Choosing between the Bronco and Bronco Sport comes down to how far off-road you want to go. The Bronco is larger, has more power and a higher ground clearance, perfect for serious off-roading adventures into the Cascade Mountains. The Sport is smaller and is more practical and fuel-efficient, making it perfect for commuting and weekend camping trips to Dash Point State Park.

Design and Dimensions: Size Matters in Off-Road Performance

The Bronco comes in seven trims with two or four doors. A Ford Bronco costs $39,995 MSRP. Bronco’s rugged exterior, wide stance, and all-terrain tires give it an imposing stance. The removable roof and doors are perfect to enjoy the fresh air and brightness of Tacoma summers. Its body-on-frame design supports the engine, suspension, and drivetrain, making it ideal for serious off-road adventures and towing boats or campers on your Tacoma outdoor adventures.

Its ground clearance ranges from 8.3 to 11.6 inches depending on your trim and options. The Ford Bronco Raptor has the upgraded HOSS 4.0 system (High-performance Off-road Stability Suspension), raising the Raptor’s ground clearance to 13.1 inches, which allows you to tackle the most treacherous trails in the Capitol State Forest.

The Bronco Sport has a unibody design, integrating the body and chassis into one cohesive construction. Unibody designs use fewer parts and have a lighter weight, which makes the Bronco Sport a more efficient Tacoma commuter vehicle. With 8.8 inches of ground clearance and up to 23.6 inches of water-fording capability, you can take the Sport on adventures in Wildwood Park.

Interior Space and Passenger Capacity

All Bronco models seat four or five passengers. Four-door Bronco SUVs have 35.6 cu-ft of cargo space that expands to 77.6 cu-ft with the back seat folded, while the two-door has 22.4 cu-ft behind the back seat and 52.3 cu-ft with the seat folded. Every Bronco Sport has four doors and seats up to five passengers. Despite the Bronco Sport’s smaller overall dimensions, it has a generous cargo space of 33 to 65 cu-ft.

Performance and Capability: Where the Differences Shine

You have three engine options with the Bronco and two engine options for the Bronco Sport.

Engine Options and Power Output

Here’s a look at the engine options and power output:

Bronco Engine	HP / Lb-Ft Torque	Bronco Sport Engine	HP / Lb-Ft Torque
2.3-Liter I-4	300 / 325	1.5-Liter I-3	180 / 200
2.7-Liter V-6	330 / 415	2.0-Liter I-4	250 / 280
3.0-Liter V-6	418 / 440	—	—

Transmission and Drivetrain Systems

Both the Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport have standard 4×4 capability and either a seven-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic transmission. The Bronco comes standard with Trail Turn Assist, Trail Control, Trail 1-Pedal Drive, and AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control. Ford’s available HOSS systems provide confident driving and impressive handling in the harshest Tacoma environments, such as the Naches Pass Trail.

Off-Road Performance Capabilities

The Ford Bronco has excellent off-road performance capabilities, including:

• 37 inches of water-fording
• Up to 13.1 inches of ground clearance
• 47.2-degree approach angle

The Bronco Sport’s off-road specs are:

• 23.6 inches of water-fording
• Up to 8.8 inches of ground clearance
• 30.4-degree approach angle

Towing and Payload Specifications

The Ford Bronco can tow up to 4,500 pounds. Combine these figures with the cargo capacity, and the Bronco is your ideal companion on your Tacoma outdoor camping trips, hauling your boat and gear with ease. The Bronco Sport can tow up to 2,700 pounds with the Class II trailer hitch. That’s plenty of power to bring a small camper into the Washington wilds.

Fuel Economy and Efficiency

Bronco four-cylinder models with the automatic transmission have the best economy ratings of 20/22 mpg city/highway. The V-6 engine paired with the Sasquatch Package rates at 17/17 mpg city/highway. Bronco Sport models with the 1.5-liter engine get 25/30 mpg city/highway, and the 2.0-liter engine is rated at 21/27 mpg city/highway.

Technology and Interior Features

Bronco has a 12.0-inch infotainment touchscreen powered by Ford’s SYNC 4 operating system. The SYNC 4 OS has smartphone integration, letting you access your favorite podcasts, stream music, make calls, and more using intuitive voice commands. This hands-free capability lets you keep your eyes on the road or trail ahead instead of fumbling for controls.

The Bronco offers premium cloth or marine-grade vinyl upholstery that makes cleanup simple after a day off-roading with no doors or roof. Higher trims have signature upholstery like plaid inserts and leather-trimmed options. Bronco Sport focuses more on comfortable upholstery for daily driving, offering cloth, premium-trimmed, or leather-trimmed seats.

Both vehicles offer dual-zone climate control systems that let you adjust the temperature for ideal comfort, perfect for the various seasons. Bronco models have a rear climate control system that caters to your back seat riders.

