Power 2024 U.S. Initial Quality Study, Ford has made a significant leap, climbing 14 positions to secure the No. 9 spot, up from No. 23 last year.

In addition to the Bronco Sport, other Ford models also received praise.

Power, also commended Ford’s efforts, stating, “Ford’s achievement of receiving the award for the Bronco Sport in the Small SUV segment shows their continued commitment to Initial Quality.” At Bob Allen Ford - Ottawa, we are proud to offer these award-winning vehicles to our customers.

​The Ford Maverick® pickup isn't just a versatile, reliable vehicle—it's a canvas for your creativity. With the Ford Integrated Tether System (FITS), you can personalize your Maverick in ways you've only imagined. By leveraging the power of 3D printing, you can design and produce your own accessories, perfectly tailored to your needs and lifestyle. How Does FITS Work? FITS is an innovative feature designed to maximize your Ford Maverick's usability. It consists of a series of slots located at the rear of the center console and under the seat storage bins, allowing you to securely attach various accessories. While Ford offers a range of accessories compatible with FITS, the true magic lies in its compatibility with custom 3D-printed parts. Creating Your Own Accessories Using a 3D printer or a third-party printing service, you can craft accessories that enhance your Maverick's functionality and style. Whether you need a specific tool holder, a unique storage solution, or a custom aesthetic touch, 3D printing offers endless possibilities. Ford even provides downloadable CAD files to get you started on your customization journey. Visit Ford's official guide for detailed instructions and resources. Design Guidelines for 3D Printing To ensure your custom accessories are both practical and safe, Ford’s engineers have outlined a few guidelines: ​ Breakaway Feature: Incorporate a breakaway feature to avoid damaging the console. Maximum Breakaway Threshold: Keep this threshold at a maximum of 17 lbs. Additional Support: For heavier accessories, utilize the vehicle floor or the area surrounding the FITS slot for added support. Secure Attachment: Ensure all accessories and stowed items are properly secured to prevent movement during driving, which could lead to personal injury. ​By following these guidelines, you can create durable, functional accessories that seamlessly integrate with your Maverick. Experience the Ford Maverick at Bob Allen Ford - Ottawa While the idea of customizing your Ford Maverick with 3D-printed accessories is exciting, nothing compares to experiencing the vehicle firsthand. At Bob Allen Ford - Ottawa, we invite you to come and test drive the Maverick. Discover its innovative features, including FITS, and see how this pickup can be tailored to your unique needs. Our knowledgeable staff is here to guide you through the process, from exploring the vehicle's features to understanding how you can customize it with 3D printing. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or new to the world of 3D printing, we'll help you make the most of your Ford Maverick.

At Bob Allen Ford - Ottawa, we're excited to announce a groundbreaking development in the world of electric vehicles (EVs) that might just make you reconsider your next car purchase. Ford has taken a bold step forward, and we're proud to be a part of it. Recently, Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E retail customers have become the first among non-Tesla automakers to gain access to Tesla Superchargers throughout the U.S. and Canada. This partnership opens up over 15,000 Tesla Superchargers, effectively doubling the accessibility of reliable DC fast charging on the BlueOval™ Charge Network. But why does this matter? According to a recent Cox Automotive Consumer Sentiment Study, the lack of charging stations ranks as the second most significant barrier to purchasing an electric vehicle, right after price. As EV prices continue to decrease, improving access to reliable fast charging becomes crucial in helping more customers confidently choose an EV. To express gratitude to our EV customers, Ford is offering the Fast Charging Adapter at no cost to new and existing customers enrolled in the BlueOval™ Charge Network until June 30, 2024. This adapter, required to charge at upgraded Tesla Superchargers, is an industry-first opportunity available exclusively to Ford retail EV customers. Don't miss out on this offer! Reserve your Fast Charging Adapter today to ensure you're set up for seamless charging experiences. If you're a future Ford EV customer, you can purchase the adapter directly from Ford for $230, including estimated tax and shipping. Even our Ford Pro commercial customers are included in this initiative. If you're a Ford Pro commercial customer, expect to be contacted this Spring to order your adapter, ensuring your fleet stays powered up and ready to go. And it gets even better. The BlueOval™ Charge Network simplifies the charging process by providing a seamless stored payment account through the FordPass App or Charge Assist App (soon to be "Public Charge") in your vehicle's touchscreen. Once you've set up your account and activated Plug & Charge, Tesla Superchargers will support Plug & Charge with Ford EVs. This means all you have to do is plug in, and charging will automatically start, with charges managed through FordPass. But that's not all. In the future, Ford will introduce next-generation electric vehicles with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector built-in, eliminating the need for an adapter to access Tesla Superchargers. So, are you ready to make the switch to electric vehicles? With access to Tesla Superchargers, complimentary Fast Charging Adapters, and seamless charging experiences through the BlueOval™ Charge Network, there's never been a better time to join the electric revolution. Visit us at Bob Allen Ford - Ottawa today to explore our lineup of F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E vehicles and embark on an electrifying journey towards a sustainable future.
