The Explorer Limited strikes an impressive balance between efficiency and performance. With the 2.3L EcoBoost® engine delivering 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, you’ll find yourself visiting the pump less frequently without sacrificing the power you need for confident driving. Four-wheel drive provides traction in varying conditions, while the responsive steering and independent suspension deliver a composed ride whether you’re navigating city streets or exploring beyond them.

Inside, this Explorer prioritizes your comfort and convenience with meticulous attention to detail. The leather captain’s chairs adjust to your exact preferences thanks to the memory driver’s seat, warming you on cold mornings or cooling you when temperatures climb. Heated rear seats ensure all passengers enjoy the journey, while the dual-zone automatic climate control allows front occupants to set independent temperatures. The steering wheel itself is heated, and the power tilt and telescoping column means you’ll find your ideal driving position easily.

Technology integrates seamlessly into daily life through SYNC® 3, which works with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to keep you connected safely. The voice-activated navigation system uses real-time data to guide you efficiently, while the Bang & Olufsen sound system transforms your drive with exceptional audio clarity. The power-folding third Row seat and hands-free foot-activated liftgate simplify loading and unloading, making this Explorer genuinely practical for active lifestyles.

Safety is built throughout this vehicle with electronic stability control, traction control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and an array of airbags positioned for comprehensive protection. The exterior parking camera provides visual confirmation when reversing, while the SYNC® 3 emergency communication system offers added peace of mind.

Whether you’re searching for a rugged F-150 to tackle the trails in Glenwood Springs or an efficient Explorer for family adventures in Grand Junction, our meticulously curated new vehicle inventory is designed to meet the unique demands of Colorado drivers. Explore our latest arrivals below and discover why drivers from across the valley trust us for a transparent, award-winning car-buying experience.

The Workhorses (F-Series Trucks): At Columbine Ford, our truck experts help you match the right Ford truck to your specific job requirements. Whether you need an F-250 or F-350 Super Duty engineered for the oil fields of Vernal UT, or a heavy-duty fleet for natural gas operations in Parachute and Battlement Mesa, we have the inventory ready to work. For the high-torque demands of the energy industry in Craig or the rugged reliability needed for hauling hay in Meeker and Rio Blanco County, the Ford F-Series is the Western Slope’s choice for performance. Visit Columbine Ford in Rifle to see how we power the industries that move Colorado and Utah.

  • F-150: America’s mobile office and heavy lifter. From its innovative Pro Power Onboard to its high-strength, military-grade body, it is the benchmark for how a truck should work and play.
  • Maverick: The pickup for people who never thought they’d own a pickup. Unbeatably efficient and endlessly customizable, it’s the perfect DIY companion for city living and home projects.
  • Super Duty (F-250SD / F-350SD / F-450SD): When the job is measured in tons, not pounds. These are the kings of the construction site and the ranch, engineered with legendary torque to move the heaviest trailers in the world.

 

The Adventurers (Off-Road & Trail): Whether you’re hitting the slopes in Steamboat Springs, Aspen, or Vail, Ford models offer the perfect blend of 4WD capability and interior comfort. For larger groups, the Expedition MAX provides the extra room and convenience needed to make long mountain trips stress-free with space for everyone’s gear. Planning on hitting the technical trails in  Mesa County, or unloading at the world-class bike trails in Fruita? The Ford Bronco delivers the ground clearance and rugged 4×4 power required for adventures in Gunnison and beyond. At Columbine Ford, our inventory is stocked with the right vehicles for your next adventure.

  • Bronco: The undisputed icon of the wild. Engineered for those who see “no outlet” signs as an invitation, featuring removable doors and G.O.A.T. Modes™ to conquer everything from deep sand to jagged rocks.
  • Bronco Sport: The “Baby Bronco” that’s big on grit. Perfectly sized for the urban grid but spiritually at home on the trailhead, featuring a washable interior and enough roof-rack capacity for your weekend gear.
  • Ranger: The versatile athlete of the Ford truck family. Ready to navigate tight city streets on Friday and haul your dirt bikes to the mesa on Saturday without breaking a sweat.

 

The Family Explorers (SUVs): Built for Everyday Life on the Western Slope at Columbine Ford, we understand that Colorado life is busy and demanding. Whether you’re shuttling the team to a soccer game in New Castle or Silt or heading to Eagle or Gypsum to grab groceries for the week, you need a vehicle that keeps up. From school drop-offs in Montrose to navigating snowy winter commutes, we have the right SUV for your family’s needs. Our selection of AWD and 4WD vehicles is engineered to provide the safety, traction, and peace of mind your family deserves, no matter what the Colorado weather throws your way.

  • Escape: Your stylish partner for the daily hustle. It blends compact agility with surprisingly clever cargo solutions, making it the go-to for grocery runs, school drop-offs, and efficient weekend getaways.
  • Explorer: The ultimate family multi-tool. With three rows of seating and available intelligent 4WD, it’s built to ferry the whole team to practice or find that secluded campsite at the end of a forest road.
  • Expedition: Grandeur without compromise. Designed for families who go big, offering cavernous interior space and enough towing power to bring the boat or the camper along for the ride.

 

The Icons (Performance & Innovation): Whether you’re making a statement in the “Tech Valley” of Aspen and Pitkin County, or cruising through Basalt, the Mustang Mach-E features the cutting-edge tech—like hands-free BlueCruise—to help you stand out. For those exhilarating mountain drives through Vail and Edwards, the high-performance Mach-E GT delivers instant electric torque and sustainable innovation without compromising on luxury. But let’s not forget the soul of American muscle: the Mustang GT. With its legendary 5.0L V8 engine, there’s no better way to experience a sunset cruise through the scenic Palisade wine country. At Columbine Ford, we cater to “The Grid” enthusiasts who demand a blend of classic heritage and electrified future. Discover the perfect icon for your high-end lifestyle today.

  • Mustang: Not just a car, but a heartbeat. Whether you’re carving canyon roads or cruising the boulevard, the Mustang delivers a raw, visceral driving experience that has defined American performance for generations.
  • Mustang Mach-E: Soul-stirring performance meets the electric future. It’s an all-electric SUV that doesn’t just save on fuel—it delivers instant torque and futuristic tech that makes every drive feel like an event.

 

The Professionals (Commercial Vans): Ford Commercial & Fleet Solutions at Columbine Ford, our dedicated Commercial team is here to assess your business needs and match you with the right tool for the job. Whether you require a Transit-250 configured for reliable medical transport in Grand Junction or a high-efficiency service fleet, we have the expertise to help.