The Bronco and Bronco Sport have plenty of practical in-cabin storage solutions. Bronco has an available MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment) strap system that fits on the back of the front seats. MOLLE has pouches, straps, and hangers to attach your smaller tools and equipment that enhance your outdoor activities like hiking in Mount Ranier National Park.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Ford’s Co-Pilot360 is a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies:

• Pre-Collision Assist with emergency braking
• BLIS Blind-Spot Information System
• Lane Keeping System
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Evasive Steering Assist
• Automatic High Beams
• Rear-view camera system with parking sensors

Available Co-Pilot360 systems include:

• 360-degree camera system
• Reverse brake assist
• Front parking sensors

This standard suite instills confidence while navigating I-5 rush hour traffic. The available driver assistance systems help you navigate tight parking spots around Tacoma or tight trails in the Capitol State Forest.

Which One Should You Choose?

The serious off-road adventurer will want the Bronco and all its rugged equipment to tackle harsh terrain. A casual off-road enthusiast may prefer the Bronco Sport, especially if they plan to use it for daily commutes through the city. Consider what level of 4×4 capability you want and how often you intend to need it. If you need your vehicle for longer commutes, the Bronco Sport is the more economical option.

Drivers looking for family-friendly vehicles often ask us what’s the difference between the Ford Escape and the Ford Edge. On the surface, the answer might seem simple: the Ford Edge is bigger. But there’s a lot more to each of these SUVs than size. Find out which Ford vehicle is perfect for your family’s next road trip through the Pacific Northwest or commute down I-5, or visit us at Titus-Will Ford in Tacoma to compare the Edge and the Escape side by side.

Detailed Size Comparison: Dimensions That Matter for Families

When comparing the Ford Escape vs. Edge, Tacoma families will notice clear size differences. The Edge is a midsize SUV with plenty of space for Costco hauls and sports gear, while the Escape is a compact crossover that can easily maneuver around the North End.

Exterior Dimensions Breakdown

So, between the Ford Edge and Escape, which is bigger? Here’s a side-by-side comparison:

Dimension**Ford EdgeFord EscapeLength 188.8 inches180.1 inchesWidth (Without Mirrors)75.9 inches74.1 inchesHeight68.3 inches66.0 inchesWheelbase112.2 inches106.7 inchesGround Clearance**8.0 inches7.5 inches

Interior Space Analysis

Let’s keep comparing Ford Edge vs. Ford Escape specs by taking a closer look at the interior space. The midsize Edge offers more total passenger volume and cargo capacity for Tacoma families, while the Escape still provides plenty of room for everyday needs. Both vehicles seat five, but neither has a third row. If that’s a dealbreaker, we suggest looking at the Ford Explorer.

Family-Focused Features Comparison

If you have a family, there’s more to consider than just size in the Ford Escape vs. Ford Edge debate. Safety is also a top concern. Both SUVs come standard with Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technology, which includes lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and automated emergency braking. You’ll also find plenty of family-friendly convenience features in the Escape and the Edge, including:

• Multiple storage cubbies and cup holders
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Available WiFi hotspot

There are also a few differences worth pointing out, so here’s a side-by-side features comparison:

Performance and Practicality for Family Life

The Edge offers more power and towing strength, but the Escape excels in terms of fuel economy thanks to its hybrid variant. For daily commutes down I-5, the Escape makes fuel costs easier to manage. But if you’re hauling a heavy camper up Mount Rainier, you might want to opt for the Edge.

Which SUV Better Fits Different Family Scenarios

As we wrap up our Ford Edge and Escape comparison, let’s take a closer look at which model is better suited for different family needs.

• Small families (2-3 people): The Escape is affordable, fuel-efficient, and easy to park in Tacoma.
• Growing families (4-5 people): The Edge offers more cargo room and rear seat space.
• Families with teenagers: The Edge provides extra legroom for growing teens.
• Active families: The Escape Hybrid will get you the best fuel savings on your next Pacific Northwest road trip.

For families with more than two or three kids, we recommend upgrading to the Ford Explorer to unlock third-row seating.

Is the Ford Edge Being Discontinued, and How Does That Affect My Decision?

The Edge was officially phased out in 2025. While new models aren’t being produced, Tacoma drivers can still purchase a used or certified pre-owned Edge with confidence. Titus-Will Ford continues to provide full service, warranty coverage, and genuine parts support so your investment remains safe.

Which Has Better Reliability for Long-Term Family Use?

According to RepairPal, the Ford Escape and Ford Edge both score above average in terms of reliability. Each model costs roughly $600 per year in average repair costs and requires less than one annual trip to the mechanic. That’s great news for Tacoma drivers who need a reliable vehicle to get them around town or travel to Seattle on the weekend.

How Do These Compare To Other Family SUV Alternatives?

