Summer vacations aren’t all about beach trips; sometimes, the best vacations are in the great outdoors! Have you considered a summer vacation to the beautiful mountains this year?
If the mountains are your destination, you’ll need a high-performing vehicle to tackle the steep inclines and curvy routes. Here are five great Ford vehicles that can tackle any mountain vacation. If you’re ready to find your next Ford, come see us at Crain Ford of Jacksonville, Central Arkansas’s premier Ford dealership.
Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport
The Ford Bronco is a classic, and when Ford brought it back in 2021, fans of this rugged and ready SUV were thrilled. If you search for Bronco online, countless pictures of Bronco drivers taking their SUV through forests and over mountainous terrain appear. This vehicle was made for cruising peaks and valleys.
The Bronco comes in two models: the larger Bronco and the more compact Bronco Sport. Each has its own unique features and performance capabilities. The larger 2024 Bronco features an available 3.0L EcoBoost V6 that delivers 418 horsepower and 4,500 lbs. of max towing capacity. The Bronco Sport can be equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost 14 engine with 250 horsepower and 2,200 lbs. of max towing capacity. Both are very capable vehicles for traversing mountainous terrain, with the Bronco Sport being the more fuel-efficient model at 25 MPG city and 29 MPG highway.

The Trail Control tech offers off-road cruise control for low-speed driving at the push of a button. Combined with an available 3.0L EcoBoost VS engine that generates 430 lb.-ft of torque, you’ll have no problem tackling the great outdoors this summer.
