Benna Ford is happy to announce that Ford Motor Company has reached an agreement with Tesla Motors that will give Ford electric vehicle customers access to more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. and Canada starting in the Spring of 2024.  This more than doubles the number of fast chargers available to Ford EV customers.  For Ford electric vehicle owners in the Benna Ford area, this gives access to four Tesla superchargers in Wisconsin and over a dozen and a half in central and eastern Minnesota. “This is great news for our customers who will have unprecedented access to the largest network of fast-chargers in the U.S. and Canada with 12,000+ Tesla Superchargers plus 10,000+ fast-chargers already in the BlueOval Charge Network,” said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO. “Widespread access to fast-charging is absolutely vital to our growth as an EV brand, and this breakthrough agreement comes as we are ramping up production of our popular Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, and preparing to launch a series of next-generation EVs starting in 2025.” Added Rebecca Tinucci, Tesla’s senior director of charging infrastructure: “We’ve spent the last 10 years building an industry-leading Charging Network that enables freedom to travel and provides charging confidence for our Tesla owners. We’re excited to deliver on our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy by welcoming Ford owners, and other electric vehicles who adopt NACS, to our thousands of Superchargers across North America.” An Adapter Will Enable the Connection A Mustang Mach-E at at Tesla charging station. Current Ford F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, and E-Transit owners will be able to use the Tesla chargers with an adapter fitting between the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector and the Combined Charging System (CCS) port. Starting in 2025, Ford battery electric vehicles will be equipped with the NACS charge port, removing the need for an adapter. “Tesla has led the industry in creating a large, reliable, and efficient charging system and we are pleased to be able to join forces in a way that benefits customers and overall EV adoption,” said Marin Gjaja, chief customer officer, Ford Model e. “The Tesla Supercharger network has excellent reliability and the NACS plug is smaller and lighter.  Overall, this provides a superior experience for customers.” The Nation’s Largest Fast-Charging Network With over 84,000 chargers, including over 10,000 public DC fast-chargers, the BlueOval Charge Network is already North America’s largest public charging network. The addition of more than 12,000 Tesla Superchargers creates the single largest integrated fast-charge network across the U.S. and Canada. As with the BlueOval network, customers will be able to pay at the Tesla Superchargers with activation and payment via FordPass or Ford Pro Intelligence. Ford dealers are also adding roughly 1,800 public-facing fast-chargers and locations to the BlueOval Charge Network by mid-2024. This provides an even more compelling reason to visit Benna Ford and test drive a Ford electric vehicle like the capable Ford F-150 Lightning, thrilling Mustang Mach-E, and efficient E-Transit.

Ford is now delivering orders for 2023 Super Duty trucks to retail and commercial customers.  A delay occurred due to a $700 million investment at the Louisville, Kentucky truck plant and Ohio assembly plant as part of its zero-Defect Launch Process. The 2023 truck is described by Ford as the most powerful and connected Super Duty ever. “The all-new 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty is the tough-tested icon that our customers trust. Said Ted Cannis, Ford Pro CEO “It is the smartest and most capable truck we’ve ever built offering must-have towing tech, embedded 5G capability, over-the-air updates plus an entire suite of available Ford Pro Intelligence solutions to help maximize uptime and accelerate productivity. And of course, its best-in-class payload and towing, more than any of our competitors, means this truck can take on any job.” Extensively Strengthened Quality Process Close to 11,000 UAW workers contribute to building a Super Duty, with over 9,000 at the Kentucky plant and an additional 1,800 at the Ohio plant.  The $700 million investments added 500 jobs to the Kentucky plant. As part of the quality improvement process, Production-ready models underwent exhaustive real-world road testing with a particular focus on high mileage tests to meet the demands of Ford Pro commercial customers.  