As a family in beautiful British Columbia, an SUV is a great option for daily school runs in Chilliwack to weekend adventures to Whistler in the winter. It needs to be safe, spacious, and reliable—all while keeping the kids entertained.

At Chilliwack Ford, we know a thing or two about family-friendly vehicles. While there are many great options on the market, we’ve broken down our top three Ford SUVs that are perfect for growing families in BC.

1. The Ford Explorer: The Versatile Family Adventurer

The Ford Explorer is a staple for a reason. It’s the ideal mid-size SUV that balances comfort and capability, making it a perfect fit for a family with a busy, active lifestyle.

Drive with confidence, knowing your family is protected.

Every Explorer comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™, a suite of driver-assist technologies including Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, a Lane-Keeping System, and a Rear View Camera.

Space for camp trips to Home Depot for that reno project!

With seating for up to eight passengers and an incredible amount of cargo space, the Expedition can handle everything from hockey bags to camping gear and more. The flexible third-row seating also allows for a long center aisle to easily accommodate all of those extra items

You’ll feel confident tackling any BC terrain.

The standard 3.5L EcoBoost® engine delivers robust power, making towing a boat to Cultus Lake or a trailer for your next move a breeze. With available Intelligent 4WD, the BC terrain is at your fingertips.

It comes with a table!? The available Ford Split Gate offers a new level of versatility, allowing the upper and lower gates to open independently. Plus, the available 360-Degree Zone Lighting system is perfect for setting up camp or a tailgate party after dark.

3. The Ford Escape: The Efficient Urban Explorer

If your family is still growing or you spend most of your time navigating city streets and are looking for a fuel-efficient option, the Ford Escape is a fantastic choice.
You could save on gas prices!  The Escape’s compact size makes it perfect for maneuvering through downtown traffic without the heavy gas bill. With available hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, you can significantly reduce your trips to the gas station and save on fuel costs.

Technology & Safety.

 Don’t let its size fool you—the Escape is packed with smart safety features and technology. From the available Panoramic Vista Roof® that lets in natural light to Ford Co-Pilot360™ for added security, it’s designed with your family in mind.

Surprisingly Spacious.

The Escape offers a surprising amount of cargo space, with up to 65.4 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. It’s perfect for grocery runs, weekend getaways, or hauling your essentials without the bulk of a larger SUV.
