Ford done some pretty wild things when it comes to integrating sustainable practices into its current model lineup. From using soy foam in almost all of its vehicles, to using REPREVE fabric for the seating of the new 2016 F-150, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. Ford even went so far as to use coconut fibers to create durable, eco-friendly truck bed liners. However, now Ford stands poised to pioneer a new frontier of sustainability, and clean up the atmosphere while doing so!

Happy Earth Day folks! Here at Lithia Ford of Missoula, we know that eco-friendliness is on every car buyer's mind, which why today we'd like to highlight some things Ford is doing with its new 2016 F-150 at its Dearborn, Michigan plant to lower overall carbon emissions and produce a more efficient breed of truck.

Ford promises that 2017 Super Duty pickup is packed with new features and technology to make getting any job completed not only easier and more efficient, but safer, as well.

And besides the expected array of performance, durability, and comfort upgrades, Ford has added a great new feature to its newest Super Duty, dubbed Trailer Reverse Guidance.

“I want to be a doctor when I grow up.”

How many times have you heard that statement by a child? Few will actually go on to become a physician, but those who do need a lot of determination to get there. Bernhard Schonsee, a urologist, has enjoyed his work helping people for many years. It’s time, however, to seek out a different career path now.

The doctor has always, in fact, wanted to be a professional chef. Along with his girlfriend, who works in the food industry, Bernhard has long-term plans to open a restaurant someday.

The top pick for most pickup drivers for the past thirty-nine years has been the Ford F-150. With award-winning grunt, best-in-class gas mileage, and some pretty beastly standard features, its appeal has continued through 2016 with the launch of the aluminum-bodied model. Better yet, it remains a Consumer Reports top pick.

The racing season got off to a great start for Ford last Friday, as a pair of Mustang-inspired Shelby GT350R-C race cars swept the top two podium spots in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, at Daytona International Speedway. It was the car's first win at Daytona.

Drivers Billy Johnson and Scott Maxwell earned their second win as a duo in the GT350R-C...

However, the really cool thing here is the V6 Sport option; you can get the Fusion with a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine making a whopping 325 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.
