Shortly after it debuted in January, we guessed that the updated-for-2018 Mustang GTwould offer 455 hp. Unfortunately we were wrong. Ford announced today that the 2018 GT actually makes 460 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, and impressively, runs from 0-60 mph in under 4.0 seconds. Sounds good to us. To achieve that acceleration figure, you'll have to
Obviously we are at time when the smallest pickup trucks which are available in the U.S. are styled after locomotives, they're also that big. But as General Motors has lately showed to us with the presentation of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon that there is still a place in the market of trucks for something smaller than it should

The ST is definitely our favorite version of the Ford Fiesta, but it’s far from the only one that’s fun to drive. In fact, the Fiesta with the smallest engine Ford puts in a car ended up being an absolute blast. Its tiny 1.0-liter turbocharged I-3 only makes 123 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque, but it’s remarkably refined and a
Australia has all the luck. Not only did they keep El Camino-style runabouts for decades after us in the U.S., now they get a Raptor version of the midsize Ford Ranger pickup, to boot. We know nothing about this car except that Ford confirmed it IS building it for the Asia-Pacific market. And we also know that we in
According to Ford, its first official pickup rolled out of a Highland Park, Michigan, assembly plant on July 27, 1917. Aimed at farmers, the truck was ready to be used and abused by the people Henry Ford grew up around. Over the next 100 years, the truck transformed from a farm implement and industry tool to
Chinese-backed, California-based startup Lucid Motors promises a lot, but it needs a lot of money to get its first vehicle, the Air sedan, into production. Bloomberg says that Lucid will raise more money with the help of Morgan Stanley, and that it's held takeover talks with Ford executives. Ford isn't looking to purchase Lucid now, but it hasn't
The next-generation Ford Focus's prototype for is back. Newest photos showed a test mule but the newest testers are wearing the body of the production model due out in 2018. The vehicle should be available as 2019 model. There are also photos of the interior which seems to be very different to the inside of the current
Ford has reported that the 2018 Expedition with new design has a tow rating of 9,300 pounds, which the producer says that it is best-in-class. That’s equal to two 4,510-lb 2017 Chevrolet Silverado WTs, two 4,517-lb Ram 1500s, or even two 4,051-lb Ford F-150s — all with a few hundred pounds to spare. “With best-in-class towing capability
