DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going. The recall covers certain F-150 pickups from the 2014 model year. Ford’s F-Series pickups are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S.  Ford says in documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators that the downshifting can cause drivers to lose control of the trucks, increasing the risk of a crash. The recalls come after U.S. auto safety regulators in March began investigating complaints that more than 540,000 Ford pickup trucks from 2014 can abruptly downshift to a lower gear and increase the risk of a crash.

Earlier this month, Hurricane Beryl struck the Houston metropolitan area, which — as tends to happen after hurricanes — experienced a power outage. What was distinctive about this one was how long it lasted, with hundreds of thousands of area residents only getting service restored today. Over the weekend, the New York Times pointed to the benefits of having a generator during a crisis like this — and for some Houston-area residents, that generator is also known by another name. Namely, their pickup truck.

Though it was just treated to a rather comprehensive refresh for the 2023 model year that gave the compact crossover a totally new look, the Ford Escape has also received a few other notable updates since then, too. This includes the upcoming 2025 model year, which has thus far brought forth quite a few deletions, with minimal additions. Now, the 2025 Ford Escape is set to lose another feature that was previously present on select trims, too.

Fallston, MD

There’s nothing more exhilarating than the throaty sounds of a vintage Trans-Am racer carving its way through a road course as it downshifts into the legendary corkscrew at Laguna Seca Raceway. The scent of race fuel and rubber adds to the adrenalin rush that leaves an indelible mark on anyone who has experienced it. That passion inspired Steve Ramsey of Fallston, Maryland, to create that combination of vintage looks and potent performance in this wicked ’63 Ford Falcon GT. The Falcon’s diminutive size made it a perfect model to transform into a modern-day Trans-Am-style asphalt-burner by packing every inch of it with a speed shop’s-worth of go-fast goods and making it ferocious on the street, road course, or even the dragstrip, while delivering plenty of dependability.
