The FordPass Rewards Program is a membership program for loyal Ford customers that allows them to accumulate points to save money on vehicle maintenance and new Ford vehicle purchases in the future. If you’ve been a Ford driver for years, this reward program is a terrific way to reduce some vehicle ownership costs.
Getting Started
To access any FordPass Reward benefits, you must first activate a FordPass Reward Account. You can enroll in this program by downloading the FordPass App to sign up and activate your Rewards account. You should aim to activate your FordPass Rewards account within two months of any qualifying FordPass Rewards activity, such as purchasing a new Ford vehicle.
You can apply your FordPass Rewards points when you schedule a Ford service appointment, buy new Ford parts and accessories, or buy a new Ford vehicle. All you need to do is inform your dealership that you want to redeem your points. You can check the status of your rewards at any time by using the app or asking your dealership.
Can Your Points Ever Expire?
If you opt to convert your FordPass Rewards into a Visa card, then your reward points will expire after two years if you do not continue to earn or redeem rewards. The FordPass Rewards Visa is a convenient way to get rewards back for Ford services and purchases, and points may even be earned for buying gas, road tolls, auto insurance, and more.
What Are FordPass Rewards Tiers?
The higher your tier status, the more rewards you can access. The first level is the Bronze tier, which members can qualify for after completing one FordPass Rewards activity. The Silver tier is for members who complete two to four activities and comes with the benefit of a 5% bonus on points earned for Ford service. The Blue tier is for members who have completed more than five activities.
The most basic way to advance your tier status is to buy or lease a new Ford vehicle. You can also gain FordPass Rewards by buying genuine Ford parts and accessories, purchasing a Ford Protect Extended Service Plan, or subscribing to certain Ford Connected Service plans. Completing a service appointment at your Ford dealer or buying a Ford Blue Advantage vehicle can also help you earn points to increase your tier status and unlock more rewards.
Earning FordPass Rewards points can offset the cost of some of your routine maintenance services, advanced connectivity subscriptions, and genuine Ford accessories to customize your vehicle for your lifestyle.

5 Essential Services Offered by Your Ford Dealership
Your local Ford dealership employs many talented technicians who have all the skills necessary to provide a wide array of services for your Ford. With highly trained technicians handling all of your Ford maintenance on a regular schedule, your car should stay performing in great condition for many years to come.
1. General Ford Maintenance and Tuneups
Sometimes vehicles don’t need maintenance on a specific part. Instead, they need some general maintenance where we’ll replace worn-out components. This maintenance is generally preventative, as replacing worn parts before they fail reduces the risk of breakdowns. Parts we may replace during a tuneup include ignition coils, spark plugs, old hoses, and worn belts.
2. Multi-Point Inspections
A professional should inspect your car periodically to check on how the engine and other components in the vehicle are functioning. This is what’s known as a multi-point inspection. During this inspection, we’ll check your fluid levels, see if any filters need to be changed, inspect your vehicle’s safety equipment, examine your suspension system, and much more.
3. Oil Changes
Most cars need oil changes once or twice a year, but this can vary. Your Ford model’s owner’s manual should have a recommendation in it for how frequently you need to change your oil. These days, vehicles tend to need oil changes after driving around 5,000 miles. An oil change is almost definitely needed ASAP once you hit the 7,500-mile mark.
However, how often you need an oil change can vary based on several factors, so be sure to inspect your oil regularly to make sure it’s not dark or contaminated. Pay attention to alerts from your vehicle’s Oil Life Monitor, too, and talk to your technician if you have any questions.
4. Tire Rotations and Wheel Alignments
Both tire rotations and wheel alignments are performed to improve handling and ride quality, while also maximizing the lifespan of your tires. Rotations are necessary because tires in different positions on the car wear down at different rates, so each tire needs to get a turn in each position around your vehicle. Alignments are necessary because the tires may begin to tilt in different directions over time, so your suspension system needs to be adjusted to fix this.
5. Battery Checks
Although the car’s battery tends to be pretty low maintenance, it still needs to be inspected by a professional regularly. We’ll perform a battery load test, a voltage test, and some other tests to make sure the battery is in good condition. If it’s not performing as it should and can’t be repaired, then we’ll replace it.

Ford’s most advanced petrol engines, Ford EcoBoost Engines, are designed to produce performance figures that outmatch others of their size. Their smart engineering allows these powerhouses to fit inside almost any vehicle and adapt to their demands.
Designed for Performance and Efficiency
EcoBoost engines produce more power while burning less petrol. They have a small displacement, typically between 1.0L and 3.5L, but can produce horsepower and torque to match much larger V-6 or V-8 engines. For instance, the 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 engine found in the F-150 Raptor produces 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, which goes toe to toe with some 6.2L V8 engines.
Its low displacement directly translates into a great fuel economy, allowing EcoBoost engines to achieve up to 30 mpg in compact SUVs such as the 2024 Ford Escape.
Combines Three Different Technologies
To achieve extraordinary power for its displacement, EcoBoost engines employ a turbocharger, twin-independent variable camshaft timing, and direct fuel injection.
Turbocharger
A built-in turbocharger increases the power output by increasing the amount of oxygen that enters the engine. It does this by redirecting gases from the exhaust to spin a turbine, which uses a compressor to force the extra air into the engine’s cylinders. More air in the combustion chamber also helps reduce fuel consumption by facilitating better fuel-air mixing.
Variable Valve Timing
Ford’s Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) works by adjusting the timing of when the intake/exhaust valves open and shut. Ti-VCT does this by using the engine’s computer (ECU) based on demand to focus on either saving fuel or increasing power output. For instance, if you are driving slowly, the ECU saves fuel by timing the valves to open later.
Direct Fuel Injection
Unlike traditional engines, which mix fuel and air before entering the engine, direct injection sprays fuel directly into the combustion chamber. The engine’s computer (ECU) controls exactly how much fuel is injected into each cylinder precisely where it will be ignited. When you need better performance, the engine increases the fuel intake.
Popular Ford Vehicles with EcoBoost Engines
Numerous Ford vehicles in the 2024 lineup use EcoBoost engines. Each offers extreme fuel efficiency and produces satisfying power.
2024 Mustang Fastback
The 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine found in the 2024 Mustang Fastback produces 315 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Its fuel economy is estimated to be 26 mpg.
2024 Ford Ranger XL
The 2.3L Ecoboost four-cylinder under the Ford Ranger XL’s hood has an output of 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The truck can tow up to 7,500 lbs.
2024 Escape Active
A 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder engine powering the 2024 Escape Active produces 180 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy estimates for the compact SUV stand at 30 mpg combined.
EcoBoost technology is also featured in a variety of other cars and trucks available at our dealership. Contact us at Frontier Ford in Anacortes, WA to find a Ford that suits you. Our staff will assist you with any questions you may have.
