Borgman Ford is pleased to share that the first two episodes of "Bring Back Bronco" are now live wherever you listen to podcasts! Whether you're a lifelong Ford Bronco fan or you're just now getting acquainted ahead of its triumphant return, this 8-part podcast will follow the history of the Ford Bronco, starting with its introduction in the 1960s, hiatus in the 1990s, and the team dedicated to bringing it back referred to as the Bronco Underground. more Read More You can find these two episodes wherever you listen to podcasts, and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss the other six! Below, we've included some excerpts from a post on the Official Ford Media Center detailing what this podcast series is about. Enjoy! Ford’s New Podcast, “Bring Back Bronco: The Untold Story,” Breaks New Ground As Bronco Mania Swells On August 10, Ford debuted Bring Back Bronco, an eight-episode podcast series about the history of the Ford Bronco. Listeners can click here to listen to the trailer and sign up for notifications on their preferred podcast app when each new episode debuts. Hosted by former National Public Radio transportation and economics correspondent Sonari Glinton, Bring Back Bronco takes a journalistic approach to telling the story of Bronco – from the birth of the iconic SUV, its life until it was canceled in 1996, a notorious police chase in 1994, and the efforts of dedicated Ford employees to bring back a family of Bronco vehicles this year. It is the most comprehensive audio story of this uniquely American SUV. "The Bronco is an iconic vehicle, with an unusual history of twists and turns, ascents and descents,” said Ford Chief Communications Officer Mark Truby. “It demands a fresh storytelling approach to shed light on what makes it special and so compelling to its huge fan base, as well as for new fans who will discover the rich history along with the new Broncos." The narrative of Bronco runs in parallel to seismic shifts in American car culture, social politics and the transformation of Detroit, all of which is illuminated by Glinton and guest story-teller and Detroit history expert Bailey Sisoy-Moore, as well as the people inside and outside Ford who have been part of Bronco’s history and rebirth in 2020. “The Bronco is on a very short list of American vehicles that provide a true lens through which you can view the changes in the fabric of America,” said Truby.

With West Michigan going back to work, Borgman Ford is proud to introduce the 2021 Ford F-150! Available later this year in the fall, the New F-150 comes complete with a fresh new look, even more technology to help you stay connected, and a host of improvements that raise the bar even higher for all other light duty pickups. more Read More It targets the most towing, payload, torque and horsepower of any light-duty full-size pickup and introduces all-new features to increase productivity. It also has new connected vehicle innovations such as over-the-air updates that help keep F-150 at the forefront of purposeful technology, and even an available all-new 3.5-liter PowerBoost hybrid powertrain with Pro Power Onboard – an integrated power generator. This is perfect for running power tools, air compressors, lights for camping, or anything else that needs electricity on the go. The all-new F-150 all begins with the same durable, proven foundation businesses have been depending on for years: a fully boxed high-strength steel frame with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body. However, Ford has added some enhancements to make this model the most aerodynamic F-150 ever. New active grille shutters, an automatic active air dam, and new geometry all work together to reduce drag and improve the truck's fuel economy. There are also subtle changes in the cab and tailgate of the New F-150 made with contractors or busy professionals in mind. The new optional Interior Work Surface is ideal for signing documents, working on a 15-inch laptop, or eating a meal (when the truck is parked of course!) Every 2021 F-150 also comes standard with new cleats mounted to the sides of the tailgate to act as tie-down locations for extra-long items in the bed. New clamp pockets are built into the tailgate, so customers can hold materials down for precision work. An available flat Tailgate Work Surface also includes integrated rulers, a mobile device holder, a cup holder, and a pencil holder. “We see it as our duty to deliver not just what our customers want and need, but what they might have never thought possible,” said Craig Schmatz, Ford F-150 chief engineer. “The F-150 will be tougher than ever, and with fully connected over-the-air updates, it opens up a much wider range of potential enhancements – from system upgrades to feature offerings.” There are many other features too, and you can read the full reveal of the 2021 Ford F-150 by visiting Media.Ford.com.

