Not all retirements last forever. Just think of your Great Uncle who keeps returning to the office "for one final project". We at Franklin Ford are thankful for that, because that means it's possible for our favorite models to return to the lineup, and that's exactly what's happening with the Ford Ranger! In case you didn't hear, the midsize truck is back and it's a full package that is sure to be a class-leader. Here are three things we love about the 2019 Ford Ranger! Performance: engineers didn’t to hold back on the Ranger's capabilities, and if any of the competitors thought the Ranger would need some time to get back up to speed, they thought wrong. The Ranger has 270 horsepower, 310 lb-ft torque, the ability to tow up to 7,500 pounds when equipped with the towing package, and a payload max of 1,860 pounds. So, what do all those numbers mean? The towing and payload specs are best-in-class. The torque is class-leading. The Ranger's 10-speed transmission is also class-exclusive. Basically, you'll be able to do a lot with this midsize truck! Safety: if you're looking for advanced safety, the Ranger has you covered. All trims come with pre-collision assist and automatic emergency braking, and of course there is Bluetooth and a rearview camera that's coupled with dynamic hitch assist. As you move up the trims you'll get more Ford Co-Pilot360™ features, like auto high-beams, BLIS® with trailer coverage and cross-traffic alert, a lane keeping system, and more. On the top two trims, you'll have the option to get adaptive cruise control. Amenities: depending on the trim, you'll either have SYNC® with voice-command technology or SYNC®3 and its 8-inch touchscreen and access to Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. If you want to go all out, we suggest the top Lariat trim. It has handsome leather seats that can be power-adjusted for the front-row passengers, a half-year subscription to SiriusXM (most brands just give a 3-month trial), and ambient lighting. This is just a taste of what the 2019 Ford Ranger has to offer. Stop into our Franklin MA Ford dealership to learn more about this truck that has found its way to back to our dealership.

At our dealership we have a great selection of 2019 Ford Escape SUVS, and here are five reasons why you should buy or lease one! Reason 1: you'll have engine options Ford likes to give each model several engines, and with the Escape you'll have three. Just pick the trim that meets your performance needs. S: 2.5L with 168 horsepower SE & SEL: 1.5L EcoBoost with 179 horsepower Titanium: 2.0L EcoBoost with 245 horsepower Reason 2: infotainment is great on all levels If you choose the S trim, you'll have Ford's SYNC® that uses voice technology, and it's known for being one of the best, most natural voice systems out there. This is great for budget shoppers or people who don't like too much tech. For everyone else, you'll enjoy the standard SYNC®3 on the remaining trims. It has an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay™/Android Auto™, and a few other useful apps. Reason 3: you can drive off with advanced safety If you want advanced safety technologies to have your back, starting after the S you can add on the Ford Safe & Smart package. Some of the features you'll get are lane-keeping assist, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic assist, and auto high-beams. Reason 4: it helps you load cargo Well, you still have to physically put your bags, boxes, or luggage into the back of the Escape, but depending on the trim you can get either a power or hands-free liftgate! Reason 5: it'll help you enjoy all four seasons During the rainy months the available rain-sensing wipers have your back. When beautiful summer rolls around, you can get an Escape with a sunroof and enjoy the natural light and breeze. When fall arrives you can turn on the navigation and make your way to the best leaf-peeping or apple cider spots. When things get cold, as they do in New England, you can turn on your heated seats, and there is even a heated steering wheel on the top trim! These are just a few reasons why we love the 2019 Ford Escape! Come down to our dealership for a test drive and to see what else this popular SUV has to offer.