Ford also tripled the number of trucks used in trailer tow testing and nearly quadrupled the count for Built Ford Tough durability testing, providing additional quality data points compared to previous launches. “Never before have I seen teams come together like they have for this Super Duty launch”. Said Super Duty Chief Engineer, Andrew Kernahan. “We are looking to exceed our customers’ expectations with Super Duty and that requires making sure every employee feels empowered to speak up when there are issues.” Ford also greatly increased the number of quality checks along the assembly line. Once complete, every Super Duty is driven 25 miles by a Ford employee as an additional quality check to help identify issues before delivery. “We know Super Duty customers; they push their trucks to the limits,” said Kernahan, “There’s nothing that compares to putting vehicles out into the real world to see how they perform, so we tested Super Duty beyond its limits.” Choose From Powerful, More Powerful, or Way More Powerful The Super Duty is available with a choice of two gas or two diesel engines. The newest power plant is the 6.8-liter 2V DEVCT PFI Gas V8. This replacement for the previous flex-fuel engine produces 405 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. The 7.3-liter OHV PFI engine is the most powerful gas V8 in its class, with 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque.  If greater torque is what you need, look to the two 6.7-liter turbo diesel V8s starting with the Power Stroke producing 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque and topping out with the  High Output Power Stroke producing a class-leading 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft. Powerfully Connected and Versatile Listening to customers has led the Super-Duty to be Ford’s most connected truck ever, starting with being the first pickup in the U.S. with embedded 5G capability. The Qualcomm 5G modem can provide a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices to keep workers connected while on the job site.  For those who convert their SuperDutys, the new Ford Pro Upfit Integration System is designed for customers to simplify upfits. “Whether it is mining, emergency response, utility services, or towing a boat, Super Duty is the tool for that gets the job done, and we know our customers are thrilled that it is coming,” said Cannis. The 2023 Ford Super Duty has not arrived at Benna Ford as of this writing, but we are all looking forward to when it does later this summer.  If you are interested in the 2023 Super Duty, contact one of our Benna Ford Sales professionals for updated timing on their arrival.

This is a blog entry Benna Ford has been eagerly waiting to post. Ford announces the arrival of the Ranger Raptor. The F-150 Raptor has been quite a success, but bigger isn’t always better off-road. So, with the knowledge that a new mid-size Ranger was coming, many have hoped there would be a mid-size Raptor as well. They will not be disappointed. The 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor ® will be the most powerful, high-performance, and off-road capable Ranger ever. It has been designed and engineered by Ford Performance to take off-road capability to the next level among midsize trucks. And it has already proved itself. A pre-production Ranger Raptor won the stock midclass category of the Baja 1000, completing the course in 26 hours and 21 minutes. It was then in fine shape to be driven 200 miles back home to California. Serious Suspension, Choice Chassis It all starts with the suspension, which is purpose-built for the Ranger Raptor. The basic geometry has aluminum upper and lower control arms in the front and a long-travel Watts linkage with trailing arms for the rear. Next-generation FOX™ 2.5-inch Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks are coil-overs at the front with piggyback reservoirs at the rear for reduced heat build-up to enable uninterrupted day-long performance. The Raptor takes the Ranger’s already robust fully boxed frame and adds reinforcements for the front frame rails, front shock towers, rear shock brackets, suspension mounting points, and other key points so you don’t have to baby it when the ground gets rough.  For the tricky slow-moving parts, Ranger Raptor also comes with Trail Control™, so drivers can navigate tricky spots while the truck manages the throttle and brakes to keep a steady speed.  It is also equipped with both a 360-Degree and Front View Camera to give you sight beyond your driving position. The Ranger Raptor is versatile, with adjustments to coincide with the immediate task on-hand, starting with the switchable drive modes of Normal, Tow/Haul, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja. Each drive mode appropriately adjusts the FOX™ Live Valve Internal Bypass system damping, throttle response, transmission logic, ABS calibration, traction control, and steering assist, and even determines the appearance and provided information on the instrument cluster and touchscreen. The Raptor’s active valve exhaust system can also be tuned to several modes, including Quiet, Normal, Sport, and Baja. For the Power Hungry Power comes from a Ford Performance-tuned twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost ® V6 producing a class-leading 405 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque. It easily makes the Raptor the most powerful Ranger, with plenty of power on hand for the gravel, dirt, mud, and sand. The engine includes a race-bred anti-turbo-lag system so that when Baja mode is selected, the turbochargers remain spinning for up to three seconds after the throttle is reduced, such as when coming into a corner so that on-demand acceleration is on-hand for the corner exit. All that horsepower and torque is channeled through a 10-speed SelectShift ® automatic transmission and then to an advanced four-wheel drive system complete with a new electronically controlled on-demand two-speed transfer case and both front and rear locking differentials. It all meets the ground with 33-inch BFGoodrich ® all-terrain KO3 ® tires on 17-inch wheels. The tires can also be mounted to optional beadlock-capable wheels for running extra low tire pressures in the sand and rocky conditions. Protecting the Ranger Raptor’s belly is a thick front high-strength steel skid plate with additional shields for the engine, transfer case, and fuel tank. Interior Stays on Purpose The Raptor’s interior is equally purpose-built with well-bolstered Ford Performance front seats to hold drivers in place during high-speed cornering and single-side bumps. The sport steering wheel has a signature Raptor Code Orange centering mark. Code Orange trim can be found throughout the cabin. Just behind the tiller are cast magnesium alloy paddle shifters for quick transmission control. Six overhead upfitter switches are mounted in the overhead console, ready to connect to aftermarket lights, winches, or other off-road hardware. The driver also has at their command an array of technology to facilitate the Raptor’s off-road duty, including the previously mentioned cameras, Zone Lighting helps bring night visibility to remote locations, and class-exclusive* Pro Trailer Backup Assist to ease reversing with a trailer in tow. The Raptor is designed to be an on-pavement companion as well with a high-resolution 12.4-inch digital driver’s instrument cluster and a 12-inch center touchscreen. Operating the screen and all infotainment functions is Ford’s SYNC ® 4A system, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay ® and Android Auto™ connectivity so your phone can be secure when things get bumpy. Helping set the proper mood on the way to and from the off-road playground is a Bang & Olufsen ® sound system. If this sounds like the truck you’ve been waiting for, the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor will be making its way from its Wayne, Michigan Assembly Plant to Benna Ford around late summer. Pre-orders are being taken now, so contact one of our Beena Ford sales professionals for more information.

The new Ranger is completely redesigned with a new exterior, interior, new engine, and for the first time, a Ranger Raptor. This will be the first redesigned Ranger since the model returned to the U.S. in 2019 after an 8-year hiatus. The Ranger is a global model sold in 180 markets around the world. In many of them, it has the same bedrock status the F-150 has in the U.S. The first new Rangers can expect to arrive in the Benna Ford showroom in late summer. Completing the Only 3-Pickup Model Lineup in the U.S. Once Ford’s small pickup, the Ranger now fits squarely between the top-selling F-150 and the hot new compact Maverick hybrid. The new Ranger is now longer and wider with a two-inch longer wheelbase and two inches added to the track, which also leads to a wider bed. Both 4- and 6-Cylinder Turbocharged Engines The base engine will be the 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost inline-4 producing 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Unlike competitors from GM and Toyota, the Ranger will also offer the smooth power delivery of a V6 engine. with the available 2.7-liter, EcoBoost V6 currently found in the F-150 and Bronco. The engine will produce 315 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Regardless of engine choice, all Rangers will have a class-exclusive 10-speed SelectShift transmission ensuring the engine is at the optimal rpm in all conditions. All trims will be available with an electronic shift-on-the-fly 4x4 system built for immediate on-demand off-road and low traction capability. All models will be configured with the 4-door crew cab and a 5-foot bed and continue to feature a full-box steel frame. The rear shocks and shock mounts have been moved outboard of the frame rails for improved ride and control. All new Rangers will benefit from improved ground clearance and better approach and departure angles. The model will have a towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds and a maximum available payload capacity of 1,805 pounds. Redesigned Interior Includes Several New Features The completely redesigned instrument panel will include a digital instrument cluster for all models. The standard cluster will be 8 inches, with 12.4 inches as an option. The 10.1-inch center touchscreen is best-in-class for standard displays, and a 12-inch display is available. Ford’s SYNC ® 4A  system will power the infotainment interface and will include a standard 4G LTE modem, wireless phone mirroring, and the ability to receive over-the-air software updates. T he interior includes clever storage and useful features such as an available wireless charger, a large center console storage bin, big door pockets, and even an available second upper glove box.  