For decades now, Ford F-Series pickup trucks have been tagged as the best-selling vehicles in America. In fact, because of consistency of sales, Ford trucks have been given the 'King of the Hill' title in the auto industry. Further, with the shift of auto market to compact cars, Ford trucks have been the bread-and-butter of the company. However, said vehicles are now facing serious competition because of the uprising auto rivals.
Analysts estimate that F-Series sales make up half of the automaker's profits. Ford trucks have attained a reputation that is hard to topple. Yet, auto giants are persistent to steal a slice of Ford's market.
Based on the reported sales of automakers, market is moving away from trucks and sport utility vehicles. Additionally, the current market figures are in favor of Toyota and Chevy vehicles. To thwart this apparent shift, Ford intends to bank on 'Bold Moves'.
To defend its reign in the pickup truck segment, Ford sets forth Episode 17 of its 'Bold Moves' series. The latter is designed to fight the challenges of rival trucks so that Ford will stay as the 'King of the Hill'. The automaker will be utilizing powered Ford F-Series pickup parts including clean-burning fuel injected diesel engines.
Ford F-Series pickup trucks are sold for over 5 decades now. The most popular among the variants is F-150. It is the world's best-selling vehicle for 23 years. Moreover, it is the best-selling car in America for 28 years now and Ford is still counting. Nonetheless, how soon will victory linger?
"The documentary will present a picture of a company that is committed to revitalization through our people, products, improved quality and costs, and a laser-sharp focus on the customer," said Mark Fields, Ford's President of the Americas. "Each episode will provide evidence that it's not business as usual at the Ford Motor Company and that 'Change or Die' is not a sound bite. It's the way we're approaching our future."
Mary Lou Quesnell, director, Ford Brand DNA added, "Over time, the body of work we are creating will tell a compelling story about bold products, bold leadership and Ford's customer focus. We will provide both sides of the conversation and let America watch Ford's turnaround as it happens."
The King Of The Hill
I have visited most of the hill stations in India and find Shimla most fascinating amongst all.Shimla is the capital city of the state Himachal Pradesh.Situated in the lap of Great Himalyan Range Shimla was once 'summer capital' of India during British rule.It is located at a height of about 2200 mts. and draws lakhs of tourists from all over the world.The pine and oak covered mountains,water falls,temples and excellent panormic view makes this place a worth place to see.
When to visit- The excellent time to visit is between months of April and July.Most of the visitors from within the country visit durig these months as these are the peak summer months in India.Semptember to november is another good time to visit.During months of December to February the temperature may fall below the freezing point and heavy snowfall occurs.So,it is advisable to avoid travelling here during these months.
How to reach- Shimla is well connected with rest part of countries through road ,railways and by air.You can hire a taxi from from Delhi or Chandigarh or alternatively you may go through bus.By far I find railway as the most suitable and convenient means to travel.During my past visit to Shimla I travelled by 'toy train'from Kalka to Shimla.And believe me it was the most fabulous journey I have ever undertaken.Kalka is 90 kms. from Shimla and travelling through mountains,pines and oaks by a 'toy train' was an absolute pleasure.The views were just fantastic.
