  • Ford and Natural Balance Pet Food team up for world's largest float: infographic

    What do Natural Balance pet food, Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, the Rose Parade, and the Guinness Book of World Records have in common? One massive dog-themed parade float. The longest, heaviest parade float in the world, in fact. Just how long and heavy? It's 116 feet long and weighs in at more than 100,000 pounds. Why so huge? Because there is a beach and 6,600 gallons of water on board, enabling trained dogs to actually surf waves on the float, with the waves generated by the world's first mobile wave machine. Yes, it's completely ridiculous, but it's also kind of awesome. So how do you...

  • 2013 Ford Fusion augmented reality app

    If you're the kind of person who has too little time to test drive cars for real before you buy them, then Ford's new augmented reality app for the 2013 Ford Fusion could be just the thing you need. Of course, it won't let you actually test drive the car, that'd be silly (though we aren't ruling it out, one day...). Instead, it lets customers involve themselves in Ford's reveal of the Fusion, using virtual images of the car. Users have to take a photo of a Ford logo using their smartphone's camera, and then they'll be able to drive the new Fusion through a series of "worlds" that gradually...

    Ford Employees First To Get Benefits Of New MyFord Touch

    MyFord Touch hasn't been the success story that Ford perhaps hoped it would.

Ford owners weren't so much...

    The 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 was unveiled at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show last month, and we were there to cover it. What isn't widely known, however, is that the car on the show floor didn't have the new 5.8-liter, 650-horsepower engine under the hood. It still had the previous 5.4-liter...

    2013 Ford Escape Live Photos: 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show

    If this year's Los Angeles Auto Show was all about sedans and SUVs, then the most important among them may have been the all-new 2013 Ford Escape. The longer, lower, sleeker, and more feature-packed compact crossover replaces a model that's now a decade old--and still one of the best-selling in its...

  • 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca live photos

    When it comes to muscle cars, few are more muscular than the Mustang Boss 302, particularly in Laguna Seca trim, and especially when it's painted in School Bus Yellow. That makes the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 in these live images a sort of muscle trifecta. Bred in spirit from Parnelli Jones' winning 1970 Trans-Am series Boss 302, the current model adds some new styling flair (a more prominent nose, restyled tail, and tweaked accents and trim, among other bits) and retains the 5.0-liter V-8, track-ready suspension tuning, and limited-edition status. For the full list of updates on the 2013...
