Exploring Ford’s Exceptional Array of Used Vehicles

As one of the oldest and most successful automakers in the world, finding a used Ford for sale is not a difficult task. In addition to best-selling models like the F-150, Escape, and Mustang, you can even find once-popular but now discontinued vehicles that are exceptional value used.
This includes sedans like the Taurus and Fiesta, which haven’t been produced by Ford since 2019, when a new strategy was implemented to focus on SUVs, pickup trucks, and electric vehicles.

No matter whether you want one of these used Ford sedans or are in the market for a used Ford SUV or pickup truck, the best place for you to find your next Ford is right here at DePaula Ford in Albany. We carry a vast inventory of used Ford models, so you will have no problem finding the vehicle that works best for you––especially with our friendly team to help you out! To get you started, here are some popular used models to consider.

Used Ford Trucks

The most popular vehicle in the United States is the Ford F-150 pickup truck, and it has held that title for over 40 years. Over 700,000 Ford F-Series trucks were sold in 2021, showing Ford’s dominance in the pickup truck marketplace––and that was a slow year! This popularity makes sense since Ford invented that pickup truck, offering motorists the Ford Model TT back in 1917, which was built on the successful Model T frame that had been introduced in 1908.

A used Ford F-150 is a far cry from the simplicity of the Model TT, offering drivers the choice of four-wheel drive, a half dozen different engines, three bed sizes, three cab styles, and an astounding number of trim levels. These trims include serious off-roading versions like the Raptor and Tremor alongside luxury options like the Limited and Platinum. If you are looking for a truck that can give you incredible towing and hauling capability, solid fuel economy, and exceptional performance, nothing can match the versatility and dependability of the Ford F-150.

Ford also produces other trucks of differing sizes. The Ford Super Duty lineup of heavy-duty trucks encompasses the F-250, F-350, and F-450. These powerful trucks can be readily found on the used market and give you the most in towing and hauling capability, courtesy of either a potent gasoline V8 or a Power Stroke turbo-diesel engine. At the other end of the spectrum is the midsize Ranger. A used Ford Ranger from 2019 or later will come with a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost Turbo I-4 that can help you tow up to 7,500 lbs. The Ranger gives you a choice of several different trims, as well as either rear-wheel drive for fuel economy or four-wheel drive for exceptional traction.

Used Ford SUVs

The SUV has become the vehicle of choice for many drivers. Families love the roomy cabin for passengers and their belongings, while commuters like the fact that SUVs are rugged and dependable. Drivers here in New York especially appreciate the added ground clearance and all-wheel drive when winter storms hit. Ford wisely chose to focus on producing SUVs, and the result has been a comprehensive lineup that is the envy of the automotive world.

The Ford lineup of SUVs includes many different models, each a different size and designed to serve a different need. The largest is the three-row Expedition, a full-size SUV with seating for up to eight passengers. The Expedition is ideal for large families that need that extra space for everyone and the family dog. Ford even makes an Expedition MAX version that increases the available cargo space from an already impressive 104.6 cu.ft. to a truly exceptional 121.5 cu.ft. in 2018 and later models.

For families that want a three-row SUV but prefer something that is a little smaller, there is the Ford Explorer. This midsize SUV gives you a choice of several different engines, including a hybrid option introduced in 2020, helping you save money on gas while taking the whole family out on the road. If you want a bit more space, check out a used Ford Flex. Although this boxy SUV was discontinued in 2019, it remains a great option for families shopping on a budget.

There are also a number of smaller Ford SUVs that are great for commuters and new drivers. The Ford EcoSport is ideal for folks who want solid fuel economy on their daily commute. For example, the 2020 model can get you an impressive 29 MPG on the highway, so you won’t get hit in the wallet while trying to make money each week. The Ford Escape is a slightly larger SUV but will also give you exceptional fuel economy. In fact, choosing a 2020 Escape with the 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine and front-wheel drive will provide you with up to 33 MPG on the highway. In addition, Ford offers the Escape in hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, allowing you to enjoy even better fuel economy and escape spiking gas prices.

Ford has also built a series of SUVs that are designed for specific purposes. One of the best examples of this is the Ford Edge. For those looking for a sporty midsize SUV with exceptional performance, this midsize model gives you a choice of several exceptional engines to get you to work or out to a night out on the town. For maximum performance, look for the Edge ST. This trim has a twin-turbo V6 engine with 335 hp and was first introduced in 2019.

Used Ford Cars

While Ford made a decision to move away from building coupes and sedans, you can still find some exceptional vehicles at an affordable price by shopping for a used Ford car. One of the most versatile is the Ford Fusion. This sedan features a great selection of engines, including a number of hybrid options. Not only will it give you solid fuel economy, but it is also fun to drive with a sporty, aerodynamic look. The Ford Fusion was built until the 2020 model year.

The Ford Fiesta subcompact was discontinued the year before the Fusion. However, this car still provides drivers with exceptional fuel economy, with the 2019 model rated for up to 37 MPG on the highway. The Fiesta is very popular with new drivers who want a vehicle that will save money, as well as commuters who are focused on fuel economy. However, the high-performance Fiesta ST trim is renowned for its turbocharged engine and six-speed manual transmission.

Another popular used Ford car is the Focus. This model was first introduced in 2000 and would go through many technological advances over the years until it was finally discontinued in 2018. As a compact sedan, the Focus represents the midpoint between the Fiesta and Fusion, giving drivers more interior space than the Fiesta and better fuel economy than the Fusion. The Focus was one of the best-selling models in its segment since it provides drivers with the ability to carry up to five passengers safely and comfortably.

Probably the most famous Ford car is the Mustang. This classic muscle car has staked its place among the most popular sports cars in the world. The Mustang is an iconic coupe that has been in continuous production since 1964. This is probably why Ford decided to keep the Mustang in its lineup even after discontinuing the rest of its cars. Many different engine options are available when shopping for a used Ford Mustang, ranging from an efficient I-4 turbo to a monstrous supercharged V8. However, the most popular option is the big naturally aspirated V8 in the classic Mustang GT.

You Can Count on a Used Ford

Ford’s decision to stop building sedans raised quite a few eyebrows since it was one of the automakers that had popularized these four-door family cars. However, you can still find these reliable cars on the used market, and they remain a great choice for anyone shopping on a budget. Of course, you also have the option of buying a used Ford truck or SUV to enjoy a vehicle that is built Ford tough at a more affordable price.
