Not many vehicles have the pedigree that Ford trucks enjoy.  New for the 2022 model year Ford is introducing the Ford Maverick.  This truck will be smaller than the Ranger but still demonstrate the tough reliability Ford is known.  We know you have a lot of questions and we will try to answer them all.  If we haven’t answered your questions please reach out to one of our Product Specialists.  We don’t bite.  We don’t stalk you either.  Gresham Ford is the Dealer with a heart.  The original home of the hassle-free car buying experience with transparent pricing. 

Ford Maverick is Released

First Standard Hybrid Pickup

Ford does it again and is offering America’s first and only standard full hybrid truck and it starts at just $19,995.  That makes it not only the first truck but the lowest price hybrid available today.  It is estimated that each tank of gas will get you an average of 500 miles.  An entire new generation of Americans are about to appreciate the family of Ford trucks for all new reasons.  This truck provides an entire world of possibilities with purposeful design called Flexbed in the bed of the Maverick.  Flexbed provides multi-position dividers and slots that allow for safe and secure transport.  It’s just a guess but we are sure that Oregonians will love the Maverick for its flexibility.  Pivot from a DIY home project to an outdoor adventure in no time. 

First Edition Package Ford Maverick

Ford is so excited about this addition to the truck family it created a special edition package to celebrate.  The First Edition Package is only available with the Lariat trim.  If you have chosen the hybrid power train the package includes a black painted roof and 18″ black painted wheels.  If you have chosen the 2.0L engine paired with the All Wheel Drive functionality you will receive 17″ black painted wheels.  When you choose to include the First Edition package you will enjoy a spray-in bed liner and tie downs and locking rails in addition to the power outlets in the truck bed.  You might think this is silly at first but Contractors are really enjoying the outlets on the equipped F-150 trucks.  If you are planning on choosing the soft tonneau cover and moon roof, take a closer look at this Maverick upgrade because they are included too.

What models are available on the new Maverick?

Trim levels for the all new 2022 Ford Maverick include:

  • XL
  • XLT
  • Lariat

How big is the fuel tank on the Maverick?

The all new 2022 Maverick is available as a hybrid as well as a full gasoline version.  The fuel tank on the hybrid Maverick is 13.8 gallons.  The Ford electronic brake boost on the hybrid helps to capture energy that is lost when braking a traditional vehicle.  Recapturing your braking energy may not appear substantial at first but we can attest it adds up quickly.  Especially for those who regularly drive in traffic the brake boost technology cuts your fuel bill greatly. 

The fuel tank in the all gas Maverick is 16.5 gallons.  Again please feel free to reach out to Gresham Ford with any of your unanswered questions.  We are happy to help.

What are the cab options for the Maverick?

The All new Ford Maverick comes exclusively in a full four door Crew Cab configuration paired with a 4.5ft bed.  The Crew Cab seat five adults with ample room.  The drivers and front passenger seats are bucket seats.  The rear seat is a bench seat with useful under the seat storage.

What engines are available?

Two engines are available on the newest addition to the Ford truck family.  The first is the 2.5L Atkinson four cylinder hybrid engine. With an estimated 500 mile range and estimated combined 37 MPG this choice is a game changer. The gas engine kicks in at higher speeds or when the truck is in need of a power boost. With 191 horsepower it’s capable and ready for whatever your day brings.

 

The second option when purchasing a new Maverick is the 2.0L Eco-Boost four cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower with an eight speed transmission. You will also be provided with the choice of front or all wheel drive with this engine configuration. The two liter engine with AWD capability can tow up to 4,000 pounds. Paired with a payload of 1,500 pounds you can accomplish everything on your to-do list.

What is the FX4 Package on the Maverick?

When you choose the All Wheel Drive Maverick you have the option of upgrading to the FX4 package. This includes all terrain tires, skid plates, and Hill Descent Control. This is a great upgrade option if your lifestyle takes you off road to rough roads. Front tow hooks and an integrated trailer hitch receiver in the back help streamline your trips. Not into chrome? The FX4 package comes with 17″ black painted aluminum wheels.

