Henry Ford is practically revered as the patron saint of American cars, and the Model T is his holy text. But it wouldn’t have happened if not for the life, and possibly the death, of two of his biggest rivals: the Dodge brothers. And if it weren’t for a small complication, such as the most deadly pandemic in recorded…
The 2019 Ford Raptor takes a powerful truck that’s already excellent on dirt trails and adds adaptive dampers and off-road cruise control. They’re relatively minor changes, but the result is that the beast that is the second-gen Raptor now has an even bigger set of muscles.
We Americans love how the inside of a new car smells. It’s scented like hot plastic and straight-from-the-factory glues. Mmmm. But consumers in China do not.

John Cena’s former 2017 Ford GT heading to auction has become the new norm, like reality got stuck somewhere along the way, on a vicious loop.

Earlier today, photos from a Ford event taken by somebody who has almost certainly been killed by now circulated of what appears to be the upcoming Ford Bronco or Baby Bronco. But everyone was so excited we seemed to have missed an easter egg revealing the crossover to be the Baby Bronco for sure, while also hinting…
For years now we’ve been patiently waiting for Ford to disappoint us with a new generation of the classic Ford Bronco, some watered-down flabby design that won’t match the original’s chunky looks. Well, we were all wrong.
A 2017 Ford GT supercar popped up on Mecum Auctions’ website in May, but it wasn’t just its 647 horsepower or potential to sell for triple MSRP that garnered attention: It was also whether Ford would sue Mecum for selling it at all. Ford did, the day the car sold, and the lawsuit ended in a settlement this week.
The year is winding down and the number of cars with free-breathing engines and six-speed manuals is dwindling depressingly. The 2018 Ford Mustang GT, however, remains one of the purist new sports cars that you can buy. It’s fantastic to drive, and the Performance Pack Level 2 accentuates its aggression.
Ford, struggling with a depressed stock price and facing constant questions about what, exactly, it’s trying to do as a business now, offered up Wednesday a solution that’ll finally convince everyone it’s something more than a car company: the Blue Oval bought some electric scooters.

Ford is celebrating its announcement of continuing production of its supercar by another 350 units with this, the 2019 Ford GT Carbon Series, which drops some weight, adds some carbony visual flair, but doesn’t go quite as hardcore as the spartan GT Competition model.
Ford Mustangs drift. This much we know. But that doesn’t mean that you, an individual with no prior experience, should try drifting your Mustang randomly in public. So when I tell you about the new Series 1 Mustang RTR option, I’m also telling you that you shouldn’t think you automatically become a drift king if you…
While cleaning my house on Saturday, I took a peek under a tarp in my garage, and rediscovered a car that I hadn’t really thought about in years: my “secret” 1966 Ford Mustang. It’s a vehicle that’s just been sitting for nearly a decade, and I think I need to do something about it.
