When you want a vehicle to help you out with everything from picking up groceries to traveling with the family to towing a trailer, you're going to need an SUV. These vehicles feature excellent engine power and plenty of cargo space, so they're a great fit for all sorts of applications.
So, which Ford SUV is the best choice for Leesville, New Llano, and Anacoco drivers? We set out to answer that question at Hixson Ford Leesville with our Ford SUV lineup reviews.
When you want an SUV that's prepared for just about everything, go for the Ford Explorer. With enough seating for up to seven passengers, road trips are easy. Plus, with an available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine, this vehicle can achieve up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
Plus, this vehicle comes with all sorts of technology as well. Drivers can upgrade their vehicle with an available Active Park Assist 2.0 feature, which will automatically steer your SUV into parking spaces.
When you really need to seat a party, the Ford Expedition can seat up to eight people. Best of all, this vehicle offers a max towing capacity of 9,300 pounds when properly equipped, ensuring you can bring a trailer or a boat no problem.
To make it easier for you to tow cargo, this vehicle even offers an available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™. Using a knob, you can direct your trailer in the direction you want it to go while backing up. Your SUV will then automatically steer itself to back your trailer up in that direction.
Fuel economy is key when you're on a road trip, and the Ford EcoSport excels in efficiency. This vehicle comes standard with a 1.0L EcoBoost® engine that generates 123 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. With such a compact engine, you can expect to earn up to an EPA-estimated 27 city MPG and 29 highway MPG from this powertrain.
When you want to get away for a while, the Ford Escape has your back with a roomy cabin and foldable back seats. Behind the second row of this SUV, you'll have a cargo volume of 37.5 cubic feet. Once you have the back seats down though, the cargo volume goes up to 65.4 cubic feet behind the first row.
If you want a high-performance SUV, the Ford Edge delivers with an available 2.7L EcoBoost™ Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine. This robust powertrain gives drivers up to 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, so you can be sure you get an exhilarating drive.
When you need a roomy SUV to help you out with daily errands, the Ford Flex is a great choice. With enough room to seat up to seven passengers, you'll love the freedom third-row seating can bring.
