No, a Ford Expedition did not drive from Russia to Canada via the North Pole, but that's exactly what a team of intrepid explorers accomplished recently. Using specially-modified buses with massive tires, the group slowly drove 4,000 kilometres (2,485 miles) in 70 days over drifting ice, occasionally using a pickaxe to clear a path and staying on guard ...

A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be ...

Ah, Florida... how we love you so. After all, it almost always seems that the most unlikely, impossible and otherwise head-scratchingest stories filter up north from the Sunshine State. Take, for instance, the video you'll see below. It's not terribly uncommon for a car to come into contact with an owl; what's interesting about this story is that the owl ...

As the rest of the U.S. Automakers emerge from underneath the specter of the bailouts and bankruptcies, Ford continues to perform well in Canada. The sales of more fuel efficient vehicles bolstered the purchases of Ford products to help them claim the highest amount of new cars sold in Canada both in May and the highest year-to-date. Car sales are up an ...

Due to a pigment shortage stemming from the March 11 earthquake in Japan, Ford has had to stop taking new orders for cars in Tuxedo Black, and is limiting orders of three shades of red. Officials from Ford say they're working on another source for the pigment as you read this, and have enough cars in each color to satisfy demand until production ...

Ordinarily looking like something you'd expect to see dragging Indiana Jones behind on a rope, the Mercedes-Benz Zetros is not exactly the pinnacle of luxury for which the Silver Star has become known to upscale buyers. But that doesn't mean it can't change. Two businessmen in Mongolia have ordered a matching pair of the six-wheel-drive cargo truck and ...

Still Viable? It's tough out there for full-size sport-utility vehicles right now. As the vast SUV market continues to collapse in the face of the economic downturn, the vehicles that were once considered the height of suburban fashion have been relegated to the back of the showrooms, emerging only when a hybrid-electric version can be touted. ...
