A full-size crossover with a knack for standing out from the crowd, the 2016 Ford Flex is most definitely anything but ordinary.

There are two distinctive drivetrains available for the Flex. The first, a 3.5-liter V6, generates an impressive 287 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque.

Things get a good bit more interesting, however, with the optional ...

A lot of trucks out there can claim beast mode, and we'd say we agree for the most part. The towing, hauling, and overall utility game is pretty hot right now (although the F-150 is still best-in-class--sorry, not sorry). But when it comes to off-road chops and the talent for breaching dunes like a mighty sand whale, the Ford SVT Raptor is where it's at.

In honor of the Jeep brand's 75th anniversary, our favorite 4x4 SUV-maker is spearheading a fabulous campaign called "My Jeep Story" which Jeep lovers from around the world, (including you!) can play a part in.

Yesterday, Ford Mobile Food Pantries delivered baby formula and diapers to metro Detroit non-profits. The donation was made possible thanks to a contribution of $100,000 to Gleaners Community Food Bank from the Ford Motor Company Fund, the automaker's philanthropic arm. Thanks to help from The Kroger Company, Gleaners was able to stretch the donation, purchasing enough food and diapers...

There's something about being a Mustang enthusiast that seems to make people more likely to prefer to conduct their own automotive maintenance and repairs. Maybe it has to do with the intimate connection so many drivers feel with their Mustang model, whether it's because of its exceptional handling on the streets of Dale, IN or the Ford brand's knack for crafting accommodating interiors.

We subject our cars, specifically our car interiors, to a lot. We consume food and beverages inside of them, throw our bags around, and let our dirty, snotty, rambunctious kids clamber around in the back. A recent FordSocial text looks at how engineers zero in on fabric that resists scratches and stains.

Are you a woman who loves the outdoors more than any other place? If not, you likely know someone who fits this description.

What would it be like to get together with other women—a lot of other women—who feel the same way? Sisters on the Fly is a national organization dedicated to empowering women through outdoor adventures.

Thousands of members belong to this group which meets at events around the country.

If you have kids, you know how immersed they can get in their fun: a pile of sheets and pillows can become a fort within minutes, or a box of craft supplies can take over the kitchen and become project after project. Or perhaps you remember these instances or others from your own childhood. IN any case, Ford wants to take you back to that free, happy, engaged feeling you had as a child. And they want to take you back to it in a Ford Fusion.
