A Legacy of Manufacturing, Community, and Automotive Innovation

Ford Motor Company’s roots in Kansas City, Missouri run deep—stretching back more than a century and intertwining with the city’s industrial growth, workforce evolution, and regional identity. From early branch assembly operations to one of the company’s most productive modern manufacturing facilities, Ford’s presence has shaped both the automotive industry and the local economy.

In an era where environmental concerns and regulatory requirements are shaping the global automotive industry, Ford Motor Company has taken a multifaceted and long-term approach to emissions compliance and environmental stewardship. From rigorous reporting practices to ambitious carbon reduction goals, Ford’s efforts reflect both a legal obligation and a strategic commitment to sustainabilitymental performance is both a corporate responsibility and a contributor to a healthier planet.

When it comes to full-size SUVs, buyers are looking for one vehicle that can truly do it all — space for the family, strength for towing, comfort for long trips, and technology that keeps everyone connected.

At Chuck Anderson Ford in Excelsior Springs, MO, we see firsthand why more buyers are choosing the Expedition when it’s time to upgrade.

Whether they are big moments or simple routines, family holiday traditions create connection, comfort, and memories that last a lifetime. At Chuck Anderson Ford, we see firsthand how the holidays are about family, community, and gratitude.
