What if we told you that one of the most popular subcompact crossovers is one you’ve never heard of? You might scoff, but it’s true. It’s the Ford EcoSport, which has been offered in global markets for years. Now, its next generation is kicking off, and it’s coming to America to infect us with its utility-packed cuteness.
Drivers and working folk who are looking for a truck with more capability than the popular half-ton F-150 have quite the winning proposition on their hands for the foreseeable future. An all-new Ford Super Duty was launched this year, and it’s better than ever before thanks to technological innovations, more intelligence, and even more muscle.
Although other models have come along in an attempt to usurp its throne, the Ford Escape has stayed near the top of the compact crossover sales charts. But second best isn’t the Blue Oval’s comfort zone. They strive to be the very best that no one ever was, and that’s part of the rational behind the refinement of the 2017 facelift.
The first generation Ford Raptor arrived at an odd time for niche models: during the economic recession of the late oughts. Yet in spite of this, the production plants and order books for this off-road rated pickup have been full up for a while. With the second generation model arriving in dealerships, we expect that trend to continue, and we’ll tell you why.
The Ford Explorer has always been somewhat difficult to miss in parking lots thanks to its instantly-recognizable design, muscular presentation, and of course, the Blue Oval badge. In recent years, however, they’ve been upgrading the equipment on their seven-seater gradually, and even adding upscale touches such as the Platinum trim.
