The Ford F-150 - Harley Davidson Edition

The 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 delivers a new standard of "custom cool," combining the smooth handling and legendary durability of America's best-selling truck with the authentic styling of Harley-Davidson, the industry leader in motorcycles.

This marks the 14th Harley-Davidson edition of an F-Series truck and latest in a line of Ford Harley-Davidson F-Series models dating back to 2000, which aim to appeal to customers who appreciate quality and unique details only this kind of collaboration can bring. The 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 is the first Harley-Davidson edition vehicle built off the award-winning new 2009 Ford F-150.

"This truck builds on the legacy of toughness that's been the hallmark of the Ford F-Series brand," said Matt O'Leary, chief engineer. "Now we're giving customers more of everything they love with the best F-150 and the boldest Harley-Davidson F-150 ever - featuring a fully differentiated design, all-wheel-drive capability, 22-inch wheels and a knockout interior."

The exterior of the 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 offers a bold front fascia and six-bar shaped billet-style grille, and boasts specialized forged-aluminum and Harley-Davidson chrome badging. The truck will have a lowered appearance because of its fully integrated deployable running boards.

Also featured are 22-inch, low-profile performance tires and Euroflange-forged wheels, each with a polished and painted center wheel cap. The paint selection is classic Harley-Davidson - Tuxedo Black and the first Ford application of Lava, a deep maroon with three-color metal flake. The interior is customized to appeal to the truck buyer who appreciates the attention to detail for which both Ford and Harley-Davidson are renowned. Also impressive are the seats and console lid, which features handmade cloisonne badges; the console has a limited-edition serial plate.

Linkage is apparent even in the smallest details, such as adornments on the seats.
"The theme of the seat was designed to resemble a Harley biker jacket," Schiavone said. "We even used authentic materials you'd find on Harley-Davidson MotorClothes brand apparel."
The seat backs feature ribbed leather treatments, engraved Harley-Davidson button snaps and even zippered map pockets featuring zippers from Harley jackets.

On the new F-150, there's a wealth of content complementing its unique appearance. The 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 is equipped with a 5.4-liter three-valve engine, which is rated up to 320 hp and 390 lb.-ft. of torque, and is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with a sport-tuned exhaust. Top speed is 115 mph. The truck will be available with 4x2 or an optional all-wheel drive, which features settings of 4x2, AWD and 4x4 high, unique to the Harley-Davidson edition on the F-150 platform. All 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 models will be SuperCrew models.

2010 Fusion Hybrid and 2009 Escape Hybrid make Kelley Blue Book's Top 10 Green Cars list

2010 Fusion Hybrid and 2009 Escape Hybrid make Kelley Blue Book's (http://www.kbb.com/) "Top 10 Green Cars" list.

Both the Fusion and Escape Hybrids do everything great hybrids should do - in terms of providing excellent fuel economy - and at the same time, drive like conventional vehicles.
The recognition is not only based on fuel economy and powertrain, but features such as comfort, convenience, safety and value for the money. The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid provides 41 mpg in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway, making it North America's most fuel-efficient midsize sedan.

The Fusion Hybrid handily out-economizes both the Toyota Camry (EPA estimated 33 mpg city/34 mpg hwy) and the Chevy Malibu (EPA estimated 26 mpg city/34 mpg hwy).
Another factor that distinguishes the Fusion Hybrid from other hybrid vehicles is SmartGauge with EcoGuide, a unique instrument cluster execution that helps coach drivers on how to optimize the performance of their hybrid. In addition to smart technology, the 2010 Fusion Hybrid offers a variety of advanced safety features. The vehicle received a "Top Safety Pick" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and delivers available segment-exclusive safety and driver-aid technologies, such as Ford SYNC with 911 Assist and Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert. Further enhancing its "green" sheen, the Fusion Hybrid features sustainable interior materials including seats that are made from eco-friendly fabric and filled with soy-based seat foam.

2009 Ford Escape Hybrid

The 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid earned a spot on kbb.com's inaugural "Top 10 Green Cars" list last year. This year marks the brand's second consecutive win. Aside from its high quality carbon footprint rating and its compact size, the Escape Hybrid is easy to drive around town and is comfortable on long highway trips. The Escape Hybrid provides 34 mpg in city driving, and like the Fusion Hybrid, features comfort-designed seats with soy-based foam that substitutes for petroleum-based products, and seat fabrics are made from post-industrial 100 percent recycled materials.
