The new Ford Escape is shaking up the compact crossover market by providing a versatile and capable SUV that's great for any situation. Whether you're commuting to work or school in Fairfax, going camping down by Mason Neck, or taking a weekend in Washington, the 2021 Escape can get you there. Of course, with 4 trims to choose from, and options including four different engines, two-hybrid drivetrains, and six new packages, your choices can seem dizzying! Let's take a look at what the 2021 Ford Escape can do for you in this blog post. more 2021 Ford Escape S: Anything but Basic With ample seating for five passengers and an EPA-estimated 28 city/34 highway MPG, you don't have to compromise with an Escape S. Its 1.5L EcoBoostⓇ engine features Auto Start-Stop Technology that lowers fuel consumption by turning the engine off at stoplights and back on again as soon as your foot leaves the brake. The rotary gear shift dial and electric parking brake are simple and intuitive to use, and with Ford Co-Pilot360 built-in, you have more headspace to plan where you're going. New Escape SE: The Next Step in Escape A step ahead of the Escape S is the Ford Escape SE. This Ford's touchscreen infotainment system features the innovative SYNCⓇ 3 system, which allows you to stay connected to everything in your life while on the go. With the SYNC 3, you can order a pizza for the kids and their friends while driving them home from practice, and with the best-in-class second-row legroom of 40.7 inches in the Escape, they'll be comfortable the whole way there. Safety and Style Combine in the new Ford Escape SEL Ford has always been focused on the safety of its vehicles, and the 2021 Escape is no different. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System helps you keep your tires properly inflated, the Belt Minder system reminds your passengers to latch their safety belts, and the LATCH system for car seats keeps your little ones safe. If you do end up in a collision, the Safety Canopy System, dual-stage airbags, and SOS Post-Crash Alert System work in concert to keep you safe and get you the help you need quickly. The 2021 Escape SEL also features available halogen fog lamps for those misty drives through the Virginia countryside, and you'll stay comfortable while staying safe in the ActiveX™ seating material, standard on the SE Sport Appearance Package.

If you need a more active car for hauling a bike, tools, or sports equipment, or towing a couple of jet skis out to the Chesapeake Bay, you might be in the market for a crossover or SUV. However, you should give the 2022 Ford Maverick, now available for order from Ted Britt Ford in Fairfax, a look! The all-new Maverick is a hybrid compact pickup that’s sure to turn heads in Washington as well as work hard in Fountainhead. more Built Ford Tough in a Compact Frame With the 2022 Maverick, Ford is looking to capture the market for drivers who crave adventure without denting their wallets or sacrificing maneuverability. Most trucks on the market today are behemoths, hard to navigate in tight spots, and thirsty for gas. The new Ford Maverick starts at an affordable $21,490, with a standard hybrid drivetrain getting 40 mpg city, and as a compact truck, can easily squeeze through tight city streets. Ford has made sure not to sacrifice the strength for size, however. The new Maverick boasts a hybrid powertrain with a 2.5-L inline-four engine and electric motor on a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), producing 191 horsepower and able to tow 2000 pounds. If you need a bit more oomph, you can opt for the available non-hybrid turbocharged motor, with front- or all-wheel drive, 250 horsepower, and able to tow 4000 pounds. Surprisingly Roomy Interior When you get into the cabin of the Maverick, you’ll notice how much thought Ford put into the design of the space. The cabin seats five in two rows, with a fold-down rear seat and split armrests to make enough space to fit a mountain bike in the back. Ford has also built-in plenty of storage space for water bottles, sports equipment, tools, and more, with a storage bin under the backseat and a number of storage cubbies about the cabin. The real innovation in the Maverick’s cabin is the Ford Integrated Tether System or FITS. It’s a special slot in the back of the center console that can fit a variety of accessories, including ones you can 3D print yourself! Ford’s going to publish the dimensions of the FITS, so the feature will only be limited by your imagination. Ford Innovation in the Truck Bed The bed on this compact truck model from Ford is 4.5 feet long with the tailgate up, and 6 feet when it’s down. That means you’ll have plenty of space to stow bikes, lumber, camping equipment, and more back there. And with a max weight limit of 1500 pounds, plenty of tie-down hooks, and Fords’ Flexbed technology, you’ll be able to haul pretty much anything in this compact truck.
