Used Ford SUVs That Are Perfect for Albany Drivers

When it comes to driving in and around Albany, Ford SUVs are going to allow you to succeed on the road, thanks to their style and safety. If you’re someone who commutes to or from Albany every day, there’s an SUV that’ll serve you well, allowing you to start the day on the right foot. If you’re someone who likes to drive out to the trail in the autumn and see the trees changing colors while you hike, then, yep, there will be a Ford SUV for you. No matter what type of driver you are, you’re going to be covered, and yes, that includes those who are interested in hybrid or electric vehicles, too.

We encourage all visitors to DePaula Ford to give close consideration to a used Ford SUV as opposed to only test driving current year models. A used Ford can serve just as well as a new model while costing far less. Ford has been crafting quality vehicles for over a century, so a model that is a couple of years old is still going to be built with over one hundred years of automotive knowledge. If you’re looking for a used Ford for sale in Albany, look no further than the extensive selection you’ll find here at DePaula Ford. Let’s take a look at some of these SUVs, and you can decide which one is best for the type of driver you are.

For the Daily Commuter

If you live in Albany and drive to an office nearby each morning, or if you live outside Albany and trek into this fine city every weekday, you should look at the Ford Escape. This small SUV packs a punch despite its size. It has a nice, stylish exterior that features an aerodynamic front, which will be sure to turn heads on the road. It feels very much like a sedan while you’re driving, which many commuters love, all while still offering all the interior space and features of an SUV. The agile nature of its drive makes it ideal for managing tight city streets and for zipping from lane to lane on the highway. This Ford SUV will make any commuter’s morning a bright spot of the work day.

If you want what the Escape offers but are looking for some extra fuel efficiency, you should give close consideration to a used Escape Hybrid, which has been on the market since the 2020 model. You’ll save money by buying used, and its hybrid engine means your weekly budget will be a bit lighter; you’ll love driving to work knowing you’re not wasting money while doing so.

For Those Who Want an All-Electric Driving Experience

If you’re looking for an all-electric ride, you should check out a used Ford Mustang Mach-E, a very fast SUV that befits its Mustang name. Since charging stations have been cropping up increasingly in and around Albany, there’s never been a better time to own an EV, especially one as sleek and quick as the Mustang Mach-E. Since its debut, its models have consistently offered over 300 miles of range, too, so if a long journey is in the cards, you won’t have to worry about plotting out a ton of stops so you can juice this SUV back up. Instead, you’ll be cruising down the highway in style, taking advantage of the smooth acceleration.

While this is a “newer” model for Ford, it’s been around since 2021, so you still have plenty of chances to grab a used model. Since it’s an EV, the savings don’t stop at the used price tag, either, as visits to the pump will be done with, and you’ll be enjoying a fully electric ride that’ll allow you to pull up to any spot in Albany with style and a level of sophistication that few vehicles can match.

For Those Who Want to Bring the Whole Crew Along for the Ride

We know many New York drivers have big families or large friend groups. Being able to transport everyone at once can save time and money, so if you’re someone who wants to move plenty of people, then one of Ford’s full-size SUVs needs to be your next purchase. The manufacturer’s full-size SUVs are all packed with safety features in addition to their muscular build, making them ideal for family drivers.

The first full-size SUV is the Ford Explorer, a longtime favorite of families. It can seat up to seven people and tow a few thousand pounds, which means you can bring along everyone’s luggage even when you’re moving seven people. The Explorer’s cargo room and towing capacity will make family vacations far less stressful.

The Expedition, however, turns it up a notch. This full-size SUV seats up to eight, and most models can tow over 9,000 lbs. It’s packed with infotainment and luxury comfort touches. No matter the model year you opt for, this is an SUV that will outdo competitors’ models, because the Expedition provides everything you could want from an SUV. You’ll be able to bring the whole gang out camping for a weekend, or you can bring almost the entire starting lineup of your softball team to the diamond (their equipment included!).

For Those Who Crave Adventure

We know some of you are looking for an SUV that’ll let you drive all over the Catskills and conquer any trail, no matter how rugged. Luckily, Ford has just the option for you: a Ford Bronco. This SUV is built for dirt, mud, and snow. Heck, it might be happier driving over that than over pavement. The Bronco has been designed to outdo other manufacturers’ off-road SUVs, with the build even outdoing the famed Wrangler, and it comes with a few other touches that set it above the rest, such as the ample configurations you can choose from, its advanced tech that helps with off-roading, and its throwback exterior design.

But if you really want to know you have a vehicle that can tackle any terrain, you should check out the Bronco Raptor. With powerful engine options, suspension designed for the off-road, and massive wheels, this SUV can take you anywhere. It doesn’t let down on interior comfort, either; even though it’s ready to rumble, the inside of the Bronco Raptor is similar to the Bronco’s, so your passengers will be more than happy with the journey. The Bronco Raptor is the outdoors person’s best friend, as it will be just as excited for the day’s adventure as you are.
