cylinder with the exceptional fuel economy of the four, giving the 2012 Explorer best-in-class fuel economy at 20 MPG city/28 MPG highway. The standard engine on the SUV is a 3.5-liter V6, producing 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. While front-wheel drive is standard on the 2012 Explorer, four wheel drive is optional on all models and includes hill descent control, hill start assist, and Ford's Terrain Management System.

Consumers will immediately love the Explorer's combination of carlike driving and SUV hauling capabilities. This more refined driving is a result of Ford replacing the truck-based body-on-frame with a carlike unibody chassis in the 2011 redesign. The SUV also seats up to seven passengers and offers plenty of cargo space, making the Explorer an ideal vehicle for hauling both people and things.

Glendale, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2011 -- The 2012 Ford Focus is one of many Ford vehicles to be named a "Top Safety Pick" by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The Focus features an advanced restraint system with innovative, next-generation airbags that offer improved chest protection.

Other standard safety features include AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Control, BeltMinder front safety belt reminder, LATCH lower anchors and tether anchors for child safety seats, tire pressure monitoring system, SOS Post-Crash Alert System, front-seat side-impact airbags, dual-stage front airbags, and Safety Canopy side-curtain airbags.

In addition to safety, the Focus also offers many features that add to the sedan's comfort and entertainment. To keep drivers and passengers comfortable, the Focus offers an air filtration system, full-floor center console with storage, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and power front windows with one-touch down.

Sanderson Ford presents the 3rd annual Doug and Wolf’s Gear Up for Kids, benefitting the Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan Phoenix.

Glendale, AZ -- (SBWIRE) --06/09/2011 -- For decades, team sports participation has been in a decline, which has led to a rise in health problems among children. In fact, 32 percent of United States youth are considered obese or overweight. This is why Sanderson Ford has teamed up with Doug and Wolf's Gear Up for Kids to provide sports equipment to the Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan Phoenix.

The Boys & Girls Club provides over 10 sports leagues, such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, and flag football, for Phoenix youth to participate in each year. This adds up to over 18,000 hours of sports and activities, as well as nutritional programming to help kids stay active and healthy.

These activities not only help kids keep fit, but they also keep them off the streets. Youth who play sports are 57 percent less likely to drop out of school, 92 percent less likely to be involved in drugs, and more likely to graduate high school than those who do not. Female athletes are also less likely to have an unwanted pregnancy than non-athletes.

This is why Sanderson Ford, along with Sanderson Lincoln and Sanderson Volvo, is proud to present the 3rd annual Doug and Wolf's Gear Up for Kids equipment drive. Stop by Sanderson Ford now through June 23 and drop of any new or used sports equipment. Requested items include basketballs, soccer balls, volleyballs, baseballs, footballs, catcher's gear, baseball bats, helmets, ball bags, and much more. This equipment is essential to the Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan Phoenix's sports leagues and will help keep them running, which in turn, will keep Phoenix youth off the streets.
