When it comes to making the most of summer, there’s nothing quite like packing up and hitting the open road. Whether it’s a weekend getaway to the lake or a cross-country adventure, choosing the right vehicle can make all the difference. At Bates Ford in Lebanon, Sales Manager Billy Mullinax says Ford has families covered—combining comfort, technology, and capability for unforgettable road trips.
Two of his top picks? The Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition.
“These models offer incredible seating and cargo space, powerful towing capabilities, and cutting-edge technology,” Mullinax explains. “They’re built to handle family adventures with ease.”
Both SUVs feature Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system, available rear-seat entertainment, and multiple USB ports to keep everyone connected and entertained. For parents, Ford Co-Pilot360 provides peace of mind with features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring.
But Ford doesn’t stop at function—it’s about making the ride enjoyable. “Families love the smooth ride quality, optional adaptive suspension, and smart storage throughout,” Mullinax adds. “You’re traveling in comfort, even on the long haul.”
As families prioritize versatility, Ford continues to evolve—offering hybrid and plug-in models, Wi-Fi hotspots, and flexible seating configurations. “It’s about giving families room to grow, move, and make memories.”
Bates Ford has been proudly serving Lebanon since 2008 and recently opened a state-of-the-art facility with expanded amenities, pickup & delivery, and mobile service for maximum convenience. “We make it easy for customers near and far to buy the perfect vehicle,” Mullinax says. “Just be honest about your goals and let our team do the rest.”
And don’t forget the Bates Ford motto, “We’ll trade for anything that don’t eat!”
This summer, the road is calling. And at Bates Ford, the ride to fun begins with the perfect Ford fit for your family.
