Ford Can Help You Avoid Collisions
New Ford vehicles are bringing safety to drivers everywhere, thanks to the ingenuity and hard work of Ford engineers. Available Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection will help drivers avoid pedestrian frontal collisions by using cameras and radars to help drivers. These systems scan the area ahead of the car and detect vehicles and pedestrians, sometimes before a driver might be able to. The system then warns the driver, but if the driver can’t respond in time, the Pre-Collision Assist will activate the brakes at full force, which will help reduce the severity of a crash, or even prevent a collision entirely.

2015 Ford F-150 Named Truck of Texas
Texans love their trucks, and what’s more, Texans know their trucks. So when the Texas Auto Writer’s Association (TAWA) names a vehicle the Truck of Texas, that’s a title that means something. Which is why here at O’Brien Ford of Shelbyville, we were thrilled to hear that TAWA writers named the 2015 Ford F-150 the Truck of Texas at their annual Truck Rodeo in October. Of course, given the hard work and innovation that went in to designing this brand new Ford F-150, it’s no wonder TAWA loved it. Ford engineers have created a brand new frame using military grade aluminum alloy, along with more high strength steel than any previous version of the truck. This stronger, lighter truck also boasts fantastic driver assist features, a powerful engine, and the toughness to handle any job. The end result is a Ford F-150 that is smarter, stronger, and more capable than any previous model. Read the rest of this entry »
