August is American Adventures Month!

August is just a few days away, and it won't be long before the kids are back in school. So NOW is the time to embark on some great adventures with friends and family. No matter where the road leads you, you'll be happy when you're in a Ford. These are a few of our favorite road trip choices: 


Ford Focus

The Focus is a family-sedan staple. But this special 5-door hatchback is ideal for road-trips. Its plush interior keeps the family comfortable, and its top-of-the-line safety features will have you at ease even for the longest road trips. There's plenty of room for the kids and the stuff that comes along! 

Ford Explorer

Adventures are fun, but they can be demanding. The Ford Explorer, with a wide range of adaptable, all-terrain capabilities, are perfect for the especially unpredictable adventures. Its spacious interior also proves useful, with folding seats and multiple storage areas, perfect for cross-country or long road trips with friends and family. 

Ford Edge

The Edge is loved for its sleek look, which makes it perfect for a stylish vacation. In addition, it touts Ford's EcoBoost technology, providing great fuel economy in town or on the highway. It has a high towing capacity, so you can bring along the boat, bikes, or whatever you need for their adventure!

Where will your adventure lead you? We want to hear all about it! Thanks for stopping by Hilbish Ford!  

Five Tips for Safe Summer Road Trips

 Summer is a great time to enjoy a road trip vacation with your family and friends. Thanks to Ford Driving Skills for Life, we have five great tips to keep safe while having fun on the road.

Tip #1: On a long road trip, go inside and eat when stopping for food, don't try and multitask by eating while driving. Look at it as a much needed break from the road!

Tip #2 – Did you know that driving while tired can be just as bad as driving while legally intoxicated? If you are going on a long trip, drivers should take turns often to avoid an irritable and fatigued driver. Also, if you plan on driving through the night, please get plenty of sleep before you leave on your trip, and whoever is riding shotgun - your job is to stay awake and keep your driver company!

Tip #3 – Designate someone in the car to manage the non-driving tasks, like texting and DJing, so that the driver is not doing either of these things behind the wheel.

Tip #4 – Speed and road rage don’t belong on your vacation! Leave early enough so that you can take your time, relax, and enjoy the ride!

Tip #5 - Wear your seat belt! Putting on your seat belt should be the first thing you do when you get in the car. Wearing a seat belt is the number one thing you can do to survive a crash!
