We are in the holiday season and giving thanks. We at South Bay Ford are grateful to our Southern California customers and our dedicated team of employees throughout the year. This journey has been marked by milestones, shared experiences, and a commitment to positively impacting our community.

Our Southern California customers have been the heartbeat of our dealership, and we want to express our appreciation for your trust and loyalty. Your continued support fuels our passion for providing exceptional service and delivering your dream Ford vehicle. It’s your satisfaction and smiles that drive us to go the extra mile, and for that, we are truly thankful.

In the spirit of gratitude and community engagement, we proudly highlight our year-long sponsorship for two incredible organizations: Camp Conrad Chinnock and Mychal’s Learning Place. These partnerships have allowed us to extend our commitment beyond the showroom and into the lives of those who need encouragement.

Camp Conrad Chinnock holds a special place in our hearts. This remarkable camp is dedicated to providing a transformative experience for children with diabetes. We have collaborated with the camp throughout the year to sponsor events, donate resources, and raise awareness about their incredible work. It’s been an honor to contribute to an organization that empowers children, fostering resilience and camaraderie in the face of unique challenges.

Equally close to our hearts is our collaboration with Mychal’s Learning Place. This organization is dedicated to serving individuals with developmental disabilities, creating a space for learning, growth, and inclusion. Our year-long employee volunteer programs, fundraisers, and awareness campaigns help Mychal’s Learning Place continue positively impacting the lives of those they serve.

None of this would be possible without our exceptional team’s dedication and hard work. To our employees, thank you for your tireless efforts, unwavering commitment, and passion for excellence. Your contributions extend beyond the dealership, shaping a positive, caring environment that echoes our commitment to community service.

Reflecting on the past year, we are grateful for the Southern California community, our customers, and our team. Together, we have made a difference, creating a ripple effect of kindness and support extending beyond our showroom.

As we move into the holiday season and beyond, we look forward to continuing this journey of gratitude, service, and community building with all of you.

Thank you, Southern California, for being the driving force behind our success. We are truly grateful for every one of you.

At South Bay Lincoln, we’re thrilled to introduce the epitome of automotive luxury – the 2024 Lincoln Navigator. As Southern California’s premier dealership, we take pride in bringing you the latest and most exceptional vehicles, and the 2024 Navigator is no exception.

Elevating the Standard of Luxury

The 2024 Lincoln Navigator represents a fusion of exquisite design, cutting-edge technology, and unparalleled performance. Like all Navigators before it, it’s huge and opulent. From the moment you lay eyes on its bold, sculpted exterior, you’ll recognize that this is more than a vehicle; it’s a statement of sophistication and refined taste.

What’s New for 2024

The 2024 model year brings subtle yet impactful updates, ensuring the Navigator remains a trendsetter in the luxury SUV segment. 2024 Navigators have full-time four-wheel drive vs. only rear-wheel drive. The standard base model is now the “Premiere” level, and it is available with the optional BlueCruise 1.0 hands-free driving assistance system. Lincoln’s Flight Blue Metallic color is back and replaces the Ocean Blue.

Exterior Elegance

The Navigator’s exterior design seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with classic elegance. The signature Lincoln grille makes a powerful statement, complemented by sleek lines and distinctive lighting that enhances visibility and adds a touch of drama to the road.

Interior Opulence

Step inside the 2024 Lincoln Navigator to find spacious comfort. Premium materials like open-pore wood trim, meticulous craftsmanship, and spacious interiors define the cabin. The Navigator’s third-row seating ensures that every passenger experiences the ride with the same level of comfort as the driver.

Ok, the driver does get some special treatment. The driver seat has a 30-way heated and ventilated massaging seat with the upper trims. The seats are sculptural and customizable. You can even adjust the left and right thigh supports.

The Navigator has seating for up to eight people to enjoy ample room. There is 1.1 inches more legroom in the Navigator’s third row. The size is a win when it comes to stretching out, or it’s time for vacation.

Navigators come in short- and long-wheelbase versions. With the short-wheelbase models, fold the third row and have more abundant cargo space. Long-wheelbase L models have more cargo room even with the third row in use.

Technological Innovation:

The Navigator is not just a vehicle; it’s a tech-forward command center. The 2024 base model boasts an upgraded infotainment system with a 13.2-inch touchscreen display, USB ports in every row, and a 14-speaker Revel stereo system. The 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D stereo is part of the optional luxury package. Overall, the infotainment system is attractive and intuitive, with seamless smartphone integration.

Safety and Driver Assist

Advanced driver-assistance features enhance safety, making every drive enjoyable and secure. You’ll have blind-spot monitoring, automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving mode and more.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2024 Lincoln Navigator continues its legacy of powerful performance. The robust engine delivers a smooth yet commanding driving experience, whether navigating city streets or venturing off the beaten path. The Navigator effortlessly combines power and precision, making driving exhilarating yet refined.

