At Randall Reed’s Prestige Ford, we already know that everything is bigger and better in Texas. That includes our drivers’ needs for sport utility vehicles. Demand for Ford SUVs continues to climb across the United States, but drivers from Dallas to Houston continue to show why the Lone Star State is so important to automakers’ SUV portfolios.
State Fair of Texas
It’s opening weekend at the State Fair of Texas and Ford is celebrating their SUV success and being the best-selling vehicle brand in Texas by unveiling four new special edition SUVs designed to give buyers a larger selection of options in the vehicles they already love.
“Texans love their SUVs and these four special-edition models were created very much with them in mind,” said Craig Patterson, large SUV marketing manager at Ford. “Each of these vehicles is a proof point that Ford takes seriously the need to continuously freshen an SUV lineup that is so popular with so many.”
All four new special-edition models shown at the State Fair of Texas will be available for order later this year. These models include:
- Expedition Stealth Edition features gloss-black accessories for a cool yet upscale appearance over the current Limited series. It rolls on 22-inch premium black-painted aluminum wheels and includes continuously controlled damping. Gloss-black features include grille, mirror caps, roof rails, running boards, tailgate appliqué, rear bumper skid plate and hitch cover, headlamp housing, fog lamp bezels and taillamp housing. Black “Expedition” badging adorns the front, while the tailgate features a black “Limited” badge. Door handles are body color, and red interior stitching accents the interior
-
Expedition Texas Edition adds 22-inch wheels and new Texas Edition badging to build upon the existing Special Edition Package available for Limited models that already offers a collection of features to make hauling, towing and parking easier. These include the Cargo Package, Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package and enhanced active park assist
- Explorer Limited Luxury Edition offers available appearance upgrades on the Limited series. Explorer owners can opt for 20-inch premium painted machined aluminum wheels, multi-contour seats with Active Motion®, Nirvana leather seats with micro-perforation, an upgraded leather steering wheel, door trim with leather inserts and chrome mirror caps
- Explorer Desert Copper Edition upgrades an XLT model to include 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, chrome mirror caps, Ebony Black leather-trimmed first- and second-row seats and door trim panel. The interior features copper highlights and stitching and Ebony Black vinyl third-row seats with copper accents
Ford looks to continue offering more of the vehicles that consumers say they want with its expanded lineup. More and more drivers are turning away from traditional sedans in favor of larger trucks and SUVs that offer more space, amenities and capability.
“People want SUVs, they’ve told us that,” Patterson said. “Whether an adventure-minded individual, a couple who needs room to haul home improvement supplies or a family loading up for a trip across the country, SUVs are in demand. Ford wants to have an SUV available that caters to any circumstance.”
