October has been a month of change, the vibe in the dealership is rocking and we slowly trying to turn the corner to greater landings.

With that been said we started off our month of October with some of our awesome call centre ladies singing the anthem for us out side the parts division in all 3 the official languages. We ended off heritage month with a start to the new month on such a positive note. This was absolutely beautiful.

With Boss’s day slap bang in the middle of the month but falling on a Saturday, we celebrated their special day on Friday, handing over small gifts of appreciation.

Then our Used Cars team decided to host a Breakfast run for all our Ford clients to Hartbeespoort to build up some spirit in the dealership. Everybody joined up at the dealership at 9 and left in a convoy at 10 to a nice Roadhouse venue. Good friendships were built up between everybody and this was the first of many more events like this to follow.

Finally as the month comes to a end, Halloween stares us in the face. We will be displaying some of our new and used vehicles at Loftus at the Halloween sponsored event on Saturday 30th. Live entertainment is taking place and a good crowd of people is expected, we are hoping to get some good prospects at this event.

And now we start looking forward to November, its time to be festive and jolly and we will be running into November with the new StormTrak lighting up the sky in RED for Christmas is around the corner.

“It’s the season to be jolly”

There are only 100 units of the Limited-edition All-New Ford Mustang California Special fastback 5.0 GT 10AT available in South Africa. The units have already been allocated to the selected dealers, including CMH KEMPSTER FORD DURBAN.

The Limited-edition All-New Ford Mustang California Special fastback 5.0 GT features a significant number of innovative technologies, providing drivers with intensified information, control, and connectivity. With polished looks and smarter design, the Mustang has never looked or felt better. It is more sophisticated and spirited than ever.

The California Special will be available at Kempster Ford Durban with GT Performance Package featuring a more aggressive suspension, Brembo Brake callipers, heavy-duty front springs, a broader tubular rear sway bar, and overall lower ride height, distinctive chassis reinforcements, Torsen limited-slip differential and wider rear wheels. For a more thrilling performance, the stability control and electric power steering systems benefit from unique tuning as well to complete its encounter.

The exterior reflects the original with a honeycomb front grille finished in Black and featuring a GT/CS badge in Race Red, as well as lower side stripes finished in black, red, and grey. With stripes that run from the front to the rear wings and feature a hidden “California Special” script that is almost invisible in low light conditions but becomes much more visible in stronger sunlight, embodying the GT/CS logos.

Inspired by the 1967 Shelby GT notchback, the new California Special is available exclusively in the Fastback coupé body style paired with the muscular 5.0L V8 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. Bringing the west coast American style across to the local shores of South Africa is available at Kempster Ford Durban.

The Mustang has 9 exterior colours available, including signature Atlas Blue and Cyber Orange Tri-Coat, providing an eye-catching contrast with the distinctive black and grey detailing.

Standard heated and cooled front seats help occupants stay comfortable regardless of the weather. The leather seats and door inserts are finished in grey Miko® suede – an ecological, synthetic material made from recycled polyester – with red stitching. Seats and floor mats are embossed with the GT/CS logo, and the instrument panel is finished in Carbon Hex aluminium with a unique Mustang California Special badge.

Under the hood, the 5.0-litre V-8 engine delivers a total of 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The top speed is 155 mph.

Doreen Mashinini, General Manager for Marketing at Ford South Africa says that the Mustang California Special is a huge part of the Mustang legacy in America and it symbolises so much of what Mustang stands for – the joy of driving and the freedom of the open road. Those ideals resonate just as strongly with driving enthusiasts and Mustang fans in South Africa”. He says, “We are delighted to give our customers the opportunity to experience the unique California Special blend of style, performance and driving fun.”

