The first week of March has been full of recalls for Ford, from separating driveshafts causing a recall of over 11,000 Super Duty trucks, to almost 605,000 crossovers and SUVs being recalled for faulty windshield wipers. Now, two new recalls announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have impacted many of the same crossovers and SUVs mentioned earlier in the week, along with every model year of the current U725 Bronco and several Edge crossovers. Each recall spans over 800,0

There's yet another recall out for certain Ford and Lincoln SUVs, and it concerns the rearview camera again. Only this time, the glitch may also mean that advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that aim to prevent crashes may also fail. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there's a software problem with some 254,640 Explorer, Navigator, Nautilus, and Aviator SUVs, specifically their image processing modules. These may "unexpectedly reset," and if they do, both the

Ford has announced a new recall for possible high-pressure fuel pump failures on certain Super Duty pickup trucks. This isn’t the first time these pickups have been recalled for fuel pump failures, as some of them were recalled for exactly the same issue at the end of 2024. Because selected models weren’t repaired properly, a new recall has been issued for a smaller number of F-Series models. Here’s everything we know about the new recall. Ford Super Duty Fuel Pump Recall

When Buying American Pays Ford has released a list of models eligible for the annual $10,000 auto loan interest deduction under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law in July 2025. The incentive applies exclusively to vehicles assembled in the United States, effectively encouraging consumers to buy domestically built models, while some imported vehicles from brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz continue to face heftier tariffs. According to Ford, the eligible lineup includes t

January sales figures are starting to roll in from across the industry, and among those not off to the greatest of starts in the new year is Ford, whose data shows it sold 128,260 cars in the US in January – a 6% drop from the 136,474 units it shifted in the same period in 2025. It’s disheartening news for Ford fans amid an otherwise strong January market, but there are a few easily-explained reasons behind the drop, and it’s far from bad news for every model sold by the Blue Oval. Why the decli

The First Ford Ride for Some Americans Ford recently claimed that 53% of emergency vehicles nationwide wear a Blue Oval badge. That underscores the need for reliable, purpose-built vehicles that can serve the public in critical situations, especially when some are used to respond to childbirth emergencies – and when some babies are even born inside Ford vehicles. The Dearborn-based automaker said thousands of Americans are born inside ambulances each year, including Christie’s daughter, whose pl

In many markets outside the United States, it’s possible to buy even luxury cars in a basic specification (so-called “poverty-spec” models) with tiny wheels, cloth interiors, and smaller engines. American tastes differ, though, with fewer base trims that actually look and feel basic. Here, consumers prefer even the cheapest variants of a model line to come with high-end features and decent power. But the desire for cheaper, basic trims is increasing as the average car price rises to record level

Buyer Got It For Almost Half Its Original Price A heavily outfitted 2021 Ford F-250 Shelby Super Baja, one of only 250 produced, sold for $70,500 on Bring a Trailer. One might consider this a great value, given that the last time we wrote about a similar listing, it sold for a whopping $129,999. The winning bid landed on a machine finished in Oxford White with black Shelby stripes and showing 46,000 miles, presenting as a ready-to-use, off-road capable, collector-grade Super Baja with verified m

From Eddie Bauer to...Carhartt? It's safe to say that the Ford and Eddie Bauer collaboration has been one of the most popular tie-ups between a car manufacturer and automaker. The cross-branding partnership ran from 1984 to 2010, and Ford hasn't had a clothing partner since. This year, however, things are about to change. For the 2027 model year, the Super Duty pickup gains a new special edition, the Carhartt. Yes, that Carhartt, and with that, Ford goes from partnering up with an outdoor brand

Euro Stang The 1960s were the era of the muscle car, started and brought to international acclaim by the first-generation Ford Mustang. At first, the Mustang dominated the American landscape, selling quicker than anything ever, which then drew interest from foreign markets. Back then, it wasn't as easy as it is now to just send a model to another market; supply was tighter, and there was more competition. In Europe, Ford wanted to sell the Mustang because it was winning races there, but somethin

Ford has been making waves lately, winning a NACTOY award for Truck of the Year with the Maverick Lobo compact sport truck and unveiling the Dark Horse SC as the successor to the Shelby GT500. And now there's something coming for those who prefer a more utilitarian vehicle in their lives, with the Blue Oval announcing that a new 2027 Super Duty Carhartt truck will arrive later this year. Details are scant, and only a single teaser image was provided with the announcement, but a badge on the driv

Ford may be reassessing its short-term electric plans and investing more in hybrids and gas powertrains in the face of weak EV demand, but the company is still betting big on electric power in the US, investing some $5 billion in its new ‘Universal’ EV platform. The platform is designed to underpin a family of more affordable EVs that’ll potentially be sold in numerous global markets, but the first will be aimed squarely at American buyers – a mid-sized pickup built at the company’s Louisville,

Keeping the V8 Running Downsized turbos have been the way for the last couple of years. Sixes have been replaced by boosted fours, turbo-sixes have substituted V8s and V12s, and, well, you get the picture. Yes, the V8 is still around, but the options are slimming down by the minute. Thankfully, there are still automakers who want to keep it alive by any means necessary. One of those manufacturers is Ford, and it's hoping its planned solution will keep them around for much longer. According to CE

