Drivers who are ready for adventure will adore the 2025 Ford Bronco, which is a classic in Ford's lineup. From day one, this vehicle has been used to explore the world and have some fun, and it can still do that today while being a great everyday car, too. 1. It Has Four Fantastic Suspension Options The Bronco is designed to handle the trails with ease, so there are four high-performance off-road stability suspensions available. First, there's a HOSS 1.0 system that's ideal for high-speed trail adventures. It has heavy-duty dampers in the front and rear, a 220-millimeter solid rear axle with non-travel, variable-rate coil-over springs, twin forged alloy-A arms, and a passive damping system. There are three more HOSS systems, numbered as 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. Systems with a higher number can handle more treacherous conditions than those with a lower one. The toughest of all, which is the Bronco Raptor HOSS 4.0 Suspension System, has features that include integrated front reservoirs, remote rear reservoir, 3.1 internal bypass semi-active dampers, and FOX live-valve technology that has position-sensitive damping. more 2. It Lets You Get Plenty of Fresh Air Traverse the trails with the top down or, to be more in touch with nature, with the top down and the doors taken off. You can get the vehicle with a soft top or hardtop, the base trim can be configured with either one. You need a 4-door model for a black cloth soft top or a classic mesh Bimini soft top. You need a 2-door model for a carbonized gray molded-in-color hardtop. The soft top lets you remove the rear panel while keeping a roof over the items in the cargo area, or you can put the top fully down for a more open-air feel. 3. It Lets You Transport A Lot Of Gear Your Bronco lets you have the best outdoor experience possible by having room for you to bring lots of gear along for the ride. The interior has enough space to store all of your doors, and there are available storage bags for you to place them in. If you're not storing your doors in the car, then you've got 83 cubic feet of cargo space to use for adventure gear when you fall down the second row seats in soft top models. Hardtop models have enough room for 77.2 cubic feet of cargo. 4. It Has Drains The Bronco has rubberized floor mats with drain plugs, so you can grab a hose and wash down the interior after a messy adventure without worrying about where the water will go. There are marine-grade vinyl seats available to help resist mildew. How many of these reasons make you want to test drive the Bronco? Come see it in person today at our dealership, Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD.

There's been plenty of talk in the news lately about how tariffs are going to affect the economy in general, but the auto tariffs impact is likely to be one of the greatest changes consumers will see. Car tariffs are going to have a major impact on the sticker price of all vehicles, including those that are assembled in the United States. What Are Car Tariffs? A tariff is a tax that is assessed on the value of a good at the time that it is imported to the country. The automotive tax is based on a percentage of the value of the vehicle or parts being imported and must be paid by the company or consumer before the goods will be released from customs. more How Auto Tariffs Impact Costs Tariffs will have wide-ranging impacts on the cost of vehicles moving forward, even for domestic companies like Ford who rely on long standing supply chains to source raw materials and parts. Some experts say that car prices are likely to increase by $5,000-10,000 overnight. Here's a look at a few areas where tariffs are likely to hit hardest: Steel and Aluminum The first phase of tariffs on steel and aluminum is already in play, making it harder for auto manufacturers to source the raw materials that are used to build vehicles of all kinds. While the US does produce a significant quantity of steel and aluminum, auto manufacturers are scrambling to form new connections and strike deals before their assembly lines are disrupted. Parts Downstream from the steel and aluminum tariffs is the newest set of tariffs levied against the automotive industry specifically. This 25% tariff lands squarely in the middle of the most manufacturers' supply chains, where it is common for parts to cross from the US to either Mexico or Canada and back again before final assembly. Manufacturers have spent decades building complex webs of warehouses and assembly plants across North and Central America, and now they will have to pay more for to bring those parts back to the US to build vehicles. Ford, like other manufacturers, faces the challenge of either absorbing these higher costs or passing them onto consumers, which could result in higher prices for new vehicles. What This Means for Ford and Koons Ford Silver Spring Customers For vehicles that are not normally built in the US, the 25% tariff will apply to the total vehicle cost, which will amount to thousands of dollars added to the sticker price at the dealer. This will impact foreign automakers, but even domestic brands like Ford, which rely on global supply chains, will not be immune to the price hikes. The 2025 tariff policies, including those targeting steel, aluminum, and automotive parts, are putting pressure on car manufacturers like Ford. While there are efforts underway to alleviate some of the burden, such as the possibility of tariff exemptions for certain parts and reimbursements for vehicles assembled in the U.S., these changes are still likely to lead to higher prices.

