Keep reading to learn a bit more about what you need to know when shopping for a used Ford SUV.
Breaking Down Ford’s SUV Lineup
When exploring the Ford SUV lineup over the last few years, it’s worth starting with an option that was discontinued after the 2022 model year. The Ford EcoSport was an entry-level subcompact SUV, perfect for budget-minded city dwellers who mostly navigate tight parking spaces and crowded streets. Additionally, the final years of this more than capable SUV featured standard all-wheel drive, making it surprisingly capable in light snow or rain.
Then, there’s the Ford Edge, which was discontinued more recently, after the 2024 model year. This midsize SUV combined roominess and maneuverability, along with efficiency and high performance, thanks to its powertrain options. On the inside, it also offered quality materials, comfortable seating, and a quiet cabin. Plus, top-tier models offer amenities such as ventilated front seats and a panoramic sunroof.
Regarding pre-owned options that are still a part of the Ford lineup, the following information can help you narrow down which models match your driving routine and needs.
Ford Escape
The Escape has been a perennial favorite for small families and commuters since it was introduced in 2000 for the 2001 model year. From 2021 through its 2023 refresh, the Escape gained a sleeker exterior, a more modern interior, and three powertrain choices—gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The PHEV model in particular delivers excellent electric-only range for daily errands, and all Escapes after 2022 come with Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Ford Explorer
For those who need even more passenger space and towing capacity, the Explorer delivers three rows of seating and optional hybrid power. From 2021 to 2023, Explorer buyers could choose the sport-tuned ST model or the fuel-efficient hybrid, both benefiting from upgrades to the Co-Pilot360 safety suite, including features like blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. For the 2023 model year, however, many of these features became standard on most trims.
Ford Bronco
Perhaps the biggest buzz in recent years has surrounded Ford’s revival of the Bronco nameplate. In 2021, the full-size Bronco roared back onto dealer lots with removable doors and roof panels, electronic locking differentials, and a suite of trail-focused features that pit it directly against established off-road juggernauts. The smaller Bronco Sport, which shares its platform with the Escape, blends urban usability with a serious off-road look, and both models have seen strong demand that pushes used prices higher.
Ford Expedition
At the very top of the lineup sits the Expedition, Ford’s full-size three-row family-hauler. Through 2025, the Expedition has retained its EcoBoost V6 engine, towing capacities of up to and in some cases over 9,000 lbs when properly equipped, and a luxury-leaning interior, particularly when choosing either the King Ranch or Platinum trims.
What Makes the Pre-Owned Ford SUV Lineup a Contender?
Now that you know what SUVs you may find in our pre-owned lineup, you may wonder why you should choose a Ford SUV. With this in mind, it’s good to know that Ford’s EcoBoost engines have remained a central selling point, as turbocharging and direct injection deliver impressive power. However, it’s important to understand that they also demand diligent maintenance.
When shopping from our pre-owned lineup, we provide you with a long list of extras, including complimentary oil changes for two years, as well as unlimited lifetime 75-point inspections to make sure the SUV you choose continues to function as it should. Additionally, you can rest assured that our factory-trained technicians have thoroughly vetted each vehicle on our lot to make sure they are ready for the next owner.
Improved Infotainment and Safety Technologies
Another reason to consider a pre-owned Ford SUV is that the brand’s infotainment and driver-assist technologies were revamped in the last few years. The newest version of the infotainment system, SYNC 4, has been praised for its bright touchscreen and improved voice recognition. Additionally, Ford Co-Pilot360—which bundles adaptive cruise control, lane centering, pedestrian detection, and cross-traffic alert—became more capable and, in certain top-tier models, offered the availability of BlueCruise, a hands-free highway driving mode.
Reliability
Reliability is key when shopping for any vehicle, but particularly when choosing a pre-owned option. Over the past few years, Ford’s reputation for manufacturing reliable vehicles has remained consistent, which gives you peace of mind when shopping from our inventory. Plus, knowing you have our state-of-the-art service center and factory-trained technicians on your side doesn’t hurt either.
Finding the Right Fit
Value-conscious buyers will find the Escape Hybrid models from 2022 through 2024 to be among the best all-around picks. They deliver fantastic fuel efficiency, maneuver well around town, and have enough room for smaller families. On the other hand, Ford Bronco models are a standout for off-road enthusiasts—particularly the Badlands trim, which features upgraded suspension components and front-and-rear locking differentials. Finally, families in need of maximum space may gravitate toward the Explorer XLT or Limited trims from 2022 onward, which balance three-row seating, strong towing capacity, and modern safety technology.
Regardless of what you’re looking for, Ford’s diverse SUV lineup offers something for everyone, which is why it should be at the top of your list if you’re looking for a pre-owned SUV.
