Ripping up Expectations in the Focus ST

In 2012 Ford updated their entire Focus line-up. The refresh and facelift reignited the market's love for the Ford Focus line-up.

But, let's all be honest here, the Ford Focus ST has plenty of great features to come out of the shadows once again.

Coming out of the dealer, the ST is loaded with 252 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque making it a…

Foam Made of What!?

 

 

"For nearly two decades, researchers have worked successfully to develop sustainable materials for Ford products. In North America, soy foam is in every Ford vehicle. Coconut fiber backs trunk liners; recycled tires and soy are in mirror gaskets; recycled T-shirts and denim go into carpeting; and recycled plastic bottles become REPREVE fabric used in the 2016 F-150."

Ford Turns to Aluminum for the 2017 Super Duty

Though many fans of classic steel-bodied trucks are skeptical, the advantage of aluminum body panels is immense. The metal is highly recyclable, which is good for the environment, never rusts, which is good for longevity, and its light weight improves fuel economy.

New to 2017, the Super Duty is losing its relatively flexible c-channel frame, and upgrading to a rigid fully-boxed frame. Made of 95-percent high-strength steel, the

Over the years with the Ford F-150

 

This year, the Ford F-150 revolutionized the truck industry, and for model that has been an American favorite for decades, that was a pretty gutsy move.

After the original generation, which consisted of the F-1 (half-ton), F-2 (three-quarter ton), and F-3 (heavy-duty), a new generation was introduced every decade, including two redesigns in the 2000s...

The formidable Ford F-150 serves as a "wake up call"

If you're a fan of the Ford F-150, you'll be pleased to know this popular truck made a revolutionary change this year that serves as a "wake-up call" for the rest of the pickup truck segment.

Specifically, the F-150 made the switch to a high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body and steel frame construction, which means a higher power-to-weight ratio than ever before, as well as the highest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of any light-duty gas-powered pick-up. How's that for impressive?
