Sync comes in different ways, but the latest is in the form of Sync 3. The third-generation Sync technology combines what consumers love about the first-generation -- hands-free calling and voice-activation technology -- with a user-friendly interface, intuitive apps and even faster response time.

While Sync 3 was a highly anticipated infotainment system since its rumored debut, it's now getting its stamp of approval from dealerships, consumers and critics alike. "Ford wins me over again with Sync 3, a whole new system combining navigation, stereo, phone and a graphical app platform called AppLink," writes Wayne Cunningham, managing editor at CNET . "A radical change from MyFord Touch, this system is just what Ford needed, a fresh design from the ground up, giving car owners a clean interface and fast response."

If you want to experience the latest-generation Sync technology first-hand, come visit our Columbus, Kansas showroom for a test drive in a 2016 Ford model as most every model on the 2016 lineup equip the Sync 3 technology.
