For some students, lack of transportation can be a huge barrier. As a response to that, Ford Philanthropy has been doing amazing work setting up transportation grants to help people get to the skilled trades training programs that will expand their career. www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

Noe Chico put an auto career on hold when he became a father. Years later he's back in night school to make his dream a reality.

Fun talking w/ Top Gear's Jack Rix about Mustang GTD Competition, its record lap at Nurburgring, why enthusiast vehicles are important to us, plus what else may be coming to Ford's lineup. Competition on the track isn't just exciting, but also makes us better. This is why we'll always say "Game On"!

When a team of athletes wanted to drive 22,000 feet up the world’s highest volcano, they needed vehicles they could rely on and they chose Ford. Proud of our teams for engineering vehicles that give customers the confidence to tackle just about anything! www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

Racing isn't just about winning… it also helps improve our products. Our team uses the racetrack as an important testing environment, pushing vehicles to their limits in order to make our V8 engines more durable & reliable for our Mustang & F-150 customers. www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

Technology is at its best when it feels simple, intuitive & useful. That’s the idea behind our new midsize electric vehicle, the first on our Universal Electric Vehicle Platform.

Extreme weather and grid instability are unfortunately making power outages more common. Having an F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid or F-150 Lightning with a 240V Pro Power Onboard outlet means you can have a backup power source right in your driveway.

130 years ago today on June 4, 1896, Henry Ford took the first test drive of his first car, the Quadricycle. It had 2 speeds, no reverse & a doorbell for a horn! Imagine what he must have felt at the time! Incredible to think how far we've come. Every Ford today traces back to that moment.