The 2024 Navigator has only one engine-and-transmission combination, but with 440 horsepower, it’s all you need. The turbo six pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission reaching 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and delivers 8700 pounds of maximum towing capacity. The 2024 Navigator is responsive and speedy, and the 10-speed automatic shuffles through gears smoothly to avoid waking dozing passengers.

Exceptional Ownership Experience

As your trusted dealership, we are committed to ensuring that your 2024 Lincoln Navigator enjoyment goes beyond the initial excitement of ownership. Our knowledgeable and dedicated team is here to guide you through every step, from choosing the perfect configuration to providing top-tier maintenance and service.

Owning an EV is surprisingly easy. Ford is committed to making it even easier by teaming up with a best-in-class partner to keep your all-electric Mustang Mach-E charged.

Qmerit & Mustang Mach-E

You may think any electrician can install your charging equipment, but electric vehicle charging differs from other appliances in your house.

Adding a 240-volt outlet in your garage may seem simple. However, unlike appliances like your electric clothes dryer or electric kitchen range you use a couple of times a week for a few hours, you’ll probably charge your Mustang overnight, night after night. Not all electrical equipment is made to handle EV charging, and many electrical contractors aren’t up to speed on the EV charging industry.

That’s where Qmerit comes in because they specialize in electric vehicle charging equipment. Qmerit has a network of Qmerit-certified and licensed electrical contractors. Many of these contractors have been operating in your neighborhood already, but Qmerit vets and conducts background checks on them. Then, they train the electricians to install electrical vehicle charging equipment and follow special guidelines.

Qmerit installers use specific best practices

• Only use industrial-grade 240-v outlets, not the outlets that you can pick up at a local hardware store
• Only use copper wire – never aluminum; aluminum wire expands and contracts 30% more than copper wire; over time, the expansion and contraction can actually push the screws off the connections, causing a fire hazard
• Make sure all connections are correctly torqued to manufacturer specifications and use torquing wrenches, not just hand-tightened
• Pull permits so everything is done to code
• Manage the permitting and inspection process

Qmerit has the highest customer satisfaction score in the commercial service industry. The Qmerit customer success team closely monitors your installation to deliver a seamless experience every step of the way, and they offer an annual safety and service plan so you can have peace of mind that your system is performing safely and correctly year after year.

The Qmerit electricians even proactively check on the latest California rebates and incentives for your EV charging equipment.

Get Charged Up

Every Mustang Mack-E comes standard with the Ford mobile charger, so you’re always within a charge when you need it. The charger is stored under the carpeted panel in the rear cargo area. It includes two connectors, one that plugs into a 120-volt outlet and the other for a 240-volt outlet.

The design of the charge port is a great feature. It’s located in front of the driver’s side door. Press on the center-right edge to unlatch it. When you open the charge port door, a helpful light above the port illuminates to help you plug in the charge cord.

With some other cars, it’s hard to see the progress of charging, but the Mustang Mach-E has a charge status indicator light to the right of the charge port that shows you the charging status. It’s a light ring with five zones; each zone represents 20% charge status.

The light pulses to indicate the zone that is in the process of charging. When all five zones are lit, the charge is at 100%. You can also check the battery charge status in the cluster on your interior sync screen and on the FordPass app.

Take One Out for a Gallop

Come test drive the new Mustang Mach-E at South Bay Ford, located in Hawthorne right off the 405. Contact our team or visit us today. We proudly serve the greater Southern California area.

The 2023 Ford Ranger is the goldilocks of Ford pickup trucks. If the Ford Maverick is too small for you and the F-150 is too big, the Ford Ranger can fit perfectly within your lifestyle. It’s easily maneuverable and has a 7500-pound maximum towing capacity and off-road capability.

The mid-size Ranger is a no-nonsense pickup capable of regular truck tasks at an approachable scale.

2023 SuperCab OR SuperCrew

The Ranger has the options that fit your needs.

• The SuperCab fits two people upfront in bucket seats and two passengers in the rear. The SuperCab is paired with a 6-foot bed, providing 51.8 cubic feet of cargo volume for hauling.
• The SuperCrew version has four full-size doors, under seat storage, with room for five passengers and their gear. SuperCrew has a 5-foot bed providing 43.3 cubic feet of volume.

Safety

Your Ford Ranger is ready to help keep you safe. With Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), the Ford Co-Pilot360 safety suite is standard on each Ranger, providing peace of mind on your travels. Lane-Keeping Assist and Blind Spot Information System are available too—even if you’re towing a trailer. Optional Adaptive Cruise Control maintains your speed when the road is clear and slows your truck when it detects slower traffic ahead. The Ranger also comes standard with forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking—features not available from all competitors.

