Whether you are cruising behind the wheel of new car or a used car, it can be exhilarating to spruce up your ride with a few accessories. After all, most of us drive to mundane places – such as work, school or shopping – so why shouldn't we do what we can to make it easier, safer, and more fun?

Along with the basics, such as making sure to get the oil changed, keeping up your car tires, maintaining car batteries, auto repair and such, it can be helpful to accessorize your sport utility cars, hybrid cars, or Ford Expedition with nifty extras such as handy entry key pads or even bug shields. How about bed protection, running boards and step bars (wonderful for kids) for the larger vehicles? Consider car covers and all weather floor mats to help protect our pre owned car investments, too.

Let's not forget about the holidays when the whole family is piled in the Lincoln MKT or Ford Escape for that lengthy road trip to Grandma's. That is when the four most dreaded words in the English language reverberate: "Are we there yet?" Often these come from the back seat before you have even hit the freeway. Doesn't a rear seat entertainment system sound like a wonderful option right about now?

More importantly, Ford offers you a highway safety kit as an accessories option. We all know that safety is the most important issue when we are on the road with our families. This highway safety kit contains items to alert other drivers of your situation and help you in a pinch.

For those who want to inject some class into their lives, the gleaming chrome exhaust tips are a snazzy addition to any vehicle on the road. And how about electrochromic mirrors? Depending upon the model you select they offer a multitude of options but all have light sensors that automatically discern when headlight glare is there and needs to be deflected.

Other accessories options include diamond plating (sparkling designs) and moon roof deflectors that lessen the wind noise and air movement within the car interior. Perfect for those moonlit night drives through the country.

When you're transporting items from one place to another, the cargo bed extender can be a spectacular option to lengthen your bed's stretch, thus enabling you to extend your loading options. The telescoping trailer tow mirror option enables you to focus on what's going on behind you as well as in front; extremely important when you are towing any cargo.

Rest assured that whatever you might need (or want!) your Ford Cincinnati dealers can help you find fund and safety-conscious accessories!
