“We know how important extracurricular activities are to our high school students, and as part of this community, we want to help,” said Tom Giordano, President at Maplecrest Ford of Mendham New Jersey. “This is why we’re excited to raise money for West Morris Mendham High School, meanwhile introducing parents, teenagers and other drivers to our high-quality lineup and innovative safety technologies.” The event will feature the Ford Explorer, Focus, Escape, Fusion, Lincoln MKX, and Lincoln MKZ

Since the start of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program in 2007, more than 275,000 test-drives at more than 1,500 events have generated over $5 million in donations for high schools nationwide.

In addition to raising much-needed revenue for high school extracurricular activities, the program gives participants the chance to experience Ford’s exciting new vehicles and leading safety technologies, including:

•   MyKeyTM, a system that allows parents to limit a vehicle’s top speed and audio volume to encourage safe driving behavior in teens;
•   SYNC®, the fully integrated, in-vehicle voice-activated communications and entertainment system with 911 AssistTM, Vehicle Health Report and GPS-based features including business search and call completion;
•   Blind Spot Information System (BLISTM) with Cross Traffic Alert, which uses radar to check the blind spot and helps notify the driver of approaching traffic when backing out of a parking spot; and,
•   ActiveParkAssist, a technology that helps drivers position the vehicle for parallel parking and then steer it into a parking spot without touching the steering wheel.

Awarded 2011 Truck of the Year at the North American International Auto Show, the completely reinvented Ford Explorer combines exceptional handling and towing capability with sleek lines and class-leading fuel economy. With a suite of connectivity and safety features, including MyFord TouchTM, terrain management system, and the world’s first rear inflatable seatbelt, America’s first SUV remains America’s favorite.

The 2012 Ford Focus, the company’s most significant global nameplate, delivers smart features, spirited performance and 40 mpg fuel economy packaged in modern, European-inspired design finishes. The all-new Focus Titanium model promises to appeal to drivers shifting from larger, premium vehicles looking for sporty handling; while the high-performance Focus ST with turbocharged, direct- injected EcoBoostTM power will get enthusiasts' hearts racing.

With newly-redesigned exteriors, improved interior craftsmanship, and class- exclusive MyFordTouchTM driver connect technology, the dramatically refreshed 2011 Ford Edge and Edge Sport offer a unique crossover experience. Ford’s advanced engine valve-train technology – Ti-VCT (twin independent variable camshaft timing) – helps Edge V6 achieve best-in-class power and torque with unbeatable fuel economy of 19 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.
