Always Check Benna Ford’s Service Specials
It is pretty easy to look upon vehicle service maintenance as something to consider only when necessary. And if you keep up with scheduled maintenance and replace things when needed, your car should stay in good enough shape. But it is possible that you may be spending too much money. It is always a good idea to periodically check Benna Ford’s service specials to see if there is something you can take advantage of. Here are a couple of examples.
Low Price Tire Guarantee
Did you know that Benna Ford offers this? Until the end of the year, Benna Ford will beat any tire retailer’s price on any tire we carry. Just present a retailer’s advertised or website price on a tire of the same model in your size, and we will beat it. As the offer says, Why buy tires anywhere else? Benna carries 17 major tire brands and offers this price guarantee for 30 days at or after purchase.
Lifetime Brake Pad Guarantee
Normally brake pads are the type of thing that are not covered under warranty for the simple reason that they wear down by design. But with this Benna Ford special, there will be no cost for the replacement parts of any * Motorcraft® brake pads purchased since 7/1/14 or Omnicraft® brake pads purchased since 7/1/17. The pads must have been installed by a U.S. Ford Dealership, Lincoln Retailer, or Quick Lane® technician. Labor costs are not included, and coverage does not include Commercial delivery vehicles, taxis, limousines, postal, police, tow trucks, racing, and emergency vehicles. Talk to a Benna Ford service advisor for details.
Free Inspections
You can also have your starter battery inspected for free, which certainly can be a worthwhile endeavor before our Wisconsin / Minnesota winter returns. Your brakes can be inspected for free as well. And who doesn’t want to know that their brakes are in ideal condition? The inspection includes pads, caliper operation rotors, drums, if applicable, and hoses and connections and includes parking brake inspection as well.
All of the offers above are good until the end of the year, and there are additional specials available. It is entirely possible additional offers will be introduced throughout the year. So, whenever the thought of vehicle maintenance crosses your mind, access the Benna Ford Service & Parts Specials website page and see what other kinds of service offers may be useful to you.
If you are considering a new car, truck, or SUV, the good news is that our inventories are finally returning to a more normal level. The flip side is the Fed’s attempts to stem inflation from when inventory was low on everything was to raise interest rates. As of this writing, the average new car loan interest rate is 6.4%, and that is if you have a credit score of over 661.
But Benna Ford isn’t going to let those interest rates slow things down, so through the end of July, we are offering low-interest rates on many popular models. These interest rates vary by model, but all represent substantial savings for the duration of the loan. The best interest rate, of course, is 0.0% APR, and you will actually find that on select models of the recently redesigned Ford Escape on a 36-month loan.
Low APR Financing Puts Tuscany Custom Models in Reach
Not much over zero is 0.9% APR for the 2022 model year but still new Ford F-150 Lariats or XLTs with the Tuscany Black Ops treatment that includes custom features such as FOX 2.0 Performance Series Tuned Shocks, 20″ Stealth Black Tuscany Black Ops Wheels, Tuscany Suspension Lift, Black Ops Replacement Front Bumper with 40″ and 2 6″ LED Lights and so much more.
There is also 0.9% APR financing for the 2022 Tuscany FTX Package as well, with BDS Suspension System, Tuned Fox Performance Shocks, 20-inch Off-Road Wheels, Integrated Light Bar, and many more performance and aesthetic features. 0.9% APR financing over the course of the 60-month loan represents savings of between $13,500 to $14,881 for these Tuscany customized trucks.
You will find 3.9% financing on 2023 F-150 Lariat Black Ops models, and a F-150 XLT SuperCab and Crew Cab models. Even an amazing Mustang Mach-E GT AWD EV is available for 3.9% APR financing for a savings of $3,000.
All of these offers are good through the end of July, and the financing is through Ford Motor Credit. The interest rates are for well-qualified buyers. Check and see if you qualify, and then visit Benna Ford to see which vehicle on sale works for you.
It happens sometimes. Now that production has finally picked up, people are now getting the new Fords they have been waiting for, and with them came their trade-ins. As a consequence, Benna Ford now has a very large inventory of pre-owned trucks and SUVs that continues to grow. So we are doing what businesses do when they are overstocked and have to make room for even more stock. Benna Ford is having a big summer sale on pre-owned trucks and SUVs.
Thousands Marked Off But The Quality Checked Warranty Remains