The 2025 Ford Ranger is a great match for anyone who needs a strong truck that delivers a smooth ride. It's also a fantastic pick for drivers who like choices, as you have three engines to choose from and lots of available packages you can equip. It's a Strong Truck for Transporting Cargo If you have cargo to transport, then pack it into the bed or hitch up a trailer, because this truck is highly capable of transporting heavy loads. The Ranger's maximum payload capacity varies depending on the model you choose, but its highest payload capacity is 1,788 pounds. To achieve this capacity, you need a 4x2 Crew Cab with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. When it comes to trailering, the strongest Rangers can haul up to 7,500 pounds, but this can also vary depending on your truck's configuration. You need a Crew Cab model with the Trailer Tow Package to achieve the highest towing capacity when driving the Ranger XL, XLT, or LARIAT. The Ranger Raptor has both a lower payload and towing capacity than the other three trims; it's designed for fantastic off-roading ability rather than brute strength. more It Has Three Excellent Engines Available The Ranger's base engine is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that produces 270 horsepower, making models with this engine tough enough to tackle hard jobs, such as hauling. If you prefer beefier V6 engines, then consider the 2.7-liter EcoBoost. The V6 isn't available on the base trim or Raptor. Both of the engines we've mentioned are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and they're available in both 2x4 and 4x4 models. The third engine option is the Raptor's standard 3-liter engine that pumps out 405 hp. This model has the same 10-speed automatic transmission as the other trims. All Raptors are 4x4 models with no 4x2 option. It's Wonderfully Comfortable The Ranger has a cabin that's designed for comfort. The driver's seat is adjustable in eight directions, and the front passenger seat is 6-way adjustable. Both need to be manually maneuvered. The XLT trim lets you choose either the standard seats or a 10-way power adjustable driver's seat alongside an 8-way power adjustable front passenger seat. These power-adjustable seats are standard in the top two trims. It Has a Wealth of Standard and Available Driver Assistance Technology Every Ranger comes with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking to make sure you're always aware of potential collisions. Every trim also has Automatic High Beams. The XLT and up trim have the Ford CO-Pilot360 package, which gives the Ranger more driver assistance features, including Reverse Brake Assist and Blind Spot Assist for a more safety in different driving situations. If you like what you've learned, then you're bound to enjoy test-driving the Ranger. Come to Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD, to get behind the wheel.

When tires become irregular in wear patterns, your car's traction and handling will diminish. Unless this problem is quickly remedied at your local Ford dealership, the tires will wear down faster and those undergoing more pressure might even skid or blow out on the road. Routine tire rotations are the best way to even out uneven tread wear. It's easy to schedule rotations at your local tire service center, Silver Spring; let's consider how frequently to do so. Twice a Year Is a Good Rule of Thumb Most drivers have their tires rotated every six months. This process evens out the wear patterns by swapping the tires around. Certain positions on the car tend to put extra strain on the tire, which causes uneven wear to develop. The exact pattern in which your tires should be rotated depends on whether the car is rear-wheel, fore-wheel, or all-wheel drive, among other factors. more Ask at Your Local Ford Dealership Not all vehicles and driving habits are precisely alike, so the optimal interval for your rotations might be more than twice a year. If you pay us a visit, our technicians can examine the wear patterns on your tires and ascertain how frequently you should have them rotated. Common Causes of Uneven Tire Wear Any imperfection in wheel alignment or air pressure can exacerbate uneven tread wear. This is one reason why it's so important to check the pressure of your tires monthly and the alignment of each wheel twice a year. Irregular tire wear also results from a naturally unbalanced distribution of pressure across any vehicle. Factors such as heavier front ends, weight shifting forward while braking and the wheels that turn when steering all have an impact. Watch Out for Signs of Irregular Tire Wear When your tires become uneven, they'll generate more road noise and vibrations than usual. Your gas mileage will gradually diminish. You may become less confident in how your car handles and grips the road on wet surfaces. If you examine the tires, you'll also see strange wear patterns such as cupping or inside edge wear. Schedule Tire Rotations at Your Tire Service Center, Silver Spring Routine rotations are just as crucial a service as oil changes and are even more directly related to road safety. Because of this, many drivers have their tires rotated and oil changed in the same visit. Our technicians can also take the opportunity to measure your wheel alignment and inspect your brakes. Visit Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD, today to have your tires inspected, rotated, aligned, or replaced. For over 15 years, we've been providing a go-to dealership and service center for drivers in Silver Spring and the surrounding region.

Before you buy a new Ford Explorer in Maryland, check out our model guide to identify the one that best fits your lifestyle. more 1. Active Although the most affordable Explorer, the Active doesn't scrimp on style. Chrome accents on the lower cladding and chrome bar detailing on the black mesh grille add a touch of class to the exterior. Ford's entry-level trim also boasts plenty of desirable features, such as automatic LED headlights, silver 18-inch aluminum wheels, heated power side mirrors, and a power liftgate. Inside, front passengers enjoy heated seats, with the driver's being 10-way power-adjustable. Comfortable captain's seats are installed in the second row.

ST-Line The ST-Line receives a sporty makeover from signature running lights, 20-inch ebony machined wheels, and black front and rear skid plates. It also swaps the chrome exterior accents for darker detailing for a more refined look. The sporty touches continue inside, with the ebony-colored upholstery gaining red stitching. Front passengers now enjoy the convenience of a power-adjustable seat and those in the second row benefit from heated seats.

