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. We're proud to be working with Apple to embed Apple Maps in our UEV Platform, alongside hands-free driving w/ BlueCruise.
This allows you to power hardwired systems – like gas furnace, well pump, lights & fridge – simultaneously, without multiple extension cords. This is just the latest way Ford is working to make multi-energy vehicles more useful for customers. More info here: www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...
To make this backup power solution easier to use & more attainable, we worked with Global Power Products to use their GenerLink transfer switch to develop a connector that allows our customers to feed power directly from their vehicle into their home's main electrical panel.
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.
We’ve got 3 main goals: build a jobs pipeline for skilled trades, highlight what's working across the U.S. including the launch of a Skilled Trades Report & grow this movement with more partners. We look forward to welcoming others on board who are equally passionate about solving this for America.
The skilled trades workforce shortage is a national crisis but also a generational opportunity. Why this alliance? No one person or organization is going to solve the skilled trades shortage alone. So when I started talking to our partners about these issues, we knew that we could do more together.
Skilled trades are at the heart of what we call the Essential Economy, the 95M Americans who build, move & fix the things our country depends on daily. These vital trades & industries are the backbone of the American economy, but millions of these jobs are expected to go unfilled in the years ahead.
This week, Ford announced we’re joining forces with our founding partners at BlackRock, Google & Carhartt to form a new organization, the Alliance for America’s Skilled Trades. Read our op-ed in Fortune to learn more about our collective work: fortune.com/2026/07/21/b...
Racing challenges us to push our engines to their limits and everything we learn on the racetrack helps us improve our products for @Ford customers. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at some of the testing and engineering that goes into every engine we build.
The Ford Mustang is the best-selling sports car in the U.S.! Thanks to all the Ford teams, dealers and Mustang customers for making it happen. Glad you love Mustangs as much as we love making them. www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

As Daniel Ricciardo said, racing is so much more than simply driving fast. This is one aspect I love about cars, they’re more than a device, they can become an extension of your being. Full episode on YouTube: youtu.be/GCl5wUtwEYw
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.
Every detail of the new Ford Bronco Filson serves a purpose. It was designed to give drivers confidence out on the trails, mud, dirt or desert…wherever it takes you. I know people will love exploring in this one!
GT4 is the “secret sauce” of the Ford Racing Motorsport Pyramid. Mustang customers like Chad McCumbee who compete in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge help prove why GT4 is an important place for Mustang to go racing. Watch the full video on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7cV...

Had a great time with actor Tom Pelphrey on DRIVE! We talked about our love of road trips & quality family time, but what stayed with me most was his perspective on what it takes to stay grounded in who you are while navigating life & career. Watch/listen to the episode here: lnk.to/drivewithjim...
