In an industry with fierce competition, Ford has long been a favorite. That is because Ford has consistently delivered what customers want the most; cars, trucks, and SUVs that offer the latest technology, outstanding performance, and safety features. In addition, Ford owners have always been pleased with the quality of their vehicles, and it shows in their commitment to the brand. As a Ford dealer, we are proud to represent a brand that boasts quality, value, and selection, three characteristics that continue in the 2022 Ford lineup. At Ruge's Ford, we want you to know that owning a Ford is a valuable experience, and it makes perfect sense. When shopping for a new vehicle, you are going to hear a lot about the competition and people's opinions about Ford. These differences in opinion might make you stop and think why you should choose a Ford over the competition. The answer is simple: Ford produces better products.    

Why Choose a Ford?

Drivers who already own a Ford tend to be quite loyal to the brand. Many who step into a dealership and test drive a Ford will become converts. If you haven't test-driven a Ford yet, there are plenty of reasons to do so. Over the years, Ford has sought ways to revolutionize the industry. When it comes to innovation, Ford has always been a leader. Ford focuses on the long-term in addition to the short-term, while other brands are only interested in ideas that can be quickly implemented. Ford remains concerned with how its products will perform in the long run.

If you are into getting value out of the vehicle you drive, you should choose a Ford. Year after year, Ford models are recognized for their affordability, probably because Ford makes it a priority to offer their customers high-quality choices at prices people can actually afford. And they are always looking for ways to improve the customer experience. So it's a safe bet that future Ford models will perform even better.

Lastly, when you slip behind the wheel of a Ford model, you will be impressed by the performance. You can count on Ford trucks with incredible towing capabilities and SUVs that perform very well in off-road conditions. Even with all of that engine power, Ford works diligently to continue to deliver good fuel economy. 

2022 Ford Explorer

Without a doubt, Ford boasts a vast lineup of popular models, but if you are a part of a tight-knit and happy family, the new Ford Explorer is best suited for your lifestyle. With plenty of cargo space and a third row of seats, the Explorer aims to satisfy all family members. You are sure to be impressed with the base turbocharged 2.3-liter engine that delivers 300 horsepower. But for those who desire more, a hybrid V6 is available at 400 horsepower. 

With eight trim levels, there is sure to be a perfect fit for you. But whichever trim level you choose, you will enjoy an inspired interior that is as functional as it is comfortable. The standard 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system boasts Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto capability in a system that is intuitive and responsive. You can also opt for the vertically oriented 10.1-inch screen. Still, all models are available with a rear-seat entertainment system and voice-activated navigation.

Safety is always a concern for those who travel with their families. It should not be a big surprise that Ford loads the Explorer with a host of safety and convenience features. You will find that forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning are all standard. In addition, there are several safety and convenience features that are available, including self-parking assistance. You will enjoy peace of mind while driving the family to your favorite destinations.

2022 Ford Maverick

As the Ford Maverick hits the streets of America, it is easy to see why this little truck has caused such an uproar. There are solid reasons why this truck should be on the shortlist of wants. Let's start with the price; not many people expect to pay around $20,000 starting for a truck. Even the high trim levels of this compact option are quite affordable. It's nice to know that you can still get a quality truck at a price that will keep your bank account intact.

Even after you purchase this little truck, it continues to save you money. The Maverick gets unreal fuel economy, which is impressive for a car and unheard of in a truck. Better still, the efficient powertrain still delivers a zippy truck that is a blast to drive. The Maverick might be small, but there is no shortage of space for the stuff you need. This truck is full of clever interior storage in the form of cubbies, caches, and compartments. 

2022 Ford F-150

It should be no surprise that we would include the F-150 in the Ford lineup. The F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the states for over 40 years, and for good reasons. The F-150 is an amazing workhorse that boasts impressive capabilities no matter what type of job is in store for it. Let's start with the fact you have several powertrain choices and not a dud among them. Even the base engine is a powerful V6. But for those who desire more power, and we get it, there are more powerful V6 options and a V8 option. 

It's of little surprise the new Ford F-150 offers best-in-class towing when you choose the right trim and set-up. There are few limitations on what this truck can tow. In addition, payload capacity is impressive as well, and with the F-150, you can expect excellent off-road capabilities. The high ground clearance and solid suspension enable you to navigate through some pretty rough terrain. With the Ford F-150, you can also expect excellent handling, which is surprising for a truck. 

In all likelihood, you have seen several F-150s on the road; they are handsome trucks that are hard to miss. The rugged F-150 is well-designed and quite attractive. Although the look is modern, the F-150 retains many of the iconic features that separate it from the competition and make it instantaneously recognizable. The interior of the F-150 is just as attractive as the exterior. The seats are comfortable, the dash is sleek and modern, and there are plenty of tech features for you to enjoy. You would be hard-pressed to find anything negative to say about the F-150, perhaps because it is a truck without a flaw.
