The Ford F-Series has long been the best-selling truck in the United States, and for very good reason. It is, simply put, the best at what it does. The 2015 line of Ford Super Duty trucks continues to expand on a tradition of rugged excellence and pure, raw capability. Ford’s Turbo Diesel engine continues to lead the pack among the various diesel workhorses on the market, powering a truck that boasts best-in-class fuel economy, tow capacity, horsepower, and torque.

The standard 6.2L V8 gasoline engine in the 2015 Super Duty is also at the top of its class, delivering 385 horsepower and 405 lb.-ft. of torque. No other heavy-duty pickups with gas engines offer that kind of power. However, the real star of the Ford Super Duty series of pickups is the 6.7L Turbo Diesel. This turbocharged workhorse gives your new Ford truck the requisite power to take the top spot among heavy duty pickups for payload and towing capacity.

There are a vast array of combinations of bed and cab sizes, trim levels, and chassis variations available for the Super Duty, so you’ll have no issue finding a new Ford truck to fit your needs and your budget. There are trims that are built for getting dirty work done as well as more upscale, luxurious trim levels, like the King Ranch edition that features beautiful wood accents and soft, rich leather seats sourced from Texas’ famed King Ranch. Whatever level of luxury you roll out of the Ford dealership in, know that the truck you buy from Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Humble, TX was purpose-built to be the toughest truck on or off the road. More than 10 million miles of cumulative testing ensures that your Turbo Diesel engine can excel in even the harshest conditions.

As a company, Ford has long demonstrated a commitment to environmental sustainability. Ford Motor Company was recently recognized by the Michigan Blue Economy Report, an overview of Michigan’s efforts to maintain the natural beauty and balance of the Great Lakes area and to foster sustainable and responsible water use practices. Through collaboration between Michigan-based businesses, the state government, and monitoring organizations, the Michigan Blue Economy aims to promote long-lasting protection of the Great Lakes’ natural resources.

Ford has made impressive strides in reducing the environmental impact of its various facilities and its water use across the board. Interbrand ranked Ford #1 on its list of the 50 Best Global Green Brands, thanks in no small part to Ford’s Global Water Management Initiative that the company launched in 2000. Under this plan, Ford aimed to reduce its water use by 3 percent annually. This goal was increased in 2011, aiming to reduce water use by 30 percent per car built by 2015. Ford achieved this two years ahead of schedule, back in 2013.

Between 2000 and 2013, Ford reduced its overall global water consumption by an astounding 61 percent. That equates to about 10 billion gallons worldwide! Over this same period, Ford facilities across the globe reduced their annual water consumption from 64 million cubic meters to 25 million cubic meters. This was achieved by pioneering new manufacturing processes that help reduce water consumption in everything from factory cooling towers (one of the biggest consumers of water at Ford plants) to painting vehicles coming off the assembly line. More closely monitoring water consumption through the use of water meters has helped Ford identify even more ways to save water.

Between the extensive efforts to reduce water consumption in every possible part of the manufacturing process, the widespread use of recycled materials in many of its models, and its growing stable of hybrid and electric vehicles, Ford is and intends to remain the leader in environmental conservation and sustainability among the major automakers. Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Humble is proud to be part of this tradition by offering the greenest cars on the market. Being green doesn’t end with fuel economy, after all; it is important to constantly look for ways to improve and lessen the impact a business has on its surroundings. This is something that Ford Motor Company does very well and will continue to do so.

Ford’s 2015 model year has been an impressive one, with multiple models winning noted awards; the 2015 F-150 received multiple top safety awards as well as the North American Truck of the Year Award. The C-MAX Hybrid has placed on more than one list of the top green cars of 2015, and the 2015 Ford Mustang won the Vincentric Best Value for Sports Cars award. Now, Vincentric has named the Ford Transit and Transit Connect as having the Best Fleet Value in America in six of the nine categories for vans! The Ford Transit took the top spot for full-size ½- and 1-ton passenger vans and full-size ½-, ¾-, and 1-ton cargo vans. The Transit Connect XLT was named the top Mini Passenger Commercial Van.

Ford’s Transit vans replaced the E-Series line and offers a huge variety of options for customizing it to fit a business’ exact needs. There are three roof height options and three wheelbase length options that results in a cargo-volume range from 246.7 cubic feet to 487.3 cubic feet. The passenger versions can be configured to carry 8, 10, 12, or 15 passengers comfortably. There is also a wide selection of “upfit” accessories to customize storage and cargo management.

The Transit line has also vastly improved its fuel economy, which played a large part in its selection for the Best Fleet Value awards. The available 3.5L V6 EcoBoost reportedly improves on the estimated highway mileage of the E-Series’ 6.8L V10 by 46 percent. The Transit’s standard 3.7L V6 outperforms the former standard 4.6L V8 in that category by 19 percent.

Other Ford vehicles that won their categories for Best Fleet Value in America are the Ford Taurus SE 2.0L EcoBoost for its sixth consecutive win, the Explorer XLT 2.0L EcoBoost for its third consecutive win, and the Expedition XL 2WD for its second consecutive win.

The 2015 Ford Fiesta ST has elevated Ford’s sporty little hatchback to a new level of performance. Its modified body kit, EcoBoost-powered four-cylinder, and sport-tuned suspension place it squarely in the hot hatch category and holds true to the spirit behind the Fiesta nameplate. Driving enthusiasts and hatchback fans around Houston: this is definitely a car that is worth checking out. Even with its performance-driven modifications, this compact hatch is easily underestimated, but only once. After seeing it in action or trying it out yourself, any notion of the Fiesta ST being an everyday average hatchback will disappear.

The Fiesta ST is built on a 1.6L turbocharged EcoBoost engine that registers 197 horsepower and 202 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine’s all-aluminum construction significantly reduces the curb weight of the car, and it is paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Everything about the chassis is tuned to optimize cornering performance. The twist-beam rear axle helps minimize understeer and increase rear roll stiffness, and the entire body is lowered by 15 millimeters from the base model to increase stability and responsiveness. Ford’s Torque Vectoring Control system acts similarly to a limited-slip differential by enhancing grip and reducing understeer while accelerating through corners. Braking is applied to the dive wheel on the inside of the turn so that more torque goes to the wheel with more grip.

The Fiesta has an available Recaro Package for its interior that completes the transformation from commuter car to performance hatchback. Partial leather-trimmed Recaro bucket seats hug the driver, keeping them firmly planted while flying through corners. Colored inserts in the seats with body-matching color selections and ST badging enhance the Fiesta ST’s racer look. Its Sony Audio system and MyFord Touch infotainment center round out the attractive interior.

The Fiesta ST is a great choice for tearing up the back roads around Conroe, Crosby, or Humble, and with the EcoBoost engine clocking a respectable 29 combined MPG rating, it can satisfy casual drivers, commuters, and performance nuts alike. The 2015 Fiesta ST starts at just $20,945 MSRP, which is tough to beat for a car of this caliber.
