Portland Car Dealer: Gladstone Suzuki Featured Vehicle – 2003 Ford F-350!

Searching for a heavy-duty pickup to power through the winter? Now is a great time to take a test drive at Gladstone Suzuki! This 2003 Ford F-350 is not only powerful, but it is also loaded with convenient features and offers versatility for the whole family.

Under the hood is a 6.8-liter V10 engine, providing plenty of power to conquer virtually any terrain. The exterior is fully equipped with custom wheels, a bed liner, fog lights, and much more. The body style includes a crew cab so you can comfortably use the truck as a family vehicle as well – overcoming the main downfall of pickups.

You might assume that because this truck is ultra-powerful and versatile that they skipped out on interior features. Not the case. Notable features include leather seats, overdrive, cruise control, rear slider window, and plenty of leg room for back seat passengers to remain comfortable, too.

Best of all, this truck comes in at a very affordable $16,900 – a tremendous value and great investment. If you’d like to take a pressure-free test drive, we would love to show it to you. Give us a call at 877-630-8711 to set an appointment today!

Portland Car Dealer: Winter Driving Tips from Gladstone Suzuki

While Oregon winters are usually mild, we aren’t strangers to snow, ice, hail, and other cold-weather hazards. Winter driving requires special attention to your vehicle, and winter weather can place any vehicle – or any driver – in an unsafe condition. Here are five tips to see you safely through the winter driving season:

Consider Purchasing Snow Tires While “all-weather” tires can suffice, purchasing high-quality winter tires might be the best thing you can do for your vehicle if you plan on being in the snow often (and you do, don’t you?). New tread patterns that are efficient on both dry pavement and snow have replaced loud, deep-treaded snow tires of the past and are definitely worth considering.

Always keep plenty of gas in the tank. You never know when you will be stuck somewhere in traffic, or stuck on the mountain in the snow. Your gas mileage may drop during winter, because there is more stop-and-go driving, because the roads are slicker, and because your vehicle may operate at a lower temperature. Unless your engine is running rough or the check engine light is on, a small decline in miles per gallon is normal. To keep your miles per gallon at their best, and to drive safely, watch your tire pressure. Most manufacturers do not recommend that you change the inflation during the winter. When in doubt, consult your owners’ manual.

Check Your Tire Pressure Monthly This is crucial throughout the winter months. Cold weather can mean significant drops in your tire pressure and a threat to not only your fuel economy, but also your safety. Establish one day each month to ensure you are keeping up with the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle – doing so can prevent major problems down the road.

Learn how to use your 4-wheel drive or anti-lock brakes ahead of time. Consider practicing in an empty parking lot. This is particularly important when you buy an unfamiliar vehicle. Anti-lock brakes cause a unique shudder and noise from the brake pedal. This is normal. They usually don’t even activate unless you stomp down on the brake pedal hard and fast. Try it. That way it won’t be so scary when you experience this in a panic situation. 4-wheel drive now has several configurations depending on the make and model of the vehicle. If yours is one that you have to activate, learn how yours works before you need it. For most vehicles, it should not be used on dry pavement, which can bind up the drive train.

Don’t pour hot water on a frozen car. It can cause your windshield to crack. Plan a few extra minutes to allow the interior of your car to warm up and defrost the windshield, or place an old rubber mat over your windshield before you go to bed at night.

Portland Car Dealer: Suzuki to Air Kizashi Ad During Super Bowl XLVI

Last year, Suzuki aired (in select markets), a memorable, dialogue-free ad featuring a good-looking man, the all-wheel drive Suzuki Kizashi, and evil snowmen. Evil, red-eyed snowmen who believed—wrongly, of course—that throwing snowballs at the expertly-balanced sedan would somehow throw its driver off-course and…well, we never find out because of course the Kizashi is the victor.

YouTube Preview Image

After spending a reported $200,000 to air the “Wicked Winter Weather” ad in 2011, Suzuki has revealed that a 2012 Kizashi ad spot will be aired during Super Bowl XLVI. Like last year’s ad, this year’s will air in select markets. Any other details, however, are being held close to the vest. In a photo released to AutoBlog.com, we see a parka-clad person standing outside an igloo, waving goodbye to another parka-clad person being pulled by a sled dog team. The mountains surrounding the pair are impressive.

We’ll see how impressive the ad is on February 5. In the meantime, if you’re looking for your own Suzuki Kizashi or other quality new or pre-owned vehicle, browse our new inventorypre-owned inventory, and internet specials 24/7 at gladstonesuzuki.com.
