The Ford Escape Nails the Sweet Spot for Comfort, Efficiency, and Everyday NJ Driving
Isn’t it fun when your morning commute starts with sunshine, pivots to a monsoon, and ends with a surprise detour through a one-way street behind a bakery truck? That’s life in New Jersey for you. And that’s why the Ford Escape made Nielsen Editorial’s list of best gas mileage for NJ commuters. This SUV gets what it means to survive a real Garden State drive.
With up to 30 MPG combined, the Escape is one of the most fuel-efficient gas-only SUVs out there — but don’t let the “efficient” label fool you. This thing is built for the daily grind, from navigating tight Morristown parking garages to blasting through slushy side streets on your way to that “optional” 8:30 a.m. meeting. Available AWD? Check. Tech that doesn’t make you pull over to figure it out? Double check.
Slide inside and you’ll find a quiet, surprisingly roomy cabin that fits your work bag, your kid’s cleats, and the half-eaten granola bar that’s been riding shotgun for three weeks. It’s comfy without being fussy, reliable without being boring, and smart without trying to become your boss. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or just someone tired of watching your gas budget disappear faster than your toll money, the Escape gets the job done.
Take a spin in the fuel-saving Ford Escape at Nielsen Ford of Morristown, and see how this SUV conquers the commute.

If You’re Comparing SUVs, the Ford Escape Might Be the One You Didn’t Know You Needed
Maybe you’re knee-deep in Outlander vs. Rogue reviews, trying to pick your perfect compact SUV like it’s a fantasy football draft. Respect. But if your daily drive includes a little bit of everything — 287 gridlock, Morristown rainstorms, detours that feel like scavenger hunts, and spontaneous Target runs that somehow end in beach chairs — it’s time to test-drive a third contender: the Ford Escape.
With available Intelligent AWD, the Escape handles slick roads and surprise weather like it’s already lived through four Nor’easters and a Jersey ice storm with a name. It’s got the cargo space for a Watchung Reservation weekend, the comfort for Route 24 commutes, and tech that makes rush hour feel a little less like emotional warfare.
Looking to save at the pump? The Escape Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid options bring big-time efficiency without making you feel like you’re driving a glorified lawn mower. More range, fewer pump stops, and more smug glances when gas hits $5 again.
The Escape’s interior is roomy without feeling like you’re piloting a tank, quiet without being eerily zen, and smartly designed for real-life chaos — from school drop-offs to Shore escapes. Plus, the Ford Co-Pilot360® safety suite comes standard, meaning even if the car in front of you forgot how merging works (again), your SUV didn’t.
You’ve seen what the Outlander and Rogue can do. Now come see what happens when your SUV is actually built for Garden State unpredictability — like snow in April, toll booth traffic, and left-lane campers with no exit plan.
Find an Escape for sale in NJ at our Ford dealership in NJ — because flexibility, safety, and style should ride shotgun, not backseat.

What are the Most Reliable Used Cars for NJ Drivers?
Why the Ford Escape Is a First-Time Favorite with Staying Power
In Nielsen Auto Group’s recent article on the most reliable used cars for NJ drivers, the Ford Escape earned its spot for one simple reason: it just makes sense. Especially for first-time buyers who want more than the basics. This model is like the Goldilocks of used SUVs: not too big, not too small, and doesn’t yell at you for not pairing your phone correctly.
When you tap into the Escape for reliability, you’re getting a vehicle that’s compact enough to squeeze into tight spots in Morristown, spacious enough for weekend escapes up Route 287, and smart enough to handle snow flurries, soccer gear, and that one mystery smell that somehow appears every July.
It’s ready for real life — not just the showroom floor lighting and overly enthusiastic sales guy with a tablet.
With available all-wheel drive, strong fuel economy, and user-friendly tech that doesn’t require a PhD in dashboard symbols, the Escape is that rare ride that says, “I got you,” whether you’re commuting, carpooling, or buying your first car with graduation gift money and a part-time job at the bagel shop.
It’s reliable. It’s affordable. And it won’t flake out when the forecast says “chance of slush.” That’s exactly the kind of used vehicle more NJ drivers are looking for — the kind that shows up, holds up, and still has room for your dog, your groceries, and your dignity.
Find a used Escape for sale in our inventory at Nielsen Ford of Morristown, and see why this first-time favorite has serious staying power — no learning curve, no drama, just drive.

Ford Explorer and F-150: Confidence for Every Jersey Job and Commute
In a state where a morning commute can mean anything from black ice in Morristown to standstill traffic on Route 10, you need a vehicle that doesn’t just survive New Jersey roads — it owns them. That’s why Nielsen Editorial named both the Ford Explorer and Ford F-150 top choices in its roundup of vehicles with the best safety features for Garden State drivers. Safety is of the utmost importance in New Jersey because, as you know, adventure can mean a blizzard, a construction detour, or just trying to find parking at the mall.
The Ford Explorer is built with families and adventurers in mind, featuring Ford Co-Pilot360® technology — a squad of smart systems like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®), and a Lane-Keeping System. Add in Intelligent 4-Wheel Drive and an available 360-Degree Camera, and you’re ready for anything from suburban soccer runs to snowy Sussex County backroads.
Meanwhile, the Ford F-150 proves that brute strength and brainpower can go hand in hand. Standard Ford Co-Pilot360® tech combines with features like Pre-Collision Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Coverage — because hauling a load down the Parkway should feel powerful, not panic-inducing. Whether you’re towing heavy gear, navigating muddy job sites, or just powering through a Nor’easter, the F-150 has your back — and your payload.
While Nielsen Editorial’s list gives credit to other strong contenders like the Chevrolet Traverse and Nissan Altima, the Ford Explorer and F-150 stand out for New Jersey drivers who demand rugged performance, top-tier tech, and real peace of mind — whether it’s a weekday commute or a weekend on the move.

