One of the benefits of living in Indiana is the vast number of places to explore in a new vehicle. Whether you’re navigating through the busy streets of downtown Indianapolis or testing your off-roading skills at the Badlands Off Road Park in Attica, there’s a Ford for every type of adventure in the Hoosier State. If you’re an Indiana resident in the market for a new Ford, you may have wondered, “Is there a Ford dealership near me?” Well, look no further than Pearson Ford, your premier Ford dealer, located in Zionsville, IN, where we invite you to take a look at our impressive selection of Ford vehicles for every type of driver. In the meantime, let’s look at a few of our standout models and where you can take them in this great state once the keys are in your hand and you’ve driven your brand-new Ford off the lot.

Where to Take Your 2022 Ford Explorer

Ford Explorers are titled very appropriately; they love to explore! They’re great for the adventure lover in all of us, and if you’re thinking your Ford Explorer needs to get out of the garage for a bit, then Zionsville has some great places for you to take it. Your family will love the various camping locations across Zionsville and the surrounding areas, such as the popular White River Campground in Cicero. Camping is an incredible and immersive outdoor experience, and the 2022 Explorer is made to be able to experience that type of environment to the fullest.

The 2022 Explorer comes with four different engine options, one of which is a hybrid. This versatility translates into more eco-friendly driving and a reduced carbon footprint. These are both great qualities to have in a vehicle that is helping you enjoy some of Zionsville’s best campgrounds. Even if you don’t opt for the hybrid engine, the Explorer is still relatively environmentally minded for a three-row SUV. The non-hybrid option can still match the hybrid engine’s 28 MPG fuel rating when driving on the highway, which is impressive. So regardless of what engine you choose, you can feel good about how much fuel you’re using and won’t have to worry about having a ton of extra gas cans to keep it topped off.

Your Explorer can also handle quite a load, so if you feel like turning a tenting trip into a camp trailer trip, you can hook up as much as 5,600 lbs and take it out with you. If you’re a bit worried about overworking your Explorer because it’s loaded with kids and a trailer, it can accommodate up to 87.8 cu.ft. of storage. This is plenty of room for sleeping bags, clothes, chairs, a tent, and anything else you might need. Your Explorer is made to get you and your family outside and exploring, so don’t worry, the Explorer can handle whatever nature throws at it.

Trucks love to play but are also built for work, so there are quite a few options where you could take your new F-150. You could easily visit the nature reserves and parks that are here local and beyond. Places like the nearby trailheads and campgrounds are great opportunities for you to show off how tough and powerful your 2022 F-150 is. Your F-150 will gladly tow your trailer weighing up to 14,000 lbs, so you don’t have to worry about leaving behind any essentials. The other great part about the 2022 F-150 being your outdoor adventure vehicle is the truck bed. You can easily fit 2 dirt bikes or a four wheeler in the bed without overloading it. Its payload maximum is 3,325 lbs which will accommodate this without any issue.

The new F-150s get great gas mileage, with its best combined MPG sitting at 25. This allows you to expand how far you can go without spending a ton of money. So if you’ve got dirt bikes or quads that need a good stretch, you could go out of Zionsville and hit the off-road setting. There’s a few different areas out of town that are all set up to allow you, your toys, and your F-150 to have a blast. If you really want to showcase your Ford F-150’s truck bed, the Zionsville Farmers Market is a great place to emphasize how much you can fit in your F-150’s 8-foot bed. You can get all the locally grown produce, handmade goods, and home decorations you want without worrying about space. We’re sure your Ford F-150 will love getting you out to support local businesses and getting to take a day off of work to go and enjoy all the outdoor fun Zionsville and the surrounding areas offer.

Enjoy a Night on the Town in a 2022 Ford Escape

The 2022 Escape is the perfect combination of compactness and comfort. It allows your driving experience to be much more flexible by being able to fit into tight spaces while still allowing plenty of leg and headroom for everyone in the vehicle. If you’re looking for a fun place to let loose from the week’s stress, you should consider taking your Escape to some of the local wineries. If you’re doing a girls’ or guys’ night, a compact SUV like the Escape can comfortably take you and four friends out on the town. If you can’t find a designated driver or have tastes that steer you more towards the dessert form of comfort, we suggest The Scoop ice cream shop.

Your Escape allows you to forget about the worry about driving long distances because it gets great fuel efficiency. Able to go as far as 503 miles on a single tank of gas, the Escape can take you to wherever you need to go to be able to relax. Zionsville offers many Spas, like the Woodhouse, which can occasionally be very busy; however, the Escape’s versatility allows you to fit into any cramped parking lot with ease.
