It comes to no surprise to our team at Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Garland, TX (serving greater Dallas, Mesquite, Rockwall, Rowlett, Richardson, Plano) that Ford trucks rule the road! For the 48th year in a row, the Ford F-Series is America’s best-selling truck – with more than 33 million sold since 1977*. This unprecedented streak also marks its 43rd year as the nation’s top-selling vehicle overall – underscoring its position as America’s favorite vehicle.
“The enduring legacy of the F-Series is not just a result of our relentless pursuit of improvement but also a reflection of the trust between Ford, our dealers and customers,” said Andrew Frick, President of Ford Blue “We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our customers and are committed to continuing to earn their business every single day.”
From F-150, that is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025, to F-600, F-Series’ success is built on Ford’s commitment to offer a diverse range of powertrains to meet every customer’s needs. No other manufacturer offers the choices Ford does. From gas and diesel-powered workhorses to the PowerBoost Hybrid and all-electric F-150 Lightning – Ford continues to lead the charge in truck innovation.
The 2025 F-Series lineup showcases Ford’s dedication to innovation, capability and advanced technology, including available features like:

Randall Reed’s Planet Ford 635 in Garland, TX had a wonderful time supporting our Veterans on their road to recovery thru Light Up To Live Foundation and their annual Clay Shoot at Elm Fork Shooting Range and the annual Golf Tournament at Cowboys Golf Club in Grapevine. The funds raised
Light Up To Live is a 501(c)(3) that is dedicated to helping veterans living with PTS, TBI, Pain, and Depression. They provide polychromatic light systems for veterans who apply and are approved via LightUpToLive.com and donate them to locations also helping vets, like our fellow Garland neighbor Adaptive Training Foundation (ATF).
Funds also support VETS, a non-profit exploring alternative treatment solutions. This wonderful charity and their supporters have also funded dozens of service dogs, including the pup, training and support. These additional treatment and support options are true life changers and even life savers for our American heroes, as well as their families.
This is the 8th year, Planet Ford 635 has proudly supported our military men & women via Light Up To Live. We also have helped fund transport for the many service dogs in training.

Randall Reed’s Planet Ford 635 in Garland, Texas (serving greater Dallas) is so thankful and proud of our Garland community! An idea for the Garland 9th Street Gym Project Showcase – Developing The Future to help support our kids and community turned into a 400 person event just six months later with 12 sanctioned matches through USA Boxing.
The event was hosted by Planet Ford 635, Encore Recyclers and GUNS & HOSES Foundation of North Texas! This month, we were able to present the check from everyone coming together to raise $40,000 to the boxers, coaches and karate team of the Garland 9th Street Gym Project in Downtown Garland at Fortunate Son Beer Garden and Pizza House.
The funds will support the gym mission and help provide nutritional snacks for athletes, provide up to date gym equipment, provide essentials for boxing and karate, provide travel costs for student athletes competing in Texas and across the US to win titles and to continue to grow the program for students and athletes looking for a place to call home. We will be back for the 2nd Annual event at the Curtis Culwell Center on June 6th, 2025 with a goal of doubling our donation.

It is no surprise, we love all things Mustang at Planet Ford 635 in Garland (serving greater Dallas, Mesquite, Rowlett, Rockwall, Terrell, Richardson Plano). Ford has announced, the all-new 2025 Mustang GTD – the apex of any Mustang ever engineered by Ford – sets a new performance bar with 815 horsepower, 664 pound-feet of torque and a top speed of 202 miles per hour, the most of any street-legal Mustang ever.
The certified horsepower and torque, along with the Mustang GTD’s cutting-edge active aerodynamics, carbon-ceramic brakes, and inboard-rear suspension with semi-active dampers are key elements as Mustang GTD prepares to deliver on the promise of an official sub-seven-minute lap of the Nürburgring.
“We’ve been laser focused since day 1 to make Mustang GTD the first-ever supercar with world-class performance and the soul of a Mustang,” said Mustang GTD Chief Program Engineer Greg Goodall. “GTD’s heart is its supercharged 5.2-liter V8, packing more horsepower per liter than the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.”
The supercharged 5.2-liter V8 improves on previous Mustang engines, benefiting from Mustang’s first-ever dry-sump oil system that can help keep the engine lubricated through sustained and demanding cornering.
That dry-sump oil system also enables a slightly elevated maximum engine speed of 7,650 rpm, up 100 rpm from the previous 5.2-liter V8 maximum. Revised intake and exhaust, a standard titanium exhaust, and a smaller supercharger pulley help achieve the engine output ratings.
Beyond the power needed to achieve its 202 mph top speed, Mustang GTD also features a Drag Reduction System that can change the angle of the rear wing and activate flaps under the front of the car to find exactly the right balance between airflow for speed and downforce for grip, depending on performance conditions.
“We’ve combined the work of talented engineers and designers, as well as an extremely capable driver, with Mustang GTD technology, power and aerodynamics,” said Goodall. “We can’t wait to deliver on our sub-7-minute promise to GTD customers.”

You also need to know — you’ll have to move faster, if you want a chance to buy a limited-edition Mustang 60th Anniversary package in classic Brittany Blue before the special color is gone again.
The Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package remains a limited-production model, with only 1,965 total being made available as a nod to 1965, the first model year of the car.
First offered in 1967, Brittany Blue joins the Mustang 60th Anniversary Package’s previously announced colors: Wimbledon White, Race Red, and Vapor Blue – but only as a small batch.
“Mustang has thrived for 60 years by taking risks and giving customers something a little bit different, a little bit more special than you’d get elsewhere. By dropping a color like this, we’re giving customers a chance to stand out even among the rarefied ranks of Mustang 60th Anniversary owners.”-Joe Bellino, Mustang brand manager
Available exclusively with the Fastback body and 10-speed automatic transmissions, the 60th Anniversary Brittany Blue also includes the 401A package, Active-Valve Performance Exhaust, Brembo brakes, 3.55 limited-slip rear axle, 12-speaker B&O sound system, and Space Gray upholstery.
Key features of the Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package include:
Exclusive 60th Anniversary badges on the fenders and trunk lid are a modern take on the 1965 Mustang cloisonné badges
Unique 20-inch wheels finished in Dark Gravity Gray with bright machined details featuring a Vermillion Red, retro-themed stamped aluminum center cap inspired by the 1965 Mustang center caps
Exclusive side graphics which can be optioned in either Iconic Silver or Vermillion Red and are reminiscent of Mustang’s original rocker panel stripes
New grille with a unique mesh design as a callback to the 1964 original made modern with silver-accented nostrils that are also functional air intakes for the 5.0-liter V8
Smoked housing of standard Mustang Nite Pony headlights allows silver-accented nostrils to stand out
Available in classic Wimbledon White, modern Race Red and Vapor Blue colors, and exclusive Brittany Blue
Iconic Silver mirror caps on Race Red, Vapor Blue, and Brittany Blue cars callback to chrome mirrors of old, while Wimbledon White cars adopt body-color mirror caps