What are the Best Work Trucks for NJ Drivers?
Three Trucks, One Badge — Ford’s Got the Job Covered
Some trucks are built for power. Some are built for practicality. Ford builds for all of it. Whether you’re managing a crew in Morristown or rolling solo across Morris County, Ford’s work truck trio — the F-150, Super Duty, and Maverick — covers every task, every budget, and every kind of workday NJ can throw at you. That’s why they were recently featured in Nielsen Editorial’s list of best work trucks for NJ drivers.
Let’s start with the classic: the F-150. Tough enough to tow serious weight, smart enough to make trailer hookups feel like a video game, and efficient enough to keep your gas budget in check — especially if you go with the PowerBoost™ hybrid. It’s the kind of truck that shows up early, stays late, and never needs a micromanage.
Need to go even bigger? The Super Duty (F-250 & F-350) is the diesel-powered heavy hitter made for concrete mixers, trenchers, and anything else that puts a strain on a less serious truck. Whether you’re working off Route 10 or hauling gear across state lines, this rig doesn’t break a sweat.
And then there’s the Ford Maverick — a compact hybrid that’s part pickup, part genius move. Perfect for delivery runs, supply stops, and tight city streets where parallel parking is a contact sport. It gets the job done without eating your whole gas budget or garage.
Three trucks, three styles, one goal: keep NJ pros moving.

The Ford Expedition: Because Your Family’s Schedule Has No Chill
Between school drop-offs, weekend road trips, and those “quick” Target runs that somehow take two hours, you need an SUV that works as hard as you do. That’s why the Ford Expedition was named Best 3-Row SUV for Convenience & Features by Nielsen Editorial — because wrangling your daily chaos shouldn’t be harder than finding parking at the Short Hills Mall on a Saturday.
For anyone with a full crew, the Expedition delivers convenience through three spacious rows that fit up to eight passengers comfortably. That means there’s plenty of room for kids, their friends, and that one sibling who refuses to pack light. Plus, the power-folding third row and hands-free liftgate mean loading up for a weekend in the Poconos or a Costco run in East Hanover is effortless — even when your hands are full of snack bribes.
Keeping the peace on long Parkway drives is also easier in the Expedition. The SYNC® 4 infotainment system with a 15.5-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™, and an available rear-seat entertainment system means the kids can zone out to their favorite shows while you finally get through a podcast without interruptions.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E: Because Your Rideshare Should Feel More Like a Joyride
Who says rideshare vehicles have to be boring? If you’re tired of driving the same old sedans and SUVs that blend into traffic like a beige minivan in a Costco parking lot, it’s time to shake things up. The Ford Mustang Mach-E is bringing something new to the rideshare world — premium electric performance, SUV-level comfort, and cutting-edge tech for Uber and Lyft drivers who want to stand out, save on fuel, and actually enjoy their time behind the wheel. It’s no wonder this all-electric SUV earned a spot on Nielsen Editorial’s Best Electric Vehicles for Rideshare in NJ.
With up to 312 miles of range per charge, the Mustang Mach-E lets you tackle long shifts without turning “Where’s the nearest charger?” into your most-Googled phrase. And when you do need to power up, fast-charging capability means you’ll be back on the road in no time — because every minute spent waiting is a minute you’re not making money. Inside, passengers will love the spacious cabin, silent ride, and modern tech, while you’ll appreciate the smooth handling and instant acceleration that turns merging onto the Turnpike into an actual thrill.

Ford Escape & Mustang Mach-E: Alternatives to Compact Cars With Way More Space & Power
NJ driving demands a special kind of vehicle. It’s nice to have enough space for that “quick” Costco run that turns into something more. It’s great to have a high driving position so you can see over the chaos of NJ traffic. And all-wheel drive is clutch when winter sneaks up on us (again). That’s why the Ford Escape and Ford Mustang Mach-E make great alternatives to the compact cars recently featured by Nielsen Editorial. These smaller SUVs give you compact car-like efficiency — while packing a bigger punch. They let you handle with confidence anything New Jersey throws your way, from jughandles to potholes to that last-minute Poconos road trip.
The Ford Escape is built for NJ drivers who want great gas mileage without feeling like they’re squeezing into a shoebox. With multiple powertrain options, including a hybrid that gets up to 40 MPG combined, the Escape lets you spend less time at the pump and more time dodging traffic on the Turnpike. Its compact size makes city parking a breeze, while the spacious interior and flexible cargo area make everything from carpooling to Target runs way easier than a sedan.
For drivers ready to go fully electric, the Mustang Mach-E brings EV efficiency with Mustang-inspired performance — because who says going green can’t be fun? With up to 312 miles of range, you can handle your daily commute, Shore weekends, and detours around random road closures without ever stopping for gas. And thanks to instant torque and available eAWD, the Mach-E makes highway merges, rainy-day drives, and surprise snowstorms feel effortless — which is more than we can say for most NJ drivers in bad weather.
Whether you’re looking for a fuel-efficient hybrid or an all-electric thrill ride, the Ford Escape and Mustang Mach-E give you the size, efficiency, and tech to upgrade your drive — without sacrificing agility. Visit our NJ Ford dealership to test drive both and see which one fits your NJ lifestyle best.
