The Ford EcoSport: The Small SUV With Great Value
Did you know that the Ford EcoSport is the best value of any SUV sold in the Twin Ports area?
First off, its size is its advantage. You can park an EcoSport anywhere – along Tower Avenue in downtown Superior, at Miller Hill Mall, or in Canal Park. After all, it is just 161.3 inches long. The responsive steering system gives you tight turns to get into those spaces with ease.
While it is small outside, it is also big inside. You can seat up to five passengers. Your children will be happy and safe with great access to anchors for all types of child seats. Not to mention a generous 50 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat down. With the rear seats up, you have 20.9 cubic feet of room for groceries or plants.
The best thing about the EcoSport is the price. Benna Ford has them starting at under $23,000. At that price, you get a lot of value with extensive standard equipment and great versatility. During these tough economic times, you can actually save money in comparison to other SUVs in its class.
With the EcoSport, you can take advantage of some great financing deals. For example, with 0% financing for 84 months, you can get an EcoSport for under $300.00 a month with no money down. Benna Ford makes it easy to get pre-approved as well.
If you think the Ford EcoSport is the right vehicle for you, contact us at Benna Ford and arrange a test drive with us. It will be right at your doorstep before you know it.
Do you know why the Ford Ranger is the perfect mid-size pickup truck for the Twin Ports area?
First off, its size is its advantage. While they are considered “small,” the Ranger offers a lot of capacity for the class. With 310 pound-feet of torque from its turbocharged engine, the Ranger can haul up to 1,860 pounds of payload and tow up to 7,500 pounds.
Most importantly, the Ford Ranger has a global reputation for toughness. It has traversed the Australian outback, the jungles of Southeast Asia, the deserts of Namibia, and crossed the Andes. These tests mean one thing – the Ranger is right for our terrain in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota.
While it is a tough truck, it is also civilized inside. SuperCrew models can seat five passengers comfortably. Rangers offer the latest in SYNC 3 connectivity with onboard Wi-Fi and smartphone integration.
The best thing about the Ranger is the price. Benna Ford has them starting at under $30,000! At that price, you get a lot of value with extensive standard equipment and a choice of cab types – SuperCab or SuperCrew. During these tough economic times, you can actually save money in comparison to other pickup trucks in its class.
With the Ranger, you can take advantage of some great financing deals. For example, with 0% financing for 84 months, you can get a Ranger XL Crew Cab for around $405.00 a month with no money down.
If you think the Ford Ranger is the right truck for you, contact us at Benna Ford and arrange a test drive with us. We can also get you pre-approved for financing as well. A new Ford Ranger from Benna Ford can be right at your doorstep before you know it.
For 43 years, the Ford F-Series pickup truck remains the best-selling vehicle in this country.
This is a record that speaks volumes as to who we are in the Twin Ports area. We’re hard-working people. We’re on the front lines fighting this pandemic from the Emergency Room to the streets of our community. We’re helping to make sure we’re safe at home, productive at our essential job site, and giving ourselves a chance to take an essential break outside to exercise and enjoy the clean air above Lake Superior.
Without you, we would not offer such a great pickup truck that works and plays hard just as you do!
Every F-Series pickup truck Ford makes is a reflection of who we are. It is also the economic engine that drives our industry.
As Ford’s Chief Operating Officer Jim Farley pointed out recently, the F-Series pickup alone generates a global revenue of around $50 Billion. That is more than American Express, Cisco Systems, Coca-Cola, and Delta Airlines. We know some of F-Series pickup truck owners who work for Delta at their facilities and airports across Minnesota and Wisconsin, including down at their facilities in and near Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Because of our commitment to our customers, Ford’s employees are going back to work. They were back building the best-selling line of pickup trucks at our assembly plants across America.
While the assembly lines are opening up again to build F-Series pickup trucks, Benna Ford remains open to serve you with your new and used F-Series pickup truck needs. Our service department is ready to assist you to get your pickup truck road-ready when it is time to get back to work.

Combined with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, it can lay down some serious grip all year round. The Explorer ST has been rated with a top speed of 143 MPH – something you could try to achieve at Brainerd International Raceway.
