When the great outdoors calls, you need an SUV that can traverse through the elements and different terrains with ease. The 2022 Ford Bronco Sport packs the performance and versatility needed for this job, along with a comfortable cabin and some of the most advanced tech features available in any crossover vehicle today. For a better breakdown, here's a quick guide on the 2022 Bronco Sport and some of its most exciting standout features. Strong Performance Regardless of whether you're taking to dirt trails or pavement, the Bronco Sport is ready for it all thanks to its two different engine choices, 8-speed automatic transmission, and standard four-wheel-drive powertrain. The base engine is a 181-horsepower 1.5-liter, while a 2.0-liter with 249 horsepower is also available. To save on fuel, both engines feature Auto Start-Stop Technology, and you can tow up to 2,200 pounds with the 2.0-liter engine. H.O.S.S., a suspension system geared towards off-road driving, comes standard in all models, as does a five-mode terrain traction system, which comes with seven modes in the rock-tackling Badlands model. Trail-Ready Design Ford also designed this SUV's interior with off-road activities in mind, so in addition to its spacious five-seater cabin, rubberized flooring is available with drain plugs, so you can quickly rinse out the dirt after taking to the trails. The second-row seats also fold flat if you should need more room for camping equipment or groceries. A safari-style roof, as well as a heavy-duty steel roof, are both available, so you can decide if you'd rather have more space for cargo or a sturdy surface to camp out on above the vehicle. Decadent Technology For making phone calls while on the road or toggling through music playlists, you can connect your smartphone wirelessly to the vehicle's SYNC 3 infotainment system. An available Wi-Fi hotspot is also available, so you and your family members or friends can connect to the internet simultaneously with your personal devices. While charging your phone with the wireless charging pad, you can also keep a lookout for obstacles or animals on the trail around you with the split-view 180-degree camera. Superior Safety Features Many of the Bronco Sport's standard and available safety features are ahead of their time. No longer will you have to remember to turn your high beams off for other vehicles or when lighting conditions change because the Auto High-Beam Headlamps can automatically do this for you. There's also Pre-Collision Assist with Active Emergency Braking, which can detect when obstacles are in your path and can then bring the vehicle to a stop when necessary. If there isn't enough time to stop, the Evasive Steering Assist feature will then kick into action and will attempt to quickly steer your vehicle around an obstacle or other vehicle to avoid a collision. The 2022 Bronco Sport has quickly earned its status as a first-class off-road SUV, thanks to its rugged design, robust performance, and phenomenal technology.

When you need an adventurous SUV that fits as comfortably in off-road scenarios as it does on local city streets, consider the resilient 2022 Explorer. Known for its 4x4 capabilities, plush interior, and convenient tech features, this vehicle is remarkably agile across different terrains and doesn't back down from a challenge. So, if you haven't experienced the 2022 Ford Explorer yet, here's a quick introduction to some of its highlights. Multiple Performance Options Of the three engines available for the 2022 Explorer, the strongest in the group is the ground-shaking 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, as it delivers 400 horsepower. The other two engines, a 300-horsepower 2.3-liter and a 3.3-liter hybrid with 318 horses are both impressively powerful as well. Off the pavement, you can tackle just about any challenging scenario by combining the 7-mode Terrain Management System with the Intelligent 4WD option, along with the durable Michelin self-sealing tires. The available 8.7 inches of ground clearance, limited-slip rear differential, and skid plates found on Timberline models are just some of the reasons why it's considered to be the Explorer's premium off-road trim. Relaxing and Spacious Inside Inside the Explorer's roomy cabin, which seats up to seven passengers, is a tri-zone climate control system, so passengers can enjoy their own temperature settings. Ambient lighting and front-row multi-contour seats with five back massage settings are also available. If you're a music lover, the outstanding 12-speaker B&O audio system is a must-have option, as it adds an exhilarating background soundtrack with pristine clarity to every drive. To keep camping equipment or groceries neatly organized, there's an available cargo management system for storing cargo behind the third-row seats. Truly Innovative Technology This SUV's technology is notable as well, as there are plenty of different state-of-the-art options available. With any compatible smartphone, you can connect to Wi-Fi with the 4G LTE hotspot or access your contacts and make hands-free calls to them with the SYNC 3 infotainment system. You can also charge your device without any cables, thanks to the wireless charging console. The available Adaptive Cruise Control System, one of Ford's major technological feats, can help to relieve stress on long drives by keeping your vehicle's speed set to your preferences while also adapting it to the speed of other vehicles in your lane. Stay Secure in All Scenarios Steering clear of other vehicles in your daily drives is simpler with advanced warning technology like Pre-Collision Assist, Lane-Centering, and the Blind Spot Information System. Even while slowly reversing in parking lots, you'll have increased safety with the vehicle's rearview camera and reverse parking sensors. If you forget to turn your high beams off as another vehicle is approaching yours, the Auto High-Beam Headlamps feature can automatically do this for you so other drivers aren't distracted by your lights. Even parking is made simpler with the available Active Park Assist 2.0 system, which can park the vehicle for you after you've located an empty parking space. The 2022 Explorer offers the best of both worlds with its rugged approach to tough terrains and comfortable, tech-integrated cabin.

