The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine delivers 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, providing a maximum towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds for the base model. If you crave even more strength, there’s an optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine with 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds.

For off-road adventures that require the ultimate in Bronco towing capability, the newly introduced Raptor trim boasts a powerful 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. This beastly engine produces 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque, allowing for a maximum towing capacity of up to 4,500 pounds. Whether on pavement or off-road terrain, the Bronco’s engine options give you the flexibility and power to tow your gear easily.

Towing Features and Enhancements

The Ford Bronco has all the cutting-edge technology you need for safer and easier towing. Standard features include:

• Trailer sway control: This feature keeps your trailer steady and on track, even in windy or uneven conditions.
• High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) System 1.0: This advanced suspension system is specifically for off-roading, providing better handling and control even while towing a heavy load.
• Terrain management system with five G.O.A.T. (goes over any terrain) modes: Customize your drive to match the environment with modes that adjust vehicle performance for everything from slippery surfaces to rocky inclines.
• Individual tire pressure monitoring system: Keep track of your tire pressure and adjust as needed to ensure safe towing.
• AdvanceTrac with roll stability control: This gives you enhanced control by helping to prevent rollover and maintain vehicle stability when towing around corners or in rough conditions.
• A rearview camera with backup assist grid lines: Hitching a trailer becomes a breeze with clear visibility and guiding lines.
• Hill-decent control: This system helps you maintain a safe speed while towing on steep descents.
• Hill-start assist: When stopped on an incline, this system helps prevent rollback and makes it easier to move again.

The features become increasingly sophisticated as you move up the Ford Bronco trim levels. Upgrades include:

• The availability of a 360-degree camera: This offers a bird’s-eye view of the Bronco’s surroundings, making it easier to navigate through tight spots or when connecting a trailer.
• The HOSS 2.0 System with Bilstein position-sensitive dampers: This advanced system further refines the suspension for remarkable off-road capability and stability, even when towing heavy payloads.

Available Packages for the 2024 Ford Bronco

Ford understands that you should never have to compromise safety for performance. That’s why all new 2024 Ford Bronco models are available with the Ford Co-Pilot 360 safety suite. This comprehensive package takes driver assistance to the next level with BlueCruise for hands-free highway driving and BLIS, or blind-spot information system, with a cross-traffic alert to keep an extra eye out when towing trailers. The lane-keeping system helps prevent accidental lane departure, while the pre-collision assist system with automatic emergency braking can reduce the severity of or avoid an accident altogether.

Intelligent adaptive cruise control adjusts your speed to maintain a predetermined distance from the vehicle ahead and includes features such as evasive steering assist, enhancing safety in potential collision situations. And, with the ever-useful rearview camera, drivers get added confidence when navigating in reverse.

Recognizing the significance of both form and function, Ford’s Sasquatch Package equips the Bronco with beefy 35-inch mud-terrain tires, beadlock-capable 17-inch wheels, electronic-locking front and rear axles, and high-clearance fender flares. These features enhance its off-road performance and add to the vehicle’s rugged and commanding appearance.

To further enhance the towing experience, opt for the Trailer Tow Prep Package, which equips your Bronco with essential upgrades for managing heavy loads. And if customization and control are what you’re after, consider the available performance bundle complete with auxiliary switches and pre-run accessory wires, giving you the freedom and flexibility to add and manage additional off-road gear to match your adventurous lifestyle.

Real-Life Towing Scenarios

Regarding actual towing situations, the 2024 Ford Bronco demonstrates its versatility and power. You can hitch a small boat or a couple of jet skis to the Raptor trim and head out for a weekend of aquatic adventure, fully utilizing its 4,500-pound towing capacity. This makes it an excellent option if you’re a water sports enthusiast who requires a dependable vehicle to transport your gear.

On solid ground, the Bronco’s base model, with a standard towing limit of 3,500 pounds, can effortlessly pull a compact travel trailer or a pop-up camper, making it ideal for family camping trips. For those planning an extended camping experience or a journey through the backcountry, upgrading your Bronco with the optional towing package increases its capabilities, allowing you to take along larger trailers or more spacious campers without breaking a sweat.

So whether you’re looking to haul ATVs, move furniture, or take your second home on the road, the Bronco is up to the task.

Your car is a complicated machinery with many moving parts working simultaneously. It also needs many fluids to help it run smoothly, and sometimes they spill. Although finding a puddle underneath your car isn’t the end of the world, you still need to identify and fix the leak before it becomes a serious issue. Keep reading to learn more about your car’s fluids and find out how you can identify a leak’s source.

