Ford Motor Co. announced Tuesday that Bill Ford is stepping down as chief executive but will remain chairman of the troubled automaker.

Alan Mulally, previously executive vice president of Boeing Co. and president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, has been named president and CEO at Ford.

about time. i heard he is one of the people that have been holding ford back.

so this a good thing? HOORAY! I like my Ranger and I wanna stick with ford but I'm itching for something else and Ford's been feeling sketchy lately

It's about time that sucka stepped down!!! Now Ford, like Volvo, can say built by aircraft engineers. haha

i agree get him out,maybe it is the right step,ford needs it right now

im surprised henry didnt come out of his grave, ***** slap bill and call him a f'ing jew (srry to any of our hebrew posters and ranger owners but henry was an anti-semite)

I would love to get another Ford after the ranger is paid off, but show any other Luxury SUV that still has a solid axle... :shrug:

Thats Saab, Volvo is owned by Ford lol... I'm interested to see what direction he takes the company in.

dang, 6 minutes late......

Ever read Henry Ford's compilation of articles from his Detroit newspaper? The book's called "American Jew", very very good read. Henry Ford was a filantropist whereas Bill is a capitalist. Henry Ford innovated and, more or less, sparked the birth of the automobile. One of the finest men of the 19/20 century. His great grand-children could use taking a age out of his book. The modern day world needs more Henry Ford's, he's so much more than automobiles. Do some research, he is one intriguing individual.

Good call! I got lay off the SoCo. I knew Ford owned Volvo. Just got Volvo and Saab's history mixed.

Ford is still feeling the effects of Jack Nasser (Nasser the slasher) and will be for a couple more years. Bill Ford was stuck trying to bring a company back, that was in the start of a downard spiral.

I don't care who is incharge bring me the south american diesel ranger and a new Bronco and Lightning

yeah this is interesting. Now if only Ford would wake up and fire Matt Millen we'd be even better! lol
