Ford is recalling about 1.4 million F-150 pickups due to a gearshift sensor issue that can cause the transmission to downshift on its own, potentially reducing vehicle control; affected owners will be notified and dealers will replace parts after letters go out on April 27, with a wrench light as a possible warning. Despite the recall news, Ford stock rose about 3.5% as investors shrugged it off, and the company celebrated a Mustang GTD win at the Nurburgring; analysts currently rate F as a Hold with upside of roughly 7–8%.

Ford ramps up F-150 hybrid production amid EV sales slump

Ford plans to double production of its hybrid F-150 pickup truck in response to slower-than-expected sales of its all-electric vehicles. The company aims to increase sales of the hybrid model to roughly 20% during the 2024 model year in the U.S. Ford's CEO, Jim Farley, stated that the automaker would quadruple production of gas-electric hybrids as it continues to increase EV production at a slower pace. The decision to increase production follows high demand for hybrid models, with hybrids accounting for over 60% of sales for the Ford Maverick small pickup. Ford believes the F-150 hybrid could become the best-selling hybrid in North America.

"Unique DIY Ford Bronco Built on 2004 F-150 Proves Its Worth"

A DIY Ford Bronco built from a 2004 F-150 is listed for sale at $20,000. Crafted by Dan Hickey, the custom off-roader involved stripping the bed, doors, electrical system, interior, and safety devices, as well as cutting two and a half feet from the frame. A custom-fabricated body lift was added, along with a roll hoop for rigidity. The back half of the Bronco was closed in with a Leer truck bed topper, and the roof is not removable. The vehicle is powered by a remanufactured 5.4-liter V8 and features stock suspension, Raptor wheels, and BF Goodrich all-terrain tires. Hickey hopes to build another one in the future.

Ford to Release Software Update for Ear-Piercing Noises in F-150 Speakers

Ford will issue a software update to address the "ear piercing" noises reported by customers with 2022 F-150 trucks, which sound like static or glass shattering and cannot be turned off. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is monitoring the situation, and potentially affected vehicles include the 2021-2023 models of the Ford Expedition, the 2022 F-150 Lightning, and both hybrid and gas versions of 2021-2023 F-150 trucks. Ford believes the issue does not warrant a recallable safety defect and will distribute the software update to mute unwanted sound through the amplifier.
