2024 Ford Ranger Sharpens Global Ambitions, Debuts New Tech And Potent Raptor Model

Ford wanted to make it clear that the 2024 Ford Ranger was ready for adventure. The previous generation Ford Ranger helped bring the model back to the U.S. market, but it was no secret that the model was not only starting to show its age but that it was missing some of the things that U.S. buyers wanted when Ford quickly adapted it for the U.S. market including the Raptor model (which the rest of the world got.) For dis out to change that, though and the company has not only brought the Raptor to our shores but also given …

Is Now The Smartest Time To Buy a 2014 Ford F-150? New Truck This Winter Bringing BEST DEALS EVER on Current Models

This is somewhat counter-intuitive for a car news writer to ask – but I’m sure the thought has crossed your mind at some point as well. Here is the scenario: You want and need a new truck. New F-150 looks awesome, so you have been waiting to see it come out before you decide whether to buy one.

2015 Expedition COLORS and Animated Turntables

2015 Expedition COLORS and Animated Turntables Updated with real-life photography as well as the latest colorizer and a few animated spinners of Green Gem and Ruby Red via Ford.com’s visualizer tool.

2015 Ford Expedition — New for Dallas Auto Show! 3.5L EcoBoost and Active Suspensions Promise Improvements Across-the-Board

The new Expedition wears a new front end with optional LED lighting down below — but like the …

Past, Present and Future Super Duty Fords The truck business is becoming cut-throat competitive. Even after decades of loyalty battles, mud-slinging with the Calvin peeing on _____ stickers, and the constant one-ups-man-ship in tow ratings: things are getting seriously rough out there. Following huge, huge investments from Toyota and Nissan earlier in the 2000s: executive management is getting impatient with sub-100,000-units annual sales totals for the Tundra and Titan. But what to do? The Ram, Chevrolet and Ford trucks are continually improving, and seem forever a step ahead of the somewhat boring second-tier trucks on the market. No where is …
