Don Chamlers Ford, your Albuquerque Ford dealer, is already turning 14! Come and help us celebrate the 14th anniversary of Don Chamlers Ford with great savings on our top Ford models!

In celebration of our anniversary, we’re offering our loyal customers special savings on some of their favorite 2010 models.  We are also offering long-term 0% financing on many of our 2010 MY Fords on approved credit.

We are now offering Albuquerque Ford shoppers a great deal on the 2010 Super Duty.  Come in during our anniversary special to receive up to $12,500 off!

Ford’s Super Duty is one of the nation’s top-selling heavy-duty pickup trucks.  The 2010 model has been modified to include features to increase fuel economy but continues to be able to withstand harsh conditions and haul large amounts of weight.  It is available in different engine sizes, so the level of power a truck has depends on its owner’s needs.

Don Chalmers Ford, is excited to announce the opportunity for New Mexico Ford shoppers to pre-order the 2011 Ford Fiesta. Originally launched in Europe, the New Ford Fiesta has been redesigned inside and out for US consumers, and now boasts many new enhancements, like a new subcompact design and improved fuel efficiency. 

 Reserve your 2011 Ford Fiesta online now!  Then, bring your reservation # to Don Chalmers Ford to pre-order the vehicle. Those who do so before 4/2/2010 will receive a bonus of a free SYNC and premium sound system.

“The 2011 Ford Fiesta gives economy car shoppers reason to celebrate with its fun-to-drive personality, nicely trimmed cabin and tight build quality, along with some unexpected features including sporty driving dynamics, smooth and peppy engine, high fuel economy, welcoming cabin, and available high-end luxury features,” says Edmunds.com

Projected class-leading fuel economy, electric power-assisted steering, available PowerShift 6-Speed Automatic and an available Super Fuel Economy Package add to the Fiesta’s allure for New Mexico Ford shoppers.

Autoweek.com says, “The interior is a huge step forward. You’re tempted when looking at a small car like this to think there isn’t enough space for you and your stuff. The Fiesta proves you wrong. Not only is the interior a welcoming cockpit, with a contemporary design–from the instrument panel, to the thick, formed steering wheel, to comfortable seats for adults of all sizes–but the packaging is sufficient to carry it all.”

At only 154.4 inches long, the 2011 Fiesta is an all-around car. What the Fiesta brings to the game is a balance of styling, interior space, dynamic feedback and refinement.

Unlike much of its competition, the Ford Fiesta is available in both sedan and hatchback body styles. The hatchback provides greater cargo capacity, but some shoppers prefer the more formal look of a sedan, which is likely why Ford is offering both.

“Either way, the Fiesta offers sprightly handling, a comfortable ride and a surprisingly quiet cabin even at freeway speeds. It also offers features that are uncommon in this class, such as keyless ignition and Ford’s superb Sync system, which, among other things, allows one to control audio and cell phone functions via voice commands,” says Autoweek.

Those who are not content with the bland color palettes offered by many automakers will love the Ford Fiesta, which comes in fresh new colors like “Bright Magenta” and “Lime Squeeze”. 

“Have you driven a Ford lately?” New Mexico Ford shoppers can just say yes when they pre-order the Ford Fiesta from Don Chalmers Ford. Let the Ford Fiesta celebrations begin!

Nine new or upgraded engines and six new transmissions will be introduced this year at our Albuquerque Ford dealership, bringing state-of-the-art fuel-saving techonology to all New Mexico drivers.

In an effort to overhaul its entire global powertrain portfolio, Ford will unveil 60 new powertrains this year to improve fuel economy and reduce C02 emissions. The move, which will surely benefit New Mexico Ford drivers, makes Ford the top automaker to reduce C02 emissions.

The fuel-saving techonology includes twin independent variable cam timing, direct injection, and six-speed and dual cluth tranmissions to Ford’s smallest and most affordable cars.

“Ford is delivering on our commitment to lower emisssions, improve fuel economy and deliver the highest quality powertrains in the industry,” said Barb Samardzich, Ford vice president of Powertrain Engineering.

Albuquerque Ford Dealership Prepares For Powertrain Upgrades

“By the end of 2010, nearly all of Ford’s North American engines will have been upgraded or replaced since 2008,” said Samardzich. “[This is] one of the most ambitious powertrain upgrades ever undertaken by Ford.”

The new Ford Fiesta Ti-VCT 1.6-liter engine and PowerShift dual clutch transmission will deliver up to 40 miles per gallon. The Ti-VCT 305-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 in the Ford Mustang continues to keep the Mustang as the head of its class with top performance and up to 30 miles to the gallon.

The Mustang GT will hit the roads of Albuquerque, NM this year with a new 5.0-liter V-8 that produces 412 total horsepower and gives at least 25 miles per gallon.

Albuquerque drivers can also look for the all-new Ford-designed-and-built Super Duty diesel truck engine. The 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 turbocharged diesel will make its mark when it comes to fuel economy towing, hauling, horsepower, and torque.

Ford Claims 2010 As Their Year To Change The Driving Experience

In 2010, Ford will unveil an EcoBoost 3.5-liter V-6 for the F-150, which feels like a V-8 but delivers the same fuel economy as a V-6. By 2013, Ford plans to offer EcoBoost engines on 90 percent of its product lineup.

The all-new 2.0-liter Ti-VCT four-cylinder engine will launch at the end of 2010 with the 2012 Ford Focus.

“We are focused on sustainable techonology solutions that can be used not for hundreds or thousans of cars, but formillions of cars, becauset hat’s how Ford will truly make a difference,’ said Samardzich.
