Last summer, Ford conducted a study on the reservation holders for the all-electric 2022 F-150 Lightning. The findings are surprising because 79 percent of consumers that raised their hand for a Ford F-150 Lightning are new to battery electric vehicles and this will be their first one. More than half–roughly 56 percent–also revealed that the […]

Ford has gone all-in on EV customization through its Ford Performance Parts division and it’s showing an electric crate motor at the 2021 SEMA show.

But there’s one other feature that’s relatively new from Ford that we haven’t tested yet: BlueCruise. Ford’s BlueCruise technology is a […]

The 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid’s EPA fuel economy estimates have been announced and it is now the most efficient hybrid pickup on the market. According to the EPA, the compact truck is good for 42/33/37 mpg city/highway/combined, which puts it on par with many compact crossovers. With its 13.8-gallon fuel tank, the Maverick Hybrid is […]
