March was a record-setting month for the 2012 Ford Escape. Dealers around the country moved 22,679 units in the third month of the year, putting the 2012 Escape 3,000 units ahead of its 2011 predecessor. The thing is - the 2013 Escape is set to roll into the Don Bohn Ford showroom by the end of the month.
Will people have had enough of the Escape by then? It doesn't look like it. Customers have already pre-ordered more than...
When Ford set out to design an all-new
Fusion, they had some very clear goals in mind. First, to
offer something that would be fuel-efficient. Next, they knew they wanted to
design a car that was as stylish as it would be reliable. And of course, they
needed to create a vehicle that offered a lot of options and amenities. We knew
that had accomplished all of the above when they arrived at the New York Auto Show with the...
The U.S. Army's Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program has relied on the Humvee for years. But it's on the way out, and they're in search of a replacement. Of course, the body of this bulletproof vehicle is designed especially for the United States Military - but the engine might just come from Ford.
This proposed combat vehicle is called the Valanx. The developers, BAE Systems, Northrup Grumman and Meritor Defenses have...
What does it take to break two speed records in one day? Well, for the Hennessey Performance team, it took one very brave driver, a weekend at the Texas Mile Event in March, and a modified Ford GT. And there you have it: 257.7-mph, a new Standing Mile World Record, and a new Texas Mile record.
The previous Guinness World Record was 233 mph, set by a different GT back in 2006. This year...
When it comes to electric vehicles, we're all about the numbers, and we know you are, too. How powerful is it? How far can it go? How efficient is it? How long does it take to charge?
With the scope of EV technology expanding pretty much daily, it can be a bit tricky to keep up. And we have to admit, the competition is pretty close. The EV poster child, the Leaf, set the...
Many auto industry experts were surprised by the success of the first V6 EcoBoost engine in the Ford F-150. We weren't too surprised though, considering it boasts 365 ponies of power and an EPA-estimated 22 mpg. And, since its launch, it's won over more drivers than we can count. We think Motor Trend puts it best when they say of the EcoBoost evolution, "People don't know what they've always wanted until...
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT), and in honor of the occasion, they showed up at the Chicago Auto Show with the 2013 Shelby GT500 Convertible. The 650-horsepower Shelby GT500 is powered by a 5.8-liter supercharged V8 - and that's only the beginning.
Before we get into the details of the new GT500, let's take a look back at SVT in 1992. The Special Vehicle Team...
