Hey all.  I wanted to tell you about a great award that the Ford F-150 won.  Now I know most of you do not know this, but the Ford F-150 won the “Truck of the Year” award which is announced by Motor Trend Magazine.  One of the big reasons that this truck won this award was because of  its Turbocharged EcoBoost engine.  This engine mixes efficiency with power.  In fact, this engine is more powerful than the regular 5.0 L V-8 one.  The 2011 Ford F-150 can also tow more than the 5 L V-8 when equipped with this engine.  Click here to read an in depth review of the 2011 Ford Explorer.

Dewey Auto Group once again this year provided assistance to Westwood Elementary School in Ankeny, IA for their annual food drive to benefit the Neveln Center in Ankeny.  Over a month long period of time, the students collect non-perishable food and  paper items to help the less fortunate in the area. Dewey Ford and Dewey Dodge Jeep Ram then helps out by providing trucks and employees who transport the items to the center.  This is an ongoing annual effort as a part of Dewey’s business partnership with Westwood Elementary.

The Neveln Center, Inc. serves the needs of area families on multiple levels. The vision is for the Center to provide a central location and coordination for resources of non-profit and people oriented organizations which are accessible to everyone in the community. The efforts of the center focus on coordination and collaborating with various area organizations, agencies and community groups to make services cost efficient and more available.

The center services currently include before and after-school day care, a clothing pantry where families with the basic need for clothing can obtain garments at no charge, fine art support and education, craft activities, as well as juvenile crime prevention, support for special needs young adults, counseling and referral resource for at-risk children in the Ankeny Community Schools.

So far we have not seen Chrysler offer a hybrid, but since Fiat has acquired Chrysler, it seems to be spending it’s time developing full electrics, or plug in hybrids with a small range extending gasoline engine a-la Chevy volt.  There’s also been talk of an all electric version of Fiat’s 500 mini car.  Chrysler is testing out a fleet of all electric Town and Country Minivans with the US Postal Service for mail delivery.  Specially equipped Postal stations involved in the program will provide the necessary infrastructure for charging the vans.

Are you in need of a new car, or do you want a new car?  But do you not want to sacrifice fuel mileage at the same time  Why not hold off on buying a new car for a year or so, so you can get the 2013 C-Max Energi or 2013 C-Max Hybrid?  C-MAX Energi is predicted to achieve more than 500 miles of driving range using the battery and engine; more than any other plug-in or extended-range vehicle. C-MAX Hybrid is expected to deliver better miles-per-gallon than the 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid which is the most fuel-efficient sedan in America.   The lithium-ion  battery systems that will be going into both of these cars will be more advanced, lighter and smaller than the nickel-metal hydride batteries that power today’s hybrids which makes them easier to package in a vehicle, and can be tuned to increase power to boost acceleration or to increase energy to extend driving distance.  Click here to learn more about the 2013 C-Max Energi and 2013 C-Max Hybrid.

The most southeran state of the country is Florida and it almost never gets cold down there.  But let’s say that you live in a state that does get cold around certain times of the year, for example, Iowa, you are not just going to stay in your house.  Of course, you have to venture out of your house to buy groceries to survive.  But how do you get from your house to the store?  It’s easy, just take your car.  You’ll have to get snow tires on the card before you drive it.  Before the winter comes, you drivers in Ankeny, the greater Des Moines area and the rest of Iowa, might want to think about purchasing a new 2012 Ford Escape Hybrid SUV. 

Since the Chassis are higher in an SUV than cars, you will be able to see further down the road to watch out for accidents if there are any and plan an alternative route.  Also you will be helping the environment out by consuming less gas because hybrids are known for this.  Less gasoline consumption also means spending less cash at the pump, so you will have more of it for other things.  Finally, it is a sporty SUV that you will look good driving in.
