When natural disasters strike, and sometimes even before, Team Rubicon springs into action. No, this isn't a collection of Jeep Wrangler Rubicon owners. It's an organization led by veterans who step in to help communities around the world deal with natural disasters. And at least some of them will be driving new Fords thanks to a sizable donation from the automaker that includes 17 vehicles and a check for $2.5 million.
All total, Ford and its charitable Ford Fund group have invested $5.8 million into Team Rubicon, thus creating an initiative called Team Rubicon Powered By Ford. As for vehicles, the F-150 XL PowerBoost hybrid is the bulk of the donation at 10 trucks. For bigger missions, two F-350 Super Duty trucks are part of the fleet, each fitted with Ford's 2.0-kW Pro Power Onboard system. Three F-150 Lightning Pro trucks are in the group, and for accessing hard-to-reach areas, there are a pair of Broncos fitted with the Sasquatch package.
