Designers Dustin Shedlarski, Rachael Dillon, and Paul Mutter are a few of the creative minds behind many of these unique designs. Follow along as they share the inspirations and stories that drive their work, showing how these small details can forge a special bond between the people at Ford and our customers.

  • Low. Fast. Built with style. ???????? The Ford F-150 Lobo is a tribute to street truck culture, designed for the owners who want to stand out. By researching how customers were already customizing their trucks, our team was able to blend factory performance with authentic street substance. For lead exterior designer and longtime street truck enthusiast Josh Blundo, working on the Ford F-150 Lobo pickup was a dream. “To have the opportunity to play a role in this revival has been as big a thrill as driving one.” Hear from the team behind the V-8 street truck.
  • Real interns. Real work. Real impact. You’ve heard the old joke about interns picking up coffee orders. Coffee IS important, but how many interns can say they worked on the next-gen Bronco?

For veterans building their careers at Ford, that begins with a shared commitment to looking out for one another. “I feel at home when I come to work,” says Bryan Nichols, regional security manager and U.S. Army veteran. Hear directly from Larry, Bryan, and other veteran team members about how they found their path and community at Ford.
