Browse InventoryElectric vs Hybrid Vehicles
The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) has sparked a revolution in the automotive world, but here in Texas, drivers have options. Do you want to venture fully electric or dip your toes in with a hybrid? Both offer advantages, but they are two different vehicles, and it’s important to get a handle on the differences as you head to your dealer in San Antonio to look at the options.
Hybrids: A Bridge Between Worlds in Texas
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor and battery pack. The ICE primarily powers the car at highway speeds, while the electric motor takes over during stop-and-go traffic and low-speed driving. This synergy reduces fuel consumption and emissions, particularly in urban environments, and the ICE and braking can keep the battery charged.
Types of Hybrids
Full hybrids
Both the ICE and electric motor can independently propel the car in these, allowing for pure electric driving over short distances.
Mild hybrids
Here, the electric motor primarily assists the ICE, boosting fuel efficiency but not offering pure electric driving. Examples include the Ford Escape Hybrid.
Electric: No Emissions for a Cleaner Texas
Electric vehicles (EVs) rely solely on electric motors powered by battery packs. They produce zero tailpipe emissions. While charging infrastructure is still evolving, advancements in battery technology are steadily increasing their range, making EVs a viable option for many drivers.
Types of EVs
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)
The most common type of EV, are powered solely by electricity and require regular charging.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
Combine a larger battery pack with an ICE, these allow for extended pure electric driving before the ICE takes over. Examples include the Ford Escape PHEV. Unlike other hybrids, you have to plug these in to charge the battery.
Making the Choice At Your Dealer in San Antonio
The choice between a hybrid and an electric vehicle ultimately depends on your individual needs and driving habits. Hybrids generally have a lower initial cost than EVs, while offering long-term savings on fuel. If you primarily drive in the city, an EV could be a good choice. For longer trips and frequent highway driving, a hybrid might be more practical.
Access to charging stations is crucial for EV ownership, too. Assess your home charging options and public charging availability in your area before you buy. If you regularly need to make long drives, you’ll want to check whether there are convenient charging stations along your regular route.
Whichever path you choose, both hybrid and electric vehicles represent a significant step towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for transportation. Come see us at Jordan Ford to check out all the efficient options.
How Often Should Your Ford Get an Oil Change?
These days, most drivers should have their car’s oil changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. However, this recommended interval differs by model and the exact type of oil used. Your personal driving conditions might also influence how rapidly your motor oil degrades. Let’s look in detail at how frequently you should visit your local Ford dealership to refresh your engine’s oil.
How Often Should Your Ford Get an Oil Change?
Check Your Manual and Warranty
It’s always wise to check for the recommended oil type and servicing interval in your owner’s manual. If still valid, your vehicle’s powertrain warranty will also stipulate a required schedule for changing your oil. It’s best to stick to these recommendations to keep your vehicle in optimal condition and also to keep your warranty valid.
Consider Your Regular Driving Conditions
When you check your owner’s manual and warranty guidelines, you’re likely to read a separate optimal schedule for both normal and severe driving conditions. Severe conditions refer to any type of driving that puts the engine and oil under more pressure, causing the oil to wear down and degrade more rapidly, thus necessitating more frequent changes than usual.
If you regularly drive along very dusty, dirty, salty, or muddy roads, more particles are likely to get into the oil, contaminating it and making it degrade faster. Frequent short drives of under five miles can also put the engine and oil under more strain, as short trips don’t give the oil enough time to warm up to the optimal lubricating temperature. Towing trailers and driving long distances at low speeds also count as severe conditions.
Schedule Routine Servicing at Your Ford Dealership
Some drivers are unsure as to whether or not their usual driving conditions are severe or not. To help figure this out, you can periodically check your oil to see if it’s darkening in color and filling up with contaminants. Many modern vehicles also have an automatic oil life monitor, which can also help you keep abreast of the condition of your oil.
Additionally, you can ask a trusted technician at your local dealership for their two cents. With a wealth of expertise and experience, a good technician can work out the optimal schedule for you and your vehicle. They can then put a reminder on the sticker inside your driver-side window and also contact you with reminders whenever a scheduled servicing visit is coming up.

