"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 C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

It's Official: Ford Names Mark Fields Its Next CEO
Thu, May 1 2014Alan Mulally, the man who transformed Ford Motor Co. from a dysfunctional money-loser to a thriving company, will retire July 1 and be replaced by Mark Fields, the current chief operating officer. During his eight-year tenure at Ford, Mulally gambled all of the company's assets on a credit line that kept Ford out of bankruptcy, then used a simple "One Ford" plan to change the company's culture. He was hired away from aircraft maker Boeing Co. in 2006 by Bill Ford, who at the time was running the company. Fields, 53, has been in charge of Ford's daily operations since December of 2012 and was widely expected to one day ascend to the top job. The change in leadership is taking place about six months ahead of schedule, but Ford said that was based on Mulally's recommendation that the new leaders were ready. "Alan and I feel strongly that Mark and the entire leadership team are absolutely ready to lead Ford forward, and now is the time to begin the transition," Bill Ford said in a statement Thursday morning. Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, is the great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford. Mulally, 68, was trained as an aeronautical engineer. He spent 36 years at Boeing - and was president of the company's commercial airplane division - when Bill Ford lured him to the struggling automaker eight years ago. Mulally overcame skepticism about being an outsider in the insular ranks of Detroit car guys by quickly pinpointing the reasons why Ford was losing billions each year. Mulally put a stop to the infighting that had paralyzed the company and instituted weekly management meetings where executives faced new levels of accountability and were encouraged to work together to solve problems. It took two years for Mulally to turn the company around, but since 2009, Ford has posted pretax profits of $34.5 billion and its shares have more than doubled. Fields was one of the executives passed over when Mulally got the top job in 2006. When he was named COO in 2012, Bill Ford said Fields' decision to stay at Ford and learn from Mulally showed a lot of fortitude and has made Fields a better leader. "There was a lot of speculation about whether he was capable. To his great credit, he stuck to it, he learned from it and showed tremendous fortitude in grinding through an incredibly difficult process," Bill Ford said. This marks the second change in leadership at the top of one of the Detroit automakers this year.