Summer is here in West Michigan, and if you're trying to decide which SUV is the best fit for your adventures, this month Borgman is taking a look at three leaders in the SUV market. Read on as we compare the 2020 Ford Explorer, the 2020 Chevy Traverse, and the 2020 Honda Pilot to help you make the best decision for you or your family. See how the 2020 Ford Explorer stacks up and if you'd like to test drive one, check out our huge selection and get in touch with us today! We'd be happy to help. more Read More While these three vehicles are similar in a lot of ways, we feel the 2020 Explorer has some key advantages over the others for West Michigan adventurers. These include a better towing capacity, selectable drive modes for different terrain, and adaptive cruise control for long road trips. Let's take a look at how the different SUVs compare below: Engine Options, Fuel Efficiency, and Towing Under the hood of the 2020 Ford Explorer, you'll find a number of different engine options to choose from - each suited to a different style of adventuring. The most common engine is the 2.3L I4 EcoBoost, which balances the responsiveness of a turbo with increased efficiency. For hauling a trailer or heading off the beaten path, the Explorer Platinum or Explorer ST models come with a turbocharged 3.0L V6, with the latter producing up to 400 horsepower. Here's where it gets really interesting: for 2020 the Ford Explorer returns to its roots with Rear-Wheel Drive, with All-Wheel drive as an available option. While the other two SUVs also feature AWD options, they are both Front-Wheel Drive standard. If cruising around town or down the highway is more your speed, and you'd like to save on fuel, the Explorer also comes as a hybrid with a 3.3L V6 engine and a combined rating of 25mpg, compared with the 23mpg of the I4 with all-wheel drive. In addition, the 2020 Ford Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds when properly equipped, with towing and trailer sway control coming standard with the 3.0L EcoBoost.The 2020 Chevrolet Traverse features just the one engine, though it's nothing to sneeze at. The Chevy 3.6L V6 produces 310 horsepower, just squeaking out the Explorer and with comparable fuel efficiency ratings. However, towing is where the Traverse powertrain falls short: about 600 pounds short in fact, with a rating of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. The Honda Pilot also features one engine: a 3.5L V6. Though being close to the Chevy in terms of displacement, the Honda engine produces a mere 280 horsepower and 3,500 towing capacity, though that number climbs to 5,000 with the AWD model. In terms of fuel-efficiency, the Honda Pilot is lock-step with the other two: 23 mpg combined. Interior Features The 2020 Ford Explorer interior has seen some dramatic changes for the new model year, and they are some of the most high-tech Ford has shown to date. Ford SYNC 3 permeates the interior controls through a 10.1-inch touch screen on the center console, and a full 12.3" LCD instrument panel sits behind the steering wheel, which is customizable to your tastes. Seating 7, the Ford Explorer also features easy-access second-row seating and with the rear seats folded down, boasts 87 cubic feet of cargo space. Other features are available such as 360-degree view cameras and tri-zone climate control to ensure everyone arrives safely and comfortably. With these features and many more, the 2020 Ford Explorer is ready for anything West Michigan can throw at it. The 2020 Chevy Traverse boasts similar features as the Ford, albeit with not as much flash. Inside, you'll find an 8" Infotainment screen, a simulated top-down view of the vehicle to help prevent accidents while parking, back-up cam, and seating for 7. However, the Chevy Traverse may be expanded to accommodate 8 passengers with an available option. With the rear seats folded down, the Chevy Traverse also holds 98.2 cu/ft of cargo, a bit more than the Ford Explorer. The 2020 Honda Pilot is just as generous with the tech as the other two. Their whole host of safety features comes standard, such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, collision assist, and more. Though it has the smallest LCD screen of the bunch at 5", by all accounts Honda's system is polished and responsive. The Honda Pilot also seats 8, and features 83.9 cu/ft. of cargo space with the seats folded down, the smallest of the three. Adventure-Readiness The 2020 Ford Explorer saw the return of rear-wheel drive to the model, giving it a big advantage over its front-wheel drive competitors this year. This provides a little extra "oomph" when driving down uneven trails, better handling, and an extra 600 pounds of towing capacity the Chevy Traverse and the Honda Pilot just can't match. Plus, the 2020 Ford Explorer comes available with Intelligent 4WD and Terrain Management System - an easy-to-use selectable dial that optimizes the powertrain for various conditions like sand, snow, slippery, towing, and more. You couldn't ask for a more complete adventure-ready SUV in this category. The 2020 Chevy Traverse offers something similar, though not as robust. A dial in the center allows you to switch between FWD, AWD, Tow/Haul, and Off-Road, which means extra rear-wheel torque. The 2020 Honda Pilot gets closer, with an available All-Wheel Drive system that adapts to changing road conditions, with an override that allows you to set it to snow, mud, and sand modes. Overall Value The 2020 Ford Explorer starts at $32,765, making it the most expensive of the models we compared today. However, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for: the Explorer hosts the most up-to-date technology in the cabin, larger screens, more comfort, and superior power, especially important if you plan to tow a boat or a camper this summer. Plus, and maybe we're biased, but the newly-redesigned body for 2020 looks much more sleek and modern compared to the other two.The 2020 Chevrolet Traverse starts at $29,800, making it the most affordable option compared today. Though it triumphs over the Ford Explorer in some areas, there are serious compromises in others, the biggest one being choice. The Chevy has but one available engine for this vehicle, and while it's capable in its own right, it simply can't compete with the similar-sized Ford V6 if power is a factor for you.The 2020 Honda Pilot starts at $32,250, coming in just over $500 shy of the Ford Explorer. The Honda has its own unique strengths, it simply falls short of the Ford Explorer on engine options, cargo space, and infotainment options. It also has the lowest towing capacity of the three, but for buyers that don't tow heavy loads while adventuring, it might be worth a look.

