What to Look for When Buying a New Ford in Bedford, VA


Buying a new vehicle is a big move – whether you're upgrading your daily commute, buying your first truck, or getting something the whole family can grow into. At Berglund Ford of Bedford, we know Ford buyers aren’t just looking for a nice ride – they’re looking for value, capability, and a vehicle that’s built to handle life in Bedford, VA, and beyond. So, before you sign on the dotted line, here’s what to focus on when shopping for your new Ford.

Know What You Need

When it comes to buying a new Ford, knowing what you need in terms of your driving habits and lifestyle can be extremely helpful. Browse our lineup and compare with your “musts” to find that perfect vehicle.

  • Commuters often lean toward the Ford Escape, Edge, or fuel-efficient Maverick.
  • Families might go for the spacious Explorer or three-row Expedition.
  • Adventurers and weekend warriors? Look at the Bronco Sport, full-size Bronco, or the rugged Ranger.
  • Truck buyers love the customizable power of the F-150, while the Super Duty handles serious work like hauling, towing, and job site demands.

Ask yourself: Will you be towing? Do you need AWD for winter roads? How many passengers will you regularly carry? What are your tech must-haves?

The answers will narrow your choices and help our team show you models that fit – not just in your garage, but into your lifestyle.

Compare Trims and Packages

With each Ford coming equipped with multiple trim levels, you have options when it comes to comfort, convenience, and price.

For example:

  • The Ford F-150 XL is a solid, no-nonsense work truck.
  • Move up to the XLT or Lariat, and you’ll get more tech, upgraded materials, and added driver assistance features.
  • At the top end, Platinum and King Ranch bring luxury and advanced performance.

Many trims also allow you to add specific packages – like off-road packages, towing upgrades, or premium audio and navigation systems.

If you’re not sure whether to go up a trim or add a package, our team can break down what each includes and what’s worth it based on how you drive.

Check Out the Powertrain Options

One of Ford’s strengths is variety under the hood. Whether you’re after torque, horsepower, fuel economy, or all three, there’s a setup to match.

Here are a few powertrain types you might find across Ford models:

  • EcoBoost® turbocharged engines for great fuel economy without giving up power.
  • V6 and V8 options for trucks and larger SUVs.
  • Hybrid and plug-in hybrid options in models like the Escape and F-150 PowerBoost®.
  • All-electric performance in the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E.

Look Into the Technology

Ford is known for its user-friendly and practical tech that creates a more enjoyable driving experience. Some of its most useful and popular features include:

  • SYNC® 4 Infotainment with Touchscreen Displays
  • Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
  • Ford Co-Pilot360™ Driver Assistance Suite (Standard on Most Models)
  • Available Wireless Charging, Premium Sound Systems, Navigation, and Over-the-Air Software Updates

If safety is your biggest concern, features like a rearview camera, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control can add that extra cushion you’re looking for.