Ford has reimagined, redesigned, and reengineered the Ranger to be the smartest, most versatile, and most capable Ranger yet for customers in more than 180 markets around the world. Ford conducted more than 5,000 interviews and worked with hundreds of pickup owners, in dozens of workshops across the globe to find out how owners used their trucks, what they liked, what they wished they had and what experiences mattered the most to them. This customer-centric approach helped Ford design and engineer solutions for the next-generation Ranger that customers wanted and would appreciate. The next-gen Ford Ranger is being put through its paces across some of the toughest terrains around the world, not only to ensure its capable and customer ready, but that it also meets Ford’s stringent world-class quality, reliability, and durability standards. With a rugged new Built Ford Tough look, and a host of new features that boost productivity, capability and versatility, the next-generation Ranger is designed to go more places, work harder, and offer more comfort and refinement than ever before. Ranger customers expect their vehicles to go above and beyond, so this rigorous testing mimics a variety of real-world scenarios customers might put their pickup through. And it takes place at Ford facilities across the world to ensure the next-gen Ford Ranger meets the needs of customers in more than 180 markets. Discover the next-gen Ranger on November 24, streaming live at https://www.youtube.com/c/FordSouthAfrica. Until then, click on the link below to enjoy a sneak peek of the design process with the next-generation Ranger’s Chief Designer Max Tran, who reveals how thousands of owner insights from around the world helped influence the truck’s design and many of its key features.

The CMH Group hosted an incredible Winter Warmth Drive to help all those in need. Warm clothing and blankets were donated by the dealerships, staff members, clients and people in the community and distributed among the most deserving areas from KwaZulu-Natal to Gauteng.

The team at CMH Ford Gezina would like to thank each one that made the CMH Winter Warmth Drive possible and for every contribution. We donated the warm blankets and clothing to Rock of Hope in celebration of Youth Month in June and spent some time with the little ones.

The Rock Place of Safety was registered as an NPC when four places of safety got together to make a combined difference in the lives of babies and toddlers in crisis.

Mientjie and Wouter Prozesky answered God’s call to look after abandoned, abused, and traumatised babies, ranging in ages from newborn to two years old. They started Rock of Hope in April 2011, after receiving the prophetic word that said, “I see you in a minivan full of children, it is not your own children and I the Holy One will provide for you”. Their goal is to ensure a place of safety where they can be flooded with the love and attention any child deserves.

If you wish to get involved and help, make a difference in the lives of these precious little ones, contact Wouter at 079 423 4799 / wouter@therockpos.co.za

There is something special about giving and sharing love, especially when it's given to much-needed facilities such as children’s homes, shelters, and old-age homes.

The great news is that everyone can experience the heartfelt joy and blessing of generosity because everyone has something to give, even if it is just a bit of your time and attention.

Motorists are worried about the rapid rise in fuel, which means adjustments to monthly expenses. CMH Ford Steyn’s wishes to take you through some tips that could help you save fuel in your vehicle.

Choose a fuel-efficient engine

Ford offers various engine derivatives, each of them offering class-leading fuel consumption, e.g., the Ranger fitted with the 2.0-litre single turbo which has returned a fuel index of 6,8lt/100km, and at CMH Steyn’s Ford we have an excellent sales team who are willing to assist you with all queries regarding the engine size, your trade-in and everything relating to a sale.

Weight is your enemy

Reducing the weight you carry on and in your bakkie will certainly improve its fuel consumption. Fifty kilograms less weight can improve fuel consumption by as much as 2%. If you are not using your roof rack, remove and store it.

Drive sensibly

Aggressive acceleration and braking can be fuel inefficient. Be gentle on the throttle and brakes and engage cruise control over longer distances.

Speed matters

It’s simple: the faster you go, the more fuel you’ll use. Up to around 80km/h, the energy required to overcome wind resistance on a vehicle is minimal. But push beyond that and the drag increases exponentially. Here is a valuable tip: If your vehicle has a real-time fuel economy reading, you can use it to get an idea of how much fuel you are using at different speeds, which will help you find your vehicle’s sweet spot. This could equate to being in top gear at the lowest possible revs.

Talking tyres

Check your tyre pressure regularly and stick to the OEM’s directions. Overinflation will reduce grip and result in more wear. Underinflation will increase rolling resistance, increasing fuel consumption. Aggressive tread patterns may well improve grip off-road, but they will also result in higher fuel consumption. A defective wheel alignment will also increase fuel consumption, so check it every 10 000 kilometres.

Time to tow

Higher speeds will increase wind resistance on both the tow vehicle as well as the towed load. Driving 10-15km/h slower than other traffic will save fuel without necessarily frustrating them.

