Borgman Ford in Grand Rapids is pleased to announce that thanks to some fancy footwork, Ford was able to resume production of F-Series Trucks. Just in case you haven't heard, one of Ford's suppliers, Meridian Magnesium Products, was shut down after a fire broke out in their facility. This, in turn, interrupted the supply chain and halted production of F-Series trucks and a handful of other Ford Vehicles. Ford got to work with the help of a global team of experts to get Meridian back into production and recover tooling from the damaged facility. Now, production has resumed with minimal interruption. While the fire was tragic and we're keeping those injured in our thoughts, West Michigan auto shoppers need not worry about finding their next ride at Borgman. This recent article from the Official Ford Media Center tells more - here are some excerpts: Ford Restarting F-150, Super Duty Production Ahead Of Schedule After Fire At Magnesium Parts Supplier Ford Motor Company is restarting production of the popular F-150 at Dearborn Truck Plant Friday after just over one week of downtime. The company has also successfully repaired the supply chain for Super Duty, with production targeted to restart by Monday at the Kentucky Truck Plant as well as the Kansas City Assembly Plant that also makes F-150 pickups. This follows the massive May 2 fire at the Meridian Magnesium Products facility in Eaton Rapids, Mich. “While the situation remains extremely dynamic, our teams are focused on returning our plants to full production as fast as possible,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president, Global Operations. “The ramp-up time to full production is improving every day.” Ford teams, together with suppliers including Walbridge and other contractors, worked nearly around the clock to get America’s best-selling vehicle franchise back on line as quickly as possible. The teams removed 19 dies from Meridian’s badly damaged facility, and in one case, moved an 87,000-pound die from Eaton Rapids, Mich., to Nottingham, U.K., via an Antonov cargo plane – one of the largest in the world – in just 30 hours door-to-door. A die is a tool used to cut or shape material using a press. “Faced with unexpected adversity, the Ford team, including our global supply partners, showed unbelievable resiliency, turning a devastating event into a shining example of teamwork,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford’s executive vice president of Product Development and Purchasing. “Thanks to their heroic efforts, we are resuming production of some of our most important vehicles ahead of our original targets.” You can read the full article by visiting Media.Ford.com.

At Borgman Ford in Grand Rapids, it still makes us giddy when we hear the unmistakable sound of a Ford Mustang GT roaring to life. When that low rumble of the exhaust turns to a powerful roar on the open road, you know there's something special about it.  It doesn't matter if you're just getting into muscle cars or a devoted Mustang fan. Your hairs stand up on end, you may get the butterflies, or your pupils might dilate - this is all by design. Ford put considerable effort into the sound of their performance cars, with the 2019 Mustang being the most recent and dramatic example. Audio engineers have created a sound meant to provoke a primitive fight-or-flight response by studying the sound of things that were dangerous to early humans. If this all sounds a little too loud to be practical in suburbia, you can tame the wild Mustang into a little pony for the sake of your neighbors through the car's intuitive dashboard. The work Ford has done to awaken our ancient instincts is fascinating, and you can read more about it through this latest entry in the Official Ford Media Center. Below, we've gathered some excerpts from the article, but you can read the whole thing here and listen to some audio clips. Audio Engineers Tap Into Our Ancestral DNA To Enhance Our Emotional Connections To Products The next time you jump at the sound of thunder or feel an adrenaline rush when you hear the new active valve performance exhaust on the 2019 EcoBoost®-equipped Mustang, thank your prehistoric ancestors. It’s called an autonomic response, and it traces back to ancient humans who successfully learned to react quickly to loud and powerful sounds, like the roar of a lion or the crash of a tree. Over time, this fight-or-flight response to avoid danger was passed along in our DNA and hardwired into our minds and bodies. Beyond the basics of sound – loud, quiet, high/low pitch, simple or complex harmonic structures. In Dearborn, Michigan, audio designers of another sort create sounds that tap into our desire for power and thrills. “We’re probably the few engineers here who do not have to design to a number or a specification,” said Hani Ayesh, Ford exhaust development engineer. “Instead, we work to identify that signature sound DNA that connects drivers to the emotional expectation they have for a specific car.” These automotive sound engineers rely on computational analysis to design, for example, a computer-controlled active exhaust system that opens valves – much like a saxophone or a large pipe organ – to change the sound of the car based on the mood of the driver. “When I pick up my kids from school, they want to hear that growling rev of the engine,” said Ayesh, “but my wife and neighbors, not so much. So I can select the quieter ‘good neighbor’ mode, and keep them happy, too.” You can experience the powerful sound of the Ford Mustang and read the entire article by visiting Media.Ford.com.

