The 2021 Ford F-250 is one of the most capable trucks on the market. This Super Duty performs well, and it's full of features that will make your life easier. This year's model saw a few minor upgrades, and the rest of its impressive features are as bold and useful as ever. We're going to take a look at a few of those now. 4 Impressive Features of the 2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty 1. Excellent Towing Abilities The F-250 is able to tow an applaudable 22,800 if you equip it with a fifth-wheel setup. It's best if you select the powerful V8 engine option, too. This towing capacity lets you haul almost anything, including large boats and hefty campers. There's no shortage of power in this truck, and it measures up well to competitor models. It beats many competitors by several thousand pounds, too. 2. The Tremor Package The Tremor Package is the F-250's off-roading package, and it's excellent at what it does. It provides the truck with off-roading running boards, a lift kit, and high-quality all-terrain tires. These give you more power and convenience on the trails. The rest of your off-roading abilities come from the truck's standard feature. Its suspension is highly suited to both off-roading and regular driving. The truck's capable, sturdy exterior is also fantastic at handling scrabbling branches and flying debris on the trail. This is great if you work in an area with rough terrain, and it's also wonderful if you like to go off-roading for pleasure. 3. It Manages Well The F-250 manages far better than its competitors. It's easy to maneuver despite its large size, and it has a surprising ability to fit into small spaces. However, the best part of its managing is how well it handles at low speeds. Competitors in its class handle significantly terribly while traveling at low speeds, but the F-250 has the same easy handling as it does when driving quickly. 4. Lots of Interior Storage Pickups have huge truckbeds, so they don't have great storage in the cabin most of the time. The Ford F-250, on the other hand, has tons of convenient spots for you to store your personal gear. There are lots of trays and cubbies, and the center console is one of the largest we've ever seen. It's perfect for anyone who spends lots of time in their truck and has various daily essentials. The best part of the cabin's storage is slotted under the rear seat. There's a small locking box that's perfect for storing your valuables. Even if someone breaks into your truck, it's highly unlikely that they'll realize the locking box is hidden away under the seat. Your most valuable items will always be safe. If you like the sound of this truck, then visit us at Crain Ford Jacksonville. Take the truck out for a test drive, and see if you can get a feel for whether or not it's your perfect match. We guarantee that we'll provide incredible service throughout your visit.

Off-roading offers plenty of fun and a lot of adventure. If you've been thinking about getting into off-roading but you're not sure where to start, this helpful guide will discuss some of the most important features your Ford will need to help it handle all types of off-road trails. 1. Skid Plates Skid plates are one of the most crucial features your Ford will need to tackle off-road trails. After all, most of the dangers your off-road vehicle will face won't come from the front, back, or sides — they'll come from underneath. If you drive over a rock or log that's more sharp and pointy than you expected, you could end up damaging your oil pan, transmission, or exhaust. Skid plates attach over these important components and add extra protection where you need it most. 2. All-Terrain Tires Large tires look impressive and can more easily roll over large obstacles. However, they also make your engine work harder, and you might have to lift your suspension to accommodate them. Instead, go with all-terrain tires that can handle off-road conditions. All-terrain tires have the advantage of offering better traction and puncture-resistance, which are essential for off-roading. Plus, while they'll still have a small impact on your vehicle's ride quality and fuel economy, they're not nearly as bad as large tires. 3. A Tire Deflator Once you pick out the right type of all-terrain tires, you also want to look for a tire deflator. When you're driving on regular roads, you'll want to keep your tires at the pressure listed on the sticker inside your driver's door. When you're ready to hit the off-road trail, you should decrease your tire pressure to help maximize traction. A tire deflator can make this task much faster. Plus, don't forget to bring along an air compressor so you can quickly and easily re-inflate your tires when you're back on pavement. 4. Hill Descent Control If you're shopping for a new Ford for your off-road adventures, check out what type of safety features are offered. Hill descent control is a fantastic safety feature that will come in handy when you're going down hills. This system can monitor the terrain you're driving over. When it notices you're heading down a steep hill, it can decide how much power goes to each wheel. This helps you maintain the speed you need so you can focus on safely maneuvering down the hill. 5. Tow Hooks Getting stuck is a fact of life when you're off-roading. That's why you definitely want to have tow hooks on your vehicle. In addition to tow hooks, make sure you also have snatch straps and shackles in your vehicle. Having these tools handy will make it easier for you to pull another vehicle out of an obstacle or get yourself towed out of a tight jam. If you're ready to get into the fun of off-roading, you can make sure your Ford is ready for the adventure when you outfit it with these important features.

