Ford CEO Alan Mulally - Interview - Jay Leno's Garage

It is good to see Mr Mulally again, I worked at Boeing the same time as him on the 777 program. I happened to to be a Ford man ,couldn't ask for a better person to run the company
Mulally was great for Ford. But it's a shame he didn't get the CEO job at Boeing. Instead Boeing got Jim McNerney who couldn't care less about anything other than stock price and quarterly earnings, and the employees be damned.
Same as me, Fred, I loved him as the President of Boeing Commercial. He should have been CEO.
Ford needs him again!!!
Ford should hire mulally back❤❤FOREVER
Glad I stumbled onto this interview. Alan has been a long time friend of the family beginning with my sister who was his engineering aide when he started at Boeing. Brilliant man and never acted like he knew everything. When he didn't know he would be honest about it, but would promise to find out
He seems like a classy, genuine guy with good people skills.
Awesome. A class act. I have always loved A true American Icon. Henry was a true legend in my book. Glad to hear they are doing so well. They took zero money from the govn't during the auto bailouts. Big ups to you Ford.
I met this icon once when he was in India before moving on from Ford. What a superhuman 🙏
thats how Henry Ford attracted workers. Good conditions, good pay, and rights for the individual worker. He wanted his own workers to not only buy the cars they were making, but to also be proud of their creations
Even if you hate Ford or just don't appreciate cars, this video still has a lot of meaning and many lessons to take away from it. Many businesses and corporations could learn a lot from Ford's history.
True leader.
Get ALL involved and not just the accountants.
Jay's garage floor is cleaner than some people's kitchen floor! I love the idea that focusing on 1 brand is the key to quality & sustainability - Ford FOCUS! No pun intended. Great work Mr. Allan Mulally! You're so steady, & smart. Dag you're smart! Great personable & smart guy!
I just can't stop looking at that GT40, man what a good looking car.
As a Boeing employee, I can say this: 'we miss you Alan and especially now, we could use your wisdom and guidance."
2020 here. In what sort of trouble was Boeing back then ? 😂😂😂
@@Peter1Europe 2023 here… and why does Boeing still find itself in trouble :(
@@Peter1Europe 2024 here, and Boeing even went to more trouble
He should comeback ❤❤❤
Among the multiple things I like about Jay Leno is his appreciation for Ford products as I see too many famous people look down their noses at Fords and only think about GM products.
Alan Mulally was the exact person Ford needed to turn it around. He brought the idea that made the 777 so successful, "Working Together", to Ford and that shows no better than at the meeting with the colored charts. The managers were so afraid to tell what was actually going on that made everything green, when that one brave manager put his red and Mulally started clapping, the other managers thought that was the signal for the goons to come haul him away because he was fired, but instead opened the doors for no one to be afraid to ask for help because everyone was there as one team. Sadly the Working Together theme wasn't repeated on many more Boeing aircraft and it shows. One part of Working Together was the main requirement to always think of the customer when making a decision. Many years after the first 777 was delivered, the planes flew with the words "Working Together" painted on the side of every one delivered.
Jay needs to keep the Ford GT out of the shot, I'm finding it hard to focus on what they're saying with that beast in the background.
mikemoair mikemoair You're doing it right in my book
Nickolas Little how funny ... I need to rewind a few times due to lose my mind looking that GT40, then I read your comment I thought it was really spot on .... well said !
YOU'RE RIGHT. I COULD HARDLY LISTEN TO THIS IMPORTANT INTERVIEW MY SELF. I KEPT STARING AT THE LEGENDARY PHENOMENAL MONSTER IN THE BACKGROUND. NICE THOUGHT . I AGREED.
Zissou Moonshot Z06!
Alan Mullaly is probably the best leader of a company in the world right now. Ford employees are so loyal to him and to Ford, and that's something GM employees don't have for thier CEO. Just look at how many people have left GM.
I love fords I hope their company stays strong. Go America!
Avatarblackwolf Wrong.
Lol built in Mexico
You must not have owned the 5.4L that they screwed there customers over with..Want a dependable truck..Chevy, i own a f150 and theres no comparing to the chevy 6.0L! really theres not! wether you hate chevy or not have to give credit were it is do!
@@martybrowning6702 they haven't made the 5.4 in 8 yrs .I have had 2 with the echoboost they are great my 2012 150 miles no problems .and I have a 2018 18 thousand miles no problems. I know it's not many miles but they say most problems will occur in the first 5000 miles.
It’s all about the leader. You can have the best product in the world but suffer from bad leadership and totally fail anyway. Seeing this makes me happy.
I am just captivated by his show as it's so remarkable - fun, easy to watch, lots of laughs and great information and insights about cars, yes, but especially as he applies technologies like 3D printing.
Wow, great interview. Allan Mulally seems like a really nice, smart, down-to-earth man. I'm proud I've owned only Ford vehicles.
Built FORD Tough!
Allan Mullaly was already talking about vehicle to grid charging back in 2014....he knew the future. He should still be leading Ford...
I have FORD stock. I believe in Ford as a product and a company.
These days, Mulally is thanking the stars above he is not at Boeing...
Boeing needs him back
I love FORD!!! May God continue to bless this company!!!!!!
I'm a GM man but Ford had the best CEO in bill ! They have lost track again! Ford ranger a rebirth as a 39 grand working man's entry truck? Hope they do better with bronco!! It's looking good so far!!
very nice car in the world.ford car is a ston-brokan .I used Ford car like feel good.salyut to Alan and Hendry Ford.🙏🙏👍👍
thanks Jay for doing this interview shows how hard ford has worked to come back from the grave and your understanding of whats going on in the car world my dad was a ford guy to .
