Ford’s latest models are packed with advanced tech features designed to make your drive easier, safer, and more fun. Here are the top five coolest Ford technology features you might not know about—yet!

1. Ford Co-Pilot360™ – Your Driving Assistant

One of the most impressive advancements in Ford’s new lineup is the Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite of driver-assist technologies. This feature-packed system is like having a co-pilot looking out for you on the road.

Ford Co-Pilot360™ includes:

• Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with Cross-Traffic Alert: Detects vehicles in your blind spots and warns you if something’s coming when you’re backing out of a parking spot.
• Lane-Keeping System: Keeps you in your lane by gently guiding the steering if you start to drift.
• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): Scans the road ahead and alerts you if a collision is possible. If you don’t react in time, the system can apply the brakes for you.

It’s a game changer for anyone who wants extra peace of mind while driving around the busy streets of DFW.

2. SYNC® 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition – Your Personal DJ and Navigator

Ford’s SYNC® 4 system takes infotainment to the next level with its powerful new voice recognition and seamless integration with your smartphone. The system responds to conversational voice commands—so if you say, “I’m hungry,” SYNC® 4 will pull up nearby restaurant options!

Other standout features include:

• Cloud-Connected Navigation: Get real-time updates on traffic, road closures, and the quickest routes.
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: Forget the cables—just hop in, and your favorite apps are ready to go on the touchscreen.
• Over-the-Air Updates: Your vehicle’s system stays up to date with the latest software without you needing to visit the dealership.

SYNC® 4 keeps you connected, entertained, and navigating smoothly—whether you’re on a Texas road trip or stuck in traffic on I-35.

3. Active Park Assist 2.0 – Perfect Parking, Every Time

Parallel parking can be stressful, especially in a crowded lot or a busy street. Enter Active Park Assist 2.0, Ford’s smart parking assistant. This tech takes the guesswork out of parking by handling the steering, shifting, and braking for you.

With just the press of a button, your Ford can:

• Identify a suitable parking spot.
• Steer into the spot with precision.
• Take control of acceleration, braking, and shifting to park the car without you touching a thing.

Whether you’re pulling into a tight spot at your favorite Fort Worth BBQ joint or trying to parallel park downtown, this feature makes parking a breeze.

4. FordPass™ App – Control Your Car from Your Phone

The FordPass™ app turns your smartphone into a remote control for your vehicle, giving you access to a wide range of features, even when you’re not behind the wheel. With the app, you can:

• Remote Start: Start your car from your phone, so it’s cool in the summer and warm in the winter before you even step outside.
