Our team at Cleburne Ford is often asked, what makes a great truck? Well, we always tell people that a great truck has a great design. This is one of the reasons why Ford trucks have been so popular over the years. Ford always develops a great truck design before trying to build great trucks.

The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is one of the latest trucks that Ford will be introducing to the world. In many ways, just like previous trucks that have been built by Ford, the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is a great truck. The reason is the…

At first blush, the 2017 Ford Raptor is formidable to behold. Of course, it has to be. Riding on giant wheels with a muscular frame and unique styling and gear vetted specifically for use on the trails, its purpose is clear. Yet, as it often is with such mighty beasts, their true beauty lies in the little devilish details.

If we’ve learned one thing about the Ford Escape since its inception, it’s that it’s a long distance runner in every sense of the word. In short, the mantle of the Blue Oval’s top selling compact crossover is one of enjoying the journey as it comes, rather than sprinting to the finish. So it comes as no surprise to us that for the 2017 refresh, Ford has refined these qualities to be better than ever.

Created by Ford, this transmission is the first volume-production 10-speed automatic transmission available to consumers. Compared to the previous six-speed transmission used in the F-150, the new 10-speed has smoother acceleration and performance, making for a much more enjoyable ride.

If we at Cleburne Ford were to tally the top traits of the 2016 Ford Mustang, our staple of the sports car class, we'd likely have to dedicate an entire month's worth of blog posts to the endeavor. That list, as it turns out, is quite a long one.

So, instead, we'd like to pair you up with Autotrader pundit Jabari Jones. Discover his feelings on one of Ford's feistiest in the clip below:

The Mustang's mid-level engine option -- a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder termed EcoBoost -- promises to be one of the more popular powertrain…

Delivering fun and frugality in spades is the Fusion's available turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Optional on the SE trim, this four-banger produces a healthy 181 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed…