Driving to and from your job can be a real pain, especially if you're stuck with a vehicle that just doesn't cut it. Fortunately, there are quite a few Fords on the market that can offer you the comfort, fuel-efficiency, and/or cargo space that you need. Ford Fusion Hybrid If the gas needed for your daily city commute is guzzling up a good chunk of your paycheck, you could really benefit from the economical and fuel-efficient Ford Fusion Hybrid. This midsize sedan comes with a 2-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, which combine to produce 188 horsepower. But the best part is the vehicle's impressive fuel economy of 43 mpg in the city 41 mpg on the highway. When you opt for the top-of-the-line Titanium trim, you can upgrade to the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid, allowing you to switch between gas, electric power, or a combination of the two. Running exclusively on electric power is great for those shorter commutes since it has a range of 26 miles. When using the combination of gas and electric to power your Fusion, you'll extend that to over 600 miles with a full charge and a full tank of gas. Ford Taurus When you're spending a good deal of time on the highway to get to work, comfort is a must-have from your vehicle. The Ford Taurus gives you a smooth yet capable 3.5-liter V-6 engine and six-speed transmission that make highway commutes a breeze. Plus, this full-size sedan comes with a ton of creature comforts, like power-adjustable front seats. When you upgrade to the Limited trim, standard luxury features include ambient lighting, a heated steering wheel, ventilated and heated front seats, and leather upholstery. more Let's face it, commuting leaves you even more susceptible to being involved in an accident. The Taurus' standard safety features, like a post-crash alert system, a rearview camera, cruise control, and electronic stability control, work to keep you and your carpool companions safe. Ford EcoSport If your job requires that you commute to a work site or a remote area, you may have to make your way through some tough terrain, like mud, small rivers, or gravel roads. Additionally, some jobs require that you carry quite a bit of work gear with you. If this is the case, a subcompact SUV like the Ford EcoSport could give you the utility, cargo space, and fuel economy you need. Front-wheel drive and a turbocharged 1-liter, three-cylinder engine come standard on most EcoSports, which is great for city dwellers or for running errands around town. For those who need a little more power for their commute, all-wheel drive and a 2-liter four-cylinder engine are available as an upgrade at all trim levels and even come standard on the sporty SES model. Though these are some of our personal favorites, there are a ton of Ford vehicles that are great for commuting in the 2020 lineup.

In 1996, drivers experienced a bit of disappointment when Ford decided to discontinue its popular Bronco SUV. Fans of this greatly missed vehicle will be happy to know that the automaker is bringing it back for the 2021 model year. Not only that, but Ford is also introducing the Bronco Sport. Let's explore the similarities and differences between the Bronco and Bronco Sport. Platform Ford plans to build the Bronco Sport around a platform separate from the one it will use for the original Bronco. While the truck-based Bronco will sit on a body-on-frame platform, the smaller Bronco Sport will ride on a unibody chassis similar to the one found in Ford's Focus and Escape models. The Bronco Sport will also share components with both of those vehicles. Engines Under the hood of the 2021 Bronco, you'll find an EcoBoost 2.3-liter inline-four engine or a 2.7-liter V-6, depending on which trim level you choose. The inline-four engine can produce 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. With the V-6, you get 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. In the Bronco Sport, a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine will come standard. A 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four will be available in upper trim levels. While the three-cylinder engine produces 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque, the four-cylinder can put out 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Transmission As for transmission systems, the Bronco will feature a 10-speed automatic transmission in models with the inline-four engine. The V-6 teams up with a seven-speed manual transmission. An eight-speed automatic transmission will come standard on all Bronco Sport models. more Exterior You can expect the Bronco and Bronco Sport to have a sophisticated and modern exterior design while paying tribute to the Broncos of the past. Both lineups will feature familiar accents like a rectangular grille and round headlights. No matter which version you choose, everyone will know you're driving a Bronco, thanks to the bold Bronco lettering that features across the grille. While the Bronco Sport is based on the Escape, it will have more ground clearance. The Bronco and Bronco Sport will both sport retro-inspired details, but the Bronco gives you a little something extra. With the standard-size Bronco, you can choose between two-door and four-door models. Not only can you decide how many doors you want, but you can also remove those doors. Because the Bronco's side-view mirrors are on the vehicle's A-pillars, you can take the doors off and still have a street-legal SUV. You can also remove the roof and store it in the Bronco's cargo compartment along with the doors. Hybrid Models If you're looking for a more fuel-efficient ride, you can look forward to hybrid versions of both the Bronco and Bronco Sport. Ford plans to power these hybrid models with a combination of a naturally-aspirated gas engine and electric motor. Like other hybrid vehicles in the Ford lineup, you'll be able to choose between hybrid and all-electric driving modes. As you can see, both the Bronco and Bronco Sport are fantastic additions to the Ford family of vehicles. Both SUVs will soon be available to test drive, so you can see which one is right for you.