Service is serious

Nothing beats optimum performance like regular servicing. “Fixing a faulty oxygen sensor can improve fuel efficiency by as much as 40%,” said Ford. “Similarly, using the wrong engine oil can affect fuel consumption by up to 2%.” At CMH Ford Steyn’s we have top qualified technicians, and our service advisors are well skilled and friendly. Book in your vehicle with us.

Combine your trips

Make a list - plan your trips and/or combine them.

Weather tips

Hotter weather will probably dictate that you turn on your air conditioner, which will demand more power and thus more fuel. Using the air conditioner on short trips and in town can increase your fuel consumption by as much as 25%. “Remember, however, that driving with the windows down increases drag, which means your engine has to work harder. The effect is minimal at low speeds, but increases as speed climbs, so use the air con at highway speeds.

Cold weather tips

Starting a cold car and allowing it to idle with the heater switched on will burn unnecessary fuel. Starting and driving will improve the heater’s performance and reduce fuel usage. These tips will come in handy as we all attempt to save as much as we can. Savings go a long way, and these tips are sure to help.

Ford Umhlanga patiently awaits the arrival of the Next-Generation Ford Everest, which is Bold on the outside, a Sanctuary on the Inside and Engineered for Adventure with exceptional comfort and customer-focused technology in a rugged, refined and fun to drive SUV.

To highlight this, three grades of the next-gen Everest were presented at reveal: Sport, Titanium+ and a new flagship grade, Platinum. A range of different variants and models will be available, depending on market, to meet the needs of our customers.

Rugged outside, a sanctuary within

Everest’s wider track and longer wheelbase enabled designers to create a more progressive, muscular appearance. Ford’s global design DNA is reflected in the C-clamp headlamps and strong horizontal upper grille bar. The front end also has a mix of horizontal and vertical elements, which add to the stable appearance.

On the sides, there is a strong shoulder line front to back, while the wider track results in a more dramatic swell over the wheels, enhancing the strong and modern look.

One of the first things you will notice when you get into a new Everest is how quiet it is. We have all been in vehicles with multiple rows of seats, where you must twist your head around and almost shout to be heard by passengers in the second or third rows. That is an issue we wanted to solve for Everest, so the interior would be a quiet place in which you can easily talk to your family or friends and enjoy the journey together.

Customer-focused technology

In addition to a more refined and comfortable interior, Ford focused on incorporating the latest connectivity and technology features into the next-gen Everest. Depending on trim level, Everest comes with 8- or 12.4-inch digital instrument panels that replace the traditional analogue clusters. Everest also features large, high-resolution portrait 10.1- or 12-inch touchscreens.

Next-gen Everest is loaded with Ford’s latest SYNC® 4Aiii system, which comes customer-ready with its voice-activated communications, entertainment, and information systems. Also equipped with FordPass which enhances the ownership experience with features like remote start, vehicle status check, and remote lock and unlock functions via your mobile device.

The portrait-orientated screen also is linked to a 360-degree camera with split-view display to make parking a breeze in tight urban spaces or to assist when negotiating particularly tricky terrain while out exploring

New and proven engine line-up

While the new 3.0L turbodiesel V6 spearheads the line-up, next-gen Everest gives customers a choice of engines to suit their lifestyles, including Ford’s proven Single-Turbo and the Bi-Turbo 2.0 inline four-cylinder diesels and a 2.3L EcoBoost petrol engine. Depending on the model, either a six-speed automatic or Ford’s efficient 10-speed SelectShift automatic will be available.

Engineered for adventure

A 50mm increase in next-gen Everest’s track helps deliver a more controlled ride on-road, while tweaks to damper settings allowed the team to inject more fun and control into the Everest’s ride, both on- and off-road. Want to do some exploring? Next-gen Everest is ready to go, with a choice of two four-wheel drive systems, underbody protection and off-road selectable drive modes plus rear locking differential, two functional tow hooks upfront, and upfitter switches for accessories.

Next-gen Ford Everest has a water wading ability up to 800mm and a maximum braked trailer towing capability of up to 3,500kg (braked)vi, while space in the engine bay allows for a second battery to power aftermarket accessories. Everest’s impressive towing capability is supported by smart technologies that make towing easier.

