For anyone looking into purchasing a new pickup truck, the first thing you should take into consideration is the payload of the truck. This is important for a variety of reasons — the most obvious being that it's great for anyone looking for heavy-duty towing jobs. For anyone looking for a truck with astounding payload, there's one truck that's tougher than the competition - the Ford Super Duty.

With its impressive payload of up to 7,630 pounds — and max towing weight of up to 32,500 pounds — the Ford Super Duty is built to be the strongest, most…

There are a lot of legendary families out there. The Lannisters, the Sopranos, and the Ford Focus just to name a few. But where the first two mostly use their powers for evil, the Focus uses it to delight their drivers with fun handling characteristics, efficiency, and some pretty impressive add ons. And did we mention it comes in many different powertrain iterations?

The Ford pickup lineup has been undergoing a pretty sizeable overhaul as of late. Starting with the 2015 model year, the Dearborn automaker has been transitioning first its half-ton, and then its larger options to new fully-boxed steel frames and aluminum alloy. The results? Tougher, more efficient trucks. The same can also be said of the upcoming 2017 Raptor.

Did you know there is a game where, when you grow up a digital plant in the game, you make the planet greener in real life?

It's called Efficiency Leaves, and it can be found in every Ford hybrid model.

"People are really attuned to this idea of competition and fun," says Jeff Greenberg, Ford Human Factors Researcher. "This is how human beings learn. We could have put a little efficiency gauge that would've gone up or down…

On Long Island, the issue of climate change and sea-level rise hits close to home. Literally.

In Levittown, we should stay high and dry even by the highest end-of-century estimates for sea level rise (7 feet by 2100). It would take a 100-foot rise in sea level to drown our Ford showroom, and even more before Hicksville goes under the surf -- but it could happen, eventually, if the ice sheets on…

Ford's industry-first factory-option LED strobe warning light kit has already been offered on the 2016 F-Series Super Duty. Now, Ford is also opening the option to new F-150 fleet customers.

The flashing amber-lens LEDs were designed with utility, municipal, or construction crews in mind, to alert passing motorists of the presence of workers near the road.

"Ford designed the first-ever factory-installed LED warning light kit based on fleet customer input," said Kent Bock, Ford commercial accessory business development manager. "Because it comes directly from Ford, customers

The 2017 Ford Fusion, arriving in Levittown this spring, will be the first of the Ford lineup to offer adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability.

What does this mean?

It means stop-and-go traffic is about to get a lot easier on your ankles.

Normally -- before it became the future -- you set your cruise control and the car goes one speed. If traffic slows down, you have to tap the brakes. If traffic is continually slowing and speeding, and stopping and starting, as traffic is wont to do, then you can pretty much forget about cruise control.

Not only is this…
