2022 Ford Bronco

 The Ford Bronco has returned in all its old glory with modern technology and hit's it out of the park with the added toughness and versatility.  It has the total package for those who love to take their vehicle off the beaten path and still be a daily driver. 

When you visit the 2022 Bronco with the friendly folks at Hixson Ford of Alexandria located at 2506 MacArthur Drive in Alexandria, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 318.448.0871 the first thing that will impress you and yours is its bold appearance that really shows off the Bronco's retro exterior. 

This new 2022 Ford Bronco stays true to the old styling with flat no-nonsense surfaces, clear-cut edges, square proportions and the wide assertive stance enhanced by its flared fenders.  Nobody will mistake the new Bronco for another four-wheeler with the huge “BRONCO” stamped into the grille. 

This feisty Bronco can handle just about any obstacles in the outback with the best in class ground clearance. Optional 33 inch tires and a slew of factory backed aftermarket accessories. To add to the fun, the Bronco can go topless and without doors.  The other plus is that it is so affordable.  Probably one of the differences from the previous model is the Bronco can now be had with two or four doors.

The two door has a removable three section roof while the four door Bronco has have a four section roof.  A cloth roof is standard on the four door and a hard top is available for both and the frameless doors can be removed and stored inside with the side mirrors still attached to the frame.  How cool is that?  Another cool thing is that the trail lights on the fenders also work as tie downs for your stuff on the roof such as a Kayak. 

Inside the rugged theme continues with lots of modern tech with the multifunction LCD instrument panel with clear and concise gauges.  Pluses continue with what lives under the Ford Bronco's masculine flat hood. The standard engine is an energetic I4 four cylinder turbo that kicks out 300 ponies and 325 lb-ft of “get-up and go” torque. 

If you desire more grunt and power then you can opt for the 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 that punches out 330 aggressive horses and an amazing 415 lb-ft of asphalt/dirt grabbing torque.  The I4 comes with a seven speed manual that is quick to throw and has the crawler gear which greatly helps in the tougher arenas. 

Then for those who prefer not to exercise the left leg and right arm, the 10 speed automatic is available.  The automatic is the only gear box for the V6.  Yes indeed, the 2022 Ford Bronco checks all the boxes from being a first class off-roader to getting groceries or going to work. 

No better time than now to find out how the Bronco can bring back that “fun factor” in your drive times.

2022 Ford Explorer

 It is a good bet that the aggressive looking police vehicle that just passed you by (thank goodness) with its blue lights flashing is a Ford Explorer.  It probably has under its masculine hood the powerful V6 turbo that kicks out 400 horses and 415 lb-ft of asphalt grabbing torque.  

The same engine that comes with the sporty ST model that puts you at 60 mph in about 5 seconds. The ST badge gives you stiffer suspension, larger brakes and AWD. The standard engine isn't no lightweight either with the 2.3-liter turbocharged engine that produces more punch and torque than its competitors V6's and even better fuel economy. 

This feisty inline-four produces 300 ponies and 310 lb-ft of “get-up and go” torque.  Standard on the higher trim Platinum is a 3.0-liter turbo V6 that is good for 365 horses and 380 lb-ft of torque.

All the Ford Explorer's engines offered are paired with a smooth shifting 10-speed automatic that drives the rear wheels.  For those who desire more confidence in their drive times AWD is available.  So, you have so many choices of power plants with the Explorer that will fit you style and wallet.  That said, Ford has put a priority on performance on its gutsy grocery getter along with improving the Explorer's handling and stability to make it drive like a sedan instead of a large SUV.  

The engineers and designers from Ford also gave the Explorer a head turning sleek look with a sporty sloping roofline and curves in all the right places.  The interior is fitted with very comfy seats front to rear and offers captain chairs for those parents who want to keep their kiddos at arm’s length.  For your entertainment and communications desires the Explorer comes with an 8-inch touchscreen or an available 10 incher that comes with the very user friendly Sync3 infotainment setup.  Other strong suits is the towing capacity, vast cargo space, gobs of driver assistant safety features and the Ford Explorer is just fun to drive and especially to be seen in.  

Bottom line, the Explorer covers all the bases in family hauling from running errands to hauling your boat to your favorite lake.  Remember holiday trips are just around the corner and wouldn't it be nice to arrive in a new Ford Explorer all rested and so ready to be hugged.  Thought so.

2021 Ford Bronco

Better watch out Wrangler as a Bronco is about to kick some dirt into to your grille.  Yes indeed, after 25 years of absence, the new 2021 Ford Bronco is back on the scene with a vengeance and so ready to take on the main competition in the “off-road” arena.  This new updated Bronco is a hit already with more than 125,000 orders waiting to be sent to its lucky owners. 

If you are somewhat interested, you need to hurry on down to see the friendly folks at Hixson Ford of Alexandria located at 2506 MacArthur Drive in Alexandria, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 318.448.0871 and just see if this new and exciting machine meets your expectations.  The bet is on that the Bronco will.

You and yours will discover that the new Bronco from Ford comes with either 2 doors or four.  The first-ever four-door has a standard soft top, but buyers can spec a rigid roof.  The two-door Bronco comes only with a hardtop.  Either way, the tops, doors, fender flares, and even the fenders are a snap to remove to make it look like the “beast” it plans to be.

The Bronco's frameless doors shrink the size and allow them to be stored in the cargo area.  Another thing that will grab your attention is its bold and aggressive styling showing off the Bronco's retro exterior with the flat no-nonsense surfaces, clear-cut edges, wide and assertive stance, especially large tires. A head jerker for sure. 

Powering the Ford Bronco off and on the beaten path is the standard feisty 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that kicks out 270 ponies and 310 lb-ft of “get-up and go” torque that has the power to surprise. If you desire more power, then also test drive the optional 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 that releases 310 anxious horses and an amazing 400 lb-ft of asphalt/dirt grabbing torque.  Both are paired with a smooth-shifting 10 speed automatic and a seven-speed manual can be had with the Bronco four banger for those who rather throw their own gears. 

Another plus is that the 2021 Ford Bronco comes with an affordable base price that makes it so desirable and assessable to many buyers who want to explore off the beaten path and also at the same time have a suitable daily driver.  It really can tackle just about any off-road adventure with its 11.6-inch ground clearance, optional 35-inch tires and a slew of factory-backed aftermarket accessories.

Inside the Bronco's cabin, the rugged theme continues adding modern high tech.  Seats are comfy, yet sturdy and will hold you in place as you roll over rough ground.  The 2021 Bronco represents a new and fresh beginning of off-roading for the Ford Motor Company and also the public.  No time like the present to find out why the Bronco is so popular.  You will not be disappointed.