We’ve already briefly mentioned the Ford Explorer as an alternative for families who need more seating, but drivers often consider other models like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V when shopping in Tacoma, too. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide which option is best:

Model	Category	Max Cargo Capacity	MPG (City/Hwy)	Seating
Ford Escape	Compact	65.4 cubic feet	27 / 34	5
Ford Edge	Midsize	73.4 cubic feet	21 / 28	5
Toyota RAV4	Compact	69.8 cubic feet	27 / 35	5
Honda CR-V	Compact	76.5 cubic feet	28 / 34	5
Ford Explorer	Midsize	85.8 cubic feet	18 / 26	6–7

What’s the Real-World Difference in Daily Driving?

The compact Ford Escape makes city life easier, especially when you need to find parking near the waterfront at Point Ruston. However, the midsize Ford Edge excels on the open road. Whether you find yourself commuting down I-5 into Seattle or tackling the snowy roads up Crystal Mountain, it has all the power you’ll need.

Final Recommendation: Making the Right Choice for Your Family

So, which is better, the Ford Edge or Escape? It’s time for you to decide. Are you looking for an SUV with more space for passengers and cargo? Then the Edge might be the right fit. Prefer something more nimble and fuel-efficient? The Escape could be the perfect family-friendly option, but there’s only one way to find out. Schedule a test drive at Titus-Will Ford today to get behind the wheel of both of these vehicles and see how they handle on Tacoma’s roads.

Tacoma and its surrounding communities host a vibrant farmers market culture that brings together local growers, artisan food producers, craftspeople, and neighbors seeking fresh, seasonal goods. Whether you’re a longtime Tacoma resident or passing through, you’ll find markets that deliver excellent quality, community spirit, and variety. Below are some of the top picks to know, along with where and when to visit them.

Downtown Anchor: Broadway Farmers Market

The Broadway Farmers Market anchors the downtown Tacoma market scene. Located along Broadway between 9th and 11th Streets, this market runs on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (typically April–September).

What makes Broadway special:

• It draws over 60 vendors lining the street, offering everything from farm-fresh produce to baked goods, prepared foods, specialty foods, and artisan crafts.
• The market is well-connected to downtown transit, and there are local parking options (e.g. Rhodes Center garage, Pierce Transit garage) nearby.
• The organizers make efforts toward accessibility: the market accepts credit/debit, EBT/SNAP, WIC, and participates in SNAP Market Match programs.
• In addition to shopping, the market often includes live music, hot food vendors, and a welcoming atmosphere that turns it into a weekly downtown event.

For more information and the vendor map, see the official Broadway Farmers Market site: Broadway Farmers Market

Neighborhood Favorite: Proctor Farmers Market

If you prefer weekend shopping or want a market that works around your schedule, Proctor Farmers Market is a standout. It operates Saturdays (9 a.m.–2 p.m. during regular season; limited winter hours in January–March) at N. 27th and Proctor Street in Tacoma.

What distinguishes Proctor:

• It’s year-round, though with a reduced winter schedule, so you can access fresh goods even when other markets have closed.
• It’s nestled in a walkable, lively neighborhood of Tacoma, so combining market shopping with nearby cafés, shops, or errands is convenient.
• The variety of goods is strong: you’ll find produce, meats, seafood, artisan foods, and more.
• It participates with Washington nutrition incentives and often includes live music, giving it a community feel.

To check seasonal schedules and vendor details, see the Proctor Farmers Market listings.

Midweek & Eastside Options: 6th Avenue & Eastside Markets

If Thursday (Broadway) or Saturday (Proctor) don’t work for you, the Tacoma Farmers Market system spans additional locations.

6th Avenue (Tacoma Farmers Markets – 6th & Pine)

• This market typically operates Tuesdays, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. (May through September).
• You’ll find familiar staples; produce, baked goods, crafts, flowers, artisan foods, and often the same vendor network tied to the Tacoma Farmers Market umbrella.
• Payment options include credit cards, WIC (Farmers Market Nutrition Program), and senior vouchers.
• You can learn more at Tacoma Farmers Markets

Eastside / Eastside Community Center Market

• In prior seasons, the market has operated Tuesdays, 3–7 p.m., at the Eastside Community Center (1721 E 56th St) during summer months (June through August).
• This move was designed to ensure continued accessibility for the Eastside Tacoma community, following relocation from its previous McKinley Avenue site.
• Vendors generally include produce, specialty food items, and goods similar to those at the other Tacoma Farmers Market venues.

You can often find a rotating schedule or map of these additional Tacoma Farmers Market sites at Tacoma Farmers Markets

Regional Powerhouse: Puyallup Farmers Market

If you’re willing to take a short drive, the Puyallup Farmers Market in nearby Puyallup is often considered one of the must-visit markets in Pierce County.

• It runs Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., typically from April through October.
• With over 150 vendors in peak season and over 360 applications, it offers an expansive array of produce, artisan foods, international flavors, and floral/plant vendors.
• Its layout includes an indoor/outdoor pavilion that mitigates weather disruptions, making it a reliable weekend destination.
• The market’s scale, variety, and reputation make it a regional draw and a favorite among local food enthusiasts.

For details, see regional guides or Puyallup’s local market site (often listed under Pierce County agritourism pages).