Being a global vehicle or "world car," this latest version features design, features, and architecture that's flexible enough to contend in many different markets. This is also one of the first Ford vehicles to be borne out of Ford's new human-centered design process. Though it occupies the same footprint as the current Focus, this one features a longer hood and more effective use of interior space - both for passengers and cargo. The Global Ford Focus will also come available with a host of technology and connectivity features, including onboard WiFi. North American powertrain details have yet to be announced, so stay tuned.

For the next-generation Focus, that means: A longer hood with cab-rearward interior that provides a strong, reassuring on-road presence. While it looks bigger than the previous Focus, its overall dimensions are unchanged so it’s still easy to move about urban environments. More interior space for all passengers, so it’s easier to get in and out of the car, and more cargo area in larger global Focus models.

By 2019, 100 percent of Ford’s new U.S. vehicles will be built with connectivity.

Build Your Perfect Ford Mustang This Summer at Borgman Ford in Grand Rapids! The summer of 2018 is shaping up to be an exciting time for Ford Mustang fans, and Borgman Ford can't wait to help enthusiasts in Grand Rapids and West Michigan get on the road to adventure. On top of the hotly-anticipated Bullitt Edition being released, Ford has announced that they're bringing back the California Special - a version of the Ford Mustang that caters more towards drivers looking for a more premium, open-air experience. This article published in the Official Ford Media Center tells more about what to expect from the California Special Mustang when it arrives this summer, as well as the origins of the iconic package. Take a look: California Special Returns For 2019 Mustang, Plus Enthusiast Updates Include Rev-Matching, B&O Audio System And New Colors America’s favorite sports car gets even more style and technology for 2019 thanks to the revival of the legendary Mustang GT California Special, new technology features including rev-matching on 5.0-liter manual-equipped models, the first-ever custom-tuned B&O Play premium audio system for Mustang and three new vintage-inspired colors and over-the-top stripes. California dreaming When Mustang first hit the streets in 1964, owners clubs sprang up around the country, with many regional dealers creating their own personalized pony car designs. One – inspired by the 1967 Shelby GT notchback coupe prototype – came to be called the California Special. That original version featured blacked-out grille, fog lamps and a side racing stripe that ended ahead of a new rear fender scoop. It wore a Shelby-inspired spoiler, custom tail lamps and twist-lock hood fasteners. Impressed, Ford put a limited number of California Special cars into production for 1968. Before long, the California Special had joined the ranks of Shelby, Boss and Mach 1 special-edition Mustangs. Today, the 2019 California Special for Mustang GT is a visual standout, featuring a trademark fading stripe that traces from the 5.0 side badge to the rear fender scoop. A signature Ebony Black and Race Red script California Special badge adorns the trunk lid. At the front, the car follows the blacked-out open grille and picks up the Mustang Performance Pack 1 splitter. The California Special wears unique five-spoke painted machined wheels. Inside, driver and passengers will discover rich black Miko® suede-trimmed seats with embossed GT/CS insignia and contrast red accent stitching, and custom embroidered GT/CS floor mats. Signature California Special script badging appears on the passenger-side dash panel. “Few things are more satisfying than dropping the top on a California Special and taking a drive down the majestic Pacific Coast Highway,” said Mark Conforzi, Ford designer. “This signature design takes its cues from the original California Special, while enhancing the personality of today’s Mustang.” You can read the full article by visiting Media.Ford.com.