2021 Ford Presidents Award WInner

 Gresham Ford is one of just four Oregon Ford dealerships to be awarded the coveted Ford President’s Award in 2021.  And this isn’t the first time either.  Since Bess Wills became the General Manager and Co-Owner of Gresham Ford, they have been designated with this honor four times. 

What does the Ford President’s Award mean?

Ford uses the annual President’s Award to recognize dealers who exceed caring for their sales and service customers.  This national award also requires dealerships to meet and exceed their sales expectations.   Only Ford dealers who provide the highest level of customer satisfaction are even considered.  Ford requires at least 60 completed Customer View Point Surveys annually even to be considered. 

100% Sales Effectiveness for combined Car and Trucks in a calendar year is another feat that must be achieved in order to be qualified for the honor.  Gresham Ford is humbled by this award and is thankful and appreciative to all the customers who purchased and serviced their vehicles. 

Achieving a Customer Experience Index Score greater that the Portland Metro Area average Ford Dealer Score is the last box that must be checked in order to be considered for the President’s Award from Ford Motor Company. 

Many dealerships will never even be awarded one award, let alone four.  Considering that the Ford Dealerships in the Portland Metro market are often separated by less than 10 miles, it is an achievement to be recognized above others in the market.  The award was created in 1998 to acknowledge Ford Dealerships that provide their communities with exceptional service and car buying experiences.  America has just over 3,000 across the country.  Only four dealers within the state of Oregon have been awarded with the honor this year.  It is estimated that the top 10% of dealerships are acknowledged each year. 

Representatives from Ford Motor Company were on hand Friday, September 17th, 2021 to award Bess, Preston, and the team at Gresham Ford the award demonstrating their achievement of excellence. 

The mission at Gresham Ford has always been to provide a mutually beneficial experience with every customer. 

Preston and Bess Wills

“We want to contribute to the community through caring for our customers, our community, and our staff.  We fell in love with the Gresham Community.  We live here.  We grocery shop here.  We will be here for a long time.  The relationships we have built over the last 20 years drive our desire to help through our Contribute to the Community program

Don’t take our word for it.  Just take a look at our reviews.  People recognize and appreciate our No-Hassle approach with transparent upfront pricing.  We don’t want to stress you out or enable you to make a poor decision for your family.  We want to be your source for all things automotive today and for years to come. ” 

Preston Wills, General Sales Manager

Reasons to Support the Gresham Area Police

The Police serve the Gresham Area Community

Gresham area Police Officers are dedicated to protecting and serving our community.  Keeping law and order is a vital part of the safety we enjoy as Americans.  Above and beyond those tasks, police also act as social workers connecting those in need  with counselors, non-profits, medical care providers.  Aligning those in need with the most helpful services is the reason why many police joined the force in the first place. 

Showing appreciation for their willingness to protect and serve strangers is the least we can do.  Sometimes it is forgotten that Police, like other civil servants, have families also.  Not only do Police Officers work long hours and often in less than desirable conditions.  Their families also serve.  Families provide support in a wide variety of ways that enable these vital members of the civil service field.  Showing support and appreciate for police and the sacrifices their families make is important. 

Contribute to the Community

Contributing to the community is a mission of Gresham Ford.  You can participate in the Gresham Ford tithe program the next time you visit the dealership for a service visit or purchase a vehicle.  When you purchase parts, service, or repairs, we will donate 10%, up to $100, of your invoice to the non-profit of your choice. 

Shriners Hospital for Children and Oregon Special Olympics

The 2021 Cruisin’ with the Cops is benefiting the Shriners Hospital for Children and the Oregon Special Olympics.  These are the two charities that the Gresham area Police have supported to the best of our memory.  You can ask for your tithe donation go to either of these non-profits on behalf of the Police Association.

We look forward to seeing you and your family at the Car Show showing our appreciation for those who protect and serve us everyday.  Join us and get to know the Police Officers that have dedicated their careers to provide safety. 

 

 

2022 Ford Peanut Butter Drive

Ford Dealers in the NW region raised 54,642 pounds of peanut butter amidst the challenges of covid.  Robberson Ford located in Bend Oregon did a fantastic job, raising over 14,620 pounds on their own.  Here at Gresham Ford we raised a bit over 2,000 pounds of peanut butter to help end childhood hunger in the Gresham Area.