Tips for Enjoying Tacoma’s Farmers Markets

1. Arrive Early – The best produce, baked goods, and popular items tend to go early.
2. Bring Reusable Bags & Cash – Though many markets now accept credit cards and EBT/SNAP, small vendors sometimes prefer or require cash.
3. Plan Your Route – If you want to hit multiple markets in a day (e.g. Tuesday 6th Avenue, Thursday Broadway, Saturday Proctor), map them out in advance.
4. Watch for Special Events – Some markets feature live music, cooking demos, kids’ activities, or seasonal events like the Haunted Market.
5. Consult Official Sources – Market schedules can change—official websites or local agritourism pages are your best reference.

Final Thoughts

Tacoma’s farmers market ecosystem is richer than many give it credit for. From the bustling downtown Broadway market to the neighborhood charm of Proctor, midweek flexibility at 6th Avenue, and regional strength at Puyallup, there’s likely a market that fits your schedule, tastes, and neighborhood. Whether you’re shopping for dinner, exploring artisan goods, or simply enjoying a Saturday morning stroll, Tacoma’s markets invite you to connect with local growers, food producers, and neighbors.

Congratulations on finishing college. Now you might be facing your first major adult purchase: buying a car for the first time. It can feel overwhelming when you’ve got student loans, entry-level pay, and hardly any credit history to deal with. But relax, at Titus-Will Ford, we’ve got your back. This guide tells you everything you need to know about owning your first car, from budgeting to insurance considerations, plus some car-buying tips and tricks to help you purchase with confidence.

Understanding Your Postgraduation Budget

Smiling Woman by Joshua Mcknight is licensed with Pexels License

Owning a car costs more than just the sticker price. Monthly expenses include your payment, insurance, maintenance, and gas, which in total can add up to $1,000 or more. Add in student loans and rising living costs, and it’s easy to underestimate how much room you have in your budget.

Credit Basics for Recent Graduates in Tacoma

Your credit score can make or break what type of financing you can get and the interest rates you’re offered. If your score is low or building, don’t panic, you still have options. Having a cosigner or a small down payment available can be a huge help while your credit history is still developing. Getting a secured credit card and making regular payments or becoming an authorized user on a parent’s account can kickstart your credit journey. Getting preapproved for a loan before visiting dealerships will also help you have a clear sense of your budget.

Financing Incentives for New Graduates

Many car makers love new graduates and will be willing to offer you special deals. For example, Toyota offers recent graduates a $500 rebate on all new Toyota models when you finance or lease through an authorized dealer. Similarly, Honda also offers new or soon-to-be graduates $500 toward the finance or lease of new models from 2024 or later. Ford provides an impressive $750 off financing or $500 off leasing on select models, such as the Ford Bronco, Bronco Sport, Escape, and Mustang, while BMW gives recent graduates $1,000 off any new or certified preowned (CPO) car.

Smart Shopping for New Graduates in Tacoma

Tacoma has plenty of local car dealerships, but at Titus-Will Ford on South Sprague, we understand the unique challenges graduates face, and we’re here to help, not use pushy sales tactics. We offer a range of new Fords as well as a selection of used models from different brands, with many under $15,000. Models such as the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic are favorites among new buyers thanks to their reputation for longevity, limited maintenance needs, smooth handling, impressive safety tech, and value retention. Both offer grads what matters most — reliability and efficiency.

CPO cars are also worth considering. They cost more than typical used cars but offer extended warranties and go through detailed inspections. Both Honda and Toyota give you powertrain coverage for seven years or 100,000 miles from the point of purchase, plus additional parts coverage and roadside assistance for a limited time.

Before buying used, always get a prepurchase inspection from a trusted mechanic — it can save you thousands in expensive repairs later on. Take the car for a test-drive, too, to see if it’ll work for your lifestyle. A model such as the Toyota Corolla should feel light and nimble, offering responsive steering and a comfortable ride.

Insurance Considerations for Young Drivers in Washington State

Car insurance is a must, and younger drivers often pay much more. However, some insurers offer discounts to young professionals postgraduation. You can also save money by bundling your car insurance with your renters’ insurance, taking defensive driving courses, or opting for usage-based insurance if you don’t drive much.

The minimum state-required coverage in Washington is $25,000 for bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $10,000 for property damage. However, these limits won’t stretch far in the event of a serious accident. Medical bills and repairs often exceed these amounts, leaving you paying out of pocket. That’s why we recommend full coverage insurance, especially if you’re financing, since lenders typically require it.

Ready To Get Behind the Wheel of Your First Vehicle?

If you’re ready to shop for a vehicle postgraduation, contact us at Titus-Will Ford, where our team gets what new graduates need. We’ll walk you through your options and find you the perfect car that fits your budget, lifestyle, and goals without any sales pressure.

