Why does the 2018 Ford Escape continue to be a popular compact SUV? We here at Town & Country Ford are excited to share some of the features that make the Escape stand out.

A compact SUV doesn’t have to mean a compact interior. The Ford Escape provides up to 34 cu. ft. of cargo space in the rear. If you need to carry more items, the 60/40 split-fold-flat rear seats allow you to fold down either one or both of them for extra capacity. Once both are folded down, you double the capacity to 68 cu. ft.

Hydroplaning is a dangerous traffic hazard that can strike any vehicle. Hydroplaning takes place during wet weather conditions or on damp roadways. In damp conditions, vehicle tires can begin to glide over thin layers of water. This gliding action can rob drivers of vehicular control, with unfortunate results.

To keep this danger at bay, tire makers offer special V-Groove tires. This tire design includes special lug and sipe patterns that channel and pump water away from tires during rainy weather. 

Extremes heat and cold can drain your battery of the cranking power you need to get fast, smooth starts. The battery plays a key role in your vehicle's operation. In addition to starting, nearly all of the lights, devices, and switches rely on battery power.

Evansville drivers worry about their car battery cranking power in the cold weather; they know it takes extra power to crank a cold engine on a cold day. 

A tire blowout can be a scary event for both you and other drivers. Sometimes you can get a flat tire just from hitting a pothole or other object in the road. However, you can go the extra mile to keep your tires safe and properly inflated by checking them regularly for the correct tire pressure. A tire pressure gauge is a cheap and useful investment for any driver to have.

During a heavy rainstorm, the environment is typically dim since the sun doesn't shine while stormy clouds are in the area. When each driver operates a vehicle that has bright, bold headlights, less risky situations happen in rural zones throughout severe weather events.

If you carry valuable cargo in your vehicle, then you know about the pain that hitting a big, deep pothole can cause. Thankfully, an effective suspension system can turn the effects of those big bumps into smaller ones. The suspension system in question is called a multi-link suspension system, and it is ideal for minimizing potential damaging road-based vibrations throughout Evansville, Indiana and beyond.

Multi-link suspensions provide each wheel with extra freedom of movement, allowing them each to essentially do their own thing.
