1. Contour
   GT40
2. Taurus
   Probe

The Ford Taurus, introduced in the 1999 model year, was a big model for the company, selling more than 1 million vehicles in its first three years. Sales had been in decline for the past decade, however, selling just more than 28,000 units in 2018.

1. Fusion
   Mustang
2. Tempo
   Flex

Replacing the Taurus body style on the track, the Ford Fusion became the template for Ford NASCAR racers in 2006, the same year it was introduced. The Mustang replaced it for the 2019 racing year.

1. Silverado
   Ranger
2. F-150
   F-250

One of the vehicles not affected by Ford's decision to restructure its inventory is the F-250 pickup, which, along with its F-350 and F-450 brothers, falls into the category of "Super Duty" pickups that have higher towing and payload capacity than the F-150.

1. Ranger
   F-150
2. Ranchero
   N-Series

While the nameplate had been used on other vehicles previously, the small but mighty Ranger first became its own line of trucks in the 1983 model year. It was retired in 2011, but thanks to the new focus on trucks (no pun intended), the Ranger is back in the lineup as of the 2019 model year.

1. Ranger
   Mustang
2. F-150
   All the above

Gas/electric hybrid technology has come a long way in the past few years, and Ford plans to put that technology to the test by developing hybrid versions of many of their vehicles, including vehicles known for power (the F-150) and speed (the Mustang). The hybrids are expected for the 2021 model year.

1. Escape
   Explorer
2. Expedition
   Executive

The Ford Explorer started as a trim level for the F-Series, but became a model of its own in 1990, replacing the Bronco II in the 1991 model year. The vehicle also replaced the Crown Victoria as the automaker's law enforcement variant when the Ford Police Interceptor Utility, based on a fifth-gen Explorer, in 2013.

1. Flex
   Ecosport
2. Bronco
   Excursion

The Ford Flex was a full-size crossover SUV that could seat seven but didn't fall into the "minivan" category that many "hip" drivers wanted nothing to do with. Falling between the Explorer and Expedition, the Flex survived the culling and lives to drive another day.

1. Crown Victoria
   Edge
2. Spectron
   LTD II

The Crown Victoria was a full-size sedan that was part of Ford's lineup from the 1992 to 2012 model years. The rear-wheel-drive Crown Vic, in its Police Interceptor variant, was a favorite of law enforcement officers in the U.S., Canada and Saudi Arabia for many years.

   Explorer
2. F-150

1. Focus
   Fusion
2. Mustang
   Galaxy

Well, for those paying attention, this was just the process of elimination. The Mustang is the only passenger car Ford intended to produce for the United States, so of course, it's going to represent the line on the NASCAR racing car circuit. Still, it's got the horses!

1. Ranger
   F-250
2. F-150
   Transit

Sales of the F-150 have been so robust over the last few years — and by years, we mean decades — that the decision to focus primarily on trucks and SUVs became more and more attractive to Ford. F-150s have been the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. since 1986.

1. Aspire
   Granada
2. Galaxy
   Ka

1. Mustang
   F-150
2. GT
   Edge

The third-generation Mustang had fallen far from its heights in the 1960 — so far that Ford made plants to develop it as a variant of the Mazda MX-6. Hundreds of thousands of letters from angry fans later, the plans were scrapped, and what was to become the next Mustang instead became the Ford Probe.

1. LN7
   Milan
2. Monterey
   Sable

The Mercury Sable was produced, with a three-year break starting in 2005, from 1986 through 2009. Classified as mid-size from 1986 through 2005 and then as a full-size from 2008 to 2009, the Sable was the Mercury counterpart of the popular Ford Taurus.
