What Is the Ford Power Promise?
The Ford Power Promise is a customer-focused commitment designed to make owning a Ford EV simple, reliable, and convenient. From charging at home and on the road to battery warranties and around-the-clock support, the Power Promise gives you everything you need to feel confident about making the switch.
Considering the all-electric Mustang Mach-E, the rugged and powerful F-150 Lightning, or the efficient and capable E-Transit, you’ll benefit from a complete EV experience backed by Ford’s technology, reliability, and customer care.
Easy and Convenient Home Charging
Charging your vehicle at home should be as simple as plugging in your phone, and with Ford, it is.
When you buy or lease a new Ford EV, including the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning, or E-Transit, you’ll receive a complimentary Ford Charge Station Pro and standard home installation at no additional cost. That means no extra fees, no complicated setup, and no waiting. Ford makes sure you’re fully equipped from the start.
Once installed, you can simply plug your vehicle in overnight and wake up to a full charge. You’ll never have to revisit a gas station and save time and money while reducing your environmental impact.
Benefits of home charging include:
- Charging while you sleep
- Lower energy costs than gas
- No waiting in line at public chargers
- Reliable charging every day
Road Trip-Ready: Powering Up Anywhere
One of the biggest concerns for new EV drivers is taking long trips. However, Ford has alleviated that stress with its BlueOval Charge Network, the most extensive public charging network in North America offered by an automaker.
With access to over 106,000 charging stations, including 15,000+ Tesla Superchargers, Ford drivers can confidently charge almost anywhere they travel. And it’s not just the number of chargers that makes road-tripping easier; it’s the tools that help you find them.
Ford’s EV trip tools include:
- Built-in navigation with charging station suggestions
- Apple Maps EV Routing for iPhone users
- Google Maps EV Routing for Android users
- FordPass App for locating, starting, and paying for charging on the go
These features help you plan, stay charged, and enjoy your journey, whether driving across the state or the country.
Help Is Always Available: 24/7 Support
Trying something new often comes with a learning curve, and Ford knows that switching to electric can bring questions. That’s why they offer 24/7 customer support to walk you through every step.
Do you need help finding a charger? Do you have a question about your vehicle’s range? Want to learn more about EV features? A trained support team can assist you anytime, day or night.
Even better, if your EV runs low on charge or you encounter an issue while on the road, Ford’s roadside assistance team will come to your location and help you get to the nearest charging station or service center.
You can drive with peace of mind, knowing that Ford has your back anytime, anywhere.
Reliable Battery Performance You Can Count On
Battery life is one of the most essential parts of an electric vehicle, and Ford doesn’t cut corners. Every Ford EV has a durable, long-lasting battery designed to deliver consistent performance over the years.
Ford offers an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty on every EV to give drivers extra confidence. This warranty protects against unexpected battery issues and protects their investment well into the future.
Whether commuting daily or taking weekend road trips, you can trust Ford’s batteries to keep up with your lifestyle.

Ford BlueCruise is transforming the driving experience with its state-of-the-art hands-free driving. Driving is something many of us do every day, whether it’s commuting to work, running errands, or taking road trips with the family. But what if driving could be safer, easier, and even more relaxing? That’s exactly what Ford BlueCruise aims to do. This hands-free driving system is one of the most exciting new features available in Ford vehicles, and it’s changing the way we think about being behind the wheel.
At Crain Ford of Jacksonville, we’re proud to offer a wide selection of Ford models equipped with BlueCruise. If you’re in Jacksonville, AR, or nearby areas like Cabot, Sherwood, or North Little Rock, keep reading to find out how BlueCruise works and why it could be a perfect fit for your next Ford.
🚗 What Is Ford BlueCruise?
Ford BlueCruise is a hands-free driving feature designed to make highway travel easier, more comfortable, and less stressful. It’s part of Ford’s Level 2 Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS), which means it can help with multiple driving tasks at the same time, like steering, accelerating, and braking, while still requiring the driver to pay attention to the road.
BlueCruise uses adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, and advanced cameras and sensors to monitor the road and keep your vehicle driving smoothly and safely. When you’re on a pre-mapped highway segment called a Blue Zone, the system activates hands-free mode, allowing you to take your hands off the steering wheel while still keeping your eyes on the road.
It’s high-tech, smart, and designed to give drivers a break during long stretches of highway travel, something we could all use.
🧠 How Does Ford BlueCruise Work?
BlueCruise works by combining several important technologies into one system:
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Automatically adjust your vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you.
- Lane Centering: Keeps your car centered in the lane, even on curves.
- Blue Zones: Special highway areas where BlueCruise can be used in hands-free mode.
- Driver Monitoring System: Uses a driver-facing camera to make sure you’re still paying attention to the road.
When you enter a Blue Zone in a Ford with BlueCruise, a blue steering wheel icon appears on your dashboard. That’s your cue that hands-free driving is available. You can then activate the system, take your hands off the wheel, and let your Ford handle the highway.
Even though your hands are off the wheel, you must keep your eyes on the road. The system will alert you if it detects you’re looking away or seem distracted. If you ignore the warnings, the system will prompt you to take control again. This safety-first design is what makes BlueCruise stand out from other systems on the market.