Performance

The Ford Ranger is the only mid-size truck that’s built Ford Tough. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine has power to spare, pumping out 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. And thanks to the standard 10-speed automatic transmission and the auto start/stop technology, it’s possible to get up to 26 miles per gallon.

The fully-independent double A-arm front suspension uses nitrogen-pressurized shocks to keep you comfortable and in control. The Terrain Management System, with four selectable drive modes, allows the Ranger to adapt to new road conditions. Two-wheel drive is standard, and electronic shift-on-the-fly 4×4 is optional.

2023 Ranger or 2024 Ranger?

If you’re looking for a better price, the 2023 provides excellent value for a great vehicle. If you want the newest, technologically advanced, modern pickup truck on the road, well, maybe wait for the 2024. Ford engineered comprehensive updates to the 2024 model. Here are a few of the exciting major changes:

• Engine options: The redesigned 2024 Ford Ranger comes with the 2.3L turbocharged engine in its base trim, the same as the 2023 model. However, you can now upgrade to a new 2.7L turbocharged V6 engine that cranks up to 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque.
• Infotainment: The 2023 standard 8-inch touchscreen size is gone. The 2024 new infotainment system has two touchscreen options: 10.1 or an upgraded 12-inch display with the latest Sync 4A system, similar to what you find in the electric Mustang Mach E and F-150 Lightning. The 2024 also has two USB-A and two USB-C ports.
• Off-roading: The 2024 Ranger provides more ground clearance for more off-roading opportunities. You will be thrilled with the Ranger’s terrain management system that adapts to ground conditions. It can adjust power delivery, torque bias, and more. For example, if you’re barreling through some snow, sand or mud, it will adjust the truck appropriately.
• Design elements: The 2024 Ford Ranger looks more aggressive and sturdier. It is also wider and offers more passenger space since the SuperCrew cab is standard. From the freshly designed grill to the many interior upgrades, you will love all the work that went into making this dream truck.

While heavy-duty pickup trucks are still standard tools of the trade for contractors and people who move around equipment, the F-150 Lightning can also become your new family car. Given this electric heavy-duty pickup truck’s fantastic design, convenience and safety features, you, your family and your friends can travel in style and comfort.

Practically Designed for Users

The interior design is so practical and user-friendly. The doors have spaces for keys and phones. There are plenty of drink holders, two glove compartments, a big center console, tons of legroom and headroom. All Lightnings come with a crew cab. An adult can easily sit in the middle back passenger seat with child car seats on either side.

Storage & Workspace

More people means more stuff. You don’t have to worry because you can bring a lot of stuff on the road in an F-150 Lightning. In addition to the truck bed, the F-150 has added storage areas. Flip up the rear seats for functional storage spaces. You’ll also find a fabulous optional hidden lockable storage box that folds out from beneath the floor to stow your valuables.

You also have ample center console space. Ford designers went all out to enable you to even work from your truck. Get this, the gear selector can motor down into a completely flat position, and the top of the console folds out to reveal a big, flat work surface to use, like a desk for working on your laptop and laying out papers.

Mega Space Frunk

This is the actual name of the F-150 Lightning front trunk. If you haven’t seen a frunk yet, it’s a blend of front and truck and refers to storage space in the front of the vehicle. Electric vehicles don’t have combustible engines, so there is open space in the front under the hood. The F-150 Lightning has 14.1 cubic feet of space in the frunk.

To help you envision the roominess, did you know that a 14 cubic foot freezer can hold more than 250 pounds of food? It even has a drainable underfloor, which can double as a food or beverage container. The frunk is large enough to fit two carry-on bags, two golf club sets, and more. If you carry something heavy in the frunk, you can secure it with the four heavy tie-downs in each corner. There are so many ways to use the frunk – you can even use it as a sitting area at your kid’s soccer matches.

Plenty of Power

This is the Ford F-150 Lightning, so the frunk delivers on its Mega-ness with four 120V electrical outlets, USB-a and USB-c ports. You can plug in toaster ovens, air pumps, charge scooters, and electric bikes – the possibilities are endless.

But wait, there is more. The F-150 Lightning Pro turns into a mobile generator with Pro Power Onboard. Pro Power delivers 9.6kW in the bed with four 120V outlets plus one 240V outlet. You also have the ability to customize your range reserve, giving you the control to make sure you have plenty of charge to get back home.

Ford Family Fun & Safety

Since the Lightning is an EV, it provides a smoother, quieter ride. Ford switched out the rear axle with an independent rear suspension to accommodate the electric battery, and you have a nice, quiet ride without the mechanical valves, fans and gears of traditional combustion engines.