The new integrated or stand-off roof rails are more than just a design detail; they are engineered for adventure. The Everest rooftop can now support static loads of up to 350kg and dynamic loads of up to 100kg. Confidence-inspiring driver assist technologies

A new far-side airbag positioned between the driver and front passenger provides additional protection in the event of a side impact. Depending on the variant and the market, the addition of the far-side airbag and dual knee airbags brings the number of airbags up to nine, including front driver and passenger, dual seat side thorax airbags and dual side curtain airbags which cover all three rows, depending on the variant and the market.

Next-gen Everest’s matrix LED head lamps, available on selected models by market, offer greater visibility thanks to a raft of clever features, including auto dynamic levelling and speed-dependent lighting that can adjust the intensity of the beam in front of the vehicle depending on the vehicle’s speed. The head lamps also offer both static and dynamic bending capability as well as glare-free high-beams, which help provide maximum visibility for the driver without dazzling other road users.

Added to Everest is Ford’s adaptive cruise control system, available in three versions depending on market and model.

1. Adaptive cruise control with stop and start allows drivers to maintain a pre-set speed and distance from the car ahead and will even bring the car to a complete stop if required.

1. Adaptive cruise control with stop and go and lane centering can detect lane markings and help keep the vehicle centred in the lane.

2. Intelligent adaptive cruise control also adds speed sign recognition that can automatically adjust vehicle speed to the posted speed limit.

Additionally, enhanced driver assists and safety features available in the Next-Gen Everest include:

1. New: Lane-keeping system with road-edge detection, which helps keep the Everest from drifting from the carriageway on rural roads.

1. Update: Evasive steer assist, designed to operate at city and motorway speeds, which uses radar and a camera to detect slower-moving and stationary vehicles ahead and provides steering support to enable drivers to manoeuvre around a vehicle if a collision is imminent.

2. Added: Reverse brake assist helps drivers to reverse into parking spots and other tight spaces by providing audible and visual warnings. It can detect a vehicle crossing or a cyclist or pedestrian behind the vehicle too. The system can even bring the Everest to a complete stop if the driver does not react in time.

3. New – Blind spot information system with trailer coverage monitors blind spots around the vehicle and trailer and alerts the driver of any perceived hazards. The system supports trailers up to 2.4 metres wide and 10 metres long.

4. Enhanced – Pre-collision assist with intersection functionality, which can automatically apply the brakes to avoid or mitigate the effects of accidents if the driver is turning across the path of oncoming traffic and the system determines an imminent collision

We've all been there when we can't remember if we locked our car doors or how much gas is left in the fuel tank. That's where FordPass Connect comes in. What Is FordPass Connect? Ford models equipped with this technology provide a range of features at your fingertips, such as remote start, vehicle checks, and more.

Ford Ranger customers in South Africa now have access to an enhanced ownership experience with the introduction of FordPass Connect. This is on all new XL, XLS, XLT, Wildtrak and Ranger Raptor models from February 2021 production – as well as the newly launched Ranger FX4.

FordPass builds on Ford’s legacy of democratising class-defining technologies, starting with the first-generation SYNC® infotainment system with voice control, through to the latest SYNC®3 with Navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on all XLT models upwards

FordPass: connectivity at your fingertips

When used together, the key features of the FordPass app and FordPass Connect include command and control functionality, key vehicle information, online resources and links to emergency roadside assistance.

Vehicle Status and Remote Vehicle Monitoring: Through the FordPass app’s Vehicle Status feature, owners can check their vehicle’s key variables including fuel level and oil status, and tyre pressures (where the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is fitted on the Wildtrak) and mileage through the convenience of their smartphone.

Remote Start and Stop (automatic models only): Using the FordPass app, drivers can start their vehicle’s engine from home, the office or elsewhere via smartphone, enabling the vehicle’s cabin to automatically start heating or cooling to the last used setting. This helps ensure a cool, comfortable interior on a hot summer day, or a de-iced, warmed, and inviting vehicle in winter. The vehicle is automatically locked when remote starting. It can only be driven once the driver inserts the ignition key or presses the ‘Start’ button with the proximity key in the vehicle. A scheduled start can also be programmed for a predetermined time via the FordPass app and can be configured to repeat on selected days throughout the week.

