Ford
American automaker founded in 1903 by Henry Ford. Home of the F-Series - the best-selling vehicle in the United States for over four decades - as well as the Mustang, Bronco, and Explorer. Electric models include the Mustang Mach-E and the F-150 Lightning.
Ford CEO Jim Farley says the company's benchmark factories today are in Mexico and China rather than the US, pointing to stronger process discipline and line-level problem solving, while crediting UAW-staffed US plants with real progress that helped Ford rank first among mass-market brands in J.D. Power's 2026 initial quality study.
Shelby American has revealed the F-150 Super Snake SuperCrew, its most powerful street truck yet, built from a Ford F-150 Lariat with a Whipple supercharger added to the 5.0L V8 for 830 hp. Only 300 will be built, split evenly between rear- and all-wheel drive, with the conversion starting at approximately $105,000 on top of the donor truck. First deliveries begin in 2026, aimed squarely at the supercharged Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT.
Ford ranked first among mass-market brands in J.D. Power's 2026 Initial Quality Study, but CEO Jim Farley says he is not satisfied because Ford still leads the industry in recall campaigns. Ford has issued 56 recalls covering 12.1 million vehicles so far in 2026, after a record 153 recalls covering nearly 13 million vehicles in 2025.
Ford Motor Company is one of the oldest continuously operating automakers in the world. Founded in Dearborn, Michigan in 1903, it pioneered the moving assembly line and mass automobile production, making personal transportation accessible to the broad public.
Today Ford operates across three business units: Ford Blue (combustion and hybrid models), Ford Pro (commercial vehicles), and Ford Model e (electric vehicles). The F-Series pickup has been the United States’ top-selling vehicle every year since 1977, with annual sales consistently exceeding 700,000 units.
The Super Duty line - F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-600 - serves professional and heavy-duty hauling needs, sitting above the F-150 in capability and payload. These trucks are built at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant.
Ford’s EV division (Model e) has reported substantial losses through 2025–2026 as demand for electric trucks and crossovers grew more slowly than projected. The company is pivoting toward extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) and affordable hybrids to close the gap.
