Ford has invested $4.5 billion in electric vehicle solutions, with the goal of putting 13 new electrified nameplates on the market in four short years. When those vehicles arrive at Karl Flammer Ford, will you know what the key differences are?

Ford quickly runs down the differences between the C-Max Hybrid and the C-Max Energi.

Both hybrid vehicles use a powerful lithium-ion battery to run an electric

It seems that with each consecutive generation of the Ford F-150, the half-ton pickup game is irreversibly changed with the innovations therein. The same can be said of the most recent model, which debuted in 2015. Although its aluminum skin and steel bones made the biggest splash, there are more innovations in store.

Admitting that something isn't working is never easy. We see this firsthand in the short, humorous clip below when Ricky comes to the saddening realization that he's just not one to measure up to his girlfriend Tina's wonderful 2016 Ford Fusion. It's just there for her in ways he isn't.

Here at Karl Flammer Ford Inc. we feel for Ricky, we really do. But can you blame Tina for choosing a vehicle as exciting and cap

See where Tina's coming from today by scheduling a test drive at our Tarpon Springs location. You won…

When comedian Guillermo agrees to do a Ford Focus commercial, he has no idea the prank that will take place. The TV producers tell him that he will be making tacos from a tray in his lap, as fellow actor, Prestin, drive the car.

Little does he know that Prestin isn’t an actor at all, but a stunt car driver. As he tries again and again to put the tacos together, Prestin veers this way and that, sending ingredients flying across the car and even her face.

Guillermo tells her that she’s driving too fast, and she looks…

This is how we’re keeping these creepy crawlers from nesting inside your #Ford. http://t.co/6X3PMmwGCO pic.twitter.com/1PY790SMS1

Nesting in your vehicle's engine right now, there may be spiders. We're not talking giant Florida tarantulas -- in this case, the little ones pose the bigger threat.

They're called "yellow sac spiders," or Cheiracanthium inclusum.

About a third of an inch long, these tiny arachnids are not merely a Florida problem. They are found in every state, and like to spin webs and lay eggs inside tiny cavities…

The decorations are all put away, the food has been eaten and the new toys and gadgets have found new homes in your house. The holidays are over for another year and while we might be a bit nostalgic, those of us with outdoor interests are already eagerly looking forward to warm-weather pursuits.

Gardening, long hikes, trips to the beach and summer camping trips top the list for many people. Winter, however, doesn’t have to be a time to only dream and wish that summer were here again. It’s a great time to plan your garden, your time…

"Ford Motor Co., the 112-year-old automaker, has sought a record number of patents in 2015 as Chief Executive Officer Mark Fields pushes the company toward Silicon Valley-style innovation."

So begins Bloomberg Business's December 22nd article about Ford's push for innovation, which is bound to continue into the new year and beyond. In 2015, the manufacturer applied for over 5,500 patents, about 1,000 of which have already received the green light.

Have you ever heard of the nonprofit organization, Riders for Health? Working in remote villages in economically depressed areas, the nonprofit delivers life-saving medical supplies and medicines using … motorcycles. Unusual but quite effective.

Ford has been working with the organization, donating vans and trucks to be used and also conducting a large-scale mobility assessment. The purpose is to help the nonprofit be even more efficient.

Here at Karl Flammer Ford Inc, we can't quite get enough of our fun, full-size SUV, the all-new 2016 Ford Explorer.

And evidently, the vehicular experts at Autotrader feel quite similarly. Check out the clip below to get their take on this top-shelf transport:

There's a multitude of engine options within the Explorer model range. Yet, for most shoppers, the base 3.5-liter V6 will no doubt do the trick.

Synced to a six-speed automatic gearbox, this drivetrain is good for a glorious 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque.

Let's face it, Mondays tend to be somewhat monotonous and dull. Well, we've got the cure for you here at Karl Flammer Ford Inc! We think the 2016 Ford Mustang can cure your Monday blues as well as add excitement to all of your days.

 

Put your hands on the wheel of a Mustang and you feel one thing above everything else: power. #MustangMonday #Ford #Mustang #FordMustang #roadtrip #photography #redrocks
