Why does Ford no longer make their own engines?

Ford Still Makes Engines… Just Not Like Before

To be clear—Ford hasn’t completely stopped making engines. They still design and build select powertrains, especially for trucks and performance models. But the era of in-house, engine-first pride is fading.
Instead, Ford is taking a hybrid approach: build what matters, buy what doesn’t, and focus on the bigger picture—electrification, digital tech, and global efficiency.
So the next time you pop the hood of a new Ford and see an engine you don’t recognize, just remember: Ford’s not lazy. They’re just evolving.
