"There's more to it than meets the eye," says Michael Quigley, the second generation to run the family business. "We are not simply a van converter. We are a worldwide, original equipment manufacturer who spends considerable effort on engineering to insure 4-wheel drive performance, parts serviceability and industry regulation compliance."
Since 1975 Quigley has engineered, developed and currently sells two different converted vehicles: one is the "Quadra- Version" based on the Ford Econoline Van and Club Wagon family using a coil spring front suspension and the other is the "Trailmaker" based on the Chevrolet and GMC full-sized vans using the Torsion Bar (IFS) Independent Front Suspension.
Designed to be easily serviced by most Ford and Chevrolet/GMC dealers, the genius behind Quigley is its use of easily obtainable, original equipment suspension and drive train components from major automotive manufacturers.
That is why you buy a Quigley!
Engineering Safety
Many people think that a 4x4 retrofitter goes to a salvage yard for parts, returns to an alley garage and slaps a four-wheel drive system under a van. Our approach is 180 degrees different than this perception.
Quigley's process involves hundreds of hours of engineering and development time and reflects the same concern for safety and quality. A classic example of this process in action was our work on the Ford van's fuel tank. We modify the tank to make sure there is enough clearance for the added components, and then we also tested the tank to insure its integrity.
The most important test was the vehicle crash test. This was to insure structural integrity. But before we could do the actual crash test, we had to determine a 'worst case crash scenario' and develop a computer model for the Ford-based Quigley 4-wheel drive systems. We then hired a NHTSA approved engineering firm to carry out the prescribed test and compare the results against the computer model in order to validate the program. Once confirmed, the same computer model was then used to certify the entire model line.
It is this type of attention to detail that makes the Quigley a unique product. Unique in that it is the only Four Wheel Drive Van and Cutaway that is part of the Ford SVE Ship Thru Program. While there are a number of aftermarket conversion companies that have what is called "Drop Ship", their product is not able to be re-entered in the Ford delivery system. According to Ford, "Drop-Ship is available to nearly any firm that has sufficient credit and no engineering review is required for this program. Quigley is the only firm in the United States that has earned Ford Ship-Thru process approval for four-wheel drive conversions on E-Series models and warrants all unique Quigley components."

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon
Fri, 27 Dec 2013What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback
Tue, Jun 9 2015The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:
Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 23 Sep 2013In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.
