From adventurous explorers to dedicated parents, Ford has an SUV model to fit every driver's demands. The knowledgeable staff at Jim Taylor Ford can assist you in selecting the most suitable Ford SUV for your journey, no matter what it entails. Whether you're the driver or a passenger, our Ford dealership has the perfect SUV for you to make memories that will last a lifetime. There will surely be an SUV in the Ford collection that will enhance both your everyday commute and long road trips.
The Ford Bronco’s base trim has a dynamic turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 275 horsepower on regular gas and 300 horsepower on premium fuel. With an output of 315 to 330 horsepower (depending on gasoline type), a twin-turbo V6 provides more power for faster acceleration and smoother highway merging. The Raptor trim offers the most potent Bronco performance with its 418 horsepower engine that requires premium fuel exclusively. The optional 10-speed automatic is swift and smooth, and the regular seven-speed manual is accurate and fun to use.
There are two engine options for the Ford Explorer: a turbo-4 with 300 horsepower and a twin-turbocharged V6 with 400 horsepower. With consistent power delivery across the rpm range, both engines are more than capable of meeting the demands of everyday driving. This heavy SUV can get off the line quickly thanks to the V6's genuinely powerful feeling. The 10-speed automatic transmission that comes standard with both engines makes shifting easy. You can also choose between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. No matter what engine you choose, the Explorer can tow up to 5,000 pounds when appropriately outfitted.
A 238-hp turbo-4 is standard on the Badlands grade level, while the majority of Bronco Sport models come with an 181-hp turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. Every single model comes with a basic four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The standard engine is more than enough for commuting and running errands. The turbo-4 provides a welcome burst of power for both on-road and off-road tasks. The transmission performs admirably under most circumstances.
A turbocharged 3-cylinder engine with 180 horsepower is standard on the Ford Escape. This engine is adequate for daily travel. Enhanced acceleration is provided by the 250-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder engine in higher trim levels. Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The Ford Expedition is a versatile and capable family vehicle with a well-built interior and potent and fuel-efficient engine options. A 3.5-liter V6 engine, 10-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive are standard on the Expedition. The engine's output varies from 375 to 440 horsepower and 470 to 510 lb-ft of torque, depending on the arrangement. All trim levels offer four-wheel drive as an option. Four-wheel drive is standard on the Timberline trim.
This engine provides respectable performance for its class while managing respectable gas mileage. Thanks to its all-wheel-drive system, seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, and twin-turbo V6 engine, the Edge ST provides superior performance. The ST cranks up the performance a notch or two with 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel.
