Detroit Man Who Walks 21 Miles To Work Receives Ford Taurus

February 9th, 2015

DetroitMansTaurusThe team at Borgman Ford was touched — like those worldwide who’d come across the viral social media grassroots campaign — by the story of James Robertson, the Detroit man who walks 21 miles to and from work every day and has been doing so for 10 years. In particular, we loved Robertson’s reaction when he received a new Ford Taurus after a GoFundMe campaign collected more than $300,000 to support the 56-year-old man with the undefeated attendance and work-ethic.

“The reason I picked the Taurus, I remember the old Taurus from the 1980s,” Robertson said. “They never were this fancy or anything, but like me they have a strong heart from the inside.”

Gotta love the guy. Kudos to Robertson, and the young Wayne State student, Evan Leedy, who started the crowd sourcing fund. It’s nice to see social media used to make a difference! Read or watch the full story at MyFoxDetroit.com.


Ford F-150 Rescues Stuck Semi in Snowbound Chicago

February 9th, 2015

Screen shot 2015-02-09 at 11.41.10 AMAt Borgman, we love the Ford F-150, and there’s little wonder why. It’s built to take the beating winter regularly dumps on the midwest! Alex Nunez wrote a great article for RoadandTrack.com after receiving video evidence of Ford F-150’s award-winning “toughness” after a Chicago snow storm. The F-150 Fx4 EcoBoost towed the semi “like a tugboat pulling a grounded aircraft carrier to open water.” We thought we’d share this testament to our tough-built favorite truck.

Commercial Vehicle Spotlight: 2015 Ford F-150

January 7th, 2015

It’s smarter. It’s tougher. It’s better.

The patent-filled aluminum beast made by Ford has been the talk of the trucks for the past year. It’s no secret why. With ingenuity that’s smarter than before, the 2015 Ford F-150 is constructed for both top-of-the-class efficiency and performance. It’s perfect for any workload, fleet or commercial business. Upfits and available features make it ultra-customizable to your needs.

Screen shot 2015-01-07 at 11.06.59 AM

PERFORMANCE  

The military grade aluminum has shaved roughly 700 pounds off of the full-size truck weight and allowed for better aerodynamics, thus improving mileage to best-in-class. An improved power-to-weight ratio across the four engine lineup (3.5L Ti-VCT V6, 5.0 Ti-VCT V8, 2.7L ECO

BOOST, 3.5L ECOBOOST) gives turbo performance, but sips less fuel. Smaller engine, more power.

Tow more, and tow smarter with the 8-inch productivity screen, dynamic hitch assist, and smart trailer tow connector. And, it has a best-in-class 3,300-lb payload maximum.

Everything else just makes your experience easier, better, and more enjoyable. And there’s plenty of that, too…

INCREDIBLE FEATURE

Other luxurious functions include LED lighting throughout the vehicle, including head and tail lamps, side mirror, tailgate and boxed lighting for improved visibility at anytime. What’s in the back?

Tuff Turf Molebusters Wins Ford Grand Prize

December 18th, 2014

Screen shot 2014-12-17 at 12.27.02 PM

Being in the lawncare business has given Jim Zylstra and his family many stories to remember. There’s the time he thought he secured a mole in the back, and it crept under the driver’s seat. Or the time when his kids’ pet moles, housed in a dirt-filled aquarium, escaped to mom’s flower bed. And then there’s the story about winning a brand new Ford Transit in a national competition.

Jim began Tuff Turf lawncare 21 years ago from his parent’s basement. After only a year, he had 350 fertilization and weed control customers. After his acquisition of Molebusters in 2000, he combined the two services and began expanding. Now, he has a fleet of vehicles and a full staff, including technicians, mole specific technicians, salesmen, a service manager, an assistant, a horticulturist, and more. His Byron Center, Mich. business has grown exponentially, and in 2013, he even expanded to Detroit.

The 2014 Transit Means Business Challenge is a nationwide competition put on by Ford. Jim casually entered the contest while he was on vacation in August 2014. As an early riser, he was the only one awake at the time. He read an e-mail about the contest and decided to give it a shot. “It never even crossed my mind that I would win. I entered out of boredom,” he said, laughing.

By November, he received the news that he was a top 10 finalist­­, which was judged by a panel based on the originality and validity of the company, as well as the level of interest their story created. Natalie Olson, the communication and events coordinator at Ford, informed Jim that he had a good shot at making the top 30. Then, the probability heightened to making the top 10.

The grand winner was left up to the public. The judges stepped out, and the business with the most public votes was deemed the winner: Tuff Turf Mole Busters. “I wasn’t shocked when I received top 10 due to Natalie’s optimism, but to be the winner? That was a huge surprise,” said Jim.