Rear cabin storage is also enhanced with under-seat rear cargo bins and fold-flat rear seatbacks for moving large objects you want to be secured inside. There is additional room behind the seats for tools and other equipment. Though Bluecruise is not available, Ranger still has the most available driver-assist features in its class. These include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and BLIS ® with Trailer Coverage, which warns of vehicles in blind spots while towing. The Lariat features a short-throw E-shifter that enables features such as the available Active Park Assist 2.0, a fully-automated system to assist with parallel and perpendicular parking in tight spots. Other towing features include Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Trailer Reverse Guidance, which uses cameras to show angles surrounding the truck and provides real-time coaching on how to maneuver the trailer. Introducing the Ranger Raptor The completely new Range Raptor will come exclusively with a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 and, like the Bronco and F-150 Raptor models, will include an advanced four-wheel drive system, a new electronically controlled on-demand two-speed transfer case, and front and rear locking differentials for improved off-road traction. Other Raptor features include a Fox Live Valve Internal Bypass System that changes damping performance based on seven drive modes that include normal, tow/haul, sport, slippery, off-road, rock crawl, and Baja. It has a long-travel suspension with aluminum upper and lower control arms up front and a rear Watt’s linkage with trailing arms. “Ranger Raptor is the high-performance off-road truck so many customers have been begging for. It’s right-sized for tight trails and daily life, can carry lots of gear, and is a blast to drive flat out,” Carl Widmann, Ford Performance chief engineer, said in a statement. “Ranger Raptor is fast, comfortable, and packed with top-shelf, purposeful technology that’s designed to perform. This is the baddest Ranger we’ve ever made.” Orders can now be taken at Benna Ford for all 2024 Rangers, with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost and Raptor models arriving in late summer and 2.7-liter EcoBoost models becoming available in the late fall.

This makes long-distance drives more enjoyable and reduces driver fatigue. Therefore, Ford is setting a new standard for convenience and safety in the EV market. Lower pricing: Ford is introducing lower pricing options for the Mach-E, in addition to the enhanced range and hands-free technology. The aim is to make electric mobility accessible to a broader range of consumers.

What is new and exciting about the 2023 Ford Maverick versus its previous model? There is so much that has changed! Here at Benna Ford, we are excited to spread the news about the upgrades to the Ford Maverick. From the interior and exterior, to what's under the hood, the Ford Brand has certainly created a buzz around this affordable sporty pickup. When designing the 2023 Ford Maverick, there was only efficiency and innovation in mind. What Has Really Changed? When you break it down, the Ford Maverick is designed differently in four main categories; Exterior, interior, mechanical, and the packages offered. Let's take a deeper dive into these four areas to check out the exciting new changes. Exterior - The colors Rapid Red and Velocity Blue, exterior colors from the previous year, are discontinued to make way for the two new exterior colors. The 2023 Ford Maverick now comes in an Avalanche Gray and Atlas Blue Metallic. Interior - Inside, you will see that there is a soft vinyl-wrapped steering wheel that comes standard on the Lariat trim and on the XLT trim with the optional Luxury Package. The XL and XLT without the Luxury Package come with a urethane steering wheel. The 2022 Maverick had a leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel on XLT trim with Luxury Package and on Lariat trim. Cruise control is standard on the 2023 Maverick XL trim, while it was standard on the XLT and Lariat trims in previous years but not available on the XL trim. The 2023 Maverick Lariat Luxury Package also includes SYNC 3 as part of the optional package, while it was unavailable for the 2022 model year. Mechanical - The 2023 Maverick powertrain