Various issues could signal problems in your Ford's emission system. Learn why strange smoke, odd exhaust smells, and other factors may be a sign that it's time to visit the service department at our Ford dealership for emission control service. 1. Check Engine Light The check engine light is often the first indicator of various engine issues. Using an OBD-II code reader, mechanics can determine if the check engine light came on due to an issue with the catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor, or the EVAP system. more 2. Failed Emission A failed emission test may be the clearest indicator that there's an issue in the emission system. Common causes of a failed emission test are similar to what triggers a check engine light, including malfunctioning oxygen sensors or a faulty catalytic converter. Issues with exhaust gas recirculation valves can also cause a failed emission test. 3. Rough Idling or Stalling If you notice that your Ford is idling rough or even stalling, it could be due to vacuum leaks. Like failed emission tests, a faulty EGR valve may also be the culprit in this scenario. 4. Poor Fuel Economy A variety of reasons could result in reduced fuel economy on your Ford, but a couple are directly related to the emission control system. If your Ford's oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor has started failing or failed completely, it can result in your engine creating an incorrect air/fuel mixture. This will lead to your engine burning more fuel than required. Other signs of a bad air/fuel mixture are black exhaust smoke, rough idling, and a loss of power. 5. Hissing or Ticking Noises Unfamiliar hissing or ticking noises can be hard to pinpoint, but if you've noticed other symptoms of a faulty emission system, start checking vacuum hoses for leaks. This includes cracked hoses within the evaporative emissions system. 6. Excessive Fuel Smell If you're noticing a strong gas or diesel smell in your Ford, it could be because of a bad charcoal canister or a failure within the EVAP system. However, excessive fuel odors aren't always due to malfunctions within the emission system. It can also be the result of damaged fuel lines or fuel injectors. Incomplete combustion can also cause an excessive fuel smell in your Ford. If you have a faulty spark plug, unburned fuel can end up in the tailpipe, causing the unwanted fuel odor. When to Visit Our Ford Dealership in Silver Spring, Maryland If you notice any of the signs mentioned above, and especially if you've noticed several of them, stop by our dealership as soon as it's convenient. Continuing to run your Ford with faults in the emission system could lead to additional problems resulting in costly repairs. To learn if your Ford's emission system needs repair, visit Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD.

Modes that lets you toggle between different performance modes with the turn of a dial for tackling different driving conditions.

Select trims also have heated front seats and under-seat storage area, and there's plenty of convenient technology to enhance drives for everyone, including the SYNC 4 infotainment system, multiple 12-volt outlets and USB ports for personal devices, and a 4G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot. Designed for Thrills Providing more headroom inside while also giving you a sturdy 150-pound-rated surface for holding cargo, the vehicle's standard safari-style roof is sure to be appreciated. When encountering tough weather conditions, the side mirrors have heated glass, LED fog lamps are available, and select trims come with rain-adaptive wipers.

The check engine light comes on when sensors detect something that affects engine performance. As time passes, parts wear due to age or damage, leading to engine problems and potentially serious damage. As your Ford dealer in Silver Spring, MD, we'd like you to know some reasons you need to visit us for Ford maintenance. Ford Maintenance: Possible Reasons the Check Engine Light Comes On Blocked Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter is a vital part of the exhaust system. Combustion produces numerous dangerous, toxic gases, and the converter changes these gases into harmless ones before they exit the tailpipe. The conversion process uses immense pressure, chemical reactions, and intense heat, producing carbon as a byproduct. Carbon can build up inside the converter and block the exit to the exhaust system. A blockage forces the gases back into the engine. Their arrival increases pressure inside the engine, which can cause it to shut down without warning. A blocked converter can also cause your engine to fail within seconds of starting. We'll clear the blockage to fix this issue. more Worn Spark Plugs A spark plug screws into each engine cylinder and provides the ignition source for the cylinder contents. Air and fuel mix in a precise ratio in the intake manifold and are drawn into the cylinders. The cylinders close, and the pistons move upward at high speed to compress the fuel-air mixture. Once the mixture is sufficiently compressed, a spark plug ignites it to produce compression. Spark plugs wear out over time and can be damaged by issues like worn ignition coils or a fuel-rich engine. A damaged spark plug won't ignite its cylinder contents successfully, causing a misfire. Engine sensors will detect the misfire and its cause and inform your computer, causing the engine light to come on. We'll test the plugs and replace any damaged ones to fix this problem. Damaged Mass Airflow Sensor (MAS) The MAS monitors airflow into the engine and sends this information to the computer. The computer then determines how much fuel must be added to the mixture for successful combustion. A MAS can be damaged by an oil leak, water, or dirt, and it can also wear out over time. A worn or damaged MAS prevents the computer from accurately calculating how much air is in the engine. Without information from the MAS, your computer has to guess. If too much air is added, the fuel-air mixture will be lean, causing rough idling, reduced acceleration, and decreased engine power. If insufficient air is added, the mixture becomes fuel-rich, causing misfiring, damage to the spark plugs, and increased fuel usage. All these issues will trigger the engine light. We'll repair or replace the MAS, and your engine will work normally. Contact our service department today at Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD.