Reliability Only Goes So Far While Ford’s 6.8-liter Triton V10 isn’t exactly an exciting engine, it’s generally regarded as a reliable workhorse for heavy-duty applications. That’s why, when this particular example destroyed itself, Eric from I Do Cars set out to find what could have caused such a catastrophic failure through a teardown. The engine was sourced from a 2018 Ford E-450 cutaway van, though details such as the VIN and mileage were unknown. It was the two-valve version rather than the

The “death wobble” is an ominous term most closely associated with certain Jeep Wranglers, due to their tendency to produce severe shaking through the suspension and steering wheel. But Ford has found itself in the midst of a similar issue, with an ongoing “death wobble” lawsuit for certain Ford heavy-duty pickups, with plaintiffs complaining about significant shaking and oscillating of the steering wheels, much like the issue seen in the Jeeps. Unfortunately for the 13 plaintiffs, the Ford clas

Ford reported first-quarter U.S. vehicle sales a few days ago, and across all body styles in the manufacturer’s lineup, trucks saw the steepest year-on-year decline at 11.3%. This was primarily due to the big-selling F-Series, which saw sales drop by 16%, but the Maverick and heavy trucks also dropped in sales. The Ford Ranger was the outlier, though, and one particular variant of this pickup defied the automaker’s overall decline in truck sales to start 2026. It also happens to be one of the mo

A Reset Focused on What People Are Actually Buying Ford’s decision to wind down the production of the F-150 Lightning runs parallel to a more significant shift for the brand. Instead of chasing headlines with bold EV promises, Ford has laid down a concrete outlook – one that isn't just focused on fully electric models. The plan is to put more resources into trucks, vans, hybrids, and electric vehicles that regular customers can afford. By 2030, Ford expects about half of its global sales to come

Part Deliveries Matter A major part of automotive manufacturing is parts delivery. In a global manufacturing world, brands must ensure that parts are manufactured and delivered to the multitude of production and assembly facilities worldwide. Given this, it's vital that the parts are delivered safely without any damage, compromising not just the integrity of the part but the whole assembly process itself. Ford is one brand taking this very seriously, and as proof of just how serious it is, the B

Chevrolet vs Ford, a rivalry that is as old as these two companies. Of course Mopar is in that fight as well, but in this video it is all about the big two going head to head in a Stay Tuned small block shootout. This is no high dollar big power build shootout, but rather low budget hot rod engines where bang for your buck is the goal. So do you think this latest small block Ford build can compete with the 327 Chevy they built? Let’s see in the video below. Video Description: This week on Stay

Bumpers Have Always Been a Compromise Today’s bumpers have a lot on their plate. They need to shield pricey front-end parts, manage crash forces, and even help protect pedestrians. The problem is, most bumpers are built to react the same way, no matter the impact. Softer bumpers help with minor bumps, but you want something stiffer when things get serious. Ford’s patent looks to blend both approaches into one bumper. Filed in November 2024 (patent no. 20260131749 if you want to check), the desig

Despite a dizzying number of recalls over the last few years, Ford is confident that its quality-improvement strategy will reap positive results for buyers. In 2025, Ford CEO Jim Farley said its powertrain durability is now on par with Toyota’s. But the Blue Oval is also working hard to improve all areas of the customer experience, and that now includes the time it takes to have your Ford repaired. Given that Ford dealers complete 35 million repair orders annually, getting them done faster will

New-Age HUD? Modern cars are generally dominated by tech, which has become the new barometer for how special, safe, or cool a car is. There are some technological features, though, that are not only cool but also convenient and safe. Head-Up Displays (HUDs) were invented as a means to help drivers keep their vision straight on the road without any impediments to their vision. First used in Fighter jets, HUDs display all the relevant information through a projection in the windscreen that the dri

Ford has done it again, folks. They've given us yet another feature no one wants. A newly surfaced patent suggests Ford is working on an infotainment system that can read your lips and analyze your facial expressions when voice commands fail. While the idea behind it makes perfect sense, it makes you wonder whether automakers are solving real problems or creating new ones. A Backup for Noisy Cabins Ford

Ford Wants to Save Your Wheels A wheel imbalance can cause discomfort when driving and, if left unaddressed, can eventually cost a fortune in service and parts replacement. That's presumably why Ford has filed a patent for a wheel imbalance detection system that could help spot this kind of problem. Published on December 4, 2025, and first detected by Ford Authority, the patent describes a system that uses sensors to monitor vehicle wheel speed and body vibrations. The collected data is then com

That Special Feeling Car ownership is a very special milestone for everyone, but more so for true car guys. That moment of choosing and buying your brand-new dream car is unmatched. At higher price points, brands offer a more immersive buying experience, allowing owners to customize certain aspects of the car to make it uniquely theirs. Ford isn't often in the business of offering customization, considering it's primarily a mass-market brand, but for the Mustang GTD, it seems to be giving owners
