Northland Ford

If you're tuned in to the latest news surrounding new Ford vehicles, then Northland Ford is guessing you already know that the all-new 2013 Ford Escape is already in high demand. Set to arrive on dealership lots in the very near future, the forthcoming Escape has already seen over 8,000 pre-orders at this point in time.

What happens when you put engineers in the new Ford model they created? Hilarity ensues. In an effort to show fans, consumers, and Ford engineers themselves just how much potential the Ford Taurus truly holds, the automaker took nine of its team members on the ride of their lives.

Motorsports fans who love the fuel-efficient Ford Fiesta are in for a treat. Actually, motorsports fans of any kind are bound to be excited. Excited for what? Ford has announced the availability of a B-Spec racing kit for the Fiesta.

Currently, India sits as Asia's third-largest economy with economic growth projected to hit 7 percent for the 2012 fiscal year. Within this growing market, new Ford vehicles hold significant weight. In order to meet increasing demand, the automaker just broke ground on an entirely new Ford facility.

Back in 2009, Ford took the throne as the king of hybrid sedans with its fuel-efficient Ford Fusion Hybrid. Since then, other automakers have clamored to reach the top, spitting out new hybrid models within the highly competitive field. Now, Ford is set to regain its royalty with a revamped gas-electric Fusion variant.

We love ourselves some Ford Transit Connect. The funky-looking little vanlet is so endearingly functional that we're happy to forgive its lackluster drivetrain and questionable interior. Now it appears that Ford aims to address at least one of these ails with its big brother, the upcoming larger Transit Van.

Ford has announced that buyers of the van that will eventually replace the aged Econoline in America will be able to order Ford's twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that puts power to the Transit's rear wheels. Ford hasn't released any specifics on power output or fuel economy just yet, but the same engine is good for a heavenly 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque when bolted to the F-150 where it accounts for 40 percent of sales.

Even in that heavier chassis, the EcoBoost V6 returns 18 mpg combined compared to 23 mpg combined for the smaller Transit Connect Van with its 136-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Ford also hasn't said what we can expect in terms of tow rating or gross vehicle weight, though those are certain to keep pace with the current E-Series van as a result of the staggering amount of torque available from the turbocharged, direct-injection Ecoboost V6.

Different markets hold different consumers with different tastes. As obvious as it might sound, some automakers neglect to take this trend into account when choosing where to deliver new vehicles. This results in the unsuccessful integration of models into areas where they simply cannot thrive. Fortunately for us, Ford is not one of these automakers.

Nothing ruins a pleasant, peaceful drive in a new Ford vehicle like noisy road gravel or wind ferociously whipping at your windows. Fortunately, our favorite automaker understands and has taken impressive measures to make sure this doesn't occur.