Overview of Common Vehicle Fluids

Discovering which fluids your car uses is the first step when trying to tell which one is leaking. The fluids you’ll find in most combustion-engine vehicles are:

• Engine oil: This is arguably the most important fluid in your car. It lubricates your engine’s components and prevents them from overheating by reducing friction.
• Transmission fluid: Similar to engine oil, transmission fluid lubricates your transmission components and prevents overheating.
• Coolant fluid: Even a well-lubricated engine will eventually overheat. Your car’s coolant absorbs excess heat and keeps your engine at a constant temperature.
• Brake fluid: Your braking system uses a special liquid to transmit the force you generate by pressing the brake pedal down to the brake pads or pistons.
• Power steering fluid: All modern vehicles have a special motor that makes it easier to turn the steering wheel. Power steering fluid keeps its components running smoothly.
• Windshield wiper fluid: Its name is pretty self-explanatory. Although windshield wiper fluid isn’t as important as the other fluids, having a dirty windshield can be a major safety hazard.

Identifying Fluid by Color and Consistency

You can determine the source of your leak by analyzing the fluid. This is what each fluid looks like:

• Clear: If the puddle is clear, you probably have nothing to worry about. It’s likely condensation build-up from your air-conditioning unit.
• Brown or black: The most probable source of a brown or black puddle is engine oil. Running out of oil can destroy your engine, so you better have someone look at it as soon as possible.
• Red or light brown: This is probably transmission fluid, red when new but tends to get darker as it ages. However, power steering fluid can have a similar color and texture, but you can tell which one is leaking by analyzing its location, which we’ll get into a little later.
• Light yellow to light brown: This is most likely brake fluid. Although it can have a brownish color similar to power steering or transmission fluid, it has a different consistency and is more slippery.
• Bright red, green, orange, or blue: If the fluid is brightly colored, it’s usually coolant. You can also tell by its watery consistency.

Location of the Leak

As you’ve noticed earlier, some fluids may have similar colors and textures. When this happens, the best way to identify it is by analyzing the leak’s location. This quick guide can help you do that:

Near the Front of the Vehicle

If the puddle is near the front of your vehicle, it’s probably engine oil. However, it could also be coolant or windshield wiper fluid. You can usually tell them apart by their color, as engine oil is darker than the other two. Also, windshield wiper fluid usually smells nicer than the coolant, making it easy to determine which one is leaking.

Your Exhaust Pipe

Most leaks from your exhaust pipe are usually due to water condensation and aren’t concerning issues. However, it could also be coolant fluid. The latter is slightly thicker and brighter, distinguishing it from plain water.

The Center of Your Vehicle

If the leak is deeper underneath your vehicle, a probable source is your transmission fluid. It could also be the power steering fluid, and since the two are similar in color and texture, it can be challenging to determine which one is leaking. The power steering fluid reservoir is usually on the left side, so this may give you a clue regarding the leak source.

Smell and Texture Tests

If the puddle’s color and location don’t give you enough info to determine its source, its smell and texture may help. For instance, coolant usually smells sweet, while transmission fluid smells similar to gasoline. The latter is also very slippery. However, it’s important to remember that some of these fluids may be toxic, so be careful not to ingest them when smelling or touching them.

Checking Fluid Levels

Determining your car’s fluid level may vary depending on its make and model, but you can follow some general guidelines. You can probably check your engine oil by using the dedicated dipstick on your engine block. Take it out when the engine is cold, clean it, and put it back again. It should have some markings to help you determine its current level.

Power steering, brake, and transmission fluids may have similar dipsticks or visible tanks with written measurements. Locate them underneath your hood and check their levels. The coolant tank also has a minimum and maximum level marker on it. It’s important to check them regularly or have a mechanic do it, as it can keep your car running smoothly for a long time.

When To Seek Professional Help

You should immediately call a mechanic if you can’t determine the source of the leak, even if you know which fluid is leaking. The issue may be a cheap hose or something similar, but if you don’t fix it on time, it will probably become more difficult and expensive to fix.

Have You Had Your Fluids Checked?

Making sure your car has enough fluids to run smoothly can keep you away from unpleasant surprises and expensive repairs. If you notice a leak, looking professionally at it is the best way to proceed. At Brewster Ford, our experienced mechanics are trained to identify and fix fluid leaks. Contact us today to schedule a service appointment.

Like most automobile segments, the SUV continues to evolve, leaving enthusiasts anticipating specific models. Two such vehicles, the 2024 Ford Explorer and the 2024 Jeep Cherokee, stand out for their expected comfort, style, and performance. So, how do they compare to one another?

