Has your engine begun to cough and sputter? Is it taking longer to start in the morning? It may be time to replace one or more of your spark plugs, which are crucial for the combustion process to work. Here’s a guide to Ford spark plug replacement and how long each type of spark plug lasts. 

Copper Spark Plugs

The most widely used spark plugs are made of copper, typically with nickel alloy at the electrodes. These metals are wonderfully conductive for electricity but also have the broadest electrode diameter, which requires more current draw for each spark. As copper and nickel alloy are softer metals, copper plugs wear down fastest and will usually need to be replaced every two years (20,000 to 30,000 miles).

The long-awaited reintroduction of the iconic Ford Bronco in 2021 was met with great enthusiasm by drivers, thanks to the SUV’s long tradition of rugged reliability and versatility. This year’s 2025 Ford Bronco builds upon that legacy with exciting features that will cement the SUV as a favorite of drivers for years to come.

An Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly 2-speed transfer case is at the heart of the system and provides three selectable modes that allow drivers to adjust the torque to each wheel and adapt to real-time road conditions.