Borgman Ford is so excited to share the New 2020 Ford Edge ST-Line, a new SUV offering for West Michigan adventurers who love the performance-inspired design of the Edge ST but don't want or need the extra power.

Check it out below: New Edge St-Line Comes Standard With Great Value And Eye-Catching Style Inspired By Ford Performance Ford introduces the 2020 Edge ST-Line model, a new choice for SUV customers who prefer Edge ST’s bold style but prioritize value over performance. Expanding the ST family by adding ST-Line will help even more customers find a Ford Edge that’s right for them. “Edge ST continues to break new ground with terrific styling, powerful performance and smart technology,” said Craig Patterson, Ford SUV marketing manager. “But some customers want style and value and don’t need all of the horsepower. For them, Edge ST-Line hits the bull’s-eye – again.” With a starting price $5,165 less than Edge ST, Edge ST-Line shares the same aggressive looks and includes all of the smart driver-assist technologies Edge customers can enjoy – advanced features that help take the stress out of driving. Edge ST-Line styling inspired by Ford Performance includes a unique ST-style grille with body-colored bumpers, black ST beltline molding combined with lower sport cladding, standard fog lamps and signature LED lighting. Black roof rack side rails, 20-inch gloss black aluminum wheels and unique Edge ST-Line badging further enhance the look of the new SUV. You can keep reading on Media.Ford.com.

Getting ready for summer adventures in West Michigan and not sure which SUV to choose? Borgman is comparing the 2020 Ford Escape, the 2020 Chevy Equinox, and the 2020 Honda CR-V to help you make your decision. We'll go head to head on key features of each and show how the 2020 Ford Escape stacks up. If you'd like to test drive the new Ford Escape for yourself, check out our huge selection and get in touch with us today! We'd be happy to help. more Read More While these three vehicles are similar in a lot of ways, we feel the 2020 Escape has advantages in all the right areas, namely in towing capacity and overall design. It's sleek, yet boasts more power for trekking your way through West Michigan's dirt roads and campgrounds with enough cargo space for whatever gear you need to bring along. Plus, with new hybrid options including a plug-in variant, fuel-conscious shoppers don't have to compromise either. Let's get started! Engine Options, Fuel Efficiency, and Towing There are two standard turbocharged engines in the 2020 Ford Escape lineup: the 1.5L EcoBoost and 2.0L EcoBoost engine. The first delivers spirited performance with an estimated 27 City and 33 miles per gallon highway mileage, with the bigger 2-liter engine capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds. The Chevy Equinox matches the Escape's engine displacement with their own 1.5L and 2.0L, both turbocharged as well. The Chevy Equinox's larger engine is also capable of towing 3,500 pounds but with the smaller 1.5L coming up short on efficiency with an estimated 31 mpg highway. The 2020 Honda CR-V offers one engine: their 1.5L turbocharged engine, with a hybrid option available as well, and edging the others out with an estimated 34 mpg highway. However, the Honda CR-V uses a CVT transmission which gives it an edge on fuel efficiency, it may be the reason for the CR-V's 1,500 towing capacity. Interior Features For 2020, the newly redesigned Ford Escape comes with a host of new interior features worth celebrating, including a standard WiFi hotspot. CoPilot 360, Ford's suite of safety features, also comes standard. The available SYNC 3 infotainment system, 8" screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and many other features are there for you to explore as well. You can even upgrade to the 12" display you'll find in the 2020 Ford Explorer, wireless phone charging, B&O stereo system, and WAZE integration. The Chevy Equinox and Honda CR-V offer similar features, though not nearly as many are standard. Both feature a 7" screen standard, but one interesting standout was the Bluetooth wireless communication in the Chevy Equinox can handle two devices at once - something that's invaluable for frequent passengers or someone with both a work and personal phone. Both vehicles feature their manufacturer's own infotainment operating systems. Cargo Space & Adventure-Readiness The 2020 Ford Escape is the ultimate companion for adventuring in West Michigan. Though light on its feet, All-Wheel Drive is available on standard and hybrid models, with the only exception being the plug-in hybrid model. With the seats folded down, the Escape boasts 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space - plenty of room for water skis, wakeboards, camping gear, or anything else you need for your summer excursions. The Chevrolet Equinox and Honda CR-V also feature available All-Wheel Drive options. The Chevy sports 63.9 cu/ft of cargo space with the seats folded down versus the Honda CR-V's 75.8 cu/ft, making it the clear winner in this category. Overall Design and Value The 2020 Ford Escape starts at $24,885, with an impressive new, sleek, and contoured exterior design. Though the Chevy Equinox is priced at a slightly lower $23,800, the Escape triumphs with many more features included standard. The 2020 Honda CR-V starts at $25,050, and while the difference is close and the CR-V does have more cargo space, bear in mind the CR-V comes with fewer choices and less than half the towing capacity.
