See the Ford Lineup at the 2019 Michigan International Auto Show

February 01, 2019 · 6 min read

West Michigan's extreme winter weather hasn't put a damper on this year's Michigan International Auto Show at DeVos Place. Borgman was impressed by the turnout, and loved chatting with enthusiasts and casual shoppers about the latest and greatest additions to the Ford lineup! With Grand Rapids Public Schools being closed for the week, kids of all ages and their families crowded the venue to check out cool cars like the 2019 Mustang GT Convertible or go for a "spin" on the Ford Forza Simulator.

Below, we've rounded up a few of the New Ford Cars, Trucks, and SUVs you can see on display at the auto show, and if you'd like to test drive them please drop by for a visit anytime! Our staff will be more than happy to help you.

The All-New 2020 Ford Explorer

Taking center stage at Ford's sprawling display was the prototype of the upcoming 2020 Ford Explorer SUV, due out in mid to late summer this year. This latest version is clad in a stunning, newly-redesigned exterior and bears an overwhelming number of new or updated features. Under the hood, the 3.0L turbocharged EcoBoost® V6 engine promises this will be the most powerful Ford Explorer to date, and holds numerous improvements to the Terrain Management System as well.

Visitors peered into the cabin of the new model at the impressive 10.1" portrait-mounted touch screen on the center console as well as the high-quality fit and finish of the upholstery and accents. The All-New 2020 Ford Explorer is here, be on the lookout for the new model this summer at Borgman Ford.

Below are more exciting models you can see at the 2019 Michigan International Auto Show at DeVos Place this weekend:

The All-New 2019 Ford Ranger Pickup

Complete with its own scenic display, the gleaming-white 2019 Ford Ranger sat a just few paces away with another gray model close by. The return of the Ford Ranger has been hotly anticipated by West Michigan truck fans, and many took the opportunity to get in and look around the cabin.

The New 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat

On the more premium end of the Ford F-Series is the 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat. Featuring a sleek chrome grille, leather-trimmed, heated and ventilated 10-way power-adjustable front seats, and an 8" LCD productivity screen makes this the perfect truck for work or play in West Michigan.

The New 2019 Ford F-150 STX

This 2019 Ford F-150 donning the STX appearance package comes complete with a sporty black mesh grille, machined aluminum wheels, a number of interior upgrades, and SYNC® 3. This package also includes body-color bumpers, privacy glass and STX badging.

The New 2019 Ford Mustang

The legendary Ford Mustang has been a fan favorite for decades, and you can see two of them on display here. Sit behing the wheel of the 2019 Mustang Convertible or the 2019 Mustang Coupe and visit us to experience the raw power of their 5.0L V8 and the smooth shifts of the 10-speed automatic transmission - faster than a manual!

The New 2019 Ford Edge ST

This is the first Ford SUV built by Ford Performance, producing 335 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque - all thanks to the powerful 2.7L V6 turbocharged EcoBoost® engine under the hood.