While it is powerful, it can still haul groceries, your weekly run to the home improvement center or any store. The Explorer ST has up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the second- and third-row seats down. It is also worth mentioning that you can seat up to six people comfortably inside of the Explorer ST.

F-150, Mustang Most Dependable Vehicles – J.D. Power
Dependability is designed into every Ford we sell. You see them all over the Twin Ports area, commuting on our bridges and highways, plowing our parking lots, protecting our communities, and putting smiles on our faces.
We were happy to hear that Ford took two J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study awards for two of our most popular and iconic vehicles — the F-150 pickup truck and the Mustang.
The 2020 J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study measures problems experienced during the past 12 months by original owners of three-year old, model year vehicles. Therefore, we were happy to hear that owners of 2017 F-150s and Mustangs found their vehicles have provided them with loyal service and operation throughout these past few years.
It’s not just these two models that are class leaders in this latest study by J.D. Power. Among non-premium brands, Ford is now fifth overall in brand-wide dependability. One of the reasons cited by J.D. Power has been the improvements made on the SYNC 3 infotainment system, adding to the dependability expected in a Ford today.
This study is also a great indicator on how well these vehicles will stand up over time. They also add to resale value, as well. This is why both the F-150 and Mustang are best-sellers in each class – the F-150 continues to be the sales leader among pickup trucks in its 43rd year.
Dependability is a long-term trait of a vehicle. Check out our lineup of great cars, trucks, and SUVs at Benna Ford to see why they are so dependable. Test drive one today!
If one name is synonymous with off-roading excellence – that name is Ford.
This year, Ford will be the official vehicle of the King of The Hammers, ULTRA4 series – one of the most difficult, most extreme off-road competitions in the world combining high-speed desert racing with low-speed rock crawling.
This is a great connection between these hardcore off-road races and Ford, as we offer the most rugged lineup of great trucks and SUVs designed to go off-highway deep into the woods.
The season began with the King of The Hammers race in Johnson Valley, California on February 8. A lineup of 450 teams set off to tackle one of the toughest off-road races in this country. This included several teams of Ford vehicles in various classes.
Johnson Valley is a significant location for Ford as well. This is where Ford has been testing the upcoming 2021 Bronco.
While we await the arrival of the new Bronco, Ford has a growing lineup of rough and ready vehicles made for your outdoors lifestyle. The F-150 Raptor was designed to tackle anything, including the grueling desert races on the Baja California peninsula. The new F-Series Super Duty Tremor adds more grit and grip to our largest pickup trucks we offer. The Ranger pickup with the FX4 Off-Road package fits where most vehicles won’t and plays just as hard as they do.
You can check out the ULTRA4 series when it comes to Crandon, Wisconsin for the Crandon Spring Race, running from June 18 to 21.
In the meantime, check out our off-road capable machines at Benna Ford. Test drive one and become your own King Of The Hammers. You can also add some great accessories from Ford Performance from our parts department, too!
The return of the Ford Escape Hybrid is a welcomed sight at Benna Ford. The Escape was the first hybrid small SUV. For 2020, the hybrid system returns giving you the option of not only saving fuel but driving with lower emissions for a cleaner environment around the Twin Ports.
And, now, the Escape Hybrid has returned as the fuel economy leader among small SUVs.
The EPA has estimated the Escape Hybrid’s fuel economy ratings as 44 MPG in the city, 37 MPG on the highway, and 41 MPG combined. These figures are greater than any of the newest small hybrid SUVs on the market.
Also, the 2020 Escape Hybrid has a maximum range of 582 miles. You can drive from Superior to Chicago with a quarter tank left.
The new Ford Escape Hybrid is also designed to help you achieve better results while you’re driving. It is now equipped with an EV coach, giving you feedback on your braking while sending energy back to the battery. You get a message in the instrumentation screen telling you how much energy you recovered after making a stop. The Eco mode has been enhanced to work with both the gasoline engine, electric motor, and the new continuously variable transmission to make the driving experience more efficient over the miles.
