Truck Enthusiasts Rejoice!

February 28, 2018 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

A few years ago, it seemed that everyone was trading in their SUVs and trucks for smaller, more efficient cars. Now, trucks are more popular than ever, especially in Louisiana. Lamarque Ford is your destination truck dealer here in Louisiana. Although we know that Ford trucks are the best option, it’s still best to know why! Here are the reasons why a truck is the most practical automobile purchase.

Trucks Motivate You
Not only does a truck drive much better on all sorts of terrain, but people are using their truck to go on excursions and seeking weekend adventures. Whether it’s an exorbitant amount of camping gear, three full-grown dogs, an inflatable boat with an outboard motor, or just a lot of equipment: a truck can handle it.

Trucks are Roomy
People who haven’t ridden in a modern truck are always surprised by how large they are inside. That means more room for passengers, your furry friends, and more.

Trucks are Fast
Long gone are the days of only thinking that sports cars go fast. In addition to acceleration, the big engines and luxurious cabins make cruising all day at high speed as easy as it would be in a high-dollar grand tourer like a Bentley or Aston Martin.

Pickups are Fuel Efficient
Although a smaller car might be more fuel efficient sometimes, a truck can be just as good. When hauling or moving, a truck can pass easier and complete the job in one load whereas passenger cars would have to take multiple trips. If you start throwing tacks, bikes and other equipment on a passenger car to catch up with a truck’s capacity: you’ll see its fuel economy plummet.

Pickups are Safe
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has found that a heavier vehicle will typically push a lighter one backward during the impact. As a result, there is less force on the occupants of the heavier vehicle and more on those in the lighter vehicle. Sitting up high, with an excellent field of view, a pickup’s driver is also able to see over most traffic. This increased vision will help identify potential accidents sooner and react with more time than passenger car driver, whose vision is hindered by other vehicles.

If you are in the market for a pre-owned or new truck, Lamarque Ford has the best selection and a highly experienced and professional staff to help you find the truck of your dreams. Come in today to see why we are number one!

A Healthy Car is a Happy Car

February 15, 2018 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

If you have your car checked regularly, you could save yourself from experiencing terrible incidents and prevent the possibility of you being frustrated and save you money. There are several car steps that you should take to keep your car in excellent health. Here are seven reasons why regular car maintenance is important.

It’s Safe

No matter how great your drive, you’re still at risk for getting into an accident if your vehicle isn’t running properly. Accidents can happen when you have faulty brakes, clouded headlights, worn windshield wipers and tires, a buildup in our exhaust or a leaky gas tank.

It’s good for the environment

Vehicles emit dangerous fumes like carbon dioxide and automotive fluids into the air and water. Maintaining your car helps save the environment and prevents it from getting worse.

It looks better

You’ve invested a lot of money and time into your car, and you should want to keep it like new. Taking good care of your vehicle will prevent faded paint, rusty spots, dents and bubbling tint from making your car look old and used.

It’s cheaper

You can save money from having to make costly repairs, especially if you drive a luxury vehicle that requires special car parts and accessories.

It’s reliable

There’s nothing worse than having your vehicle break down in the middle of a road trip with friends in your car. Things like a broken radiator, bad tires or an engine failure are not things that can be fixed on the side of the road. Our recommendation is to get your vehicle checked before going on a long adventure.

It sells faster

The value of your vehicle will depend on how well you take care of it. With competitive rates to buy a new vehicle, keep your vehicle in excellent condition. Most used car buyers value a vehicle’s condition over the make and model.

It performs better

Your mechanic will check your vehicle’s fluid levels, oil and parts to make sure your vehicle is performing at its best.

Having a reliable vehicle makes life easier, especially with a Ford. Properly taken care of Ford can go to 300,000-mile marks. Lamarque Ford’s service department makes it super easy to schedule services through our website. Keep your vehicle on the road safely and confidently for a long time to come to the dealership with the best deals: Lamarque Ford.