We asked our SUV experts to delve into what each vehicle offers, helping you understand which SUV best suits your lifestyle. You’ll learn what differentiates these models in a competitive SUV segment.

Design and Aesthetics

Ford makes the Explorer in eight trims, each with unique design characteristics. For instance, the ST-Line and ST have street style cues, while the Timberline model offers off-road design elements. The Platinum trim features the premium flourishes you expect from a top-tier trim.

While the Jeep Cherokee lineup boasts nine models, including the off-road-ready Overland and the luxurious Summit Reserve trim, the 2024 Ford Explorer stands out for its thoughtful design and versatility. Available in two- and three-row configurations, the Explorer maximizes passenger comfort and cargo space more effectively than its Jeep counterpart. Unlike the Cherokee, where opting for a three-row model may not significantly impact cargo space or legroom due to its design choices, the 2024 Ford Explorer ensures that choosing additional seating doesn’t compromise on spaciousness. Its design smartly accommodates both passenger needs and cargo requirements, making it a more practical choice for families and adventure-seekers alike. The Ford Explorer’s profile is sleek, modern, and designed with functionality, ensuring that every model, including the base, offers ample space and comfort.

Ford Explorers have a sleek, bold, and modern style. Sharp lines and elegant curves give the SUV an athletic stance. However, the Cherokee has a more linear facade, trading boldness for refinement.

Engine Performance and Efficiency

You have two engine options for the Ford Explorer. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque and can tow up to 5,300 pounds when properly equipped. On the popular Explorer ST trim, this turbo-four engine gets 21 mpg around town and 28 mpg on the highway.

You can opt for the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 twin-turbo engine with an impressive 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque if you want more power. This powertrain can tow 5,600 pounds and gets 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the freeway.

Jeep has three engines available. The first is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It gets 19 mpg on surface roads and 26 mpg on the interstates. Cherokees equipped with this engine can tow up to 6,200 pounds.

The second is a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder plug-in hybrid engine that produces 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. While the added torque doesn’t equate to increased towing capacity (it can tow 6,000 pounds), it does provide thrilling driving dynamics. It gets 46 MPGe thanks to its electric motor and lithium-ion battery.

Finally, a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, available in three-row models, provides 357 horsepower, 390 lb-ft of torque, and a towing capacity of up to 7,200 pounds. As expected, you exchange fuel economy for power. This powertrain gets 14 mpg on surface roads and 17 mpg on the highways.

Technology and Infotainment

An 8-inch touch screen comes standard in the Explorer with an optional 10.1-inch vertically oriented version on certain trims. Powered by Ford’s Sync 3 Technology and aided by the FordPass Connect system, you have more functionality and connectivity. A wireless charging pad and USB ports throughout the cabin ensure you and your passengers stay fully charged and connected.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enable smartphone synchronization and hands-free operation. Plus, you can add the Ford+Alexa app to your cellphone and bring your favorite home assistant on every trip. Ford+Alexa lets you access voice navigation, traffic information, and Amazon shopping and control your home devices from your vehicle using voice commands.

Jeep uses a standard 8.4-inch touch screen with a 10.1-inch horizontally oriented variant available on specific models. Infotainment runs on the Uconnect system, which includes built-in navigation on certain trims. You also get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability in the Cherokee. Wireless charging and multiple USB ports offer connectivity and charging ability for all.

Explorer and Cherokee SUVs have optional rear-seat entertainment systems, ideal for keeping your passengers entertained on long road trips.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Ford Explorer SUVs have the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assistance technologies. These systems use radar, cameras, and optical sensors to monitor your Explorer and alert you to possible dangers. In some cases, the systems provide emergency brake support and evasive steering to help you mitigate potential accidents.

Jeep Cherokee SUVs have a similar selection of driver-assist systems, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and parking systems. Like the Explorer, these systems alert and engage emergency braking and steering to help you avoid accidents.

Off-Road Capabilities

Explorer models come in rear- or all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations, depending on the trim you select. The Timberline model adds more off-road equipment, such as all-terrain tires, off-road front struts, underbody skid plates, off-road rear shocks, a Torsen rear limited-slip differential, and provisions for auxiliary lighting systems in the front grille.

You also get a Terrain Management system that lets you dial in your throttle, steering, and suspension to match the conditions. The intelligent AWD system sends torque where and when needed for additional control.

