About Ford

Ford also called Ford Motor Company refers to an American Automobile company with its headquarter located at Dearborn, Michigan. The company was established by Henry Ford together with various other associate investors in 1903. In 1919, Ford was reincorporated and Ford, Clara (Ford’s wife), and Edsel (Ford’s son) acquired full ownership of it. While the first car was assembled in 1903, the company made a breakthrough in 1908.

In 1911, Ford developed the first assembly plant in the United States and the first subsidiary in Manchester, England. Some of the models produced under Ford Brand include Ford Explorer and Ford Raptor. Ford Explorer was first developed in 1991 as a sports utility vehicle. It is a seven-seat vehicle with a premium interior and high-tech features. The Ford Explorer is a 290-hp turbo V-6 and front-wheel drive, with optional all-wheel drive. On the other hand, the Ford Raptor is an innovative pick-up truck from Ford and it will be available in the Fall of 2016.

It is far much lighter than other predecessors in that it is made of military-grade, high-strength aluminum alloy. Ford Raptor has a strong 12-valve engine and an automatic transmission system that relays more power to its four wheels.
