Sure you put your Ford truck to the test on a daily basis, but that's what it's made for. You don't want to hear any back-talk out of it. Well, Ford reads you loud and clear.
Accordingly, the American automaker is utilizing 3D mapping technology to improve the overall ride in new Ford pickups. And smoother driving means even less engine noise than before. Apparently, it all comes down to the axle?
The Ford Mustang, which has been a favorite of customers in the Leavenworth area for decades, turns 50 this year, but trust us when we say it's not showing its age. This hot ride looks better than ever and Ford is celebrating the milestone with a new line of anniversary merchandise and a special new logo for the iconic car.
We've known for some time that the Ford Fiesta ST would be making a statement in Europe, but we could only cross our fingers that it would be doing the same thing here in the United States. That's right, Ford wouldn't make a statement either way - so we've been erring on the side of caution and assuming it wouldn't cross the pond this year. But recent spy shots have us...
As one of the original American hot rods, the 1932 Model B Ford became known as the Deuce Coupe, the perfect car for modifying and stripping of extra weight. And when Tom Gloy got his hands on a '32 Ford, he knew he had to turn it into something extra special, so he brought it to the boys at Roy Brizio Street Rods in San Francisco.
Leave it to Brizio and his team to take...
Ann Arbor, Michigan is about to get a whole lot safer thanks to Ford and the Department of Transportation. The two have teamed up to create the largest-ever real-world test of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I). The test includes 3,000 cars, trucks, and buses - all of which will be communicating with each other via a Wi-Fi connection.
With the vehicles able to communicate with traffic signals as well as each other, the Department of...
Have you had a chance to take a 2013 Ford Explorer out for a test drive yet? Well - as much as we love it, we have to be honest and tell you that you're going to be very happy that you waited, as the 2013 Ford Explorer Sport is set to arrive this fall. And it's every bit as adventurous as the original Explorer - just a bit more fun.
What do we mean...
The news keeps getting better for new car shoppers: engines are getting more efficient while they're also getting more powerful. The latest example of this is the 2013 Ford Taurus, powered by a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that boasts six-cylinder power with just four cylinders pumping away under the hood. That's 240-horsepower, 270 lb-ft of torque, and an impressive 32 miles to the gallon on the highway.
These EPA-official numbers mean that the...
We have a weird question for you. Are you ready?
How many ping pong balls do you think would fit inside a 2013 Escape? A thousand? A couple thousand? Try 56,778 in all. That's including all of the cup holders, overhead and center console storage bins, and even the glove box.
So now you probably have a question for us. It's okay, we had the same question at first, too. And that...
Back in May, we told you it was about time to get ready for the new Escape, and if you really didn't think you could wait, you could pre-order your new car on the Ford website. Well, if you were one of the patient folks who decided to wait to take one for a test drive, we have some really good news for you: the 2013 Ford Escape is here.
And when the first...
The Zeck Ford showroom is full of fuel-efficient new Ford models like the 36 mpg 2012 Ford Focus and the 29 mpg Taurus. This may seem impressive at first glance, but it's only one part of the automaker's plan to reduce their energy consumption.
Cars like the Focus are exactly the models that have helped Ford boost the fuel-efficiency of their lineup by 17 percent since 2006. But it goes far beyond the...