The Escape Hybrid is also efficiently designed. Most hybrids have their battery located to eliminate precious passenger and cargo space. The liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack is positioned below the second row seats to allow for maximum space for everyone – and everything.
If the 2020 Escape Hybrid is your solution to save money on fuel and to contribute to cleaning up the air in the Twin Ports area, come to Benna Ford and test drive one today!
Winching Your Way in a 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty
Have you ever pulled anyone out of a ditch or a huge drift of snow?
This is a part of our lives here in Northern Wisconsin and along the North Shore. We help each other out. Our favorite tool for rescuing our neighbors is a winch.
It is one thing to have a winch. They are handy tools to help those get out of trouble. There is one more tool that helps a winch do its job – the vehicle.
You need all of the power and strength to get a winch to do its job. That is why Ford and Warn came together to create an integrated electric winch for the powerful 2020 F-Series Super Duty Tremor pickup truck.
The new Ford Performance Parts winch by Warn comes with 12,000 pounds of winching power and will be available as a factory-orderable option or dealer-installed after-sale accessory for both gas and diesel-powered Super Duty Tremor pickups.
Developed with both crash safety and capability top of mind, the fully integrated winch is mounted behind the steel bumper, providing optimized airflow and clearance regardless of engine choice. Customers who select the winch can rely on high-tensile strength, abrasion-resistant synthetic cable to drag almost any rig out of the muck or over an obstacle, or to move trail-clogging barricades like fallen trees. It includes the only wireless remote control in its class along with a provision for wired remote control.
The Ford Performance Parts winch by Warn will be available through Benna Ford starting in mid-2020 for $3,000 MSRP. You can add this to your new 2020 F-Series Super Duty or order it from our Parts Department as an after-sale accessory.
Beyond the winch, the 2020 F-Series Super Duty with the Tremor Off-Road Package has maximum towing of 15,000 pounds for conventional trailers and up to 21,900 pounds for gooseneck trailers with the available diesel. It also has up to 4,210 pounds maximum payload capacity with the all-new available 7.3-liter gas engine. This is the power and capability you need to help rescue your neighbor of a stranger somewhere along the way.
The Tremor Off-Road Package is available for XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks with available all-new 7.3-liter gas V8 or third-generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke® diesel V8.
Benna Ford can set you up with the best rescue rig available in the Twin Ports area. Stop by and test drive a 2020 F-Series Super Duty pickup and feel the power!
Winter is not over yet. Not even a groundhog could predict what the next month or so will bring to the Twin Ports.
How do you combat the next snow storm? Get a 2020 Ford F-Series and order it with the available Snow Plow Prep Package!
If your 2020 F-Series Super Duty has the new available 7.3-liter V8 engine and four-wheel drive, you can plow up to 1,400 pounds worth of the white stuff with the Snow Plow Prep Package. Power Stroke diesel versions can plow up to 1,290 pounds. Both of these ratings are best in the heavy duty pickup truck segment.
The package also includes heavy duty springs, an up-rated alternator. Both are necessary to handle these heavy duty snow jobs you will encounter, especially the extra electrical power the plow and auxiliary lights will need to get the job done. You can choose between white or amber LED strobe lights.
To make sure you’re working through another bad snow storm, your 2020 F-Series Super Duty can be equipped with an available windshield wiper de-icer, heated steering wheel, front and rear seats. That way, you stay warm and keep a clear vision the next time you have plow the parking lot.
Of course, your choice of power underneath the hood will also help making the job of plowing snow easier. The Power Stroke 6.7-liter V8 turbo diesel has 1,050 pound-feet of torque to move that 1,290 pounds of snow out of the way. The new 7.3-liter gasoline V8 is no slouch either, with 475 pound-feet of torque for the job. You could plow with the standard 6.2-liter V8, as well. All engines are connected to the 10-speed heavy duty TorqShift automatic transmission, featuring a special drive mode for added control in snowy or slick conditions.
At Benna Ford in Superior, we want you to get the job done right. Come see us about equipping your 2020 F-Series Super Duty with the available Snow Plow Prep Package. Test drive one of bold, hard-working heavy duty pickup trucks today!
