Here's Jim's original memo from 1986:

I think of Jim Moylan's invention every time I fill up my gas tank. Jim was a Ford engineer who noticed an issue & was inspired to solve it to make our customers' daily lives easier. Nearly 40 years later & his innovative idea still helps millions of drivers every day! www.wsj.com/business/aut...

BlueCruise can help you stay stress-free on the road, especially during long drives this holiday season. Check out how some of our customers are mapping out their road trips. www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

Great piece from one of our Ford Pro Mobile Service techs. Katie grew up on a farm doing hands-on work her whole life. Despite doubt from others, at 18 she moved into the car industry knowing she could prove them wrong & do this job just as well as anyone. www.fromtheroad.ford.com/eur/en/artic...

At Kansas City Assembly Plant, I met w/ our teams assembling the Ford Transit & F-150, as well as the skilled tradespeople who keep the plant running smoothly. Thankful for everyone’s feedback! Gemba visits help leaders see & hear directly from the people doing the work. Best way to learn & improve!

Honored to have two Ford trucks, the Maverick and the Ranger Raptor, on Car and Driver's 2026 10Best Cars, Trucks and SUVs list! www.caranddriver.com/features/a69...

Congrats to the mom! And to Waymo, a seriously cool transpo business that people trust. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Ford Maverick is MotorTrend's 2026 Truck of the Year! It's a testament to what happens when we listen to the customer & deliver a product that no one saw coming. Congrats to our team & thank you to our customers for loving the Maverick. www.motortrend.com/news/ford-ma...

Never too late to learn something new! Detroit native and proud grandpa Jeffrey Jones is a seasoned road-tripper with gas-powered vehicles but I love that he just took his first road trip in a Ford electric vehicle using BlueCruise nearly the whole way. www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

On Sunday, we welcomed the Dearborn community to the opening of Ford's new World Headquarters. Was wonderful to see our proud employees celebrate this historic moment with their families! Thank you to the architects, engineers & essential workers whose hard work created this landmark for all of us.

Ford BlueCruise was the first hands-free ADAS system of its kind approved in Great Britain in 2023 and it's since become the most widely available in Europe. Happy to announce we’re expanding BlueCruise in 2026 to include Puma, Puma Gen-E, Kuga and Ranger PHEV. ford.to/BlueCruiseEx...

On-track and off-road, Ford is now competing across 22 different racing series. For us, it's the ultimate form of research. What we learn pushing our vehicles to their limits in these races is what helps us shape the cars and trucks you'll drive tomorrow. www.detroitnews.com/story/busine...

The conversation at Michigan Central about the challenges facing the #EssentialEconomy was just the beginning. To solve this, we'll need partnerships across industries and in communities all around the country to prioritize productivity and solutions for our skilled tradespeople.

Thank you to Kimberly Gill & Lexi Abreu for kicking off #FordProAccelerate with a Town Hall. It was a great day together focusing on important topics & hear directly from those working to make a difference in the Essential Economy.

Good morning from Michigan Central! Today we’re here for #FordProAccelerate, discussing solutions and productivity for America’s Essential Economy. You can view the livestream here: www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articles/2025/ford-pro-accelerate-livestream

Looking forward to continuing the conversation on the Essential Economy and America's essential workers tomorrow at #FordProAccelerate. www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/ford-p...

AI and robotics are powerful, but so are the essential skilled workers who drive the U.S. economy forward. I talked with Walter Isaacson at Aspen Ideas Festival about why the Essential Economy depends on human hands and minds, and why that won’t change anytime soon.

I went off-roading for 3 days in a Ford Bronco to experience first-hand how customers use Bronco for work, camping & making memories. Here are 4 of my biggest takeaways from the trip: www.linkedin.com/pulse/three-...

This week we announced our new Ford headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. Over the past 6 years, we’ve been transforming our workplaces around the globe and creating great places for everyone to perform their best work. We want employees to feel proud of where they work, wherever that is in the world.

Bill Ford and I are proud to announce the next chapter in Ford's history: a new World Headquarters in Dearborn, MI. This building is a symbol of what we've been doing around the world – making improvements in our facilities & investing in our employees. www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

Grateful for the opportunity to go on this trip with the Bronco. Everything I learned will guide our next steps to keep building on #FordBronco’s success for Ford, our employees & customers. Thanks to everyone I met who took the time to speak with me! More to share, stay tuned.

Skilled tradespeople are the backbone of this country. We have a lot to lose if we don't invest in their success. Here’s my op-ed in TIME on why Ford is working to make the Essential Economy a national priority. time.com/7313207/ford...

It's been great getting to know Darin, our road trip mechanic. Full-time, he works at Ford Arizona Proving Grounds & supports the Bronco Off-Road Racing team as a chase vehicle. He built his own Bronco support trailer & can fix almost anything. That's the kind of teammate you want on the road!

Day 3 on the road in Utah. #FordBronco

Up before dawn yesterday for a live interview with FOX & Friends. What a backdrop for a morning show! And we powered the set with Pro Power Onboard from an F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid. Excited to bring Frankie Muniz along for some offroading adventures!

Had a very productive Day 2. The biggest takeaway was learning from our customers, and understanding how they use their Bronco and what else they need from us at Ford.

Another person I'm learning from this week is Caziah Franklin, a fantastic Bronco Ambassador. He's helping make the great outdoors more approachable for people that didn’t grow up in this space & encouraging them to explore off-roading. Was fun meeting him & seeing how he’s outfitted his Bronco.

Talking Ford Bronco G.O.A.T Modes. These features and the front camera really help drivers tackle any terrain.

Casey Wagoner & his family are off-road enthusiasts who’ve made a tradition of taking family trips all the way from Michigan to Utah. They showed me the smart mods they made to help make road trips more fun. Love hearing stories like this, families using Broncos to make lifelong memories!

Couldn't have asked for a better Day 1 for this trip. Already learning a lot about what we should do next for Bronco…

Great meeting w/ Sheriff Wiggins of the Grand County Sheriff’s office. His team's using a Bronco for Search & Rescue ops & it gives them the reliability they need. Was helpful hearing about the modifications they made & got good ideas for how we can make the interior more useful for law enforcement.

A few quick thoughts as we hit the road on Day 1 of my Bronco trip...

Starting my trip at Bronco Off-Roadeo Moab. The location is beautiful, right along the Colorado River. Incredible team here & lots of customers hitting the trails with expert drivers to learn what their Broncos can do. It’s always more than they realize! www.broncooffroadeo.com

This week I’m off-roading in a Ford Bronco through remote & iconic trails out West. We’re taking full advantage of Bronco’s tech to go where few other vehicles can. Meeting some great people along the way & learning how we can make Bronco even better! www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

In just 10 months, over 12,000 customers received complimentary home chargers & standard installation across 50 states. With Ford Power Promise, they don’t worry about range anxiety. They charge overnight & start the day with a full ‘tank’ every time. www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articl...

This summer marked the 30th anniversary of Woodward Dream Cruise. A Detroit tradition & one of the largest celebrations of car culture in the country. The Motor City really shows up when it’s time to show off their cars! Here are some of the Ford vehicles on display this year.
