Ford App update

The new Ford App—formerly known as FordPass®—has officially arrived, and it’s changing the way Albuquerque drivers connect with their vehicles.

This redesigned app is faster, cleaner, and built around what Ford owners use most: remote start, charge level, and vehicle health. Whether you drive an F-150, Escape, or Mustang Mach-E, the new Ford App gives you instant access to the tools that keep you moving.