Of course, the F-150 Lightning comes with Ford’s impressive safety features like lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, blind spot warning and more.

Consumer Reports named Ford’s BlueCruise its top-rated active driving assistance system this year. With Ford’s high safety standards and innovative technology, the future of driving isn’t just about electrification. It’s about automation.

Want to keep up with the latest and greatest? Ford’s BlueCruise assistance system can help! Keep reading to find out how!

What Is BlueCruise?

One innovative and most advanced feature of the Ford lineup is the highly-anticipated BlueCruise technology. But what is it exactly?

BlueCruise is an active driving assistance (ADA) system. ADA uses your car’s adaptive cruise control (ACC) to manage speed and lane centering assistance (LCA) to control steering. ACC is the advanced form of cruise control that brakes or accelerates to keep your car a set distance from other vehicles in your lane. While LCA is the steering support to keep your car at or near the center of the lane.

BlueCruise allows for true hands-free driving on prequalified sections of divided highways called Hands-Free Blue Zones that make up over 130,000 miles of North American roads. BlueCruise uses blue lighting on the digital instrument cluster to indicate when you are in a hands-free Blue Zone.

Ford’s BlueCruise continues to evolve with updates sent directly from Ford to ensure you get the best experience, just like the automatic updates on your mobile phone.

What are the Benefits of BlueCruise?

The safety benefits of BlueCruise are paramount. 94% of serious crashes are due to human error; lane assist technology and crash prevention help to save lives and reduce injuries.

Reduces stress

Ford is enabling a new way of collaboratively driving with the technology in your car, making it safer and more comfortable, leading to less stress while driving. BlueCruise can allow drivers to relax their grip and periodically let go of the steering wheel. Your car can maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and can keep you from crossing over a lane into opposing traffic.

Enjoy the scenery

Southern California is one of the most beautiful places in the world! With driving assist technology, you can look at our stunning landscapes, architecture and people. But remember, this is not a substitute for safe driving practices.

Which Ford Models Have BlueCruise?

The 2023 Ford Models with BlueCruise currently available include:

• 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV

• 2023 Ford Expedition

• 2023 Ford F-150

• 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning

Blue Skies Ahead for BlueCruise

Ford’s BlueCruise technology continues to refine the use of sensors, cameras, and radar to detect and respond to your vehicle’s surroundings, providing a safer and more convenient driving experience.

We strive to eliminate human driver error while creating more time and space for what truly matters in life. We hope that in the future, this technology can even improve the mobility of those who cannot currently drive due to age, disability, or other factors.

“I get excited just looking at the key. I can’t wait to see this thing. Welcome back to South Bay Ford. I think this is the video that I’m most excited to do. Why? Because it is the 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor. This is the Beast, this is the one. Let’s take a look at this thing, starting from the exterior. We’re gonna make our way to the end here. Let’s get started.

See, it’s even the little caps here that say ‘Raptor’ around them.

All right, now I gotta show you what’s underneath as well, right? We’ve got a Big Bend right next to it, and you can tell side by side that the Raptor is going to sit taller. One of the things I noticed as I walk around this is that everything is labeled as accessory-ready, which means that you can look these up to see, ‘Okay, there are additional things I can purchase if I want to,’ and you know exactly where they’re going and what else you can do with them. The Raptor logo on the back. Let’s open this up, there’s your back door once again, accessory-ready. You can get grills, etc. for this back door, and then both pop open as you can see.

Those seats will obviously fold down 60/40, featuring an additional 12 volts right here. Then speakers, you have them on both sides, that one over here as well, and then underneath is additional storage as well as your jack and the equipment you’re gonna need to change the tire. On this side, you have more accessory-ready items you can purchase for the back. Let’s jump in. That orange trim on the door as well as up here. Notorious orange stripe for the Raptor. Raptor logo in the seats.

First, press start. The speedometer telling me I don’t have my seat belt. I’m not going anywhere. So standing right here on the steering wheel, here’s your controls. This is your full-size display, touchscreen display. Below that you also have your hard buttons which you can control most of this stuff with. This gives you the third side view just to show you what the vehicle has. It shows me my surroundings. I throw it into reverse, it shows us the back. We cannot move. This also has your heated steering wheel, heated seats, and air conditioning settings, and then your different settings you can control by temperature. And as you move that, it also moves up on the touchscreen. The feature I just noticed, additional charge support up top. Good, now up top we have the removable two separate tops or you can remove everything. All right, let’s hop into the back. So I sit at about 5’10” and I still have plenty of space here. And then just below here we have our different charge ports and then obviously to roll up and down your windows. And that’s not a step. Thank you all right, so what do you think of the 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor Edition? Super hard to find. I’m very happy that we got one here to show you. This is my first time seeing one in person as well. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks for watching South Bay Ford.”
