Families, no matter their size, need an everyday vehicle that is reliable, safe, and comfortable. Ford offers a wide range of family-friendly models that meet these criteria. Here at your local Ford dealership, we're proud to help you find the perfect vehicle to fit your family's needs. We have a large selection available, so let's explore a few family models in closer detail. more 1. 2025 Ford Expedition The Ford Expedition is Ford's most spacious SUV, purpose-built for large families who need both seating capacity and storage. This SUV can comfortably seat up to 8 passengers and still leave plenty of room for luggage, sports gears, or groceries. The sliding second-row seat allows for easy access to the third row, even with a child seat installed. Parents will also appreciate the available rear-seat entertainment system that keeps kids occupied on long drives. The Expedition offers a powerful twin-turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine, producing 400 hp or up to 440 hp with the High-Output variant. Torque in either setup is 480 lb-ft, which helps contribute to the Expedition's 9,600-pound maximum towing capacity with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package. 2. 2025 Ford Explorer The Ford Explorer is a three-row midsize SUV that offers families ample space, solid performance, and innovative technology. Seating up to 7 passengers, the Explorer has received an interior refresh for 2025, now sporting a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen powered by Google. The Explorer features optional hands-free driving with BlueCruise technology. This driver-assistance system adds convenience during already-tiring road trips, allowing you to arrive more refreshed. Under the hood, the Explorer offers a choice between a 300-hp 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine or a 400-hp V6 engine in the ST model. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options are also available, offering families significant savings at the pump. 3. 2025 Ford Escape For smaller families who need a more compact vehicle that doesn't skimp on versatility, the Escape is a top contender. It offers seating for five and boasts a flexible cargo area with a sliding second-row seat, which adds nearly six inches of legroom or expands trunk space as needed. Despite its compact size, the Escape includes modern tech, with the same infotainment set-up as the Explorer. Like the Explorer, multiple powertrain options are available, including a 1.5L or 2.0L EcoBoost engine, a hybrid powertrain, or a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The hybrid model can achieve well over 40 MPG in the city, making it an ideal daily commuter. Whether you're transporting toddlers, teens, or groceries, Ford's SUV lineup offers smart, safe, and spacious solutions for families of all sizes.

Ford has long been an expert on pickups, with diverse offerings that reflect the diverse needs of local and global truck drivers. Today, your Ford dealership will be comparing two esteemed pickups: the electric Ford F-150 Lightning and the mid-size Ford Ranger. more Performance The Lightning runs on two electric motors that combine to produce 452 horsepower in XLT models and 580 horsepower in Lariat and Platinum trims. All models can harness 775 lb-ft of instant torque, which contributes to the Lightning's 10,000-pound maximum towing capacity with the Max Trailer Towing Package. Maximum range in higher trims is 320 miles, so you can remain confident as you venture outside city limits. The Ranger has several engine options to choose from. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine produces 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, while the available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 kicks up 315 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. The Ranger Raptor trim has a slightly larger V6 engine that offers 405 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. While the Ranger's power doesn't quite match the Lightning, it's still capable of hauling 7,500 pounds, making it ideal for the job site or a day at the lake with the boat. Interior and Tech Both trucks have spacious cabs with seating for up to five. Both can be outfitted with an almost unlimited number of luxury appointments, including genuine leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a premium Bose audio system. In lower trims, the Lightning comes with a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen, while upper trims carry a 15.5-inch display. Wireless smartphone connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a native navigation system all come standard. In the Ranger, a 10-inch touchscreen comes standard across the board, though drivers can upgrade to a vertically-oriented 12-inch display if they wish. Wireless smartphone connectivity is standard, while all other features are optional. Exterior Both trucks are offered exclusively in a single cab and bed configuration. The Lightning has a SuperCrew cab configuration (4 full-size doors, seating for 5) with a 5-foot bed, while the Ranger has a SuperCrew cab with a 5.5-foot bed. While the Lightning offers less cargo space in its bed, it makes up for it with its 14.1-cu.ft. front trunk that holds up to 400 pounds. The Lightning's styling is sleek and modern, with a signature LED light bar that spans the closed-off grille. The Ranger styling's veers toward rugged and brawny, with more aggressive hood sculpting and a wide, upright grille. The full-size electric Lightning offers drivers futuristic styling and tech alongside efficient electric power, while the Ranger offers a traditional truck feel with excellent strength for the job site and a more navigable size for the city.
