Three Fords Worth Considering If You're Thinking About Fuel Costs
April is Earth Month, a perfect time to take a closer look at how your vehicle choices can impact both your wallet and the environment. Ford has spent the last few years building out a lineup that gives buyers better fuel efficiency without sacrificing capability.
At Columbia Ford, we often talk with customers who want better fuel efficiency without giving up utility. These three models in Ford's current lineup make that possible.
Maverick Hybrid: Truck Utility at Commuter Fuel Costs
The Maverick Hybrid is one of the most fuel-efficient trucks on the road, with city MPG numbers that stand out in its class. It's compact enough for everyday driving, the truck bed handles home projects and outdoor gear, and it has the lowest entry price of any truck on the market. Best of all, it maintains the lowest entry price of any truck on the market and delivers the utility you need without the high fuel costs traditionally associated with a pickup.
Ford F-150 PowerBoost: Hybrid Power Without Compromise
The Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid improves fuel consumption over a conventional gas engine without sacrificing towing capacity or performance on hills and uneven terrain. The Pro Power Onboard feature turns the truck into a mobile generator, adding utility that goes well beyond fuel savings. For anyone running equipment, working job sites, or dealing with New England weather and power outages, this is assurance that performance won’t suffer when unexpected conditions arise.
Mustang Mach-E: All-Electric Innovation
As one of the most popular Ford electric vehicles, the Mach-E boasts zero tailpipe emissions and no trips to the gas station. Available all-wheel drive handles winter conditions with ease, while instant torque makes highway merges and hill climbs effortless, and advanced driver-assist and connectivity features make it one of the most competitive vehicles in its class. With more charging stations available across Connecticut, including along major routes and in town centers, owning an electric vehicle has become more practical than ever.
Connecticut Incentives to Know Before you Buy
Electric vehicle buyers in Connecticut have access to financial incentives that can bring the cost of ownership down meaningfully. The CHEAPR (Connecticut Hydrogen and Electric Automobile Purchase Rebate) program provides state rebates on qualifying vehicles, federal tax credits may apply depending on the model and your tax situation, and local utility providers offer incentives on home charging equipment. It's worth reviewing all three before you finalize a purchase.