The battle between the 2025 Ford Bronco and the 2025 Jeep Wrangler pits two off-road giants against each other in an all-American showdown. These rugged machines carry decades of terrain-conquering DNA and trailblazing history. If you’re a Tacoma adventurer looking to tackle Olympic Peninsula mud or Cascade Mountain trails, the choice between these two capable SUVs matters — and the differences might surprise you.

Engine Performance and Powertrain Options

The 2025 Bronco holds a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. This base-level engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission for extra smooth handling. The 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine delivers 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, while the Raptor trim’s 3.0-liter turbo V-6 engine cranks out 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. Tuned Raptor variants can reach an impressive 450 horsepower with 510 lb-ft of torque.

The Jeep Wrangler’s standard 3.6-liter V-6 engine produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. You can choose between a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2.0-liter turbo-four engine delivers 270 horsepower with 295 lb-ft of torque, and the Rubicon 392 Final Edition is equipped with a 6.4-liter V-8 engine producing 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.

Off-Road Capabilities: Where Legends Are Born

Ford’s G.O.A.T. Modes system, which literally means “Goes Over Any Terrain,” offers seven driving modes: Normal, Eco, Slippery, Sand, Mud/Ruts, Rock Crawl, and Baja. The Bronco delivers ground clearance of up to 13.1 inches, beating the Wrangler’s 12.9-inch maximum, with approach angles hitting as much as 47.2 degrees. It also wades through water with a depth of up to 37 inches — 3 inches more than the Wrangler’s 34-inch limit.

Jeep’s Rubicon trim offers 10.8 inches of ground clearance with approach angles of up to 44 degrees. The Xtreme Recon Package delivers 47.4-degree approach angles and 40.4-degree departure angles. The Rock-Trac and Command-Trac transfer cases provide solid four-wheel-drive performance, while an electronic sway-bar disconnect allows maximum wheel articulation on technical trails.

On-Road Driving Experience and Handling

The Ford Bronco wins hands down for daily driving comfort. Its independent front suspension makes highway trips and city driving more civilized, and although you won’t get sports-car handling, the Bronco feels more planted when traveling at high speeds. Its modern suspension reduces that tippy feeling over bumpy terrain, while maintaining ground clearance.

The Wrangler drives like a truck, with a bouncy, sometimes jarring ride, especially in two-door models. The four-door versions smooth things out a little, but you’ll still feel every bump. Those removable doors and tops create wind noise at highway speeds — the price you pay for that classic Jeep experience.

Interior Space, Comfort, and Practicality

The four-door Bronco offers 35.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind rear seats and 77.6 cubic feet with them folded. Passenger space in the four-door soft-tops is 108.2 cubic feet, with 36.3 inches of rear legroom. Legroom for front passengers in two-door Broncos is 43.1 inches, while rear passengers get 35.7 inches.

Jeep’s four-door Wrangler provides 31.7 cubic feet of space behind the back row and 72.4 cubic feet with all seats down (slightly less on the 4xe). Two-door models have 12.9 and 31.7 cubic feet of cargo space, respectively. Two-door Wranglers offer front legroom of 41.2 inches and rear legroom of 35.7 inches, while four-door models provide 38.2 inches of rear legroom. Both the Jeep and Ford vehicles feature materials that can handle muddy boots and wet gear. The Bronco, however, offers a more luxurious feel, with marine-grade vinyl available on some trims.

Technology and Infotainment Systems

The Bronco’s standard tech includes wireless connectivity to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi hot spot, Bluetooth, remote start, and a 12-inch digital dash (in higher trims) paired with a 12-inch touch screen running Ford’s SYNC 4 system. Ford’s over-the-air updates provide a future-proofing advantage, and household-style power outlets and wireless phone charging are a huge help on camping trips. There’s also a Bang & Olufsen 10-speaker setup available on higher trims for impressive sound quality.

Jeep’s Wrangler offers a 3.5-inch driver display, Wi-Fi, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and a 12.3-inch touch screen with Uconnect 5. Optional features include a 7-inch digital gauge display, an Alpine 12-speaker audio system, and trail cameras for rock-crawling assistance.

Safety Ratings and Driver-Assistance Features

Ford’s Co-Pilot360 comes standard with forward collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, and a lane-keeping system. Adaptive cruise control is also available.

The 2025 Wrangler offers an advanced airbag system, electronic roll prevention, and stability control. Standard features include a backup camera and hill-start assist. Optional extras include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warnings, and forward collision alerts.

Fuel Economy and Range Analysis

Nobody buys these off-roading vehicles for gas mileage, but it’s still a factor that matters. The most efficient Bronco is the base 2.3-liter turbo, which returns 20 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway — perhaps not the most eco-friendly vehicle out there, but not too bad considering all the drivetrain components and rugged capability you’re getting.

The 2.7-liter V-6 engine’s numbers drop to 17/19 mpg city/highway, and from the Raptor trim, you can expect around 15 mpg in the city and 16 to 19 mpg on the highway, depending on its setup. Plan your gas budget accordingly for those weekend trips to Olympic National Park.

