Ford has been making significant strides to alter its fleet to fit customer need and desire. In recent years, it has become very apparent that many drivers prefer the larger size, capability, and versatility that both trucks and SUVs offer. This is why…

Here’s something you might have missed. As Ford Motor Company looks to transition its vehicle lineup primarily to trucks and SUVs while also developing electric and autonomous vehicles, the Blue Oval did something that might not make sense on the surface — it purchased an electric scooter-sharing company called Spin.
