Shopping for Ford SUVs in Martinsville, IN? At Ray Skillman Hoosier Ford, we carry a Ford SUV for just about every kind of driver, whether you need an easy commuter, a three-row family hauler, or a trail-ready 4×4 built for weekend escapes.
From quick runs around town to a straight shot up I-69 toward Indianapolis, our team helps you match the right SUV to your daily routine. We listen first, skip the pressure, and keep the whole process simple. Here is a quick look at how our Ford SUVs stack up and who each one suits best.
The Escape is our go-to compact SUV for drivers who want efficiency without giving up space. You can choose from a turbocharged gas engine, a fuel-sipping hybrid, or a plug-in hybrid that delivers about 37 miles of electric range before the gas engine kicks in. With a sliding second row, a roomy cargo area, and standard Ford Co-Pilot360 safety tech, it is a smart choice for commuters and smaller families who care about fuel efficiency.
Think of the Bronco Sport as the adventurous cousin of the Escape. It pairs standard all-wheel drive, a terrain management system, and real ground clearance with a footprint small enough to park downtown. For drivers who split their time between city errands and weekend trips to spots like Morgan-Monroe State Forest, it strikes a nice balance, and the available Badlands and Sasquatch setups add even more off-road hardware.
When the trail gets serious, the Bronco answers. This body-on-frame 4×4 offers removable doors and a removable roof, available locking differentials, and G.O.A.T. drive modes that adjust to sand, mud, and rocks. You can choose a two-door for a classic feel or a four-door for extra room and easier rear-seat access. It is built for drivers who treat the weekend as a reason to get off the pavement.
The Explorer remains one of America’s favorite three-row SUVs, with room for up to seven. Two EcoBoost engine choices balance everyday efficiency or stronger V6 muscle, and a properly equipped Explorer tows around 5,000 pounds for a small camper or boat. A newer Tremor option adds off-road tuning, while available BlueCruise hands-free driving eases long highway stretches. Ford no longer builds a hybrid Explorer for retail buyers, though earlier hybrid models do turn up among our pre-owned selection.
For drivers who need maximum space, the Expedition delivers. This full-size SUV seats seven or eight, and the longer MAX version stretches cargo room even further. A twin-turbo V6 gives it the muscle to tow close to 9,600 pounds when properly equipped, so hitching up a camper or boat is no trouble. With three roomy rows and plenty of comfort features, it is made for families who do everything together.
The all-electric Mustang Mach-E brings a different kind of energy to the lineup. Depending on the configuration, it travels up to roughly 320 miles on a charge, and instant electric torque makes merging and passing feel effortless. A large center touchscreen and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving keep things easy on longer trips. For drivers ready to go electric without giving up style or space, it is a compelling choice.
Not every driver wants a brand-new SUV, and that is where our Ford Certified Pre-Owned models come in. Each one goes through a thorough multi-point inspection by our factory-trained technicians, comes with a limited warranty, and includes a vehicle history report so you know exactly what you are getting. It is a great way to drive home a recent Escape, Explorer, or Bronco Sport for less than the cost of a new one. If you have your heart set on a hard-to-find option like an older Explorer Hybrid, our pre-owned lot is the best place to look. Browse our selection online or stop by to take one for a spin.
Local roads ask a lot of a vehicle. One day you are crawling through downtown traffic, the next you are merging onto I-69 for a faster trip north, and on the weekend, you might be heading out toward the lakes and state forests that make this part of Indiana so easy to love. Our Ford SUVs handle all of it, with all-weather capability, strong safety scores, and the cargo room that real life demands. Whatever you drive home, our team is here long after the sale with factory-trained service and genuine Ford parts.
