You’ve been car shopping and you’re wondering what makes Fords different from other brands.

Ford Motor Company entered the business world on June 16, 1903, when Henry Ford and 11 business associates signed the company’s articles of incorporation. Today, the company has about 300,000 employees and 108 plants worldwide.

The F series of trucks has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States for decades. The F-series trucks remain the most respected commercial truck available. The Ford modular engines will easily go 300,000 miles if maintained, and the transmissions and axles are very reliable.

The product line is respected by industry experts and is qualitatively seen to be a step above many of its competitors. In addition, Ford is known for great customer satisfaction.

Ford has recognized the importance of small, fuel efficient vehicles and is actively transitioning into this market. Of particular interest is Ford’s ‘EcoBoost’ technology, which will result in 20 percent greater fuel efficiency and 15 percent fewer CO2 emissions.

The three-cylinder 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine has won the International Engine of the Year award for 2012 and 2013.

Ford is also perceived to be the most stable American car manufacturer because it has not been forced to take bailout money. 

Basically, our cars and our company are reliable and trustworthy. What more could you ask for?