⭐ What Makes BlueCruise Different?
There are other hands-free systems out there, but BlueCruise has been rated the best in the business. In a recent comparison by Consumer Reports, Ford’s BlueCruise beat out top competitors like GM’s Super Cruise and Tesla’s Autopilot.
The review included 40 different driving scenarios to test performance in lane keeping, braking, acceleration, and driver engagement. What set BlueCruise apart was its perfect balance of convenience and safety. You can enjoy hands-free driving without giving up control or awareness.
Here are a few key reasons BlueCruise stands out:
- Safety-first monitoring to keep drivers engaged
- Smooth, steady lane control, even on curves
- Smart speed adjustments in traffic
- Trusted results from real-world road tests
It’s a driving aid that makes long trips more relaxing while still keeping you responsible behind the wheel.
🚙 Ford Models That Include BlueCruise
The good news? You don’t have to buy a luxury car to get hands-free driving. BlueCruise is available on several 2025 Ford models, including:
- 2025 Ford F-150: The best-selling truck in America just got smarter
- 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E: A sporty, all-electric SUV with cutting-edge tech
- 2025 Ford Expedition: Spacious, family-friendly, and high-tech
- 2025 Ford Explorer: Perfect for daily driving and weekend adventures
At Crain Ford of Jacksonville, we have many of these vehicles in stock now. Our team can walk you through how BlueCruise works and set you up with a test drive so you can experience it for yourself.
🛣️ Why BlueCruise Is Perfect for Arkansas Roads
If you drive regularly on I-40, US-167, or through traffic between Jacksonville and Little Rock, BlueCruise can be a game-changer. Instead of constantly adjusting your speed and lane position in busy traffic, let your Ford do the heavy lifting while you stay alert and in control.
For families heading on vacation, professionals commuting daily, or anyone who spends a lot of time on the road, BlueCruise makes the drive easier and less tiring. It’s like cruise control with superpowers.
🛠️ Simple, Safe, and Ready to Use
One of the best things about BlueCruise is how easy it is to use. Once you’re on a compatible highway, the system automatically recognizes the Blue Zone and alerts you. You can then engage the hands-free mode with the press of a button.
Plus, BlueCruise gets better over time. Ford regularly sends over-the-air updates, so your vehicle’s system stays current with the latest improvements and safety features. It’s like getting smarter every time you drive.

The Evolution of Sync 4
Ford’s Sync infotainment system has continued to evolve since it was first released. At Crain Ford of Jacksonville, we’re excited to showcase how this technology has advanced, providing drivers with larger screens, enhanced voice recognition, and intelligent over-the-air updates to keep their vehicle systems up to date. Let’s explore the key features that make Sync 4 and Sync 4A stand out.
Are you interested in Sync 4? You can check out our Ford vehicles with Sync 4 here!
Sync 4 and Sync 4A: Key Features
Sync 4 brings a wealth of new technology to make your driving experience more enjoyable and connected. One of the biggest upgrades is the range of screen sizes available. While the standard version of Sync 4 comes with an 8-inch display, drivers can opt for screens as large as 15.5 inches in select models. These larger touchscreens allow for more efficient multitasking and easy access to key features while you’re on the road.
Another highlight of Sync 4 is its seamless smartphone integration. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, meaning you can connect your phone without worrying about plugging in cables. This feature lets you access your favorite apps, navigation tools, and media directly through the Sync system, making every drive more convenient and relaxed. The connected navigation feature provides real-time updates on traffic, weather, and road construction, helping you make informed decisions during your trip. The enhanced voice recognition system also offers conversational voice commands, making tasks like setting destinations or controlling media easier than ever.
Sync 4 also supports SiriusXM with 360L, which gives you access to a vast library of ad-free music, live sports, talk shows, and news—all at your fingertips. Additionally, Sync 4 features over-the-air software updates, meaning your system can stay current without visiting a dealership. This includes updates to improve functionality and access to a digital owner’s manual to help you learn more about your vehicle whenever needed.
What’s the Difference?
While Sync 4 and Sync 4A share many of the same innovative features, Sync 4A comes with a few distinct enhancements that set it apart. One of the most notable differences is the introduction of adaptive dash cards. These smart cards automatically prioritize your most frequently used functions and organize them at the top of the screen, making the system more intuitive and personalized to your driving habits.
Sync 4A’s interface is designed to adapt to how you use it, whether you rely on navigation, manage media, or adjust vehicle settings. This added level of customization makes the system easier to use and provides a more tailored experience. Sync 4A comes standard in models like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Ford Edge, Ford Bronco, and F-150, offering drivers an enhanced experience right from the start.
The Power of Over-The-Air Updates
One of the most exciting features of Sync 4 is the introduction of over-the-air updates. Ford began rolling out these updates, allowing for wireless upgrades to your vehicle’s software. These updates help reduce the need for many unnecessary service trips.
As technology continues to evolve, Ford’s Sync system keeps pace, offering drivers the latest connectivity and convenience. Sync 4 and Sync 4A represent the cutting edge of in-car infotainment, with larger screens, improved navigation, advanced voice controls, and seamless smartphone integration. Combined with over-the-air updates, Sync ensures your Ford is always ahead of the curve.
