They’re pretty excited at Candy Ford about a new arrival: The Mustang Mach-E, Ford’s new all-electric automobile. This five-seat SUV features an all-electric powertrain that combines sports car performance with zero-emission driving, Dan Dipple, sales consultant, explained. 

With a driving range of 230 miles, the Mustang Mach-E also has the Phone-As-A-Key technology that will recognize the owner’s smartphone and is very quick to charge. It has two available battery sizes and offers either rear- or all-wheel drive.

“The Mustang Mach-E is one of the most exciting vehicles Ford has ever introduced,” Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe said. It was selected as the North American Utility Vehicle of the year for 2021. 

The new 2021 Ford Bronco Sport is another exciting new vehicle that can be found at Candy Ford. It will soon to be joined by the larger 2021 Ford Bronco. The entire Bronco family was designed, engineered, and “built for adventure,” and is making a long-awaited return. These vehicles were created to take you on adventures outdoors and off the road. 

For your convenience, you can reserve your new Bronco on the Candyford.net website. A deposit will save your model selection and will reserve you a spot when your all-new Bronco or Bronco Sport becomes available to order.

“Candy Ford,” Dipple said, “is a family-friendly local dealership that gives a lot back to the community. I have to give the Dykstras credit; they are always giving back.”
