An updated version of Ford's Bluecruise—and by extension, Lincoln's Activeglide—allows drivers to initiate lane changes with the turn-signal stalk.

Models with the larger 91-kwh pack and all-wheel drive gain 13 miles of range, to 290 miles of EPA-estimated range, according to Ford.

The Ford Mustang Hybrid was originally announced in 2017 and was slated to debut in 2020 on the current-generation Mustang platform.

Inflation and supply chain issues have claimed another victim, the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning.

The prototype robot uses a camera to guide the charging connector into position, with tech that might eventually be put to use for autonomous vehicles.

A recall of Ford hybrids makes accommodations to avoid a fire in the event of an engine block failure or an oil-pan breach.

An issue with the high-voltage system in the Mach-E might lead to a loss in power, but an over-the-air remedy due next month prevent it.

The automakers face off versus a coalition of 17 state governments opposing a significant portion of the auto industry and rallying for greater emissions

Ford CEO Jim Farley pointed to the LFP battery chemistry—and its cost of about 20% less than other lithium-ion chemistries—as one way to meet Tesla and Chinese automakers on margins. But it will take a lot more than that—including a new direct-sales model.

By the time most affected owners get the required notice of recall, delivered in the mail, their car will likely already be fixed.

The F-150 Lightning outdoes its gasoline counterpart in many respects—and charts new territory as a power broker.

With the 131-kwh extended-range battery pack, the Lightning gets up to 320 miles of EPA range and delivers 70 MPGe combined.

The $3,895 system includes inverter, disconnect switch, and a battery pack (yet unspecified) to allow the functionality, but owners will need an extra-cost installation plus the Ford Charge Station Pro.

Ford also clarified that the Tennessee-built electric electric truck due to be made starting in 2024 won't be a successor to the Lightning; it will be in addition to it

PG&E will explore how the F-150 Lightning and its hardware could interconnect with the grid, and how bidirectional charging might support resiliency during grid outages.

The very quick torque delivery of the Lightning's dual-motor system can be an asset for winter-weather stability, Ford demonstrates.

Ford says that the move will help accelerate the development and scaling of EVs and connected vehicles, while “leveraging its iconic nameplates.”

CEO Jim Farley has considering walling off the company's EV operations from its internal-combustion business, to help shift to EVs faster and shed costs.

Ford CEO Jim Farley suggested Ford will shift to applying engineering changes that boost performance and profitability ASAP, rather than at mid-cycle refreshes. That could mean more range sooner for the Mach-E—and keeping up better with Tesla.

A brief ride along in Ford’s forthcoming electric pickup truck suggests it could be the best F-150 yet.