Cherokee models have a rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive drivetrain, depending on the trim. Of course, Jeep has a well-earned reputation for four-wheel-drive capability, and specific Cherokee models come with Jeep’s Trail Rated badge. You can customize your Cherokee drivetrain to match the road surfaces and weather conditions.

Price and Value for Money

Ford offers its base Explorer at $36,860 MSRP. The top-of-the-range Platinum trim peaks at $54,770 MSRP. Explorer models deliver exceptional value for the price.

Jeep’s entry-level two-row trim starts at $36,495. The MSRP tops out at $71,040 for the two-row Summit Reserve. However, getting a three-row Cherokee costs $2,000 more. The Cherokee is a great SUV, but we don’t see enough separation in the features to justify the higher cost.

Brand Reputation and Reliability

Both brands have decades of experience manufacturing automobiles you can rely on. The Explorer and Cherokee represent iconic nameplates for their brands, and their legacy is well represented in their 2024 models.

Explore the 2024 Ford Explorer in Brewster, New York

The Explorer and Cherokee cater to different preferences. The Explorer offers more spacious, family-friendly features, making it a compelling choice if you want a versatile SUV for your growing family. Jeep has its four-wheel-drive reputation, and the Cherokee does justice to its legacy. The Cherokee won’t disappoint if you focus more on off-road adventuring.

Ultimately, your decision comes down to what you value in an SUV. Browse our virtual inventory to learn more about the Ford Explorer. Alternatively, you can visit our showroom, speak with one of our SUV experts, and take one for a test drive.

Interior Features

While the F-150 and Silverado provide interior comforts that ensure you enjoy your ride, they have some differences. You may find the materials are of higher quality in the Ford, and the knobs and controls are easier to access. Even in the base F-150 trim you get cloth seating surfaces, while the Silverado only offers vinyl seating in the base trim. In both models, upgrading your trim level offers additional comfort-enhancing features such as heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an improved sound system.

You’ll have a few cab size options with both trucks, and the maximum seating capacity is six people. In the Ford F-150, you can opt for front bucket seats in any trim level, which allows you to add the large center console with storage space and drink holders. The center console doubles as a work surface to give you a place to fill out invoices, type up emails, or whatever else life throws your way.

Exterior Features

The 2024 F-150 and Silverado trucks are two appealing options with assertive and aggressive looks. Depending on your style, you can get your F-150 in one of several paint colors that can make the truck stand out or blend in. Some popular choices include:

• Atlas Blue Metallic.

• Antimatter Blue Metallic.

You won’t have quite as many exterior color options for the Silverado, but some of this truck’s most popular options are:

• Red Hot.
• Glacier Blue Metallic.
• Sterling Gray Metallic.
• Lakeshore Blue Metallic.

The F-150’s Pro Access tailgate is an innovative feature with a driver-side approach swing-out door that lets you easily access the truck bed, even when a trailer is hitched up. You can also get a separation wall that can move along bars on either side to let you configure the space to meet your needs. The Silverado has a functional truck bed with a tailgate that features a step that makes getting in and out of it a breeze.

Safety Features

Safety features and driver-assist technologies are abundant in the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado pickups. Every F-150 comes with Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 technology. This safety suite includes helpful features that make driving and towing less stressful. For example, the blind-spot information system with trailer coverage means you’ll feel safe changing lanes, as the system warns you if there’s someone in your blind spot, even when you’re towing. It also features pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking to help you avoid collisions.

Although the Silverado doesn’t have as many standard safety features, you can opt for the advanced camera with 14 views of your truck’s surrounding area. This camera system can simplify hitching up a trailer. Standard safety features for the Silverado include a following distance indicator and front pedestrian braking.

Technology Features

Whether on the job site, hitting the trails, or cruising to the campground, your 2024 F-150 or Silverado will keep you connected. The F-150 comes with a standard 12-inch capacitive touch screen with swipe capability. It’s compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Use the standard Wi-Fi hotspot to connect up to 10 devices, and the available wireless charger means your devices are always ready to go.

In the Silverado, you can use the standard 7-inch touch screen to connect your smartphone using wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. There are two USB ports in the center console, and upgrading your trim gets you even more USB ports in the cab. Like the F-150, the Silverado has a standard Wi-Fi hotspot, but this one can only support up to seven devices.

Engine Specs

With six different engines, the 2024 F-150 gives you exactly the power you need. Here’s a list of the available powertrains and their horsepower and torque:

• 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6: 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

• 3.5-liter V-6: 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.

• 3.5-liter V-6 (Raptor): 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.
• 5.2-liter supercharged V-8 (Raptor R): 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque.