The price markdowns are significant, ranging from $500 to $5000 depending on the vehicle as of this writing, with most prices being reduced between $2,000 and $3,500 on very popular models like recent model Ford F-150s, Dodge Ram 1500s, and Ford Edges and Escapes among others. There is an additional $500 off or $1000 trade assistance on all pre-owned vehicles priced at $9,999 or above. All of these offers are good through the end of July.
Most of the SUV and truck models are under 8 years old and have less than 80,000 miles behind them. That means they qualify for the Benna Ford Quality Checked 3-Month / 3,000-mile warranty. With a $100 deductible, the limited warranty covers the following areas:
- Engine
- Transmission/Transaxle
- Drive Axle
- Brakes
- Steering
- Electrical systems
- Air Conditioning/Climate Control systems
- Suspension
This not only means that you are covered for three months or 3000 miles, depending on which comes first, but that Benna Ford has extensively inspected all of these vehicles with the goal that your pre-owned purchase won’t be seeing the inside of our service bay in the near future, except hopefully for routine maintenance.
It Is Good to Buy from Benna
You will also have the benefit of purchasing from Benna Ford, which was voted DNT The Northland’s People’s Choice Awards 2020 for these categories:
- First Place: Best New Car Dealership
- First Place: Best Used Car Dealership
- First Place: Benna Ford Service For Best Oil Change.
If it seems like this summer would be much more enjoyable with a newer truck or SUV in your driveway, take a look at our pre-owned sales vehicles or come and visit Benna Ford for a closer look.
Big Savings On Big Toys at Benna Ford Toy Store
Now that summer is here, the Benna Ford Toy Store is offering thousands of dollars off your next specialty F-Series or Ranger pickup truck. You can save up to $14,000 on vehicles like the Limited Edition 2022 Ford F-150 Lariat FTX or Ops Packages by Tuscany, or over $9,000 off a new Ranger Roush Package truck. We are also offering $5,000 off a 2021 Ford F-150 Shelby SuperSnake 775 HP. We are offering $3,000 off a brand new, 2023 F-150 XLT Roush.
What is Benna Ford’s Toy Store? Simply put, it is specifically for our modified and aftermarket Ford trucks and cars, such as the F-150, Ranger, and Mustang. We currently have more than a dozen trucks with thousands of dollars off, with the possibility of up to $4,000 in Ford Conditional Rebates.
One of the joys of owning a car is making it your own, whether that be adding visual or performance modifications. This can get confusing, though. What happens when you buy a cold air intake from one company and a supercharger from another company? And who are you going to trust to do the work for your new vehicle? This can be very daunting and frustrating, especially if you have a budget you want to work with.
The Benna Toy Store offers custom vehicles from Shelby, Roush, Waldoch, and Tuscany Motor Co. by Fox Factory, and instead of trying to figure out who is going to build your next vehicle, we already have those vehicles at our dealership waiting for you to come check out and drive home. We take the fear out of dealing with aftermarket parts, service, and customization by building and modifying vehicles for you.
If you are looking for a vehicle in a specific color or with certain options that we don’t currently have at Benna Ford, we are happy to sit down with you and go through everything that you would like done to your next vehicle. Whether you are in the market for a new, pre-owned vehicle, or a customized truck or car, Benna Ford has what you need

What are the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport FAQs?
First things first, what are the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport FAQs? To name a few, these FAQs include the following: “How much does it cost? How many trim levels does it have? What are some of the best features and technology systems? Is it off-road capable?” Of course, our team at Benna Ford is more than happy to address all of these questions. Now, let’s begin with the most common question of all, “How much does it cost?”
The starting MSRP of the 2023 Bronco Sport is $29,215 for the Base model. Naturally, the higher the trim grade, the more it will cost. This leads us into the next question, “How many trim levels does it have?” For the 2023 model year, the Ford Bronco Sport has six total trim grades: Base, Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks, Badlands, and Heritage Limited. All of their respective MSRPs for the 2023 production year are as follows: $29,215, $31,230, $33,400, $35,615, $38,090, and $44,655.

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

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 Delivering 2023 Super Duty Trucks to Customers
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.

All-New 2024 Ranger Raptor Bursts Onto the Scene
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.
Give A Welcome to the Redesigned Ford Ranger
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 4×4 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.
The 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.
