Everyone knows that when you choose the Ford F-250, you're getting a truck that can handle all you need for work and play. But, it's about finding the right model among the many different options in the F-250 lineup and here at Duval Ford, those in Jacksonville and beyond can find that in the F-250 LARIAT.

Here at Duval Ford, many people coming in to purchase a new vehicle are amazed to see the standout technology that's available and the advancements that have been made in a short amount of time with new Ford vehicles. One such feature people find cool and convenient is remote keyless entry. It's a feature that once you have it, you won't know how you lived without it!

For years now, the Ford Escape has been one of the most recognizable and respected names in the compact SUV segment. Favored by city drivers here in Jacksonville, the right compact SUV can be a great asset, providing commuters and small families alike with a little extra room and cargo space without compromising too much on fuel economy.

We here at Duval Ford are starting to suspect that there aren't enough acclamatory adjectives in the English language to adequately depict our feelings for our full-size crossover, the 2016 Ford Flex. As it turns out, a transport this terrific has a funny way of leaving us tongue-tied.

So, instead, we'd like to link the following video. Team up with Autotrader critic, Jabari Jones, as he takes the Flex for a test run:

On base trims, the Flex gets a 3.5-liter V6 engine as standard. Good for a healthy 287 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque, most…

While it may not be the biggest or most muscular machine here at Duval Ford, make no mistake: the 2016 Ford Focus RS -- the American automaker's all-new hot hatch -- is nonetheless bad to the bone.

And if, for whatever reason, you don't quite buy that, then we suggest you scope the clip below. Take a cruise with Auto Trader UK Senior Road Tester, Paul Bond, as he cites some of the Focus RS's winningest qualities:

Just as you might imagine, the main attraction of the Focus RS can be found beneath its slinky, low-slung snout. It's…

When it comes to the recently redesigned 2016 Ford Explorer, we at Duval Ford can't quite contain our true feelings. So, instead, we'll just come right out and say it:

This new-and-improved Explorer is far and away one of the very best full-size SUVs on the block.

Now that we've got that out of the way, it's time to justify our position. And here to help us do just that is Autotrader critic, Jabari Jones. His review of the Explorer is available below:

There's quite simply no denying an entry-level drivetrain like the Explorer's…

The Ford Super Duty lineup is the stuff of legends. Whether you pick the potent F-250, or the brawny F-450, the amount of muscle packed in each is positively mind-blowing. Take, for example, the F-450 packing the 6.7-liter Power Stroke Diesel engine, which boasts best-in-class horsepower, torque, and gas mileage.

If you’re a woman who loves outdoor adventure, or know one who does, listen up: we just learned of this cool organization called “Sisters on the Fly.”

The group is big, really big. In fact, there are over 6,500 members across the U.S., making it the largest outdoor adventure group for women in the nation. The group is broken into many smaller chapters. In fact, most states have at least one, some more than that.

The women get together periodically to camp, fish, hike, make crafts, bake, or simply enjoy being outdoors together.
