The Ford EcoBoost Challenge to Visit Cincinnati - Mark Williams Auto Group

CINCINNATI - April 17, 2015 - PRLog -- It’s EcoBoost Challenge time!  The concept is simple: Ford is giving drivers a  free, head-to-head test of a new vehicle versus their current vehicle.  Ford wants to know which car customers will prefer.  Hint: they have a pretty good inkling that everyone will favor the Ford.

This challenge will last through the end of June and travel to 17 locations throughout the country.  The closest one to Beechmont Ford in Ohio will actually take place in Cincinnati on May 30th!  It will happen at Forest Fair Village Mall on the weekend of May 30^th.  So far on the tour, Ford has featured some of its top vehicles including the 2015 F-150, Edge, Explorer, and Mustang.  These vehicles had the challengers proclaiming, “I’ll definitely be buying a Ford!” for one major reason: the EcoBoost Engines.

EcoBoost is a blend of two technologies that aren’t necessarily unique to Ford; however, Ford did coin and market the term EcoBoost.  The two technologies that make up an EcoBoost engine are turbocharging and direct injection.  When it’s put in more common terms like that you probably realize that you’ve heard of many other vehicles that have turbocharged, direct injected engines, but unless they’re a Ford they’re not EcoBoost.  While people see the positives of getting the extra Eco (fuel economy) and extra Boost (acceleration), criticisms have come up that say the various EcoBoost engines don’t deliver as much on the acceleration as they do on the fuel economy.  Nonetheless, it has been found to be a general consensus that the EcoBoost engines are just different enough to win people over.

Beechmont Ford in Ohio (http://www.beechmontford.com) has over 180 EcoBoost equipped Ford Vehicles in stock right now.  EcoBoost Engines can belong to anything from a Fusion to a Mustang, Explorer to an F-150.  Are you a business owner?  We even have 2015 Ford Transits with EcoBoost Engines that will allow you to save more money at the pump when filling up on fuel.  We just want you to keep all this information in mind when making a new car purchase.

The EcoBoost Challenge will be traveling through Houston, Louisville, Charlotte, Phoenix, Seattle and Chicago before it takes over Cincinnati on May 30th!  Check out the complete list of cities and dates below.  You will even have a chance to win a brand new 2015 Ford Edge if you attend one of the challenges.  It’s sure to be a fun start to summer with the Ford EcoBoost Challenge Tour!
