Herald as the most iconic chase scene in cinema history, the Mustang Bullitt became a symbol of legendary proportions. From Steven McQueen, to the muted Highlander Green paint, the Bullitt is etched into history as one of the greatest muscle cars of all time. Now, Ford has brought back the speedy icon on its 2019 Mustang platform. The all-new 2019 Mustang Bullitt is gritty, powerful and just as beautiful as before and now it’s available in its traditional Dark Highland Green (or Shadow Black) at Randall Reed dealerships around Greater Houston and Dallas.

2014 Ford Flex

2014 Ford Flex

There are so many choices when it comes to picking the right SUV and it can be an overwhelming process. That is why we created this comparison of the top SUV contenders for 2014. We put these SUVs to the test in our comparison video that includes the 2014 Ford Flex, 2014 GMC Acadia and the 2013 Dodge Durango (the 2014 Dodge Durango was not yet available) We compared these SUVs on engine performance, interior, technology and safety.

Check out the comparison video here…

The 2014 Ford Flex features a twin turbo V-6 EcoBoost engine churning out 365 horsepower with 350 foot pounds of torque.  The Flex produces this impressive power while still delivering similar fuel economy. Fighting for a close second is the Dodge Durango with 290 horsepower and 260 foot pounds of torque. Coming in last is the GMC Acadia with 288 horsepower and 270 foot pounds of torque.

Moving inside these top-of-the-line SUVs, you will notice ample space coupled with several comfort features.  Claiming the top spot again, is the Ford Flex with more rear passenger head, leg, and hip room.  The Flex also comes available with leather-wrapped steering wheel with wood inlay, ambient lighting, solar tinted glass, front-row center console and comfortable seating for seven.

The GMC Acadia is sufficient in space with ample front room and available heated and cooled seats. Finding their way to keep up, the Dodge Durango offers less interior room. The unique shifter may catch your eye. It resembles an old radio dial.

You want the best technology when on the road, right? The Dodge Durango offers UConnect access system, and a 7-inch customizable digital gauge display.

Ford Flex stands out with available rear view camera, BLIS® with cross-traffic alert, push button start, Sony Audio system with 12 speakers, Navigation System with SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link, SYNC with MyFord Touch and HD Radio.

The GMC Acadia, offers the Intellilink system,  but according to Edmunds.com, “Intellilink is sometimes slow to process touch inputs, which can make it frustrating to use.”

Protecting your family and having the latest safety features is must have in a family SUV. This category was a three-way tie with all of these vehicles having advanced safety measures and receiving excellent safety ratings.

These SUVs brought it all to the table however it is clear that the Ford Flex is the real winner. Now that you have all the facts visit us online at www.ReedHasIt.com 

Large Car Sedan Showdown: 2014 Ford Taurus vs 2014 Chevrolet Impala vs 2013 Toyota Avalon

2014 Ford Taurus Limited

2014 Ford Taurus Limited

The 2014 Ford Taurus is winning over more consumers and reviewers with impressive engine capability as well as great gas mileage.

The 2014 Ford Taurus is now available at ReedHasIt.com (Serving Texas and Oklahoma). We put together a short comparison video of the top competitors in the affordable large car category. The Ford Taurus faces off with 2014 Chevrolet Impala LTZ, and the 2013 Toyota Avalon XLE because the 2014 model is not yet available.

The Ford Taurus leads the pack in engine performance with a 2.0 liter EcoBoost I-4 engine that packs the power of a V-6 engine and the efficiency of a 4 cylinder engine. The Taurus touts the best in class fuel economy for full size sedans with 22 city 32 highway and 26 combined miles per gallon.

The Avalon and Impala fall short with the Avalon’s 25 combined miles per gallon and the Impala with only 22 combined miles per gallon.

When you are looking for a new car you want the latest and greatest technology right? Once again the Ford Taurus takes charge in this area including BLIS® with Cross Traffic Alert, Push-Button Start, and SYNC® with MyFord Touch® including an 8-inch color LCD touch screen. The Toyota Avalon has Entune with a 6.1-inch touch-screen and an 8 speaker sound system. The worst of the bunch is the Impala with Chevrolet MyLink and optional navigation system with some reviewers say the rearview camera resolution is poor.

When you take a step inside these full-size cars you will notice ample interior features. The Ford Taurus has standard heated and cooled seats, optional rear heated seats, more front and rear hip room, and class exclusive Multi-Contour Active Motion Front Seats that has a 6-way lumbar and subtle rolling-pattern massage providing a more relaxed drive.

Reviewers say the Avalon’s cabin boasts an attractive interior design and premium materials, which gives it an upscale feel. The redesigned interior of the Chevy Impala has gained positive reviews but some have noted some shortcomings, such as flimsy plastics on the center console, which detract from the premium feel.

All three cars were crash tested and given a 5 Star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Toyota Avalon and Chevrolet Impala put up a good fight but it looks like The Ford Taurus will be taking home the championship belt. So when you’re ready for your test-drive, visit us online at ReedHasIt.com