Remote Lock and Unlock: Drivers can lock and unlock their Ford remotely, meaning they don’t have to rush back to their cars to check if they have remembered to lock their doors. This also allows drivers to let passengers into their vehicles regardless of whether they are there or not.

Vehicle Locator: Courtesy of a map and location tracker in the FordPass app, drivers can find their way back to their vehicle in a busy parking area without the need to remember exactly where they parked it. This is even more convenient when you share your vehicle with one or more members of your household.

Vehicle Health Alerts: The FordPass app capability extends to Vehicle Health Alerts, which can be sent directly to a smart device pre-empting service needs, general maintenance such as a low washer fluid alert, and more. The alert is designed to identify specific issues and even recommend a course of action.

Map and Search: Through the FordPass app, customers have access to an extensive range of search options, including Ford dealers, fuel stations, available parking, entertainment, coffee shops and travel destinations such as hotels and lodges.

Maintenance Schedule: All key vehicle information is available in the FordPass app, including the vehicle identification number (VIN), new vehicle warranty (including the start date for the four-year/120 000km comprehensive warranty), Ford Protect Plan (with expiry date and end distance for the six-year/90 000km service plan). The owner can also check the upcoming service intervals, and schedule service at their preferred dealer with the app linking to the www.myfordjourney.co.za website to facilitate this process.

Roadside Assistance: Throughout the FordPass app, customers have instant access to Ford's 24-hour emergency Roadside Assistance, which is valid for a period of three years/unlimited distance and is provided by the Automobile Association (AA). Vehicle Support: The app provides extensive additional resources for customers, including how-to videos explaining features and technologies in the Ranger, a digital Owner’s Manual, and an Alerts Guide addressing a few issues such as water in fuel, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning, and numerous other warning messages.

FordPass Guide: When you need help, a friendly FordPass Guide is there to offer one-to-one assistance via phone or e-mail, directly from the app.

Over-the-air updates: FordPass Connect enables over-the-air (OTA) modem software updates seamlessly via the embedded modem to keep the vehicle current with the latest technology, performance, and safety by wirelessly delivering features and quality enhancements – without requiring a visit to a dealer or service centre.

Customers can access additional information on FordPass Connect at www.ford.co.za/fordpass

The next-gen Everest break down with CMH Ford Randburg.

Inside, premium levels of craftsmanship have created a quiet and refined sanctuary for up to seven occupants. At the same time, class-leading technology and safety make every journey more memorable.

Customer-focused technology

Next-gen Everest is loaded with Ford's latest SYNC® 4A system, which comes customer-ready with its voice-activated communications, entertainment, and information systems also featuring large, high-resolution portrait 10.1- or 12-inch touchscreens. Additionally, an embedded factory-fitted modem allows customers to connect to Everest when linked with the FordPass™ App.

The portrait-orientated screen is also linked to a 360-degree camera with a split-view display to make parking a breeze in tight urban spaces or assist when negotiating particularly tricky terrain while out exploring. In addition, customers can control Everest's new exterior zone lighting system via the touchscreen or the FordPass™ App, which means they don't have to park, work, camp or do anything in the dark.

Rugged outside, a sanctuary within

Designers put a lot of thought into the function and feel of the interior, taking inspiration from modern homes and bringing in plush materials, premium finishes, and ambient lighting, all in areas where customers can appreciate them the best.

The Everest's sense of spaciousness is amplified by the full-width coast-to-coast instrument panel and centre console with dual cupholder recesses, plus dash-mounted pop out' cupholders for front-seat occupants. High-series models are equipped with integrated wireless charging, a svelte new leather-trimmed e-Shifter and an electric parking brake.

The new and proven engine line-up

Everest customers told Ford that they wanted more power and torque for towing, heavy loads and off-roading. Hence, the team selected Ford's proven 3.0L turbodiesel V6 engine and refined it for the Everest. Depending on the market, it is one of three turbodiesel engine options available at launch.

The new 3.0L turbodiesel V6 spearheads the line-up. Next-gen Everest gives customers a choice of engines to suit their lifestyles, including Ford's proven Single-Turbo and the Bi-Turbo 2.0 inline four-cylinder diesel and a 2.3L EcoBoost petrol engine.

