2021 Ford Escape Interior

If you’re looking for the compact SUV with the best second-row legroom, the 2021 Escape should be on your shortlist. The spacious interior won awards from J.D. Power and Associates in 2020, and it’s only getting better for 2021. Features like the following give this vehicle one of the most luxurious interiors you’re ever likely to find at such a reasonable price:

Digital Instrument Cluster – The available digital instrument cluster gives you way more control over the information you’ll see while driving. This particular feature isn’t especially rare among modern cars, but Ford’s design is so attractive and intuitive that it’s not quite like the other options out there.
Second Row Sliding Seats With 60/40 Split Fold-Down – It’s easy to configure the inside of this vehicle to match your needs on any given day. If you need space for a full load of people, keep the seats up. Whenever you need a little bit of extra room for your large objects or other cargo, though, you can fold the rear seat down in seconds. Thanks to the 60/40 split, you can still fit four people and a long object into the vehicle.
B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen With 10 Speakers – Bang & Olufsen is one of the best speaker companies in the world, so this sound system is sure to satisfy even the most discerning audiophiles.
Panoramic Vista Roof – This available option turns almost the entire roof of the vehicle into a transparent sheet so your passengers can enjoy the scenery on your drives. The roof also opens so you can get some fresh air into the vehicle and cool down as you cruise through Miami on a hot summer day.

2021 Ford Escape Safety

Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 technology is designed to keep drivers in command from the driveway to the highway. No matter where you go, or even which direction you’re moving, you’ll have access to a wide variety of active safety features and driver assistance features that inspire confidence in a stressful world. The advanced suite of driver assistance technology includes many standard features as well as some optional ones:

Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking – Your vehicle will alert you when it detects a potential collision. If you don’t respond quickly enough and the collision becomes imminent, your vehicle will activate the brakes when it becomes necessary.
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) With Cross-Traffic Alert – Many accidents happen because the driver can’t see a stationary or moving obstacle. This technology is designed to solve that problem by giving you feedback about what may be hiding in your blind spots.
Available Active Park Assist 2.0 – This vehicle handles well enough that it isn’t especially difficult to park. Still, you’ll appreciate this optional feature when you’re trying to squeeze into the last parallel parking spot on a crowded street in downtown Miami. The system will locate potential spots, then back itself into one once you initiate this feature.
Adaptive Cruise Control With Stop-and-Go – It’s frustrating when you have to keep turning your cruise control on and off because of traffic on road trips. Now you won’t have to. When traffic slows down (or even stops entirely), so will you. When traffic clears up, you’ll get back to the speed you set.
Selectable Drive Modes – Tailor the driving experience to your current situation. The available modes are Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/ Sand. Each of the modes modifies the electronic stability control system and traction control system to rise to the occasion.
Evasive Steering Assist – This feature won’t steer for you, but it can provide extra support when you try to make a quick maneuver around an obstacle before you whenever a collision is detected.
Rear View Camera – Simply put, this helps you see what’s behind you so you can proceed with confidence, even when you’re backing up.
Lane-Keeping System – The vehicle will correct itself if you start to drift out of your lane.
Available Head-up Display – Keep your eyes on the road when your speed and other critical information is projected directly into your line of sight.

Ford Escape SUV Technology

There’s plenty of advanced safety technology in this vehicle, but some of the tech is focused on convenience and style as well. It all runs through the available Ford Sync 3 infotainment system, which is among the industry’s best. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow you to connect seamlessly with your phone as you pull up directions, search for music, and place phone calls. Control the system with your voice to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.

Your vehicle can also integrate with WAZE technology and Amazon Alexa. Connect further with Amazon to experience the convenience of in-car package delivery. The Amazon delivery driver will put your packages in your vehicle then double-check to confirm that the vehicle is closed and locked.

Ford Escape SUV Plug-in Hybrid

We’re past the days when people had to sacrifice style and versatility to reduce their gas costs and carbon footprints. The 2021 Ford Escape hybrid powertrain gets around 40 miles per gallon with an EPA-estimated 37 miles of electric range. The engineers at Ford have been focusing on making more efficient vehicles, which is definitely a success.

