I bought Durand Ford and reopened it as Bryden Ford on February 8, 1991. I was the youngest Ford dealer in the country at age 24 (maybe the youngest dealer of any brand). In 1998, we completed our new facility - because we had way outgrown our previous facility. I created a Daredevil character named, Scotty B. Ryden who became regionally famous for his stunts. Since about 2011, I have cut back on advertising because we have many, many loyal customers who frequent our Sales, Service, & Parts Departments. I hope I can count you among our loyal fans, guests, and promoters. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.

Don’t waste your time at big city dealers!!!! Went to Rockford Ford and also Janesville Ford. They both knew nothing about F-250/350 trucks and how to spec them out based on my needs. I wasted hou Went to Rockford Ford and also Janesville Ford. They both knew nothing about F-250/350 trucks and how to spec them out based on my needs. I wasted hours/days that I will never get back. Met Kiefer at Bryden Ford in Durand, while looking at used trucks in parking lot. He knew everything about big trucks and we narrowed down my needs in 30 minutes. They happened to have a 2016 F-350 that was a perfect fit for me! They provided a fair price on my trade in and fair selling price on my new truck. Deal was done in about an hour. Also met Scott Bryden the owner: honest people and easy to work with. No B.S. at this dealership!!!! More

Mr Bryden is just another "USED CAR SALESMAN"; MILEAGE ISSUE I will NEVER Buy another Thing from this Arrogant xxx of a Dealer as I have purchased dozens of vehicles in my lifetime and these guys take the cake. I will NEVER Buy another Thing from this Arrogant xxx of a Dealer as I have purchased dozens of vehicles in my lifetime and these guys take the cake. After depending on Mr Bryden's sales manage, Jeff to be my eyes and ears on a King Ranch F 250 truck I could not see and he has his own wife Rene drive the car to me in Florida, it arrived with: 1) Broken AC Compressor 2) Broken Shifter that could make the truck jump into Reverse. 3) A Locked Up Rear Caliper and a Left Rear Brake lining that was Swiss Cheese 4) Bald Rear Tires 5) Diesel Puffing 6) Broken CD player All in All it cost me over $3,800.00 So the Savings of Purchasing Out of State were wiped out Plus I had the hassle of running around getting everything repaired that THIS IDIOT should have done. So basically this dealership sent the GM's wife on a trip without properly checking the safety of the vehicle and not only put her life in jeopardy but mine as well as I towed and could not figure out why the brakes were not stopping. UPDATE: I now have found out that the MILEAGE HAS BEEN ROLLED BACK 75,000 miles ON THIS VEHICLE RIGHT BEFORE Mr Bryden bought the Truck making this Truck a 200,000 MILE Truck. NO WONDER 2,000 miles Into Owning the Truck the HEAD GASKET AND BOTH HEADS FAILED OUT OF STATE ON ME AND COST ANOTHER $6,000.00. What is a FORD DEALER Doing Selling a Truck with Mileage and Other Above Issues? Because Scott Bryden is an Greedy Arrogant xxx. That's why. After politely explaining this to the owner Mr Bryden, he was so arrogant in his email that it prompted me to write this EXACT TRUTHFUL REVIEW as Mr Bryden does not seem to give a crap about anyone BUT HIMSELF. SO F OFF STEVE and I Hope You Use Your Profits Up on Medical Bills.,, xxxxxxx. Hope you go out of business. More

They offered me a grea These guys were top notch..small town dealership that truly cares about each potential customer that walks through their doors. They offered me a great price on my 2015 F250 on a trade and I ended up buying a 2018 F250 from them! Not to mention the new truck was close to 200 miles away, working on a deal and not having the truck present was nerve racking..I went to about 6 other dealerships in a month window and none of the other dealerships did what these guys did. What a wonderful experience dealing with this Ford store. Thank you to all that helped me get what I wanted. You guys Rock!! #BrydenFord #Durand More
