Ford
Ford spans more of this site's coverage than almost any brand: America's best-selling F-Series trucks, the Mustang's sixty-year muscle lineage, Britain's beloved (departed) Fiesta and Focus, and now the Universal EV platform gamble headlined by the $28,350 Fathom pickup. Ford's strengths are scale, truck know-how and cars that drive better than their prices suggest; its recurring weaknesses are quality wobbles (the EcoBoost wet-belt saga) and strategy zigzags on EVs. Few brands generate more search interest — or more strongly held opinions.
