According to Safe Kids Worldwide, many parents don't know about the top tether anchor on their child's car seat, and don't realize their child is not fully protected. In a 2016 study, 64 percent of front-facing child seats didn't have the top tether attached.

This is a serious issue—when the top tether is anchored, the child seat will stay firmly connected during a crash. Without it, the…

If you're shopping the sports car segment for your next vehicular purchase, we here at Fox Ford would be quick to point you in the direction of ours, the 2017 Mustang.

And what about this one makes it a must-see? carwow pundit Mat Watson provides some perspective in the clip below:

While every Mustang engine has its appeal, the mid-level EcoBoost iteration may very well be our favorite of the bunch. Propelled by a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder, the EcoBoost musters a massive 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque.

Nobody's perfect. When it comes to keeping your car clean, that saying applies doubly.

How many times have you gotten a ride from a friend, only for them to apologize for "what a mess" their car is... which makes you feel awful about the state of your own car? If your friend's idea of a mess looks like your vehicle on a good day, don't fret. It's easy to have your car looking…

The 2018 Ford F-150, coming to Grand Rapids dealerships this fall, is sporting a refreshed design for every trim, from the fleet-worthy base level to the luxurious Limited. This includes new front fascia that visually enhance its wide stance, a sculpted tailgate, and six new wheel designs.

The new designs give each F-150 model a custom look, highlighting the truck's unique personality.

Of course, if you're buying an F-150 to tow a trailer or a haul a payload, you're less interested…

Your tires play a big role in the performance of your Ford in Grand Rapids, but are often overlooked. If you notice a drop in handling quality or fuel efficiency, your tires could be to blame. If you're tired of your tires, look out for some the following signs of wear or damage.

When the original pony car rolled off the production line in 1964, its grille was emblazoned with a galloping chrome horse in a square border. This emblem was supported in place by horizontal and vertical chrome bars attaching it to either side of the grille.

Over time, the design simplified. All of the border garnish was stripped away, leaving naught but the lonely silver pony galloping its way across an empty field of black.

The upcoming 2018 Mustang is the most advanced Mustang ever…