Squealing, Grinding, or Shaking? Here's What Your Ford Brakes Are Telling You in Miami

Brake noise is one of the clearest signals that a component is wearing or no longer performing as intended. If you've noticed squealing, grinding, or vibration while driving around Miami, it's time to pay attention before a small repair grows into a larger one. Brake systems are designed to provide consistent, confident stopping power. As brake pads, rotors, and hardware wear over time, those components begin communicating through sound and feel. If it's time for routine maintenance, explore our Ford service center or schedule a service appointment online for a professional inspection. A High-Pitched Squeal Is Often the First Warning One of the most common brake sounds is a sharp squeal during light braking. In many Ford vehicles, this comes from a built-in wear indicator attached to the brake pad. As the friction material becomes thin, the indicator contacts the rotor and creates a noticeable sound to let you know replacement time is approaching. Responding early can help protect the brake rotors and keep the repair straightforward. Waiting too long allows the remaining pad material to wear away, increasing the chance of additional component replacement. Grinding Means Your Brakes Need Immediate Attention Grinding usually signals that the brake pads have worn beyond their usable material, allowing metal components to contact the rotor. This creates excessive friction that can quickly damage the braking surface and reduce stopping performance. In some situations, small rocks or road debris can become trapped between the rotor and brake components, producing a grinding sound. A professional inspection can identify the source and determine the appropriate repair before additional damage occurs. Vibration and Pulling Should Never Be Ignored Brake concerns are not limited to unusual sounds. If the steering wheel shakes during braking or the vehicle pulls to one side, the braking system deserves immediate attention. Brake pedal or steering wheel vibration is commonly associated with uneven rotor surfaces created by repeated heating and cooling cycles. Pulling during braking may point to uneven brake pad wear, a sticking caliper, or another component that is preventing balanced braking force across the axle. Correcting these issues early helps preserve tire life, improves vehicle stability, and restores the smooth braking experience Ford engineers intended. Miami Driving Can Be Tough on Brake Components Driving throughout Miami places added demands on your braking system. Frequent traffic lights, stop-and-go congestion, elevated temperatures, and sudden braking all contribute to faster brake wear than many drivers experience in cooler climates. Having your brakes inspected at least once a year, or any time you notice changes in sound, feel, or stopping performance, can help identify wear before it develops into a larger repair. Pairing brake inspections with routine maintenance visits makes it easier to keep your Ford performing at its best. If your vehicle is due for additional maintenance, ask about tire service, wheel alignment, or your next factory-recommended maintenance visit while you're here. Keep Your Ford Stopping with Confidence Addressing brake concerns early can help reduce repair costs, protect important components, and maintain the dependable stopping performance you expect every time you get behind the wheel. If you've noticed changes in the way your Ford brakes feel or sound around Miami, visit Midway Ford for a professional inspection. Our factory-trained technicians can diagnose the issue and help get you back on the road with confidence. Schedule your service appointment online today.

How Much Can a Ford Maverick Tow? Real Examples for Miami Drivers

The Ford Maverick delivers impressive utility in a compact frame. If you want a truck that navigates city streets effortlessly while still hauling heavy loads, this vehicle deserves your attention. For buyers in Miami, FL, Miami Ford offers the exact guidance you need to choose the right configuration. Reach out to our dealership today to discover your options. What Is the Ford Maverick's Towing Capacity? The Ford Maverick towing capacity reaches a maximum of 4,000 pounds when properly equipped. For the 2026 model year, you can achieve this rating with either the turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost engine or the hybrid powertrain by selecting the 4K Tow Package. Without the upgraded package, the truck provides a standard towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. You can confidently choose the powertrain that best fits your daily driving needs without sacrificing utility. Real-World Towing Scenarios What does that capacity look like in practical terms? A small fishing boat or jet ski weighs between 1,500 and 3,000 pounds with a trailer. The Maverick tows that equipment easily. If you pull a landscaping trailer, expect a weight between 2,000 and 3,500 pounds, which also falls comfortably within the truck's maximum rating. Even a pop-up camper for weekend getaways stays well within the 4,000-pound limit. How the Maverick Compares to Larger Trucks The Maverick will not match the extreme hauling limits of a full-size truck. However, the compact footprint offers a distinct advantage for urban driving. Navigating tight streets and crowded parking lots becomes simple. This truck perfectly balances daily driving efficiency with practical weekend capability, giving you the best of both worlds. Tips for Maximizing Your Towing Ability You need the available 4K Tow Package to unlock the maximum towing capacity. This upgrade adds a trailer hitch receiver, a trailer brake controller, and an upgraded cooling system. Always ensure your load is properly distributed and secured before driving. Furthermore, standard tech features like Apple CarPlay© and Android Auto© keep you connected, while available driver-assist systems help you remain confident on the highway. Find Your Ford Maverick Today The 2026 MotorTrend Truck of the Year provides the ideal mix of efficiency, value, and strength. If you want a capable pickup without the bulk of a heavy-duty model, this vehicle checks every box. Visit Miami Ford in Miami, FL, to browse our current inventory and test drive your new truck.