At CMH Kempster Ford Randburg, we care about you and your family. We pride ourselves on our Ford products and their ability to make your life on the road safe and enjoyable every time.

Do's and Don’ts when driving your vehicle:

Are you putting your car at unnecessary risk because of bad driving habits?

Without realizing it, you may be causing damage to your car by doing seemingly insignificant things.

CMH Ford Ballito have compiled a list of Eight dos and don’ts while driving your precious baby.

Vehicles are often among your most valuable possessions and are the ones on which you rely most heavily. Taking proper care of it will ensure it lasts as long as possible.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T drive your vehicle until your fuel is empty.

When you leave your fuel tank near empty, fuel draws from the bottom of the tank, which has dirt, impurities, and residuals. The fuel pump absorbing these when the fuel level is low will shorten the life of your fuel system.

DO: Before the warning light illuminates, fill up the tank with fuel

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T rev your Engine:

The abrupt temperature changes that occur when you rev your car when it's cold could damage components.

DO: Allow the oil to warm up and distribute throughout the engine for a few minutes after your car has started.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T just change gears from reverse to drive, as the sudden change in direction can cause damage to your vehicle.

DO: Let the vehicle come to a complete stop before switching gears.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T overload your boot as this causes damage to your vehicle’s transmission, tyres, steering and suspension and can also cause blowouts.

DO: Take into consideration what the weight limit is and recommended tyre pressure.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T Ride the clutch as this shortens the life of the clutch plate.

DO: Take your foot off the clutch after changing gears and leave the car in neutral with the handbrake on until you’re ready to move from a hill start.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T rest your foot on the brake pedal. It causes your brake to overheat and wear out.

DO: Switch to a lower gear and maintain a safe driving distance.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T ignore warning lights or if you hear something strange coming from your vehicle.

DO: Familiarise yourself with the most serious lights by reading your owner’s manual and having the problem attended to right away.

1. CMH Ford Ballito says DON’T ignore your tires because you could experience a flat or blowout. Your tires will wear unevenly and wear out faster, and you won’t get the fuel efficiency you deserve.

DO: Check your tires as often as you check your oil and rotate your tires at least twice a year.

CMH Ford Ballito offers an array of auto repair services you can trust. If you suspect that your vehicle has a problem, or if you need routine maintenance, don't hesitate to call us on 0877239278

This iconic car was first introduced to the world in 1965 and was named after a World War 2 fighter plane. In its first year, the Ford Mustang generated a whole new category of automobiles known as pony cars. Nowadays, an even sleeker, more powerful and advanced version of the Mustang is available with all the safety features you will need. CMH Ford Hatfield is proud to be the home of the all-powerful Mustang.

The all-new Ford Mustang is a rear-wheel drive two-door (4-seater) fastback and is available in 2 petrol engines, a 2.3 Eco Boost 4-cylinder turbocharged motor or a rumbling 5.0 V8 if you want to let your neighbours know that you're awake or you can also start on quiet mode to keep the neighbours happy. The all-new Ford Mustang GT 5.0 is ready for any occasion when you hit the road. You can choose from numerous performance settings for the track, sport and snow/wet. CMH Ford Hatfield will gladly help you with one of these two models in a hard top or convertible for those weekend summer drives if you want to feel that breeze through your hair. Dual exhaust pipes are also standard on the GT 5.0 V8 and the 2.3 Turbo Charged Eco Boost to let you know that this car means business!

The Mustang 5.0 GT boasts comfort, safety (features like Lane-keeping assist, Lane departure assist and many more) as well as great engine performance. For a V8 the Mustang has a great average fuel consumption of 13L/100km and an astonishing acceleration speed from 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds in the 6-speed manual and a whopping 4.3 seconds in the 10-speed automatic. The Mustang also comes with some standard features like Paddle Shifters on the Steering Wheel, Driver Mode Selection, Heated Exterior Mirrors, Keyless Entry and many more.

Do you own a Muscle Car? Would you like to own a Muscle Car? If yes then the all-new Louder, Prouder and Intelligent Ford Mustang is the way to go! You can be quite discreet on a Sunday morning, or you can start her up, smoke the tyres and let it ROARRRRRRRRRR as this Horse should!!!
