The Ford American Hybrid Tour heads to New York City with the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
What do two busy moms and one 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid have in common? A three-day, Ford American Hybrid Tour adventure!
Katja Presnal, from SkimbacoLifestyle.com, and Kim Orlando, founder of TravelingMom.com are among the first to drive Ford’s brand new, fully-equipped 41mpg 2010 Fusion Hybrid. Their trip will take them from Ford’s Dearborn, MI headquarters back to their homes in New York City.
Katja and Kim will share their experiences along the way, blogging, tweeting and capturing every moment of the trip. They’ll also make a stop at Ford’s newly reopened Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1 which is building the EcoBoost engine and host a Tweetup while in Cleveland.
Katja is a mom on the move, whose three children were all born in different countries. As a former online retailer turned PR and social media consultant, Katja inspires modern moms to live life to the fullest at her blog SkimbacoLifestyle.com.
Kim, a veteran travel expert and trailblazer for moms, has created TravelingMom.com, the nation's top website and blog network dedicated to improving, enlivening and empowering the travel experience of moms around the world. Both ladies are looking forward to experiencing the trip in the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid together, as colleagues and friends.

Quotes:
“I have wanted to test drive a hybrid car for ages and I am really making up for lost time with this drive in the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid! I’ll really be putting it to the test too – all the new features, how little gas we use - all while spending time with a good friend. Road-tripping will never be the same for me!”
- Kim Orlando, Founder, TravelingMom.com
“It’s exciting to be one of the first people to drive the new Ford Fusion hybrid. The Ford Fusion Hybrid appeals to both the techie and green sides of me. To be able to do it in real-life by taking an actual road trip, that’s just icing on the cake.”
- Katja Presnal, Founder, SkimbacoLifestyle.com
The Ford American Hybrid tour is about getting real people to enjoy experiences in Ford vehicles. I’m excited to see what Katja and Kim have in store for us!
