The Ford F-150 Lightning

We’re not about to bury the lead here, so let’s start with the Ford that people are probably the most excited about: the all-new, all-electric F-150 Lightning. If you’ve been at all interested in the possibility of an EV pickup and waiting to see one of the Big Three have a go at it, then your time is now. The Lightning looks absolutely amazing, combining the legendary power and performance of the Ford F-Series of trucks with an electric battery system and motors that will deliver on the kind of capability you expect.

There are four impressive trims to consider when reserving an F-150 Lighting:

• Pro – The starting model features a Standard-Range battery plus a pair of motors for electric all-wheel drive. It has an estimated range of 230 miles from a full charge, while an available Extended-Range battery pushes that up to 300 miles.
• XLT – This trim has the same battery and motors as the standard model, with a Gray Ion Satin Metallic grille and signature front lighting. You get cloth seating here, rather than vinyl, along with a 360-degree camera system and an available Extended-Range battery.
• Lariat – If you choose the Lariat, then you get 20-inch wheels, leather-trimmed heated and ventilated seating, and a power tailgate. The Lariat has a 15.5-inch infotainment display, and available features include a twin-panel moonroof and the Extended-Range battery.
• Platinum – The highest trim offered for the F-150 Lighting, this comes with 22-inch machined aluminum wheels, heated and ventilated Nirvana leather seating, and the Extended-Range battery, all standard. You also get a B&O Unleashed sound system, the twin-panel moonroof, and much more.

No matter which F-150 Lightning you choose, you’ll get a fantastic new truck that gives you a glimpse into the future of the auto industry.

The Ford Expedition

Although not a brand-new model like the F-150 Lightning, the Ford Expedition is receiving some major upgrades for its 2022 model year. It’s being refreshed inside and out, with tons of fantastic new features and options available, including a new high-output engine and an all-new off-road-focused trim. There are numerous trims available for the Expedition, so let’s take a look at some of the most popular ones you can choose from:

• XL – The standard trim for the Ford Expedition, the XL features a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 380 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. It also comes with a 12-inch infotainment display, seating for up to eight passengers, and more.
• Limited – This trim features a boosted engine that delivers 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque for superior performance. It has more options available and is a great balance of style, performance, and technology.
• Timberline – The new off-road trim for the Expedition, this model features a high-output engine and steel underbody skid plates, plus a modified suspension with more than 10 inches of ground clearance.
• Stealth Performance Edition – Another all-new option, the Stealth Performance edition, has a high-output engine delivering 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque (same as the Timberline), plus 22-inch premium wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, and much more.

If you’re interested in a full-size SUV, then there’s never been a better time to check out the Ford Expedition and see what it has to offer.

The Ford Maverick

Joining the popular full-size F-150 and the midsize Ranger this year is the all-new Ford Maverick, a small pickup that is ready to take the world by storm. While small trucks have been popular in other parts of the world for decades, it has been a while since we’ve seen many of them here in the US. That’s all about to change, however, as the Maverick is set to lead the small-truck revolution with impressive performance and a sleek new design. Three trims will be available for the all-new Maverick, including:

• XL – The starting trim for the Maverick, the XL features a 2.5L full-hybrid engine, with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine available. It has an 8-inch infotainment display, a FLEXBED system with six tie-downs, and numerous USB ports and outlets throughout.
• XLT – For something a bit more advanced, the XLT trim features 17-inch aluminum wheels, an upgraded interior, along with standard features that include cruise control, keyless entry, and more. This model has a power locking tailgate and ten tie-downs as part of its FLEXBED system.
• Lariat – Finally, the Lariat features 18-inch machined aluminum wheels, an eight-way power driver’s seat, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. It has dual-zone automatic temperature control, a 6.5-inch LCD instrument cluster, push-button start, and more.

While the impressive features of the Maverick might not tempt someone who needs the size and power of something like the F-150, it’s the perfect choice if you’re interested in a small pickup.

The Ford Bronco

The Ford Bronco returned in style this last year, and even though it’s already available, you’ll probably still need to reserve one if you’d like to choose some of the most sought-after features. If you’re interested in an SUV that has been designed to conquer the trail as the ultimate off-road vehicle, then this is the model for you. Even Jeep’s legacy of off-road domination has been left behind as the Bronco has become the new king of the trail. There are a lot of different trims and models to choose from, but consider these:

• Base – The perfect place to start, this is the standard model and includes 4×4 and easy-to-remove doors. Available features on the Base include 35-inch tires and the Sasquatch package designed to let you take on any trail.
• Big Bend – This trim improves upon the Base model with boosted luxury and style. It has heated seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, remote start, and much more to offer.
• Outer Banks – The Outer Banks trim features 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, with signature LED headlamps and tail lamps. You can get an optional 12-inch touchscreen display in this model, as well as an advanced B&O sound system.
• Wildtrak – For the ultimate expression of off-road performance, the Wildtrak comes with the Sasquatch package standard: including 35-inch tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, Bilstein position-sensitive shocks, and much more. If you’re ready for the best off-road SUV on the market, then this is it.

As you can see, the Bronco and the rest of Ford’s lineup are better than ever with amazing performance and power both on and off the road. With so many great models and trims to choose from, however, it’s easy to get lost and have a hard time sorting through all of the options that are available.
