If youāve been watching the horizon for the next wave of Ford models, your timing is perfect. The 2026 lineup is rolling in soonāand whether you’re eyeing a rugged F-150 or a family-friendly Explorer, Hillsboro Ford is your local launch hub.
Letās break down what to expect and when, so you can drive off in that exciting, fresh-off-the-factory Ford without missing a beat.
Why Timing Matters for You
1. Beat the Rush ā Get First Dibs
Landing the newest model early means more of your preferred trim, color, and options are available. Plus, thereās something exciting about being one of the first to cruise the roads in a brand-new ride.
2. Maximize Resale Value
The sooner you get into a new model, the longer you can enjoy that low depreciation rate that brand-new vehicles carry.
3. Seasonal Readiness
Spring SUV arrivals align with camping and road trip plans. Summer truck releases shine during construction seasons. Winter drop-ins include AWD or EV options to beat the snow. Timing your purchase means a better drive and more convenience.
