Your Ultimate Ford Buying Experience in Junction City, KS

Ford produces a range of vehicles, each designed for different purposes. The three main categories are SUVs, pickups, and cars, and each one has its own set of unique features and benefits.

• SUVs: Perfect for families or those who need ample cargo space and versatility. Ford's SUV lineup includes the used compact EcoSport (now discontinued,) the midsize Escape, and the spacious Expedition.
• Trucks: Ideal for those who require a vehicle with exceptional towing and hauling capabilities. Ford's legendary F-Series trucks, ranging from the F-150 to the Super Duty models, are the go-to choice for work and play.
• Cars: While Ford is more well-known for its new SUVs and pickups, let's not forget the iconic Mustang. This legendary sports car offers thrilling performance and head-turning style.

Think about your lifestyle, hobbies, and plans to pick the type that suits you.

Every Ford model boasts particular talents. So, verify your next ride can handle your unique needs and priorities.

For example, if you regularly haul bulky gear and equipment or plan to tow trailers, boats or ATVs, pay close attention to cargo dimensions and towing capacities. Carefully check bed length and width measurements on new trucks to ensure your cargo will fit. Compare towing numbers against the actual weight of the items you need to haul - a difference of just a few hundred pounds makes a big difference on the road.

Be sure to account for passengers as well. The Expedition full-size SUV offers ample room for up to 8, while the Escape compact SUV seats 5 comfortably. Then, review engine offerings – a muscular turbocharged V6 or potent V8 could prove mandatory if you require serious hauling and trailering power.

If you can't find what you're looking for, know that we offer custom factory order, meaning you can build a Ford to your exact specifications.

From wallet-friendly models to top-tier Limited versions packed with luxury features, Ford offers attractive selections at every price point.

But look beyond just MSRP pricing to accurately calculate long-term costs. Weigh projected insurance premiums, scheduled maintenance requirements, and fuel efficiency over likely years of ownership within your state and driving habits.

Our finance department can also explore lease options, finding the ideal balance of lower payments now and ownership later. They can help you navigate the buying process and find the best financing options for you.

Most Ford models are available in multiple trim levels and feature distinct styling, amenities, and pricing. Higher grades usually add premium touches like leather upholstery, cutting-edge tech, and boosted performance. Deciding which upgrades seem necessary versus simply nice to have can make picking the proper trim a breeze.

For example, the F-150 offers anything from the workhorse XL to the ultra-luxury Platinum. The Raptor packs upgraded off-road prowess, while the F-150 Lightning leads Ford's electric revolution. Consulting a salesperson on pricing specifics could reveal the ideal compromise between features and value in your favorite model's mid-grade offering.

Fuel efficiency is another crucial factor to consider when selecting your Ford vehicle. Optimizing your long-term savings starts with choosing a model with excellent fuel economy. Ford has a range of fuel-efficient options, including hybrids and electric cars.

When comparing new cars, look for the MPG (miles per gallon) ratings, which indicate how far a vehicle can travel on one gallon of fuel. Keep in mind that city and highway MPG ratings may differ, so consider your driving habits when evaluating fuel efficiency.

When it comes down to it, all the research in the world can only get you so far. Sure, comparing specs, looking at prices, and reading reviews can help narrow down the options. But nothing beats test-driving these vehicles yourself.

Because here's the thing--how a car looks on paper doesn't always translate to real-world experience. Statistics are helpful, but they don't tell the whole story. You need to feel that steering wheel in your hands as you swerve around corners. Run your fingers across the leather seats as you imagine shuttling the kids to school. Press that gas pedal down and open her up on the highway.

The only way to know for sure is to schedule a test drive. So come down to Valor Auto Group, find a model you fancy, and take it for a spin! We'll set you up with the keys so you can put these Fords through their paces.
