One of our readers send us this photo he took in a late model Ford vehicle.

At a glance you may think this is a typical display of the instrument cluster. However there is something wrong with it.

You can see, the cars mileage is at 9,897.2 miles (which adds up from 0 mile and you cannot reset or change it); but the trip meter (which you can reset it to zero when you are starting a new trip) shows 9,897.4 miles, which is greater than the mileage value.

Obviously, the “Trip 1” meter has not been reset since the car rolls off the assembling line, so the “Trip 1” calculation should increase in sync with the mileage value accumulation...

Today, Ford officially commenced the production of the 6th-gen Mustang in its Flat Rock Plant in Michigan.

The factory is employing around 3,000 workers, who are working in a 2-shift daily schedule. The same plant is also building the US-market Fusion.

Below are some live photos taken today, and you can also see the H-arm rear suspension in one image. As a side note, the rear independent suspension that the 6th-gen Mustang uses, is a very upscale design. For more details I invite you to read our introductory article about this H-arm suspension.

Not all auto manufacturers allows you to download their new car’s window sticker online, and anonymously. This may due to concern about customer’s potential privacy.

But this is not the case for Ford. It allows you to download window sticker in high-resolution PDF format, given you know the new car’s VIN.

In US market, the Lincoln Navigator is the only body-on-frame SUV that Ford has at this moment. But this is not the case for other places in the world.

Ford is going to release the 2015 Everest in China, a new three-row seat SUV based on a body-on-frame platform, shared with the Ford Ranger pickup. The Everest will has a wheelbase of 112.2-in. There are two engine options: a 2.0L turbocharged gasoline engine, and a 3.2L turbo diesel engine.

It has been rumored since last year that, Ford and GM are working together on the 9-speed (FWD) and 10-speed (RWD) automatic transmissions (the details are, Ford is working on the 10-speed and will supply to GM; in return, GM will work on the 9-speed and supply to Ford).

Now according a report from the Automotive News, the F150 truck will get the 10-speed transmission at the end of 2015 as a 2016 model; and the same will happen on the Mustang too.

Although we do not know the exact timing of this change on each model, we can safely bet you will have a chance to feel the 10-speed in 2016.