Jeep’s base V-6 engine with manual transmission gets 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway — automatic transmission bumps that up by 1 mpg. The 2.0-liter turbo-four engine returns 20 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, while the fire-breathing V-8 engine burns premium gas at 13 mpg in the city and 16 mpg on the highway. The game-changer here is the 4xe hybrid model, with an EPA rating of 49 MPGe and 21 miles of all-electric range.

Towing Capacity and Utility Features

If you need to tow your boat to Lake Washington or Lake Chelan, most Broncos can easily pull anything weighing up to 3,500 pounds. Choose the Raptor trim, and that number jumps to 4,500 pounds, while the Wrangler Rubicon four-door model can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. If you enjoy a Pacific Northwest adventure, both vehicles offer decent capability for hauling camping trailers or small boats.

Both options include recovery points and tow hooks on the front and rear, so you can get unstuck if needed. The roof and door removal systems allow you to enjoy those perfect summer days, though many owners find the Bronco’s setup more user-friendly for quick changes. Either vehicle includes accessory mounting points to add bike racks, cargo carriers, or extra lighting for those early morning fishing trips or late evening returns from mountain escapes.

Your Off-Road Adventure Awaits

While hardcore rock crawlers might prefer the Wrangler’s solid axle setup and its 500 pounds of extra towing power, for families who need a capable off-roader for weekend adventures and a smooth ride for everyday comfort, the Ford Bronco is the superior option.

Visit or contact us at Titus-Will Ford in Tacoma to schedule a test-drive and experience the 2025 Ford Bronco for yourself. Our friendly team is always happy to give you expert guidance for your Northwest adventures.

If you’re a business owner who uses vehicles for work, you may have options to reduce your tax. How? The answer is section 179. This tax rule allows you to deduct the full purchase price of your work vehicle, although there are criteria and potential limitations you need to be aware of. This guide will explore everything you need to know about section 179 and how it applies to Ford’s commercial vehicles, in Tacoma and beyond.

What Is Section 179?

Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full cost of work vehicles from their taxes. You can deduct the full purchase amount in the same year you began using the vehicle, rather than expensing that cost over several years through depreciation.

Eligibility Criteria for Section 179 Deductions for Vehicles

While most businesses and vehicles are eligible, there are some exceptions.

Who Can Claim the Deduction?

Nearly any business that buys or finances their cars for business use can claim the section 179 deduction. You’ll need to use the vehicle for business purposes over 50% of the time, and you will scale the deduction amount based on your actual use. Sole proprietors, LLCs, partnerships, and corporations can all benefit.

Types of Businesses That Benefit the Most

Industries that rely on equipment or vehicles (such as construction, transportation, landscaping, and delivery services) often use section 179 to reduce tax liability and take advantage of operational upgrades. However, small businesses across other sectors can benefit as well, whether you’re investing in new computers or commercial trucks.

How Section 179 Applies to Commercial Vehicles

Eligible commercial vehicles fall into three categories based on their gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), which determines the section 179 deduction limitations.

Vehicle Category**GVWRExamples2025 Section 179 Limit**Vocational or heavy-duty vehiclesOver 14,000 poundsCement mixers, garbage trucks, large delivery vansUp to full deduction (max $1,250,000 up to phase-out)Heavy SUVs, trucks, and vansBetween 6,000 and 14,000 poundsFull-size SUVs, large pickup trucks, commercial vans$31,300Passenger vehicles and light-duty trucksUnder 6,000 poundsSedans, small pickups, crossover SUVs$20,400

Diving Into Section 179 Vehicle Tax Deduction Limits

Here’s how the deductions work for the 2025 tax year:

• Maximum deduction: $1,250,000 total per tax year
• Phase-out threshold: Begins after $3,130,000 in qualifying equipment
• Heavy SUVs/trucks: $31,300 deduction limit
• Passenger vehicles: $20,400 deduction limit
• Bonus depreciation: 40% additional deduction on costs beyond section 179 limits in 2025

A section 179 deduction can reduce your taxable income, so you have more cash available for other business needs. Importantly, this deduction applies to both new and used qualifying vehicles.

Comparing 2025 to Previous Years: What’s Changed?

The 2025 limit has increased by 2.5% from 2024. The SUV limit rose by $800 to $31,300, and the overall phase-out threshold increased to $3,130,000. Bonus depreciation rates have also been decreased from 60% to 40%.

The “Hummer Tax Deduction” Explained

Section 179 was once jokingly nicknamed the “Hummer tax deduction” because some business owners took advantage of its high limits to deduct the cost of expensive vehicles such as Hummers.

Calculating Deductions for Vehicles Used for Business and Personal Purposes

You’ll get the best benefit from section 179 if you use the vehicle solely for business purposes. If you use your vehicle for personal use too, you’ll need to calculate accordingly. The amount you can deduct is based on the percentage of time you use the vehicle for business. For example, if you only use a truck for work 70% of the time, you can only deduct 70% of the section 179 limit. Make sure you keep thorough documentation of your business use, such as mileage logs and usage records, in case you’re audited and need to prove your business use.

