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

Randall Reed, Reed Has It and the World Class Automotive family salutes teachers and all they do!

This is a very special week. It’s Teacher Appreciation Week — a time when we pause to recognize and thank all of the amazing teachers who give of themselves, their knowledge, care and support.

Teachers help mold and shape our children as well as our future. Many teachers often work many more hours than they are are paid for, step up to provide supplies on their own dime in some schools, and teachers share their intelligence, wisdom and patience day after day.

The Reed family was thrilled to get to be part of a very special recognition fro the Humble Independent School Distrect Teacher of the Year, Joanna Grigsby. Randall and Sherry Reed, along with Chuck Kramer, GM/Managing Partner of Planet Ford in Humble,awarded a  brand new 2013 Ford Escape to Ms. Grigsby.

In addition, each teacher of the year nominee received a $1,000 gift certificate to use for their down payment on a new Ford car, truck or SUV. In addition, each nominee was offered a free maintenance package for free from Ford. Teachers do so much for our kids. This is one small way we can express our gratitude.

All of our dealerships, from Oklahoma City to Dallas and Garland to Houston, Spring and Humble, Texas, believe in partnering with schools in our communities to help support both our kids and our teachers.

Take a moment to thank a teacher this week for all they do for us, our kids and our community every day.
