Many modern Ford vehicles are equipped with advanced technology that optimizes your daily routine. To get the most out of your Ford's advanced features, check out this Ford remote start guide to learn how to set up and use key remote vehicle features. Ford Remote Start Guide: Exploring Remote Start and Climate Control Features The foundation of Ford's remote vehicle functions is a key fob transmitter, which can perform several remote operations like locking, unlocking, and starting the vehicle. The transmitter has a unique code syncing it to your vehicle and can start the engine from as far as 300 feet away. The key fob often replaces a physical key for vehicle entry and ignition. more Much of the time, Ford vehicles with automatic climate control have linked operations. When you use your key fob to remotely start your vehicle, the automatic climate control will also turn on to precondition your cabin. Even models with a manual climate control system will resume the last HVAC setting when the engine restarts. Using the Key Fob To remotely start your engine, you will first need to unlock the vehicle and then press the remote ignition button twice. If the remote ignition is successful, the exterior lights will flash and the parking lights will stay on as a courtesy feature. The lights and engine will run for five to 15 minutes before automatically shutting off, which is plenty of time to warm the engine in winter weather. Explore the FordPass App Some Ford models are compatible with the FordPass app, which can be downloaded on your smartphone to transform your phone into a virtual key. Remote features on the FordPass app include unlocking and locking doors, starting the engine, and checking on vehicle health stats. The FordPass app also allows drivers to manage connected services, monitor vehicle location and security, and much more. Remote climate adjustment is also a key part of the FordPass app when your vehicle is capable of remote climate control, such as current Ford EVs. You can use the app to make specific adjustments to the cabin temperature, climate-controlled seats, heated steering wheel, and defroster. The app remembers your last saved selections and can run those climate settings as the default when you activate the climate system remotely. Whether your Ford has a key fob or you download the FordPass app, remote ignition and climate control add convenience to your day.

The Ford Navigation System is powered by Ford's SYNC 4 technology, which also powers the infotainment system. This navigation system helps you to find your way to any destination easily and safely. As your Ford dealer, we want to tell you more about some of the benefits of this connected navigation system. Benefits of the Ford Navigation System Subscription Based The navigation system is subscription-based. All 2025 Ford vehicles have a complimentary subscription for one or three years, depending on your Ford model. Once the complimentary period ends, you can extend your access for as long as you want by taking out a new subscription plan. If you don't renew your subscription, the navigation system will still work, but with reduced functionality. You'll see your vehicle moving on the screen, but any real-time information, like traffic updates, road closures, and alternative routes, won't be displayed. more Real-Time Information The navigation system uses cloud-based real-time information to make reaching your destination as hassle-free as possible. Slow-moving traffic, road closures, and accidents are some of the issues that can potentially plague any trip, but your navigation system identifies these issues in advance and provides automatic rerouting to guide you to your destination quickly and smoothly. Offline Mapping If you depend on smartphone navigation using Apple Maps or Google Maps, hitting a cell-dead area is a major headache. Without a cellular connection, these maps can't provide any guidance at all ​until you're back in cellular coverage again. If you're traveling on an unfamiliar route, you can easily become lost and potentially add hours to your traveling time. Ford's ​connected navigation has you covered, as it's continually refreshed with incoming data. If there's no signal in the area you're ​driving through, it uses the last available information it received to keep you on the right route ​until ​it can receive real-time updates again. Trailer Routing If you're towing a heavy load behind you, you want to get it safely to its destination ASAP. Connected navigation takes your trailer's weight and size into account when deciding on the most efficient route to your destination. This ensures your route avoids potential headaches like low bridges, narrow roads, and tight turns. Intelligent Range If you have an EV, its Intelligent Range feature uses the navigation system to give you real-time information on your remaining battery range based on traffic and route conditions.

The 2025 Ford Ranger has something for everyone. It has a solid carrying and towing capacity, making it perfect for work or a road trip. It is Ford Tough, combining strength, durability, and reliability with the ability to take on and overcome any challenge. In addition, you can easily and affordably add powerful off-road capability for when you want to conquer the great outdoors. We want to give you a few reasons why drivers love the Ranger. Powerful Engines The Ranger offers two engines that prove size isn't everything. The standard Ranger engine is the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, with 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, while the available 3.0L EcoBoost V8 pushes out 405 HP and 430 lb-ft of torque. When you pop the hood, you'll be amazed at how Ford's EcoBoost technology compresses such power into relatively small packages. EcoBoost technology uses turbocharging, direct fuel injection, and variable camshaft timing to produce more efficient, carefully controlled combustion. This increased efficiency allows engine designers to reduce engine size and weight while providing more bang for your buck. In addition, EcoBoost engines use less fuel, reducing trips to the pump. Both engines are paired with 10-speed automatic transmissions. more Serious Offroad Capability The Available FX4 Off-Road Package takes your Ranger to the next level of off-road capability. Toughed skid plates protect the underside of your truck against damage from rocks or other debris. The standard shocks are replaced by specially tuned off-road shocks to absorb the impact of driving over the roughest terrain. A rear differential locker is installed, improving traction by splitting power between the rear wheels. Two additional driving modes, Mud/Ruts and Sand, are available to control engine power and improve traction on these surfaces. Hill Descent Control gives you enhanced control over your speed when driving downhill. Finally, a dedicated off-road screen gives you enhanced information on your Ranger's pitch, roll, and steering angle. Carrying and Towing Capacity One of the reasons to choose a truck is to carry or tow heavy loads. The Ranger can carry up to 1,850 pounds in its bed and tow up to 7,500 pounds with ease. If you choose the all-wheel drive (AWD) option, the carrying capacity is slightly reduced to 1,711 pounds due to the additional weight of the AWD. The best way to experience everything the Ranger has to offer is to take it for a test drive. Contact us today at Lundgren Ford in Eveleth, MN.