Section 179 and Preowned Vehicles: Are You Eligible?

Both new and used vehicles qualify for section 179 as long as you buy them and put them into service within the same tax year and use them for business at least 50% of the time.

Tax Savings on Preowned Vehicles

There are both pros and cons of using preowned vehicles for tax savings.

Pros

Pros include:

• Lower upfront cost but same tax benefits
• Preowned vehicles and those bought with financing qualify for section 179
• Can claim up to $31,300 in 2025, regardless of new or used
• Can combine with bonus depreciation

Cons

Cons may include:

• Potential maintenance concerns
• Vehicle must be used for business at least half the time
• You must keep detailed records
• Less benefit for purchases over $3,130,000
• Less benefit for passenger vehicles under 6,000 pounds

The Role of Bonus Depreciation in Section 179

Bonus depreciation applies to qualified vehicle costs over section 179 limits or ones that don’t meet it’s eligibility rules. For 2025, you can claim 40% bonus depreciation in addition to section 179 deductions. A common strategy is to apply section 179 up to the deduction limit, and then use bonus depreciation on any remaining cost.

Financing Your Section 179 Commercial Vehicle Purchase

You can deduct vehicles you’ve bought directly or financed. Leasing doesn’t qualify for section 179, but purchasing with loans or other financing methods does. Buying vehicles allows immediate deductions under section 179, while leasing generally results in deductions based on lease payments instead of the vehicle’s full purchase price.

Practical Steps To Claim Your Section 179 Tax Deduction

To claim section 179 tax deductions on your vehicle, follow these steps:

• Keep your purchase invoices and financing agreements
• Track your business vs. personal usage
• Document the date you put your vehicle in service
• Claim the deduction on the tax return for the year you put the vehicle into service (e.g., by December 31, 2025, for 2025 deductions)

FAQs

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about section 179 and vehicles.

Is Section 179 Going Away?

Not that we know of. There is no current legislation that suggests section 179 could be removed.

What Happens If I Don’t Use the Vehicle for Business More Than 50%?

If you use the vehicle for business less than 50% of the time, you cannot claim section 179 deductions. However, you may still qualify for standard depreciation.

Save With Commercial Vehicle Tax Incentives (Section 179)

2025 Ford Escape vs. Toyota RAV4: A Comprehensive Comparison

The 2025 Ford Escape and the 2025 RAV4 are among the most formidable entries in the fiercely competitive compact SUV segment. They deliver performance, reliability, practicality, and technology that make them stand out from their competitors. Neither crossover received any major updates for 2025, but the RAV4 dropped the TRD Off-Road and Adventure trims from its lineup.

While they’re both excellent vehicles, the Ford Escape and the Toyota RAV4 have many differences that distinguish them from each other. If you have trouble deciding between the two, using a car comparison tool and reading car reviews can help you make the right choice. Car comparison specifications show you which vehicle is superior in the areas that matter to you, such as performance, interior space, technology, or safety.

Performance and Efficiency

When you’re shopping for a new vehicle, you need to compare all your engine options to determine which model can best meet your needs. If you choose the 2025 Ford Escape, you have a choice of four powertrains. The standard turbo-three engine is rated at 180 horsepower, and there’s an optional turbo-four that generates 250 horsepower. To save money at the gas station, consider the hybrid four-cylinder with 192 horsepower or the plug-in hybrid powertrain with 210 horsepower.

The 2025 Toyota RAV4’s base four-cylinder engine puts out 203 horsepower, making it more powerful than the Escape’s default option. The RAV4 is also the winner in the Ford Escape Hybrid vs. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid performance comparison. It delivers 219 horsepower with its hybrid powertrain and 302 horsepower with its plug-in hybrid system.

Both the 2025 Escape and the 2025 RAV4 are exceptionally fuel-efficient, but the Ford has a thriftier plug-in hybrid model. The Escape returns up to 27/34 mpg (city/highway) with its standard gas engine, 42/36 mpg with the hybrid, and 101 MPGe with the plug-in hybrid. In contrast, the RAV4 achieves 27/35 mpg with its base engine and 41/38 mpg with its hybrid variant. The EPA estimates the 2025 RAV4 plug-in hybrid achieves 94 MPGe.

Nonetheless, the Escape offers a larger optional touch screen, which is a massive 13.2-inch unit.

The 2025 Roush F-150 turns Ford’s best-selling pickup truck into an even more attractive prospect by pairing the legendary Ford F-150 look and rugged capabilities with Roush Performance’s track-tested motorsport expertise. This isn’t your average pickup truck, it’s a high-performance vehicle that combines work-ready capability with a bold design and raw power. With enhanced off-road features, an aggressive look, and refined street-truck appeal, the 2025 Roush F-150 perfectly blends power and style. Here, our team at Titus-Will Ford in Tacoma will detail the key Roush F-150 specifications so that you can see what this exceptional truck has to offer.