Many may think of Car Dealers as sleazy polyester wearing individuals who start and end the day working to take advantage of their fellow humans.  Gresham Ford is and has been different for decades.  Originally McRobert Motor Company, Gresham Ford has supported the community and worked to make the community better and stronger.  In 2004, Bess Wills took the reins of the new car dealership.  Early on she heard about the community involvement and contributions of Gussie McRobert and her husband Chet.  Gussie embraced the Dealer with a Heart moniker with her entire being. 

“Bess has loved the history of the dealership from the beginning.   Early on she told me that she wanted to find a way to help support non-profits and the community and gain their supporters as customers.  Spending money on TV ads, or big display ads in expensive newspapers has never been on the table.  The Contribute to the Community program has allowed us to support non-profits as we serve their supporters automotive needs.  It makes our community better and stronger too, ” shared Annette Freetage, Marketing Director.

The 2021 Ford Peanut Butter Drive has been no different than any of the other food drives or community events for this powerhouse team.  Gresham Ford has worked with the local Gresham area food bank, Snow Cap Community Charities for a number of years with their Fill-A-Bag annual food drive over the holidays.  Snow Cap is well aware of the childhood hunger crisis in the Gresham area and was ecstatic to have another 2,000 pounds of peanut butter to share with the community. 

Peanut Butter is a great choice for food drives and families alike.

Peanut butter is good for you and packed with protein.  The Northwest Ford Dealers association formed the food drive around peanut butter after community leaders shared that childhood hunger was the overwhelming challenge in many Oregon and Washington communities. 

Thank you again to everyone who participated and helped during this Gresham are event.  Follow us on social media for more opportunities to contribute to the community!!

2021 Cruisin with the Cops Car Show

Ford Chip Shortage is Over

Ford Production has resumed making now the time to place your custom order

Ford recently received a much awaited supply of semiconductor chips for use in newly built Ford vehicles.  The Ford chip shortage created new and unforeseen pandemic challenges.  Oregon Ford Dealers have been experiencing dwindling inventory with the absence of new vehicles from Ford Motor Company.  Car and Driver recently shared that even with the Ford Chip shortage F-Series sales are only down 1.5% for the entire year.  Clearly the best selling trucks in America are still popular. 

Why did Ford having a chip shortage?

Many potential car buyers have received a crash course in automotive supply chain management during the pandemic.  In a nutshell, when the lock down began it forced many people into and deeper into virtual meetings, schooling, and recreation.  So many people bought laptops and other personal electronics.  That coupled with the slow down and pause at many Ford production facilities slowed the supply chain.  Semiconductor chips are manufactured in Asia for the large part.  Many of the Asian production facilities continued work as usual while America locked down and took pause in attempts to stop CoVid.  As a result the Asian chip producers committed to sending chips to personal electronics manufacturers instead of Ford Motor Company.  

It has taken longer than expected to re-establish an appropriate level of chip production for Ford Motor Company.  But the wait is over.  Ford Motor Company has solidified it’s supply chain and is ready to ramp up production in order to meet the increased popularity of F-Series trucks, the new Bronco SUV and Sport, as well as the Maverick.    

The Next Generation of Car-Buying

The Ford Chip Shortage has brought the weak points of the traditional car-buying model to light.  In the era of immediate solutions and delivery, visiting multiple car dealers in hopes of finding the car you really want is over.  Often times a car purchase is the largest investment other than a home a person makes.  Compromising on something so impactful to your financial landscape is no longer acceptable. 

Gresham Ford has been providing award winning customer service with competitive transparent pricing for decades.  Custom order your Ford with the Gresham Ford Team and get the vehicle you really want with the options you want.  You no longer have to pay for options and features you will never use. 

“It has been an immensely positive experience for our customers.  So much of our business is from repeat customers and their referrals to family, friends, and co-workers.  They know we provide competitive transparent pricing and are committed to treating people with the respect they deserve.  Custom ordering your next car is an exciting experience that I love sharing.  It really is the next generation of the auto industry.” shared General Sales Manager, Preston Wills.

Custom Order Your Next Vehicle. Built Your Way.

Feel free to reach out to our certified and trained staff with all your questions.  We are here to share the love and all the Ford product and ordering information.
