Bronco Sport Basics and New Features
The Bronco Sport was designed to provide a smaller version of the popular midsize Bronco with the flexibility to perform on both paved roads and rugged trails. Every model can handle some level of off-roading, but the 2025 Outer Banks and Badlands trims now come with the Sasquatch package, which adds new steel bumpers, a bull bar on the front, a little extra ground clearance, and more for ultimate capability.
All five trim levels also now come with a larger standard infotainment screen with more advanced software, a standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, style updates, and adaptive cruise control.
Trail-Ready Performance
The standard Bronco Sport engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder that makes 180-horsepower, which can be upgraded to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a 238-hp output. An eight-speed automatic transmission pairs with either option, and all-wheel drive is standard across the lineup. The larger engine also adds paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel if you prefer the option to shift manually. Five standard drive modes, Normal, ECO, Sport, Slippery, and Off-Road let you customize your vehicle’s performance.
Stylish Functionality
The rugged exterior styling of the Bronco Sport is both functional and exciting to behold. The base model features a carbonized gray grille with white BRONCO lettering, which comes with active grille shutters to enhance performance. The black-finished side mirrors are power-adjustable with convenient heated glass. Two adjustable floodlights are mounted on the liftgate, and there’s even a bottle opener located in the hatch. Flip-up rear glass makes it easier to grab cargo without fully opening the liftgate.
Convenient Technology
Every 2025 Bronco Sport features a 13.2-inch capacitive infotainment touchscreen with swipe capability, conversational voice command recognition, and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Standard driver assistance features include Pre-Collision Assist, Lane-Keeping System, and Blind Spot Assist to give you extra peace of mind on all your adventures.

The best-selling F-Series is expanding into the EV market with the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning. This all-electric work truck packs the same punch as its gas siblings but outsmarts them with electrified performance and capabilities. We introduce you to the future of trucking.
Basics About the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning
Building on the ever-popular F-150, Ford has turned an icon into an all-electric powerhouse. At its heart is a dual-electric motor, kicking out a whopping 775 pound-feet of torque, making the Lightning quick out the starting blocks. The standard battery produces 452 horsepower and achieves an EPA-estimated range of 240 miles.
Looking for more mileage on a single charge? Upgrade to the FLASH, LARIAT, or Platinum trims, all of which are fitted with an extended-range battery. This additional power gives you 580 horsepower, propels the Lightning from 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds, and ups the range to between 300 and 320 miles.
Unique Features
Exceptional Towing Abilities
When you invest in a truck, you want it to carry everything you need for work or weekends away. The F-150 has you covered with a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, or up to 8,500 pounds when equipped with the advanced battery and the available Max Trailer Pro package.
Ford has also given you a helping hand with weighing, hitching, and guiding your trailer by installing its Smart Hitch and Pro Trailer Backup Assist systems as standard. Smart Hitch estimates the tongue weight while the backup assistant controls the steering while reversing making your life much easier.
Mega Power Frunk
One of the benefits of EVs is the free space under the hood where a gas engine would usually live. In the Lightning, this space has been turned into a frunk, or a front trunk. This additional 14.1 cubic feet of cargo space holds up to 400 pounds of tools, luggage, ice and drinks, or anything else you choose to stow.
Lined with rubberized material, the interior is durable and easy to rinse down and clean, especially thanks to the built-in drain hole. Integrated lighting illuminates the frunk, which also features four 12V outlets and two USB ports, letting you charge devices, plug in an electric skillet, or even power a small fridge when tailgating.
The F-150 Lightning is redefining the truck by combining electric power with rugged durability and workhorse capabilities. If you’re ready to electrify your vehicle, contact us or head to Jackson Ford, Inc. in Decatur, IL today and take a test drive in the truck of the future.