Ford Service Pick Up and Delivery
The key to driving your Ford for a long time is keeping up with your recommended maintenance schedule. However, many drivers have difficulty making room in their busy lives to stop by the dealership and wait for service to be completed. Fortunately, at Jordan Ford, you can use the Ford Pickup and Delivery service program at your convenience.
Ford Pickup and Delivery Service at Jordan Ford
The Ford Pickup and Delivery program does exactly what it says. If you can’t get your car to the dealership, then the dealership will pick up your car, service the vehicle at the dealership, and then deliver your car back to you. This convenience program is great for drivers who have busy lives. As long as your vehicle is driveable, you can have it picked up and delivered from any location, even your work office.
It’s important to note that this service is not for vehicles that require towing or roadside assistance. If your vehicle cannot be driven, then you will need to arrange a towing service to have your vehicle delivered to your dealership for service. This service also cannot be used for vehicles that are damaged in a collision.
How Long Does Service Take?
In general, the time required to complete your vehicle service will be determined by your maintenance needs. If you know what maintenance your car needs, then your dealership can give you a time estimate when you book your appointment. If you aren’t sure about your service needs, then your dealership can assess your vehicle and give you an estimate when your car is brought to the dealership for service.
Are All Routine Maintenance Services Eligible?
The Ford Pickup and Delivery program will help you keep up with all routine maintenance needs outlined in your owner’s manual. Maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, battery tests, filter checks, fluid top-ups, and more can all be completed when you use this service. Additionally, you can ask for specific services, such as new headlights, radiator repair, new tires, and vehicle inspections when you book this service.
How Can You Schedule Service?
To schedule Ford Pickup and Delivery service, you can contact your dealership directly and book a pickup time over the phone. If you prefer to schedule service using your smartphone, then you can use the FordPass App to schedule service at your local dealership. Your FordPass App will also include information about your recommended maintenance schedule so you know which repairs you need at the time of booking.
Don’t have time to bring your car to the dealership? No problem.

Call Jordan Ford Ltd to ask about this service today.
Ford Accessories
Whether you custom-ordered your Ford or you bought it as-is off the car lot, there may come a time when you want to purchase accessories at Jordan Ford. Installing genuine Ford accessories is one way San Antonio drivers can fully customize a vehicle to meet their daily needs and the demands of recreational activities.
Why Should You Buy Genuine Ford Accessories?
Accessories for your Ford will generally vary from vehicle to vehicle. Certain accessories are designed to only fit specific models from certain years, so it’s important to make sure you are buying accessories made for your vehicle when you want to customize your vehicle. Sometimes, you may be able to purchase factory-installed accessories, such as when you custom order a Ford.
Quality and Durability
Genuine Ford accessories are made with high-quality materials, which means these accessories are engineered to withstand daily wear and tear. Accessories such as hood protectors or door sill plates must endure weather, road debris, and other elements, so it’s best to opt for accessories that will last for years.
For accessories such as a trailer hitch or racks, durability is particularly important. The last thing you want is to attach something to your vehicle that isn’t secure. A loose trailer hitch or items falling off vehicle racks can be dangerous on the road and can even damage your vehicle. Overall, genuine accessories are a better long-term investment.
Compatibility
Compatibility is another crucial benefit of buying genuine Ford accessories. While aftermarket parts may be cheaper, there is also a large chance these parts will not fit your vehicle correctly. Incompatible parts can cause damage that voids your warranty, so it’s better to buy a genuine accessory crafted for your exact model. Additionally, some genuine accessories from Ford may have a limited warranty so you can protect your investment.
Can Jordan Ford in San Antonio Install Your Accessories?
If you buy accessories for your Ford after you purchase your vehicle, you have two options for installation. Some parts are simple enough to be installed at home, such as portable freezers and some trailer hitches. Other accessories are more complex, such as roof racks, bike racks, and graphics, so it might be better to schedule an appointment at your local Ford dealer to have your accessories installed.
What Accessories Can You Purchase?
There are a wide variety of accessories you can purchase to make your vehicle work for your lifestyle or improve your road safety in case of an emergency. Common accessories include floor mats, emergency roadside kits, jump starter kits, wheel lock kits, splash guards, fender flares, trailer hitches, roof carriers, and much more.
Accessories for your vehicle are the final touch to fully customize your Ford. To learn about ordering accessories, contact Jordan Ford Ltd today.
