 Ford rescue concept truck pressed into service to help tornado victims |
|
May 02, 2012 - 8:38 PM - by Ford Forums

Filed under: Truck, Safety, Work, Ford, Specialty
From show floor to evacuation route, one concept vehicle got the chance to test it's meddle in the real world.
The Ford F-550 Super Duty Rescue Truck was created to demonstrate extreme rescue capabilities not actually use them. It first went on display in February at the Chicago Auto Show.
But on April 3, with just two miles on its odometer, this concept vehicle found itself in the thick of a real-life rescue mission. A series of devastating tornadoes had ripped through Arlington, Texas, overwhelming every fire-rescue department in the region. Destruction was everywhere.
Worse yet, many of the... [Read More]

Ford adding third shift to build more EcoBoost V6s, 250 jobs saved in Ohio |
|

Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing, Ford
Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6 has proved popular with customers, with more than 180,000 finding homes in driveways and garages since launching in 2009. Ford has but a single facility in the United States turning out this engine, Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1. Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1 is also home to the 3.7 liter V6 that kicks out over 300 horsepower in the Mustang and continues to sell at full tilt in the F-150.
With two belles of the automotive ball under a single roof, Ford is adding 250 workers and a third shift of production at the Cleveland engine plant to keep up. "We are tripling production to meet customers' growing need for fuel-efficient engines" said Mark Fields, Ford's president of the... [Read More]

UPDATE: The Focus ST has officially been added to Ford's configurator. Click here to build one yourself.
Well now, the inexpensive performance game just got considerably more interesting. Ford has officially dropped pricing on its upcoming 2013 Focus ST, and it starts at $24,495 (*including a $795 delivery charge). That kind of coin will net you a EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine good for a whopping 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, along with a torque-steer compensation system that works in conjunction with electronic power steering to keep the nose pointed in the right direction. If you're keeping track, those power metrics are slightly north of the... [Read More]

This is what a drunk driver on the road looks like |
|
Apr 30, 2012 - 5:00 PM - by Ford Forums

Filed under: Truck, Safety, Videos, Ford
Is the driver of this Ford Ranger driving under the influence? From the looks of this four-minute-long video where he or she pinballs repeatedly between ditch and center line and narrowly misses oncoming traffic, it certainly looks like the wheelman is soggy drunk.
This four-minute+ video catches all the stupidity from the first off-road foray at about 40 seconds all the way to an expertly executed nosedive into a ditch. The impromptu videographers do a a fine job commentating on every jerky move as they attempt to warn oncoming drivers.
There's high drama at various points throughout the video, and in the end, the driver is lucky that the conclusion isn't worse.
Before you ask, from the audio, it sounds like the videographers called the cops before starting his camera. We assume the... [Read More]
