SUVs have come a long way since they were introduced as practical off-road vehicles in the 20th century. The SUV body type and chassis platforms have evolved to support everything from commuting to towing, off-road performance, and daily driving. Current trends in automotive design emphasize utility and comfort; this is why you can now find SUV and crossover models in Tawas City with car-like handling, optimal fuel efficiency, hybrid powertrains, touring performance, special cargo systems, three rows of seats, and more.
The Ford Motor Company has been releasing new SUV models since the first generation of the Ford Bronco in 1966. At the time, the term "sport utility vehicle" was not used by automotive journalists, so the Bronco was marketed as an "all-terrain adventurer." Today, Ford offers more SUVs and crossovers than other vehicle models, and it has options to fit various driving lifestyles in East Tawas and Hale, MI.
With the above in mind, let's go over the new Ford SUV models you can get from Dean Arbour Ford of Tawas Inc. now:
New Ford Compact SUVs
The Ford Escape is one of the best-selling compact SUVs in North America; it is an urban crossover that handles like an agile sedan but offers more utility in terms of passenger and cargo space. You can get the new Escape in gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrain versions.
If you want a more exciting crossover, the new Ford Bronco Sport is built on the Escape chassis platform, which means you get excellent fuel economy, but the legendary Ford Bronco inspires it. With higher ground clearance, more space, and sporty performance, the Ford Bronco Sport allows you to plan weekend adventures beyond Oscoda and Whittemore, MI.
The new Ford Bronco went on hiatus for 24 years only to return as one of the most capable off-road machines on the market. Although the Bronco is built on a compact SUV chassis, it can tow up to 4,500 pounds with the Raptor model and a special trailering system.
New Ford Midsize SUVs
You have two great models in this Ford SUV category: The legendary Ford Explorer and the sleek Ford Edge. The latter is a sophisticated urban crossover with a long list of tech features and amenities, while the former is a capable three-row SUV with space for up to seven occupants.
The new Ford Edge is highly recommended if you prioritize style. The new Explorer has optional captain's chairs for the second row; this is ideal for families going on longer road trips.
New Ford Full-Size SUVs
The Ford Expedition has been a flagship model for more than 20 years, and it is one of the most luxurious full-size SUVs you can drive. Everything in the Expedition is designed with elegance and performance in mind. What you get from this model is a spacious and comfortable interior with available heated and ventilated seats; plus, the powerful engine options offer an impressive towing capacity.
New Ford Performance SUVs
The all-new Ford Mustang Mach-E is a four-door performance crossover with more horsepower and torque than its gasoline cousins. If you like the idea of a muscle car that also offers touring and rallycross performance, the electric Mach-E is for you.
Ford SUVs can deliver more than just utility; you can also order them from Dean Arbour Ford of Tawas Inc. in the Sport Touring line for maximum SUV performance currently available for the Edge and Explorer models. Then you have the new Ford Bronco Raptor, a rock-crawling machine that competes on the grueling Baja 500 and Baja 1000 off-road courses.
