Named among the “10 Best Family Cars of 2012” by Kelley Blue Book, the Ford Flex is now available at Don Chalmers Ford of Albuquerque.

Albuquerque, NM -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/25/2012 -- Don Chalmers Ford of Albuquerque is happy to share that Kelley Blue Book has named the Ford Flex as one of the "10 Best Family Cars of 2012." Equipped with ample seating and a surplus of available add-ons and upgrades, the 2012 Ford Flex found its place as one of KBB's top picks.

In a time when most CUVs try to disguise themselves as SUVs, the 2012 Ford Flex certainly separates itself from the competition. Its long, boxy exterior design parallels that of station wagons from decades gone by, but there is no denying that there is something appealing about the Flex's unique styling. And although it may look slightly bulky compared to other CUVs, the Ford Flex is surprisingly maneuverable thanks in part to features like Ford's AdvancedTrac electronic stability and traction control and Roll Stability Control, in addition to the available all-wheel drive.

The 2012 Ford Flex also offers a quality driver and passenger experience. This seven-passenger CUV has minimal road noise and features like the available center-console refrigerator, SYNC communication system, voice-activated navigation, and four-panel Vista skylight make the Flex's interior as unique as its exterior.

The 2012 Flex is available in four trim levels, offering two powertrain options. The standard 3.5-liter V6 produces 262 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque, delivering exceptional fuel-economy at 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. An EcoBoost V6 option is available on SEL, Titanium, and Limited trims, producing 355 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.

Anyone interested in learning more about the 2012 Ford Flex or other Ford models should contact Don Chalmers Ford to speak with one of their knowledgeable sales associates. Also, visit Don Chalmers Ford online to view the current inventory at www.donchalmersford.com/NewFordCars.aspx.

Don Chalmers Ford of Albuquerque awaits the arrival of the 2013 Ford Fusion, featuring the affordable, fuel-saving Auto Start-Stop System

Albuquerque, NM -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/23/2012 -- In recent years, fuel prices have skyrocketed and consequently so has the demand for more fuel-efficient vehicles. And while automakers are certainly making progress, having introduced and implemented numerous fuel-saving innovations in nearly every vehicle category, the price tags for these new technologies put them out of reach for a large number of consumers. That being said, Don Chalmers Ford of Albuquerque is pleased to share that the 2013 Ford Fusion will feature the affordable, fuel-saving Auto Start-Stop System.

As the first non-hybrid, midsize sedan to offer Auto Start-Stop, the 2013 Ford Fusion will offer drivers an inexpensive option for reducing their annual fuel spend. Priced at just $295, Auto Start-Stop can save drivers approximately $1,100 over a five-year driving period. That may not sound like much, but considering the cost of the initial investment, that is an impressive return.

The concept behind Auto Star-Stop is simple. When a vehicle idles, the engine continues to consume fuel even though the vehicle is not in motion. The Auto Start-Stop System will shut off the Fusion's engine when the vehicle comes to a stop, thus eliminating unnecessary fuel consumption, as well as unnecessary exhaust emissions. The engine will then re-start as soon as the brake is released.

Making its debut this fall, the all-new Ford Fusion is another example of Ford's commitment to make fuel-economy affordable.

Anyone interested in learning more about the 2013 Ford Fusion or Auto Start-Stop can visit Don Chalmers Ford to speak with one of their knowledgeable sales associates. Also, visit Don Chalmers Ford online to view the current inventory at http://www.donchalmersford.com/NewFordCars.aspx.

Don Chalmers Ford in Albuquerque is proud to show customers the award winning Ford F-150, with the all-new EcoBoost Engine.

Rio Rancho, NM -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2011 -- The Ford F-150 was named Motor Trend's Truck of the year, beating out competitors like the Ram HD Laramie Longhorn and the Toyota Tacoma. It was Ford's all-new 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine that gave the F-150 an edge over the competition and helped them win the prestigious award.

Automakers are pushing for better fuel economy in the pickup segment where muscle has been measured in displacement until volatile gas prices and a turbulent economy changed the priorities of consumers. The EcoBoost equipped F-150's average 18 mpg combined city/ highway is much more appealing than the 14 mpg city / 17 mpg highway that competitor's eight cylinder models offer.

Truck Trend Editor Allyson Harwood stated, "On the road, the EcoBoost makes the 5.0-liter look like obsolete technology. The twin turbo V6 is incredibly quick and eager, power is abundant throughout the rpm range, and I didn't really notice any lag." Motor Trend testers had similar remarks about the EcoBoost, and for good reason. The EcoBoost delivers more torque to the ground than the big 6.2-liter up to roughly 5000 rpm and more than the 5.0-liter all the way up to 6000 rpm.

The F-150 also excelled in handling tests, where it felt more planted and better balanced with a payload than its competitors. You can always tell that the F-150 is using both rear tires to put power down, even in fast race-like turns.

If you are interested in the award winning 2012 Ford F-150 available at Don Chalmers Ford in Albuquerque, visit the Ford dealer today to test drive an all-new F-150 model. The staff at Don Chalmers will be happy to assist you in finding the perfect F-150 for you.

Don Chalmers Ford, a leading Albuquerque, NM Ford dealer, is excited to show customers how the Focus Electric will stay cool during the hot summer months.

Albuquerque, NM -- (SBWIRE) --06/29/2011 -- Don Chalmers Ford knows that when the weather heats up in Albuquerque, people have all sorts of ways to cool down. Ford will offer them one more way with the development of a system that cools the lithium-ion battery in the all-new Focus Electric.

The batteries in electric vehicles are designed to operate under a range of ambient conditions. Extreme temperatures can affect an electric vehicle's battery performance by reducing its overall range. That is why Ford will use an advanced active liquid-cooling and heating system to regulate the temperature of the lithium-ion battery packs in the Focus Electric.

"If the battery became too hot, we would have to limit the use of energy to protect it. The liquid cooled system allows us to reduce those constraints and get the most out of the battery," said Dave Fabricatore, Thermal Program Management team engineer. "We're helping owners by making sure their battery is always ready to go regardless of the weather."

The Focus Electric will use an integrated cooling system to keep the different systems in the vehicle at optimal operating temperatures. The air conditioning system is used to refrigerate the coolant going to the battery. Temperature sensors placed throughout the entire car let the cooling system know when it needs to kick into action; even when the car is charging to help reduce charge time in hot climates.

Electrification is an important piece to Ford's overall product sustainability strategy. Ford will launch a total of five electric vehicles in the U.S. by 2012. Don Chalmers Ford is excited to offer these eco-friendly vehicles to Albuquerque customers.

Don Chalmers Ford in Albuquerque is excited to confirm that Ford is adding the smallest engine yet to the already successful EcoBoost engine lineup.

Albuquerque, NM -- (SBWIRE) --06/10/2011 -- The demand for Ford's EcoBoost engine has continued to increase since its release in 2009. Ford is capitalizing off the engines success and the high gas prices by building their smallest engine ever. The new, three cylinder 1.0-liter EcoBoost will be introduced in all small Ford cars. Don Chalmers Ford is excited to show Albuquerque customers the benefits of the current and future EcoBoost engines.

The new EcoBoost engine is being designed to offer the best fuel efficiency and emit the least amount of emissions possible.

EcoBoost engines are a common choice for F-150 buyers, as one out of every four F-150s is equipped with the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost. Ford recently announced the 2013 Taurus will also have the option of the different EcoBoost engines.

No specific figures have been released regarding the new EcoBoost engine, however Ford states that they new engine will perform equal to or better than most normal 1.6-liter gasoline engines. Additional details will be revealed in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany.
