The Ford SUV: A New Kind of Vehicle

When it comes to non – Ford SUVs, I think we’re all pretty familiar with the typical style and performance stereotypes – SUVs are usually large and kind of clunky, and the performance is ok, but not great, and especially not the fuel economy.

Ford is changing all of that.

Ford has introduced a number of new SUVs to the market, and has shaken up and refreshed the SUV image. With a new style and aesthetic, performance capability, and high tech interior features, these are new vehicles that are going to leave your previous impressions of SUVs in the dust.

In 2018, Ford came out with a number of new models including the Ford Explorer, the Ford Expedition, Ford Escape, Ford EcoSport, and the Ford Edge. We’ll give you a breakdown of all of these models to show you how Ford has raised the standards for 21st century SUVs

2018 Ford Explorer

The 2018 Ford Explorer is a one-of-a-kind vehicle, with a classy, new exterior, and a luxurious new interior with high tech features.

The interior of the vehicle is equipped with an array of high tech features, designed to feel like a luxurious home away from home. The engineers at Ford have designed a match between Ford and Amazon Alexa, called the Ford+Alexa. This features utilizes the 8-inch Ford Sync display screen in your command center and gives you access to navigation, Amazon Prime Shopping, and even allows you to control your smart devices at home. Never before has a vehicle given a driver this much connectivity and control, and we are ecstatic about the capabilities. From shopping to setting timers at home, to accessing the grocery list you related to Alexa, this is a vehicle that’s flown past the 21st Century into the 22nd.

In regards to power and performance, the 2018 Ford Explorer is equipped with a 3.5L EcoBoost Engine, with 365 horsepower, and 350 lb-ft of torque. This SUV gets an impressive 24 mpg on the highway and comfortably seats up to eight adults. Say goodbye to the typical SUV models, Ford has built the new standard of SUVs.

2018 Ford Expedition

If your kids or friends have always complained about legroom in the back of your current SUV, then Ford knows your pain. They have engineered the 2018 Ford Expedition to be the largest SUV they have ever manufactured, with the best-in-class 2nd and 3rd-row legroom of any SUV currently on the market.

The 2018 Ford Expedition has 480 lb-ft of torque and can tow a massive 9,300 lbs, while also obtaining a best-in-class EPA estimated fuel economy rating with 24 mpg on the highway. This Ford SUV also utilizes a number of high tech safety features such as the Blind Spot Information System, hill start/hill ascent control, an integrated trailer brake controller, and a terrain management system to name just a few. The Expedition is aptly named, and if you’re looking for a large vehicle with lots of power to take on weekend adventures, then this could be a great new vehicle for you.