What Makes Roush F-150 Models Stand Out

While the regular F-150 offers versatility with various trims and engines, the Roush variant focuses on pure driving excitement, transforming the standard F-150 into a machine capable of +1G cornering. From the bold Roush high-flow grille with integrated lighting and hood heat extractors to the precision-tuned coil-over suspension and 20-inch satin black wheels wrapped in 33-inch General Tire all-terrain Grabber tires, the Roush F-150 combines performance with style. The F-150’s interior has serialized dash badges, aluminum pedals, and custom floor liners, too.

Interior Design and Comfort

The 2025 Roush F-150’s cabin combines performance-focused design with high-end comfort. The interior boasts distinctive Roush branding, including serialized dash badges that emphasize each truck’s authenticity. The standard interior features durable materials designed to withstand hard use while providing the refinement expected in an upmarket car.

Available seating options include premium leather packages in Coffee Brown & Black or Raven Black configurations, both featuring custom stitching and contrast piping that emphasize the truck’s performance heritage. The seats themselves provide excellent support during lively driving while remaining comfortable during long highway journeys.

Roush aluminum pedal covers not only improve grip and longevity but also provide a sporty aura. Custom-molded floor liners preserve the cabin’s high-end appearance while protecting it from weather-related damage. To add even more luxury and sportiness, you can have carbon fiber accents incorporated into the interior.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The 2025 Roush F-150 features Ford’s most recent 12-inch touch screen, incorporating the latest SYNC 4 software. Standard features, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensure connectivity for communication, audio, and navigation.

Optional upgrades include the Roush Performance Audio System by Alpine, which delivers concert-quality sound. Because this system is specifically calibrated for the F-150’s cabin acoustics, it reproduces music with crystal-clear clarity even when the windows are down or you’re on an off-road excursion.

Power and Performance

The 2025 Roush F-150 is powered by a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that’s fine-tuned by Roush engineers for optimum performance, off-road or on the highway. The engine produces 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The optional Roush Supercharger Kit boosts the truck’s power output to 705 horsepower and 635 lb-ft of torque. The dealer-installed supercharger upgrade gives drivers instant throttle response and thrilling acceleration. The supercharger system is fully compatible with the truck’s existing drivetrain and comes with a full warranty.

Suspension Upgrades and Handling Improvements

The signature Roush Performance coil-over suspension system completely redefines the F-150’s handling characteristics while retaining ride comfort for daily driving. This precision-engineered system provides a 2-inch leveled stance with improved aesthetics and ground clearance for off-road use.

The coil-over enables precise tuning of compression and rebound damping, resulting in controlled body motion during cornering and improved stability during acceleration and braking. Combined with upgraded bushings and mounting hardware, this suspension transforms the truck’s dynamics while preserving its practical capability.

Performance Metrics: Speed and Towing Capacity

The Roush F-150 achieves impressive performance benchmarks that place it among the quickest production trucks available. The standard configuration delivers confident acceleration and responsive handling, while the supercharged variant provides sports-car-level performance with a 0-to-60 mph capability of less than 5 seconds.

Despite its performance focus, the Roush F-150’s towing capacity remains impressive, with properly equipped models capable of towing up to 13,500 pounds. The improved suspension and modified chassis improve towing stability and control, making it a great option if you need both performance and utility.

Customization Packages: Tailor Your Roush F-150

The standard Roush F-150 package includes basic performance and visual upgrades, but additionally, there are numerous customization options available, allowing you to make your vehicle unique. The Signature Graphics Package includes hood graphics, a Jack Roush signature, door graphics and USA flag graphics to highlight the truck’s American performance roots.

The Premium Package provides auxiliary off-road lighting on the front and rear, improving visibility for nighttime exploration. An active exhaust system with multiple sound modes allows you to pick between muted daily driving sound levels and aggressive performance notes. A convenient overhead auxiliary switch panel is included for easy control of aftermarket accessories, while the Carbon Fiber Interior Trim Package adds race-inspired design elements to the interior.

If that doesn’t suit you, improved options include the Roush Premium Leather Package in Coffee Brown & Black or Raven Black, which adds rich textures to the interior. The Roush Performance Audio System by Alpine produces clear, powerful sound. Other options include the Roush Ready Package with a console vault, jump starter, and utility kit; the Roush Bedside Graphic Package in black or silver for exterior flair; and Roush Off-Road Ditch Lights by Diode Dynamics to improve visibility in challenging conditions.

Safety and Reliability

The 2025 Roush F-150 builds on Ford’s comprehensive safety systems while adding performance-oriented enhancements that improve active safety. Standard equipment includes front automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. Optional features expand this protection with 360-degree cameras and advanced trailer assist systems.

Roush backs the 2025 F-150 with an industry-leading three-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty, demonstrating confidence in the modifications and engineering quality. This comprehensive coverage provides peace of mind whether you’re driving to and from work or off the beaten path. The warranty reflects Roush’s commitment to quality builds and customer support.
