In Dearborn, Michigan, a colony of about 80,000 honeybees helps pollinate one of the largest living roofs in America. The entire 454,000-square-foot roof of the Ford Rouge Complex is planted with Sedum -- a type of succulent that stores water efficiently in its leaves. These plants can hold up to an inch of rainwater, reducing runoff, and filtering any water that does run off the roof.

While the living roof supports the local watershed, the bees help the Sedum plants thrive. Helping the bees thrive is Mary Mason, a product design engineer for Ford, who became the company's…

On a hot Phoenix summer drive, wouldn't it be nice if there was always a supply of fresh drinking water beside you? If your air conditioner is running, then your car is already creating water via condensation. On especially humid days, this could amount to over half a gallon per hour!

Currently, this condensation is dumped out onto the road, but one day new Ford vehicles may be…

In the halcyon days of SUVs, they were based off of a brand’s formidable truck lineup. But these days, the platforms are usually derived from cars, hence “crossovers.” But the 2016 Ford Explorer, recently updated for this model year, is no such beast. Large and brawny, it backs up its legacy of beast mode with some pretty impressive options.

In a press release from Ford earlier this week, the automaker announced a new EcoBoost engine option for the 2017 Ford F-150. The 3.5-liter V-6 improves its torque rating to 470 pound-feet, 50 pound-feet more than its predecessor. That's more than all diesel- and gasoline-powered competitors, including V-8 engines with nearly twice the displacement...

Have you kept pace with our blog page here at Camelback Ford Lincoln? If so, you may well have caught our prior post, in which we profiled our funky full-size crossover, the Flex.

Continuing with that theme today, we'd now like to redirect the spotlight to the Flex's smaller sibling, the 2016 Ford Edge. Pair up with Autotrader personality, Jabari Jones, for a closer look:

Though every Edge engine option has its appeal, we'd argue that the mid-level iteration -- a 3.5-liter V6 -- is among its very best. Optional with the SEL and Titanium trims, this naturally…

A full-size crossover that cares not for the likes of convention, the Ford Flex has been marching to the beat of its own drum since it first hit the scene back in 2009.

So, what sort of tricks might the current iteration have up its sleeve? Autotrader critic, Jabari Jones, addresses this query and many more in the video review below. Check it out:

If your need for speed is particularly pronounced, the Flex's available engine upgrade -- the EcoBoost -- is sure to satisfy. Optional only on the top-tier Limited trim, this turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 musters a meaty 365…

We here at Camelback Ford Lincoln have to hand it to our esteemed American automaker. It did a most excellent job with its spectacular sports car, the 2016 Ford Mustang.

Wondering what we like best about it? Well, we think you'll find plenty of reason throughout the clip below, a video review of the Mustang from Autotrader pundit, Jabari Jones. Take a look and listen right here:

Arguably our favorite powertrain of the pack, the mid-level EcoBoost iteration is exquisite. Good for a hearty 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, this turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder may be had…

In case you missed it, earlier this year, Ford announced an innovative new technology for the Fusion V6 Sport, due to launch this summer...

This morning, Ford Motor Company issued a press release announcing that it is extending its Special Service Vehicle package to the 2016 F-150. The new addition allows Ford to better meet the different needs of its variety of law enforcement customers...
