Is a new Ford sedan in the works?
Back in March of 2019, the Ford Taurus officially ended production. The Taurus had a long and successful history in the United States with thousands still on the road today. The SHO was one of the most underrated performance sedans on the market. It was a so-called “sleeper” that could keep up with V8 Dodge […]

2021 F-150 hybrid and goodbye Raptor SuperCab
The heavily refreshed 2021 Ford F-150 should be arriving in the near future. Many spy shots have been going around showcasing the GMC Sierra-like headlights and a revised rear end that resembles the previous generation. The body, however, looks the same which leads us to believe this truck is not all-new. A member at F150Gen14 […]

Wow, Ford is in good shape, despite that loss
Ford lost $2 billion in the first quarter of 2020—not surprising given the sudden shutdowns of economies around the globe. But Ford is able to weather the storm, including an expected $5 billion loss in the second quarter, and possible losses in the last half of 2020: they had $34 billion in cash, and $35 […]

Detroit delays restarts, GM and Ford grab cash as Ford loses billions
Detroit automakers were planning to restart production on May 4, barring any interventions by state governors—but it appears Michigan’s governor, not to mention the UAW, had other ideas. The Wall Street Journal claims that the new date is May 18, though the UAW apparently hasn’t been told about it yet. The companies are working with […]

Bronco vs. Wrangler – A battle a long time in the making
The Jeep Wrangler can trace its lineage back to the old military Jeeps. Rumor has it that in the 1960s, Ford wanted a bigger part of the military market (which Ford saw as potentially very profitable) and the original Ford Bronco was an attempt to lure the military away from the Jeep designs. If so, […]

Oh, what midsize truck should I get?
Before we start on the pickups, let’s talk web sites. Chevrolet gives you all the information you could possibly want, straight up, without fuss; and the numbers stay the same as you go through. It’s a pleasure to deal with Chevrolet’s fast-loading, gimmick-free web site. Then there’s Toyota, where the numbers keep changing, almost randomly. […]

In virus-clobbered sales, Toyota beat Jeep in SUVs, Gladiator beat Frontier, and more
Sales figures for the first quarter of 2020 are out, and it’s not pretty, largely due to the coronavirus—as well as the air being let out of America’s economic bubble. Between closed dealerships and a stock market suddenly plunging to more realistic levels, wiping out a couple of years of fast gains, car sales plummeted […]

On Tuesday, construction began to build a hospital to house patients who have tested positive for the coronavirus. In the coming days, the TCF Center will be transformed to hold […]

Who has the best cheap truck?
Let’s say you need a new full-sized truck, but the economy has you worried. Where do you go? We looked at the Ram, Ford, and Chevy offerings so you won’t have to! You may wonder why Nissan and Toyota were not included, and the reasons are that Nissan starts at a higher level, while Toyota’s […]

Should Ford take the SUV path less traveled?
With the upcoming Ford Bronco and the Ford “Maverick” (the likely name for the baby Bronco), it seems Ford is taking an interesting path for its more rugged CUVs/SUVs. Current Ford CUVs like Escape, EcoSport, and Edge are likely to remain on-road based offerings, which is the segment with the most buyers. But Bronco and […]
