For more than a century, the Ford Motor Company has released some of the most interesting brands in the automotive world. From the Model T to the Mustang and from the F-150 pickup truck to the Escape crossover SUV, Ford models are synonymous with all-American automotive design and engineering.
Ford has always been known as an automaker that thrives on mass appeal; to this effect, the company offers various levels of customization for each new model.
How to Place Custom Ford Orders
We invite you to browse our website and evaluate our inventory of new Ford models; this is a good way to get an idea of the features, series, packages, and custom options available. It is important to remember that you are not limited to buying the new Ford models on our lot; if you happen to learn about a special package that we don't have, we can help you place a custom order starting with the model, exterior paint, and special packages.
Besides browsing the new Ford inventory at Heritage Ford, you can also contact our sales department and make an appointment to place special orders. Let's say you are interested in the Ford Bronco Sport Heritage Limited, but we only have the base Sport Heritage in our lot; in this case, you can still test-drive our Ford Bronco and wait for your custom order to be delivered.
Part of the charm of purchasing a new car is being able to request custom features. Many shoppers near Manteca, CA, are interested in the new Ford models in our lot, but many others inquire about trim levels or options they learned about while researching cars online.
It is not unusual for car buyers to fall in love with a new Ford sedan, pickup truck, or SUV after returning from a test drive around Tracy, CA, but this does not limit their choices to that particular model.
Let's say a car shopper takes a Ford Escape Hybrid for a test drive near Ripon, CA, but figures out that the plug-in version will work out better as a daily driver around Ceres, CA; if their desired model is on the lot, they could take it home that day. If the model needs to be ordered, this would be a good time to inquire about customization.
Understanding Custom Ford Options
Ford executives prefer to use the term "model" when referring to trim levels within their established brands; this is part of a traditional naming convention in the company, but it does not mean that their cars do not offer special trim packages. In most cases, Ford model trim levels are considered "special series" or "packages."
Each Ford brand has various models to differentiate vehicle brands. The impressive Ford Mustang Mach-E, for example, comes in five models:
- Select
- Premium
- California Route 1
- GT
- GT Performance
The Mustang Mach-E specs vary between models. If you go with the Mach-E Select, you get rear-wheel drive and a standard battery range. Starting with the Mach-E Premium, Ford offers upgrades such as greater capacity batteries and all-wheel drive performance. Still, you can always improve the range of the base Mach-E Select using placing a custom order.
When compared to other automakers, Ford offers more custom options to new car buyers. Some options are pretty straightforward, such as the case of exterior paint schemes, but others, such as extended-range batteries, may not be available across all models. Each Ford model has a few optional packages that can be custom-ordered.
The Mach-E California Route 1, for example, offers three optional packages: Night Pony, Premium Black Accents, and Interior Protection. Some Ford models in Modesto, CA, come with one optional package; car buyers are always free to request additional packages, but installation may be required.