lineup stays the same as in 2022, with a standard 2.5L I4 gasoline hybrid engine that generates 191 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. The Maverick XL and XLT trims feature this engine. The optional 2.0L I4 EcoBoost engine comes with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, offering 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. This engine is available on all three trim levels. Furthermore, several functional features, such as bed tie-down locking rails, spray-in bedliner, and hard drop-in bedliner, are now available as standalone options instead of being included in a package. For XLT and Lariat trims, the remote start system is also available as a standalone option, having previously been included only in the XLT Luxury and Lariat Luxury packages. Packages - There have been significant changes to the Mavericks package lineup. The Tremor Off-Road Package is the highlight of these changes and can be added to Maverick XLT and Maverick Lariat trims for an extra $2,995. This package includes strong off-road suspension, Trail Control, front skid plates, and Advanced 4WD, as well as selectable Drive Modes for different driving conditions. The Tremor Package also has exterior features like a redesigned front bumper, unique grille, and 17-inch Machined-face Tarnished Dark Aluminum wheels with Orange painted pockets. The Tremor Orange theme is carried to the vehicle's interior, which features Black Onyx seats with Tremor Orange stitching and logos. The Tremor Appearance Package and the Black Appearance Package are also available options.

Ford Performance have proven time and time again that they can take any vehicle and make it the absolute best of the road, track, and off-road. And, once again, the Ford Bronco took a clean 1-2-3 finish at the recent King of the Hammers off-road competition in the Ultra4 4600 Stock Class. Oh, by the way, they did the exact same thing at the same race in the same class last year. So, two years in a row, Bronco absolutely dominated. You may be asking at this point, what is the King of the Hammers? To put it simply, it’s an off-road race that’s held every year that puts vehicles through both high-speed desert racing and intense rock crawling.

With the rise in demand for clean energy and renewable resources, a new industrial revolution has begun. We here at Benna Ford, along with the majority of the automotive industry, have returned with renewed enthusiasm for the evolution, enhancement, and more efficient manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Despite the recent rise in popularity and the increasing need for EVs, the lack of charging infrastructure in the United States is hindering widespread adoption. A Need for Counteraction The need for EVs is becoming more pressing in order to counteract the impact of fossil fuel-based transportation on the environment. The transportation sector is responsible for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. By switching to EVs, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint and help mitigate the effects of climate change. Additionally, EVs are becoming the more fiscally responsible option. Not only do they have lower operating costs and require less maintenance than traditional vehicles, but the cost of batteries is now also decreasing, making EVs more affordable for the general public. Lighting Up Liverpool Despite these benefits, the lack of charging infrastructure remains a significant barrier for users across the country, particularly in rural areas. There are not enough charging stations to meet the needs of EV drivers, and some charging stations are only compatible with certain types of EVs. A company called Ubitricity, a recent addition to the Shell group, has taken steps to eliminate this impediment in Liverpool, UK. Working brilliantly with the existing city infrastructure, Ubitricity has used the city's lampposts for over 6000 charging points in London and plans to add 300 to Liverpool. Increasing Coordination Perhaps we can take a page from their book here in the US in our efforts to make EVs more mainstream. It would take the collaboration and coordination of all potential stakeholders as well as continuity across all brands. Local governments, utility companies, and private businesses will need to work together to provide incentives and funding, improve standardization, and increase coordination. With these solutions, we can ensure that EVs become a viable and practical alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. A Mighty Ambition The ambition of this might may seem too great a task, but in human history, seemingly insurmountable heights have been surpassed again and again. When people unite over a common goal, next to nothing is beyond our reach. At Benna Ford, we believe wholeheartedly in the power of the human spirit and know that if we come together on this, the impossible will become possible yet again.
