Happy day-before-Friday, y'all. We have a cool new video series to tell you about today, courtesy of Ford. "Behind the Ride" will give viewers a view into a unique world: that of the cowboys and bulls of the Professional Bull Rider Tour. So saddle up and hold on tight, because it's going to be a wild ride, complete with behind-the-scenes footage and some fascinating stories.
Picture this: you’re living in the 1920s and you and a good friend have decided to spend a little time out in nature, doing some camping.
You set up your tent and build a campfire and then see what appears to be a convoy of light duty trucks, and many individuals on foot, making their way past your camping spot. What is going on? You get closer to take a look and realize with excitement, that one of the individuals walking is none other than Henry Ford.
If you drive with your tailgate down, you're going to be more aerodynamic on the highway, right?
The tailgate of your Ford F-150 seems like it would act as a parachute. After all, if you held up a thick piece of aluminum broad-face into the wind, you would feel a tremendous amount of wind-resistance.
Being aerodynamic is a key component to fuel efficiency.
Logically, lowering the tailgate should make you more streamlined.
This logic only works because you can't see the wind with the naked eye.
In honor of #ThrowbackThursday, we at Ed Kenley Ford are excited to highlight a little snippet of Ford history. When it comes to environmental sustainability, Ford has always moved pretty quickly, prioritizing new sources of power and technology at every corner. In fact, Ford is especially close to the current electric vehicle movement, considering Henry Ford knew Thomas Edison personally. Learn more about how they influenced each other's careers in the link below!
Do you ever dream of saying, “Adios!” to your job and heading out to live a new life of travel? What would it be like to live and work completely on the road, stopping to explore locales that interested you most?
For many entrepreneurs this is becoming a way of life. Called, “location independence,” professionals who take to the street (literally) are working in motorhomes as they tour the country. The only things needed are a strong Wi-Fi signal and a sense of adventure.
Three cheers for our esteemed American automaker! It did a downright dazzling job in reimagining its midsize crossover, the Ford Edge, for the 2015 model year.
Wondering what exactly went into the Edge's makeover? Well, put those questions to bed as Autotrader critic, Jabari Jones, is here to explain:
Four unique trims comprise the Edge model catalog. Arguably the best value proposition of the bunch is the excellently appointed base model, the SE.
Standard features on this trim include 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlamps, a 4.2-inch display screen, rearview camera ...
The newest #FordTrends video features Sheryl Connelly, Manager of Global Consumer Trends and Futuring, discussing the "Carryless" movement. Basically, people don't want to carry things anymore. Bitcoin, Apple Pay, Google Wallet, subscription-based services, smartphone apps, and wearable technology are slowly eliminating the need to carry physical items like wallets or purses.
