Ford brought back staff pricing before all
Customers can now save thousands of dollars on certain Ford and Lincoln cars Despite Trump's tariffs, Ford brought back its popular employee pricing plan. It can save thousands of dollars on new 2024 or 2025 Ford or Lincoln vehicles. The Raptors and Super Truck and the new Navigator were both excluded from the program. Nothing like everyone's employee pricing says the recession is coming, so Ford announced the plan the same day that the stock market announced the return on the plan in response to President Trump's devastating tariffs, which was a stock market drop of more than 1,430 points. In a glorious blog post, inadequate value to their media website, Ford’s director of U.S. sales said, “In times like this, conversation is cheap.” Rob Kaffl continued, “For 121 years, we have put money in our mouths, assembled the vehicles Americans rely on and supported the American work.

Ford dropped four more recalls as quality dilemma continues
Ford has solved four more quality issues that require owners to visit the service center. The 3.5-liter F-150 pickup, Adventure and Lincoln Navigator SUV may have misaligned oil plugs. The bus connection may overheat, the F-150 hybrid loses power, and the expedition has safety issues. When you are a car manufacturer pumping out millions of cars each year, it is understandable that some may suffer from quality Gremlins. But last year, Ford announced a much more recall than rival general managers, and has invested four more campaigns this month, just two weeks after announcing the other four, and two more we didn’t report. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que :()}; adpushup.que.push(function(){if(adpushup.config.platform!=="Desktop"){adpushup.triggerad("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-4db4-8135 c5088799a76a76a76f8") adpushup.triggerad("82503191-E1D1-435A-874F-9C78A2A54A2F"); The first in the new recall involves 4,163 examples of the 2024-2025 F-150, Expedition and 2024 Lincoln Navigator, where the common thread does not have its shared step-frame chassis, but its front 3.5-liter V6.

Kia Strong Tasman, Ford Ranger is not ruled out
Kia Tasman Weekend Concept is the most impressive version of a mid-size pickup truck Kia unveils the Tasman weekend concept at the 2025 Seoul Auto Show in South Korea. The concept has many body color add-ons to improve its visual appeal. ALL-terrain tires, wider tracks and lifted suspension help with a positive stance. Kia Tasman made his debut late last year but it may not have caught the trucking world on fire, but it certainly sparked conversations, which is often for the wrong reasons. Now, Kia seems ready to change that narrative with a new concept that quietly debuted at the 2025 Seoul Auto Show. The Kia Tasman Weekend (WKNDR) concept with a stronger stance and a range of accessories may win some skeptics. This new variant brings a range of external upgrades that take advantage of the off-road aesthetics popular in models like the Ford Ranger Raptor.

Speed Restoration Creates 1972 Custom Ford F-150
At the airport, Customs translated into many rules. But in the automotive world, “customs” are what you want. Florida state speed recovery decided to make its own thing that doesn't exist: the 1972 Ford F-150. If you look at the Ford 1972 pickup booklet, you'll see the dual-beam front suspension, choices for i6 and V8 engines, and the differences between the Sport Custom, Ranger and Ranger XLT Trim levels. What you won't find is the mention of the F-150, which is so common that it tends to blur into the background. That's because Ford didn't launch the F-150 until the 1975 model year, its "new heavy duty 1/2-ton pickup" series. As the name implies, the F-150 is inserted between the F-100 and the F-250, especially within its total weight range. The GCW of the F-100 may be 4,650-5,700 pounds, while the GCW span of the more powerful F-250 is 6,200-8,100 pounds, while the GCW rating of the F-150 is exactly…
Choice of the day: 1949 Ford 2-door convertible
Imagine the world 1949. The United States emerged from World War II, and post-war prosperity was driving economic and industrial growth. Pop culture trends have sparked new music and an ever-growing TV industry. There has been a shift to suburban life, and new housing developments are emerging across the country. That's what happened in Phoenix, Arizona, and my home is one of many homes built in 1949.

Ford patented fake manual gear lever makes electric cars feel alive
The gear lever also promises tactile feedback, adding to the driving experience go through Brad Anderson April 1, 2025 15:10 Ford's patent shows an analog gear lever that mimics the changes in traditional gears in electric vehicles. The system uses actuators and motors to recreate the tactile feedback of the H-Pattern transmission. While Ford patented the system, it cannot guarantee that it will enter a future production model. For anyone even familiar with the current landscape, it is clear that electric vehicles have quietly taken over the wise driving aspect. They are smooth, quiet, efficient, and for most people, that's exactly what everyday driving is supposed to be. But for enthusiasts? Well, the story is a little different. Most electric cars just don't scream with the nerves of a manually equipped ice car. Automakers know this, too, and they have started to patch it. Ford seems to be the latest news to join the "manual EV" experiment. Toyota has been…

Ford wants judges to throw away $2.5 billion in roof safety
Ford made a $1.7 billion verdict from another case, despite the judge's order reaching a jury and claiming the jury was discussed. Ford asked a judge to submit a huge $2.5 billion judgment in a case concerning roof safety. The automaker claims the jurors are aware of the previous $1.7 billion verdict.

1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1
I've always liked it The final iteration of the classic Mustang. Yes, it's bigger and heavier than the previous cars, but the styling, especially the sports version, is simply amazing. It has an almost vertical rear window (providing minimal rear visibility) and an extra-long hood. It's more like a GT car than a muscle or a pony car, but since I like GT cars, that's a good thing. Additionally, these ultimate classic Mustangs have a nice and comfortable passenger compartment and must be the best choice for long-distance driving from all classic Mustangs. Finally, Sean Connery’s character in James Bond in Diamond adds to the charm of these cars forever. I actually grew up in one of them because my mom had a new one in the exact same color scheme. Now, on the Autohunter is one of these great cars, the 1973 Ford Mustang Mach. California sellers describe this Mustang Mach 1 as powered by a Q-Code 351 Cleveland…

Ford document patent for Mustang Four Doors?
Some of you It hasn't yet been borrowed from the Mustang Mach-e, Ford's EV SUV, which borrows the Mustang styling and branding. While we don't think the owner of Mach claimed "yes, I own the Mustang", it hurts Fanbois. So if you still have hair on your head, make sure to wear socks before reading further, because Cars and drivers Ford has filed a trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). In Detroit, this is not common – a story I've heard is that after the success of the Road Runner in 1968, the Plymouth Bean Counter wanted to apply the name to other body styles, including four-door sedans and station vans, although they happen to win with the convertible.

Ford believes hybrid engine class action lacks
Ford said “possible future harm” and “speculative fear” would not be endured in court. March 2, 2025 - Ford's hybrid engine issue caused two recalls, two customer satisfaction programs and class action lawsuits, which Ford believes should be dismissed entirely. According to Ford, just like many vehicle recalls in recent years, the Ford hybrid engine recall has resulted in a separate class action lawsuit alleging “fraud.” "And, like many such actions, alleged class representatives have not struggled to cope with the absurdity of their notion that auto companies deliberately hide a flaw that can lead to fires when the same company has to spend more money to resolve the factory's fixed expected recall." - Ford In July 2022, Ford recalled the 2020-2022 Ford Escape Hybrid, 2021-2022 Lincoln Corsair Hybrid and 2022 Ford Maverick Maverick Hybrid vehicles, equipped with a 2.5L engine.

These models usually lack standard VINs and cannot be sold to the public, so they are destroyed. However, some prototypes are occasionally sold to the public through auction or reconstruction. The Ford F-150 Raptor has long been king in terms of exciting and engaging high-performance pickup trucks.
