Top Vehicles for Holiday Travel

Best Vehicles for Holiday Shopping

 

Gas mileage, handling, horsepower? Sure, they're all important qualities in a reliable vehicle, but anyone who has ever done serious holiday shopping knows cargo space trumps all the qualities! USNews.com put out a top five list of the roomiest vehicles, and therefore best equipped to handle your 2017 holiday purchases, especially the likes of Black Friday shopping. Two Ford models made the list: the Ford Flex and the Ford Expedition. With maximum storage capacity ranging from 116.3 to 130.8 cubic feet, these vehicles are ready for your Christmas tree, tubs of holiday decorations, and gifts for everyone in the family!

The Ford Flex

Ford's Flex model is a unique looking three-row, seven-passenger crossover. It not only offers loads of cargo space, but also plenty of power with a V6 engine, good fuel efficiency, and a long list of modern technology and driver-assist features. The Flex is well worth a consideration if you need a vehicle with a versatile layout. You can fit a lot of people as well as their gear into the Flex. Or, if you need an extra amount of cargo room, the Flex offers rear seats that fold down to offer a near-flat load floor.  If you're shopping for a three-row crossover with space for your stuff and plenty of room for rear passengers, keep the Flex on your short list. 

The Ford Expedition

If you need a vehicle that has towing and hauling abilities, room for many passengers, and an expansive cargo area, the Expedition may be your vehicle! It is a traditional truck-based SUV, and is more rugged than today's crossovers. You will get more than 9000 pounds of towing capacity and a powerful turbo-charged V6 engine.  If both rows of rear seats are folded down, you get a flat floor that offers a whopping 108.3 cubic feet of space, more than a Suburban or Sequoia.  Bottom line: If you need eight-passenger seating, tons of cargo space, and a lot of towing capacity and a lot of room, the 2018 Ford Expedition should be your choice.
