Electrifying the Heartland: EV Charging Solutions for Ford Owners in Iowa

Staying relevant as a car for even a decade requires continuous reinvention to remain in tune with what drivers and families want. The Ford Explorer has done just that for over thirty years. Its latest iteration, the 2025 Ford Explorer, continues this tradition by revamping the cabin and adding new technology. The most significant change, however, is the simplified lineup, which has been cut from eight trims to just four. 2025 Ford Explorer Trims 1. Active The new base trim is the Active, and it is a bit of a revelation. It's got everything you need, plus a few nice touches. For starters, it's got heated front seats, which is practically a luxury in an entry-level vehicle. You can get into this car on a chilly morning and feel immediately at home, not just settling for a basic commuter vehicle. more On top of that, it's comfortable, easy to drive, roomy, and packs all the modern technology features you'd expect, including wireless Apple CarPlay and adaptive cruise control, 2. ST-Line The next trim, the ST-Line, introduces a number of exterior and interior upgrades that make the Explorer more stylish and functional. Outside, it features a sportier grille, blacked-out skid plates, bodyside cladding (also black), 20-inch wheels, and unique treatment on the headlamps and taillamps. Inside, you'll find heated second-row seats and red stitching throughout the cabin. An interesting addition here is the BlueCruise, which, if equipped, takes the stress out of long drives by letting the car do the heavy lifting. You just have to sit back, relax, and let your ST-Line take the wheel on mapped highways. To make your journeys even more enjoyable, this model comes with a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. 3. ST The ST is the performance-oriented version of the 2025 Explorer. So, it boasts a more powerful engine (400-horsepower V6), a sports-tuned suspension, paddle shifters, and all-season tires. In addition, it's got power-folding outside mirrors, heated and cooled front seats, wireless charging, and a heated sport-inspired steering wheel. And let's not forget about those striking red brake calipers, as they are a bold reminder of the mean machine the ST truly is. 4. Platinum At the top of the range is the Platinum, the finest of the lot. It features all the trappings of high-end SUVs, including heated second-row seats, leather upholstery, a panoramic roof, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 14-speaker Bang and Olufsen audio system.

Many drivers choose pickup trucks for their power, durability, and hauling and towing capabilities. The 2024 Ford F-150 has the performance and utility truck enthusiasts love but also includes key safety features intended to protect you and your passengers while on the road. Ford safety features use cutting-edge technology and modern innovation to outfit the F-150 with a variety of systems to assist the driver and increase overall safety. Ford F-150 Safety Features We Love BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert The 2024 F-150 is equipped with Ford's BLIS technology, which is their signature blind spot information system. The F-150 is equipped with sensors that can detect when a vehicle enters your blind spot and will alert you via an indicator light on the side mirror. This technology can see what you can't, for safer merging and lane switching. The Cross-Traffic alert feature uses this technology to help you safely back out of a driveway or parking spot. It can detect when a vehicle enters the space behind your vehicle and will flash on the side view mirror, give an audible warning, and show on the display which side the vehicle is coming from. more Lane Keeping System Lane drifting can happen to the best of us. Especially on long drives, it can be hard to stay perfectly in the center of the lane the entire ride. The Ford F-150 assists drivers with the lane-keeping system. Cameras that scan both sides of a lane marker and use that to help keep your truck aligned. There are three modes: Lane-Keeping Aid which alerts the driver with steering wheel vibrations, Lane-Keeping Assist which gently steers the truck back to center, and Driver Alert which reminds the driver to pull over and take a break if needed. Drivers can choose whether they want active Lane-Keeping Assist or Aid mode, or both. Pre-Collision Assistance with Emergency Braking The Pre-Collision Assistance system can detect when a vehicle or pedestrian enters the area in front of the truck. First, the system will sound an alert and feature a message on the dashboard. If the driver is not able to react in time, the system will then automatically brake to hopefully avoid the collision altogether or at least lessen the impact. SOS Post-Crash Alert System These safety systems greatly reduce the risk of a crash, but no amount of technology can make the chance of a crash zero. In the unfortunate event that you experience a crash, the SOS Post-Crash Alert System will take over to quickly get you the help you need. If the airbag is deployed the vehicle will flash the turn signal lamps and intermittently sound the horn with the intention to get the attention of other drivers.