The 2026 Ford Bronco is Coming to Miami, FL

Ford Bronco fans in South Florida can look forward to the arrival of the 2026 Ford Bronco. Set to be released in late 2025, the new Bronco is expected to carry over its existing engine options from the 2025 model year, including a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four and a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6. Meanwhile, at our Miami, FL dealership, we have a very good selection of 2025 Ford Bronco models available right now in our new inventory for you to test drive and take home today. Quality The 2026 Ford Bronco will once again illustrate Ford's unwavering commitment to quality, with a high-strength steel chassis, durable body panels, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Adventurers in Hialeah, FL will appreciate the Bronco's solid construction, ready to withstand the toughest trails and off-road challenges. Available with two or four doors, soft tops or hardtops, and removable doors and roof panels, the 2025 Ford Bronco SUV is among the finest ways to take on the great outdoors. Performance We expect the 2026 Bronco will offer the same potent engines as our current 2025 models. That means a standard 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder as well as an optional 330-horsepower twin-turbo 2.7-liter V-6. A 10-speed automatic transmission will continue to manage both gas engines, and a seven-speed manual will be compatible with the 2.3-liter four-cylinder, for a higher level of driving engagement. Every new Bronco comes with off-road-style four-wheel drive, and the independent front suspension is more sophisticated than the front stick axle system in the Jeep® Wrangler. Whether you’re navigating city streets or blazing new paths in the wilderness, the Bronco will deliver the horsepower and torque you need to take on rugged terrain. The maximum towing capacity will continue to be 3500 pounds. Interior The Bronco offers Kendall, FL off-roaders the same open-air possibilities that make the Jeep Wrangler an outdoor lover's favorite, allowing you to take off the doors and roof panels. But the Ford Bronco's interior has more innovations than the Wrangler, like a rack built into the top of its dashboard that allows smartphones and GoPros to be mounted there. It also comes with frameless doors that are easy to remove. What's more, when you take off the roof and the doors, you get to keep the safety and convenience of your mirrors, an advantage the Jeep Wrangler doesn’t offer. If you want to protect the cabin from the elements, you can select the available rubberized flooring and marine-grade vinyl upholstery. Those who want a more upscale environment can get genuine leather seating surfaces. Technology The 2026 Ford Bronco will be equipped with Ford's latest SYNC® 4 software that powers a 12.0-inch touchscreen mounted in the middle of the dashboard. The system will continue to accommodate over-the-air updates and connect to your smartphone wirelessly. The infotainment system also supports an array of infotainment features like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Appealing upgrades for Hollywood, FL buyers will include built-in navigation and a premium Bang & Olufsen stereo system. Safety The 2026 Bronco will continue to offer a collection of advanced safety systems to provide added security. Available safety features will include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist. Savings At our dealership, we believe that getting behind the wheel of your ideal Ford Bronco should be an attainable goal. That's why we offer competitive pricing and affordable financing options on all our Bronco models, so you can enjoy your new ride without breaking the bank. Find Out More About the New Ford Bronco We can provide updates on the arrival of the 2026 Ford Bronco.
