Ford Expedition - “Highest Ranked Large SUV in Initial Quality, 2 Years in a Row”

According to the study, the Ford Expedition has received the “lowest rate of reported problems” among the participating Large SUV models.

When you are behind the wheel of a 2018 edition, you will be able to benefit from a total of 470 lb.-ft. of torque when correctly equipped.

Ford Mustang - “Highest Ranked Midsize Sporty Car in Initial Quality, 2 Years In a Row”

Just like the Expedition, the Ford Mustang also earned the “lowest rate of reported problems” in the Midsize Sporty Cars category. The 2018 edition has been designed to provide drivers with exhilarating thrills, regardless of where they are. You can pick one of two outstanding engines: the 2.3L EcoBoost engine or the 5.0 V8 Coyote engine. The 2.3L has more torque than previously seen, thanks to the transient overboost component built into the engine. The 5.0 V8 Coyote engine uses port fuel and direct injections to bring you a high level of torque, power, and efficiency. Here at Portsmouth Ford, your NH Ford dealer, we will be glad to talk about the incredible levels of performance that a Ford Mustang can give you.

Ford Super Duty - “Highest Ranked Large Heavy Duty Pickup in Initial Quality"

Though it was a tie for first place for “lowest rate of reported problems” in the Large Heavy Duty Pickup category, the Ford Super Duty certainly is the winner for our team at Portsmouth Ford, your Ford dealer in NH. That is because the 2018 edition embodies the efficiency, performance, and luxury that Ford is so well-known for. Through the use of gyroscopic sensors, you are sure to always remain firmly on the road.
