The new Ford Escape enters the 2023 model year with a sporty new look and enhancements across the lineup. A new set of trim levels and standard SYNC® 4 infotainment system are ready for Franklin, MA drivers to explore here at Franklin Ford.

Choose the Ideal Powertrain

You can choose from four different powertrains when shopping for a new Ford Escape, and two of these are hybridized! First, though, the standard 1.5-liter EcoBoost® I3 produces a surprising 180 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque, despite its small size. The upgraded 2.0-liter EcoBoost® I4 boosts the power output up to 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque.

Of course, you’re probably interested in the hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Both of these use the same 2.5-liter I4 engine, which produces up to 163 horsepower on its own. In the hybrid setup, you can enjoy up to 192 combined horsepower, and this rises to 210 combined horsepower in the plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Enjoy Premium Amenities

Every 2023 Escape comes with Ford’s advanced SYNC® 4 infotainment system standard, accessible on an 8-inch touchscreen display or an available 12-inch option. From here, you can access wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, SiriusXM® and more to get the information and entertainment you need on your Franklin, MA drives.

You’ll also find a variety of excellent driver-assist systems in the 2023 Ford Escape. The Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite of driver-assist systems includes features like a Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and a Lane-Keeping System.

Cargo vans are versatile and usually used for transporting products and people.

Our commercial cargo vans are more flexible and efficient but carry less cargo due to their smaller size and payload capacity.

Ford has various van models that provide Franklin, MA, drivers with many useful features to get the job done. Here is a detailed look at the new Ford Transit.

The summer heat in Franklin, MA can really do a number on your car. Not only could it cause your engine to overheat, but it could also lead to low fluid levels, improper tire pressure, or dirty air filters. But don’t sweat it – Franklin Ford has a complete service center that can work on all makes of vehicles. Whether you’ve got an old car or a brand-new model from our inventory, our skilled mechanics can get your car ready for the heat. You can even schedule an appointment online to save time.

Oil Changes

You always need to have your oil changed at regular intervals, but it’s especially important in the summer, when the heat can thin the oil and cause it to lose some of its viscosity. Changing your oil every five thousand miles can also help prevent particle buildup that could wear down vital parts of your engine. The expert technicians at Franklin Ford can change your oil and filter quickly while you wait in our customer lounge.

Radiator Service

One of the most serious concerns that hot weather presents is that your engine could overheat. Franklin drivers can avoid costly repairs by having us flush their radiator and refill it. It’s crucial to have the proper antifreeze/water mixture to fully protect your engine, and the seasoned professionals at Franklin Ford will make sure your radiator is ready for extreme temperatures.

A/C Service, Tires, Wipers, and Brakes

You won’t be comfortable driving around in Franklin this summer if your air conditioner isn’t working right. Our certified technicians will see to it that your A/C is operating properly so you won’t lose your cool. They can also check your tire pressure, windshield wipers, and brakes to ensure safer travels this summer.

Contact Franklin Ford for Prompt, Proficient Summer Auto Service

It may be a long, sultry summer, but the service center pros at Franklin Ford will help you stay cool and safe. Contact us online to arrange an appointment, then visit our dealership for prompt, proficient auto service.

At Franklin Ford, our mission is to help our customers shop for, research, and take home the best vehicle fit for their needs. One way we achieve that mission is by providing in-depth comparisons of our popular models next to the competition. Right now, if you’re in the market for a reliable, capable pickup truck and you find yourself trying to decide between the new Ford F-150 and its competition, we can help, with an insider look at how our truck comes out ahead.

To illustrate the winning traits of the F-150, we’ve taken a closer look at it side by side, in a Ford F-150 vs. Toyota Tundra comparison. Ready to learn more? Here are three highlights from our research:

1. Powertrain options: Where the Tundra has just two engines available, the F-150 has multiple. Ford gives Franklin, MA drivers a lot more choice for customizing their level of performance, with a menu of engines that includes hybrid and electric functionality.
2. EV model: It’s worth repeating that the Ford F-150 has a new, cutting-edge, all-electric version called the Ford F-150 Lightning. This goes along with a hybrid option and several gas-powered options to deliver a range of exciting opportunities for drivers. The Tundra, on the other hand, also has a hybrid option, but it doesn’t have an EV model for drivers who are looking for a new vehicle with the power and efficiency of electric engineering.
3. Utility: The Ford F-150 also has higher towing and payload capacities than the Toyota Tundra, making it more useful for your bigger jobs. Not only that, but the F-150 also gives drivers standard features that make towing easier and safer, such as trailer sway control, while the Toyota Tundra does not include trailering or towing features standard.

Discover all of the winning traits of the Ford F-150 for yourself, with a test drive at our dealership. We’re conveniently located, and we look forward to introducing you to your next Ford pickup truck soon.
