If you just look at a car lot or observe the vehicles passing by, you’ll quickly notice an SUV can come in a variety of sizes and styles. Variety can be overwhelming when you don’t know where to start or aren’t even completely sure what you’re looking for. But then again, it can also help to quickly narrow down your search from a handful of vehicles to just a particular brand or model. Luckily Ford makes a family of great SUVs and crossovers that range in size from small and large. So no matter your needs, there’s sure to be a Ford SUV model for you.
The first question you might be asking is, is there a difference between an SUV and a crossover? It’s a small change but one that can make all the difference depending on your lifestyle and needs. The simple answer, an SUV sits on a truck platform while a crossover sits on a car base. What does that mean in more practical terms? If you’re looking for something that can take you off-road for the weekend or maybe do a little hauling, you might want to focus on the SUVs. But if you’re using your daily ride more for errands, commutes, and small trips, a crossover would be a great fit. However, fundamentally, the two are pretty similar, and your decision will lie more in other factors such as size rather than construction.
Ford SUVs range in size from subcompact to compact to midsize to full-size, with some three-row options. With the smaller subcompact or compact sizes like the EcoSport, Bronco Sport, and Escape, you’re getting a great compact vehicle that’s perfect for every driving, running errands, or taking on a commute. Usually the smaller SUVs and crossovers will offer second-row seating and decent cargo space, but if you need more room for people or cargo, you’ll have to move up a size.
Moving up, the midsize models include the off-road-oriented Bronco and the Edge, which offers drivers versatility and makes it easier than ever to load up the camping gear for a weekend away. Both the compact and midsize SUVs are known for their sleek designs and are a common sight on the roads due to their great balance of form and function. The largest body is the full-size SUV, which normally has the power of a truck with all the space or seating a person could need. Ford models like the Expedition and Explorer were created with utility in mind, giving drivers the ability to meet whatever challenges life presents them. From fitting in everyone and their friends to heavy hauling and towing, the full-size SUV is a multifunction vehicle that's great for large families and big adventures that don’t fit inside the box.
Looking at some of Ford's top-selling SUVs and crossovers, it’s easy to see why they are so popular. From stylish lines to great power, complete with excellent features and tech that make driving fun again, there really is no wrong choice when it comes to Ford.
One of Ford’s best-selling vehicles is the compact crossover, the Ford Escape. The Escape, now in its fourth generation, is known for its versatility and excellent value, making it a favorite among drivers. The five-passenger crossover makes driving feel fresh and is perfect for your active lifestyle of picking up groceries or heading to the trails. The Escape is also considered efficient in more ways than one, delivering great gas mileage while also giving drivers flexible cargo space and lasting dependability.
If you’re looking to go up a size, check out the always popular Ford Explorer. The midsize SUV delivers the power of a truck along with the space for up to seven passengers. The name says it all, Explorer, always ready to take on the next great adventure no matter where it leads. This SUV can take drivers where they want to go, plus give them enough space to haul all their gear, so nothing gets left behind. The versatility of the Explorer is what keeps drivers and their families coming back to it over and over. It’s perfect for city or country, running errands, or getting away for the weekend. The spacious SUV not only comes with an impressive fuel economy when compared to other vehicles of its size, but it’s also easy on the budget, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a little extra room.
If you’re in need of an SUV that can give you the ruggedness of a truck, plus has room for up to eight passengers and some space left over for some gear, then look no further than the impressive Ford Expedition. The Expedition is a beast when you need a little extra muscle to pull that boat or haul around the entire family. One look at the full-size SUV from Ford, and it’s obvious why it remains such a popular full-size SUV. The Ford Expedition isn’t one to sacrifice function for comfort either. The inside is spacious and comfortable after a long day. The Expedition is definitely an SUV that demands attention no matter where it goes.
