Do Ford trucks hold their value well?
One of the major factors that go into many of our decisions when it comes to purchasing a new or pre-owned vehicle has to do with how we perceive the long term value of the car or truck we’re looking into buying. Of course no one wants pay through the nose up front, but we also don’t want to save in the short term only to be relentlessly nickle-and-dimed for years to come.
If you’re looking for a heavy duty truck or cargo van for your business, you’re probably especially committed to making sure your long-term investment worthwhile. Today we’ve got some good news at Holiday Ford, which is that two of our models, the 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty truck and the 2015 Ford Transit Connect have been recognized among Edmunds Best Retained Value Award winners.

Will Ford have Apple Car Play?
After the big release of the Apple Watch in April, we put together a post detailing what we knew about how the new device would be able to integrate with Ford vehicles moving forward. As the major players in smartphone operating system technology – Google and Apple, in case there was any doubt who we meant – continue to work with automakers for a more seamless and ultimately more functional experience for drivers, we naturally want to know how our own Ford models of the future will be adapting. For example, will Ford have Apple CarPlay? Read the rest of this entry »
Firecracker 700 Sale at Holiday
Last year we did the Firecracker 600 at Holiday Automotive, the goal of which was to sell 600 vehicles (across all of our stores) during the month of June and in the run up to the 4th of July. This year, we think we can do one better — one HUNDRED better, that is! It’s the Firecracker 700 at Holiday this 2015, and we couldn’t be more excited for the challenge we’ve set out for ourselves. Throughout the month of June until the 4th, every vehicle we sell at any Holiday store — new, use, Certified Pre-Owned, whatever the case may be — contributes to the tally.
Will we get to 700 by the 4th? Hard to say for sure, but we know one thing: We’re going to do everything in our power to try, and for anyone car shopping in our area during this time that’s got some great implications. Namely, savings! Check out some of what’s on offer now here in our Ford store during this once-a-year event at Holiday: Read the rest of this entry »

So, you’re thinking about doing some trailering this summer — maybe you’ve got a boat, an RV, or a trailer for hauling a whole bunch of stuff… whatever the situation is, you’ve probably gone through the backing-up rigmarole a hundred times, having someone (a disgruntled spouse, perhaps) stand behind and wave you forward, back, over, over, other way, back, back, okay, forward, over… You know the drill.
