Sound quality is also a priority. Ford often incorporates premium audio packages developed in partnership with renowned audio brands, resulting in a powerful and clear sound experience. Features like equalizers and subwoofer controls allow users to customize the audio output to their liking, ensuring that everyone can enjoy their favorite tunes in the best possible quality.
