Ford has been undergoing some changes in the last few months with CEO Jim Hackett retiring and being replaced by a new CEO with Jim Farley taking the position. It wasn't very long ago that former CEO Hackett said that Ford wouldn't build its own batteries for electric vehicles. Hackett had said in July that there was no advantage to the automaker building its own battery cells.
Ford has pulled the wraps off its latest all-electric vehicle, and the 2021 E-Transit is a big deal when it comes to zero-emissions. A plug-in version of the cargo van that's already a best-seller around the world, it's expected to deliver 126 miles of range when it goes on sale next year. While that might sound low in EV terms, Ford has an argument to back it up.
Ford's all-electric F-150 may still be more than a year away from launch, but the automaker is already increasing production plans based on what it says has been "strong early interest" for the plug-in pickup. Details of the F-150 EV are still in short supply, but just the confirmation in September alone that it was on the Ford roadmap was enough to indicate big changes are coming.
Any car person who's been to a car show knows that there are plenty of people out there who buy regular versions of sports cars, like the Mustang, and then make them up to look like limited-edition versions. This practice can muddy the waters for real versions of these performance cars, such as the GT350 and GT350R.
Thailand’s motorsports scene is literally bursting at the seams, and proof of this is Ford Thailand Racing’s diesel-fed Ranger racing truck. From the looks of it alone, we’re not talking about an ordinary diesel Ranger pickup. In fact, this truck is engineered to compete in the Super Pickup class of the Thailand Super Series.
Ford's Active Drive Assist, its hands-free highway cruise control and lane-keeping system, has been priced up for the new Mustang Mach-E and 2021 F-150, though you'll need to be patient. The Tesla Autopilot and Cadillac Super Cruise rival aims to best Elon Musk with more user-friendliness, while simultaneously putting the tech within reach of far more drivers than GM has managed so far.
This is not an ordinary Ford Bronco. This is the latest creation of Texas-based tuner and supercar maker Hennessey Performance Engineering (HPE), and it’s called the Bronco Velociraptor. After bewildering our senses with its Jeep Gladiator Maximus, Ram TRX Mammoth 6x6, and Venom F5 supercar, the mad scientists at Hennessey have given the newest Bronco a proper supercharged V8 engine.
Ford is giving its midsize crossover a tech upgrade, with the 2021 Edge and Edge ST borrowing some of the best features from the Mustang Mach-E's cabin. The updated SUVs are getting a much larger touchscreen, with a 12-inch display now standard, running the new SYNC 4A connected infotainment platform.
The year 2020 will end as the most devastating fire season in U.S. history, and it couldn’t end soon enough. American automaker Ford and rugged outdoor outfitter Filson has collaborated in creating the Bronco + Filson Wildland Fire Rig concept along with limited-edition Bronco + Filson outdoor gears. Ford and Filson are raising funds for the National Forest Foundation in support of local, state, and federal wildland firefighters.
Ford has announced that it has officially launched the new Bronco Build & Price tool. With the website live, Bronco fans can now build their dream vehicle and see exactly how much it will cost. The answer to the price question is that the Bronco isn't precisely inexpensive. While the base Bronco starts out reasonably enough, options that most people desire add significantly to the price.
Ford has revealed its newest self-driving car, the fourth-generation of test vehicle developed by it and Argo AI. Still intended for autonomous driving research and development, rather than commercial sale, the Escape Hybrid-based vehicle promises an upgrade in sensor tech, but also a cleaner route to the eventual driverless service Ford plans to launch.
Ford has priced up the 2021 Mustang Mach 1, and there's surprisingly good news if the limited-edition coupe has caught your eye. Slotting in between the Mustang Bullitt and the Shelby GT350, the Mach 1 doesn't quite hit that speed itself, but the big pricing reveal does mark the 73rd anniversary of the time Chuck Yeager did.
