One of the most important questions a potential car owner needs to consider is whether or not they want to have a car with All Wheel Drive (AWD) or 4 Wheel Drive (4WD). It is a common misconception that they are the same, but—while they share many similar characteristics—there are a few important differences between them.

For example, 4WD usually involves the four wheels having torque supplied to them at all times with exceptions for part-time involvement and other 2 Wheel Drive options in select terrain. There are also options for the front and rear axles to be…

To make the best decision possible on which new car to buy, you must make sure that you are buying one that you can afford. Knowing what is in your affordable range requires you to make a budget. Your budget will be what is left after you subtract your monthly expenses from your monthly salary. It is very important that you include all your monthly expenses or else you will end up owing more than you make.

Are you seeking a midsize sedan for your next vehicular purchase? Well, if so, we here at Tyler Ford would be downright delighted to introduce you to ours, the 2017 Fusion.

Why, though?

AutoGuide.com Managing Editor Jodi Lai is here to provide an explanation; join her in the clip below:

Talk about tricked-out: the Fusion's top-tier trim -- the V6 Sport -- is all that and then some!

Standard features on this model include a brawny, 325-horsepower turbo-V6 engine, all-wheel drive, a unique grille, 19-inch wheels, quad exhaust tips, a rear spoiler, adjustable suspension dampers, leather ...

If ever there were a compact crossover that could come through and leave us here at Tyler Ford flat-out floored, the 2017 Ford Escape would most certainly be it.

Wondering what it is that makes this utility hauler such a head-turner?

Then, scope the clip below. Here now to provide some context on the matter is Autotrader pundit Debra Shigley:

Served up standard on the SE and Titanium trims, the Escape's entry-level 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine is rated at a respectable 179 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. Available with your choice of either front- or all-wheel drive…

A midsize sedan must strike a rather precise balance of being capable, efficient, and to some degrees, fun to drive. That's a balance that the Ford Fusion hit on the head when it debuted in 2012. Now that it's midcycle refresh has occurred for the 2017 model year, the Fusion is now able to be more things to more people than ever.

Tougher and tougher jobs are being invented every day, and the Big Three Detroit pickup makers are in a constant battle to keep up. They also are always trying to one-up each other by posting the best power, towing, and payload numbers imaginable. That crown goes to the 2017 Ford Super Duty this year, with the release of the new generation's capability figures.

Stunningly stylish and prodigiously powerful, we here at Tyler Ford consider the 2016 Ford Mustang one of the very best sports cars in the biz.

And, as evidenced by a recent video, such a sentiment is one that resonates with Autotrader reviewer, Jabari Jones, too. Check the clip below to hear him pile on the praise for this iconic pony car:

A prime pick for the performance enthusiast, the Mustang's range-topping GT model delivers a no-nonsense driving experience.

Standard equipment on this trim includes a 435-horsepower V8 engine -- the burliest of all Mustang engines -- upgraded brakes ...

Something of an automotive chameleon, the 2016 Ford Flex is not one for convention. Part wagon and part SUV, this full-size crossover refuses to play by the rules of others.

And yet, it's seemingly that very notion of defiance that allured Autotrader commentator, Jabari Jones. Discover what he considers some of the Flex's choicest qualities by watching the video below:

An altogether brilliant base trim, the Flex SE is bound to astound.

Standard features on this model include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlamps, rear privacy glass, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping ...

As if struck by Cupid's arrow, we at Tyler Ford fell hard and fast for our all-new hot hatchback, the 2016 Ford Focus RS. It was just as we'd always imagined; it was love at first sight.

And, not surprisingly, we're not the only ones eager to get in on this automotive lovefest. You see, Auto Trader UK Senior Road Tester, Paul Bond, seems to be quite smitten by it, as well. Hear him praise this proud performance pony in the video below:
