Ford CEO says rare earths shortage forced it to halt production
Ford CEO Jim Farley said that a rare earth minerals shortage is hurting production and caused the automaker to temporarily shut down one of its plants last month, according to an interview with Bloomberg TV. Rare earth minerals, which are a set of 17 metallic elements, are integral to automobile production, and enable features like windshield wipers, seat belts and speakers to function. About 90% of the U.S.'s rare earth minerals come from China, the world's largest producer of rare earths, according to data from the Geological Survey. China has leveraged its grip on rare earths and their widespread utility amid a trade war with the U.S. In April, Beijing announced greater export controls on the materials — a sticking point in tariff negotiations — along with other retaliatory trade measures. The controls require businesses to apply for a license to export rare earths, which U.S. automakers say they have been struggling to secure. Earlier this week, on June 11, following two days of discussions in London, U.S. and Chinese negotiators struck an agreement under which Beijing would resume regular exports of rare earths to the U.S. "The centrality of rare earth export restrictions to the trade deal underscores the criticality of minerals to the U.S. economy as well as the severity of the chokehold Beijing holds on global supply chains," policy experts from the Center for Strategic and International Studies wrote in a research note. "Hand-to-mouth" Farley said the slowing flow of the critical minerals into the U.S. has presented a challenge for Ford. "It's day to day," he told Bloomberg TV Friday. "We have had to shut down factories. It's hand-to-mouth right now." Ford did not immediately respond to CBS MoneyWatch's request for comment. Ford Chief Financial Officer Sherry House addressed disruptions caused by new restrictions on rare earth minerals from China at a June conference. "There are many components that rare earth minerals are in. And any of those that are coming from China require you to now go through export control," she said. "And so there's an additional layer of administrative process that has to happen." The process isn't reliable, she added, noting that sometimes it goes "really smoothly," while other times applications are not approved quickly. "Most frequently, it goes through; it just may take more time," she said. For now, Ford is able to manage the cumbersome process, House said, but added that it has the potential to become a "larger issue for us." Farley also told the outlet that he is optimistic about the developments in trade talks between the U.S. and China, and hopes that rare earth supply constraints will ease soon. He added that Ford is awaiting approval of applications with China's Ministry of Commerce to export more rare earths. "We have applications into MOFCOM and they are being approved one at a time," Farley told Bloomberg TV.

This ‘Build and Price' Tool for Truck Mods Is Fun Even if You Don't Buy Anything
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Every mainstream automaker's site has a 'build and price' tool that lets you visualize different models, trims, colors, and options as their prices are tabulated for your reference. There have been versions of this for aftermarket parts, too. But the new 'RealTruck Builder' is the richest and deepest I've seen yet. RealTruck is like The Home Depot of aftermarket truck parts. It carries good and decent versions of popular items for common vehicles. Obscure or specialized things like vintage JDM parts or long-travel Baja suspension are best sourced elsewhere. Truck bed caps, aux lighting, side steps, seat covers, and other crowd pleasers are well-stocked, though. So you probably already understand what we're heading towards: The builder allows you to input a vehicle's year, make, and model, and then lets you visualize various aftermarket parts on a 3D rendering of your rig. RealTruck screenshots Again, they don't have super-old or unusual cars, and the catalog is not that deep on every model. But it's not limited to Chevy Silverados and Ford F-150s, either. The Mercedes-Benz Metris van is in there, and so is the Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-5, Chrysler Pacifica, and a pretty long list of common imports and domestic vehicles. The 3D models are neat, too—you can open doors, open the trunk, put them in a variety of settings, and spin them around in 360 degrees. But the fun part is outfitting them with various mods, selectable from a menu on the left that also feeds you an add-to-cart button. Since, of course, the site's objective is to get you to buy stuff. Even the car interiors are rendered. RealTruck screenshot I think it's a cool idea, and pretty well executed. I've always liked that Tire Rack lets you call up an image of specific makes and models to let you see what different wheels would look like with your body style and color, and the RealTruck Builder is just a much more advanced version of the same idea. And it's amusing to play with, even if you're just looking for an ad-free 'game' to kill a few minutes in a waiting room with. Got tips? Send 'em to tips@

2025 Ford Explorer Active RWD First Test Review: Kinda Fun?
Pros Powerful turbo I-4, Strong brakes Predictable driving feel. Cons 300 hp contends with 4,000 pounds Squirmy feeling when stopping Heavy and slow steering There is logic in buying a bare-bones SUV. You get into a family hauler for cheap, and so long as you understand that, you'll most likely have a positive if uninspiring experience. After all, if the kiddos just make messes and your life hard, why not just stick with something that gets them from point A to point B as affordably as possible? The 2025 Ford Explorer Active with rear-wheel drive plays that role in the Explorer lineup. The 2025 Ford Explorer Active RWD is a basic, affordable family SUV with a 300-hp turbocharged engine. It offers decent acceleration, a comfortable interior, and good cargo space. While not sporty, it provides a solid ride and reasonable fuel efficiency, starting at $41,380. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next It's not fancy—at all—but there are glimpses of the better Explorer models in this basic SUV. After all, you get the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine used by other Explorers delivering the same acceptable performance and hearty exhaust note here, as well as the Explorer's fine driving manners, only for less money. Standard equipment isn't even penalty box level, either; heated front seats (10-way power adjustable for the driver) join Ford CoPilot360 active safety features, a power lift gate, tri-zone automatic climate control, a proximity key entry with keyless access on all four doors, and rear parking sensors on the included list. As in other Explorers using this same EcoBoost four-cylinder, the Active asks a lot of the relatively small engine. Even without all-wheel drive, the rear-drive Active (without many of the fancier features on the Explorer ST-Line, ST, and Platinum models) still weighs 4,274 pounds—a lot for 300 hp and 310 lb-ft to contend with. But acceleration, objectively, is relatively strong, with the Explorer Active reaching 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, a decent figure among midsize three-row SUVs. (A Jeep Grand Cherokee L, with a less powerful V-6, needs about 7.7 seconds to reach 60 mph, while the also-weaker-V-6-powered Kia Telluride requires around 7.0 seconds, depending on trim level.) Oh, and a bawdy engine soundtrack accompanies such full-throttle runs in the Ford. Thing is, that exhaust note is present even when you're only toeing the throttle pedal, so it helps to occasionally glance at the speedometer for confirmation of your actual speed. Going on sound alone, you may think you're in the Indy 500 even while calmly merging onto freeways. While the Explorer shrugs off its mass nicely at the track, its weight equates to so-so fuel efficiency that even the 10-speed automatic and its myriad ratios can't make up for. According to EPA ratings, the Active RWD delivers 20/29/24 mpg city/highway/combined. That's better by a couple highway mpg than the all-wheel-drive Explorer, the rear-drive version of Jeep's Grand Cherokee L, and the two-wheel-drive Kia Telluride, and it's slightly better than the four-cylinder-powered, front-drive 2025 Chevrolet Traverse variant. By those estimates, you can expect a range of 430 miles from a full 17.9 gallons of fuel. Just be sure to fill the Explorer with premium gas to get that 300 hp; the power drops with lower fuel grades. With that soundtrack, you'd probably expect the 2025 Explorer Active RWD to be sportier than it is. You'd be wrong. Sure, you can easily toss the Ford around thanks to its (unusual for the class) rear-wheel-drive chassis and low-grip Hankook Kinergy GT tires on 18-inch wheels, but good luck feeling when that grip is coming and going. The steering is heavy, slow, and numb—all things to expect from a family crossover but not what you'd expect from one with a name like 'Active' and the sound the EcoBoost I-4 makes. Hit the brakes hard, and you'll encounter dive and some squirreling, though the feel and response of the brakes themselves seems strong. We recorded a 127-foot best stop from 60 mph, shorter than the Jeep Grand Cherokee L but a few feet longer than the Telluride's best. Despite not performing like you'd expect of something with an 'Active' name, the 2025 Ford Explorer Active RWD does do a lot of SUV things right. It seats all occupants comfortably, you get up to 85.8 cubic-feet of cargo room with the second and third rows folded down, and even the EcoBoost engine can tow a 5,000-pound trailer. It is, in short, the same solid package as more expensive Ford Explorers, only with slightly less weight to carry around, fewer features on board, and a lower price. If you're looking for an entry-level SUV that can seat seven (six with the second-row captain's chairs like our test vehicle), the $41,380 entry price isn't exorbitant; even our test vehicle's $44,790 price tag lands below the average transaction price for a new vehicle in America today.