Has there ever been a more aptly named car than the Ford Mustang? Named after the fast, muscular, regal stallion - the Mustang lives up to its name. The 2022 Ford Mustang is another in a long line of success, dating all the way back to 1965. Continue reading to learn more about why the Mustang is such a special automobile. Basics About the 2022 Ford Mustang The 2022 Mustang is back with its classic power. There's a reason why it was voted one of the top performance coupes of 2022. It's no surprise that the Mustang packs a punch, with the base EcoBoost trim featuring a 310 horsepower Mustang EcoBoost engine. The rest of the trim levels sure don't pull any punches. The Mustang GT is equipped with a 5.0L V8 engine, delivering 450 horsepower. The Mustang Mach-1 will also come equipped with the 5.0L V8 engine but ups the horsepower to 470. Then there's the GT500. This beast has a supercharged 5.2L V8 engine under the hood and is pulling an insane 760 horsepower. What's New New appearance packages, like the Ice White Edition, Stealth Edition, and the Coastal Limited edition, are available this year. As the name suggests, the Ice White Edition will be a whited-out mustang - even featuring white rims. The Stealth Edition is equipped with sharp blacked-out accents and features matching color options for the interior. The Coastal Limited Edition has the perfect aesthetic of a “beach car”, with its convertible roof and unique body accents. Style Meets Grace The Mustang will continue to boast its classic coupe look. There are numerous exterior colors to choose from, a few being Rapid Red, Oxford White, Shadow Black, Eruption Green, Atlas Blue, Mischievous Purple, and Dark Matter Gray. The interior options are Dark Ceramic and Ebony. But if you're looking for that next-level look, then the special appearance packages mentioned above are all great options. What is all that style going to do if the ride is clunky? Well don't fret, the ride is as smooth as ever. With the GT's 4.6 seconds 0-60 time, you may be surprised to hear the Mustang can also take corners with precise efficiency. The suspension system also provides for an even ride, eliminating harsh and rough bumps. Ford Technology Ford's motto is “Built Tough”, but maybe an addendum of “Built Smart” should be added. The Mustang is indeed built smart to match all of its brawn. The standard model features a modest yet adequate 4.2-inch screen display, which is increased to 8.0-inches in the GT and Mach 1 trims. With these displays, you can have a world of convenience with features like smartphone connectivity, ease of navigation, and easily accessible car support systems. Safety systems, like the anti-lock braking system and the stability control system, are key technologies for road safety. The anti-lock braking system prevents your car from seizing wheel rotation in sudden braking, while the stability control system aids in the continued steady traction of the wheels to grant greater maneuverability and steering. With great power comes great responsibility and that is why Ford built the Mustang with strength and safety in mind. Ford has a history of reliability, confidence in its manufacturing process, and creating attractive automobiles. The Mustang is a testament to all three of those qualities. Having the same standards when looking for a dealer will ensure your peace of mind in the car-shopping process.

