A Family That Stakes Its Name on Every Sale
Jay, Jake, and Jordan Malone own and run Jay Malone Ford, and they’re here every day. When you buy from us, you’re shaking hands with the family whose name is on the building — not a regional manager you’ll never meet again.
Hector is a Renville County farm town on Highway 212, home to Hector Municipal Airport and to the Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart Mustangs. Hector drivers put their trucks through real work every day — and they expect a dealer who treats them straight. We’ve done business the same way in Hutchinson since 2005.
Built for Renville County Life
Hector drivers put real miles on their vehicles — field and livestock work, hauling at harvest, long stretches of open prairie highway, and every kind of Minnesota winter. Whether you need an F-150 or Super Duty for work or an Explorer for the family, we’ll match the right Ford — in stock or factory ordered.