So, you're in the market for a new vehicle, but you don't have quite enough cash on hand to pay for it outright. Financing the vehicle means you can drive it home today, and fortunately, your local dealer can help. Here's why you should look no further than your local Ford dealer for car financing. 1. It's Usually the Fastest Option Financing your new car or truck through the dealership is usually the fastest and most convenient approach. You can pick out a vehicle, negotiate the price, and arrange financing without ever leaving the dealership. We know you'll be excited about your new vehicle, and arranging the financing through your dealership is the fastest way of getting behind the wheel. 2. It's a Great Deal Most dealerships have large financing departments that work on getting each buyer a competitive interest rate. Once you've filled out a financing application, your dealer will shop it around to multiple lenders and bring a set of offers back for you to select from. The fact that you'll have various offers to choose from guarantees that you'll find a financing package that suits your financial situation. 3. It's a Solution for Those With Poor Credit If you've got poor credit and are worried about your ability to qualify for financing, a dealership that offers in-house financing is the perfect place to go. When you take advantage of in-house financing, you're borrowing directly from the auto dealership, not from an independent financial institution. You then pay back the amount you borrowed, plus interest fees, to the dealership. A dealership with in-house financing may take a more lenient approach when evaluating your credit score and your overall financial picture. Even if your credit isn't great, you still stand a good chance of being offered financing when you work with a dealer that offers in-house financing. 4. It May Open Up a Special Offer Some buyers who finance through the dealership qualify for special promotional financing, which usually carries an ultra-low interest rate or, in some cases, no interest rate at all. These offers are usually available only to customers with excellent credit scores. If you're able to score promotional financing, you can rest assured that you're being offered extremely low-cost financing. 5. It Won't Matter Who You Know One of the great things about financing through a dealership is that it doesn't matter who you are or who you know. Dealerships will work with anyone to get a great financing package. It doesn't matter how much money you make or if you've purchased cars from that dealership before. A good dealer will partner with you and advocate on your behalf when reaching out to lenders. Car shopping is fun, and getting comfortable with the financing process helps you relax and enjoy picking out your next car or truck. What are you waiting for?

There Are Two Powerful Engine Options An energetic 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine comes with 190 pound-feet of torque and 181 horsepower, and that comes with the base model as well as the Big Bend and Outer Banks trims. It's neatly powerful and a standout in start-and-stop traffic. Get a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 277 pound-feet of torque and 250 horsepower when you opt for the Badlands and First Edition trims. Go with the turbocharged if you're looking to reach higher speeds and go off-road. 2. It's a Smooth and Composed Drive Sharp, responsive steering and a short wheelbase mean the Bronco takes on turns easily, remaining steady even around sharper corners. So not only does it do well on open, winding roads, but when you're ready to return to the inner-city, you'll be able to navigate tight parking garages and laneways with ease. Feel confident in any situation thanks to nicely sensitive brakes. 3. It's a Killer Off-Roader The Sport's suspension soaks up bumps and dips with ease, but it's the Badlands trim that's the most equipped to take you on any and all terrain. The 245-hp turbo-four engine pairs with an enhanced all-wheel-drive system, up to 8.8 inches of ground clearance, and skid plates to help you make the climb over heavy-duty territory. Deck your Bronco out with helpful tech such as a forward-facing camera for the more uncertain trails. 4. It Looks Great, Inside and Out With an exterior design that takes after old-school Fords, the boxy, rugged Bronco Sport looks like it's ready for adventure. The interior is equally handsome with lots of chunky features, and it's fitted out with plenty of hard plastics. The Base, Big Bend, and Outer Banks trims get you best-in-class cargo volume, boasting 65.2 cubic feet behind the first row of seats. Enjoy add-on features like a slide-out table that acts as your office out of the office, and LED lights inside the rear gate for overhead lighting. 5. There's Reliable Technology on Offer Ford's SYNC 3 system is known for being one of the most user-friendly infotainment packages in the game, and that's made clear with the standard 8-inch touchscreen that's responsive with sharp graphics. Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a six-speaker system all come standard too, and upgrades will get you wireless device charging and a ten-speaker sound system. Ford's safety suite is unbeatable, with almost all its advanced features coming standard, such as lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. Ready for an adventure?