Jay Leno worked for everybody when he was a kid, lol
Ahahahahaahahahah so funny that :D
thats how he affords all his cars
He was a kid for a looooong time.
Notice,,,,, you said "worked" for. That's why he's so successful today!
Mr. Mulally is not only a great leader but it seems to be a very nice person.
...just finished this book. Jay's right; it's an awesome read. And an amazing peek into the incredible turnaround to Ford...
I am so glad you brought this story to us!
Ford needs to bring Allan back. He really turned that company around.
If only he wasn’t fully retired. Mulally retired on his own terms. But Boeing shouldn’t have passed over him twice for CEO. That’s what made him available for Ford.
Mr Mullaly is a genuine business builder that should run for POTUS. Smart, articulate, passionate with integrity, team-orientation and pride in the American worker
Jay! You should do another sit down with a CEO for 2020. Would be great to see somewhat of an update directly from a company such as Ford.
I want jay to bring in Christian von koenigsegg and interview him and look at the agera r/ s
Alan Mulally is so brilliant and well spoken. CEO's deserve all of the money their paid!
Lol! he deserves the same amount of money that the people in the factories are being paid since it's a team effort.
Yeah, you're 150 years late though. Communism is dead.
+Eamon Hillis I don't think you get, it's okay if you're a little slow.
Even if every employee gave 10 cents of their pay stub, or 1% of the salary workers he would still make well into the 200k a year mark. But since it profits into the BILLIONS I think his small percentage of pay he gets for making big executive decisions is fair. Try and get the guy putting a jig onto a wheel to place a torque gun onto it and press a button to run a multi billion dollar company, won't end well.
Don't forget that CEO's don't really pay taxes the same way normal people do))) They get paid in bonuses, stock and options. This means that they only pay 15% capital gains tax, no matter how many tens of millions they make. The rest of us have to pay progressive tax. So, yes, they are way overpaid
Its nice to see them bring some of the global models over. The Euro version of the Focus, and them bringing back the Mondeo (Fusion). They haven't done that since the Contour days. Now that the Crown Vic is dead, that should open the door for the Falcon. Gotta give Ford some respect in that they do build their cars here and not in Canada or Mexico like the other "domestic" brands. Plus with them never taking tax payer money for bailouts...my hat is off to them. Way to go guys.
One of the best car shows on youtube!!
I have a 2010 ford ranger pickup 4+4 . And it’s amazing.. now 121,000 miles and I did nothing but change the oil as it should be . But it’s great . ice cold air conditioning. Super heat when it’s cold . no body rot . It’s still it drives sweet. Oh I was a life time Chevy guy but they all rotted in the ground before my last car payment .
What a great interview!
I am proud of you guys Jay. Your Ford Gt is AWESOME. I cannot thank God enough for my beautiful friends. Your F1 is BEAUTIFUL too Jay. All of your cars are beautiful.
I'm honestly sorry Ford cant make cars like the 67 Cobra, but that era has long passed and we've gotta live with it.
they were in trouble just prior to the crisis, and had their business already trimmed and streamlined when the collapse happened. So it kind of was a blessing!
This guy should inspire much more managers around the world...
I know a person who's worked as a contractor for GM, Ford, and Chrysler. He says FORD has the best setup and standards by far.
That was a really great episode, great minds talking it up and sharing their knowledge and thought process with us. I'm liking Ford more and more now
love jay leno's garage.
Jay has the clout to pull in just about anybody who is anybody in the car business to come and talk in his damn garage. These guys are busy and their time is literally money, just impressive.
Would love to see the Ranger back in the US. They are great trucks and a revamped Ranger would be a top seller no doubt.
My '86 was an awesome little truck, sold it at 204k miles 8 years ago and it's still in use today as a ranch rig. My '06 is sitting just shy of 150k and literally runs like new. It's the Swiss Army knife of the car/truck world and unkillable as long as you somewhat take care of them. Too bad newer trucks keep having to get larger, uglier, and more expensive.
I would love to see a Ranger platform with a small, efficient turbo diesel capable of 50+mpg. Not everyone needs a soot belching dually, able to tow a house, with enough hp and torque to compensate for even the smallest of things. Most really just need a pick-up for the occasional trip to the big box store. Listen up American manufacturers.
The problem is that we like our vehicles to be needlessly large. Even the new Subarus are the size of an original Ford Explorer. One of my co-workers has a Tacoma (around '07, I think) and it's bigger than my friend's '93 F--150. The last year the Ranger was in production they only sold something like 76k of them, vs. over half a million F-150s. I've looked at maybe buying a new F-150 with the base V6 but they're just so big and impractical.
+Travis Jones they can do so much with the ranger if they brought it back I see can see a mini ford raptor with the Eco boost v6 or a turbo diesel like you said all in the ranger package with the locking diffs and fox shocks
The Brnco is coming back soon 2020..
I think the Ford GT is the most beautiful car Ford's ever made. Maybe the the most beautiful sports car ever made. It borrows the best aspects of the original and improves on it. The interior is wonderful too. It's nice to know that modern American cars can still be beautiful
the Ford GT is probably the best looking car in history.
Certainly in the Top Five of all time. Such comparisons are often a matter of taste and it's reasonable to suggest there have been some other magnificent looking cars by other manufacturers, but there can be no denying the Ford GT is right up there among the very best, no doubts. A stunning looking car.
My vote is the 1971-1972 240Z
@@ivanjulian2532 For functionality and practicability the 55 chevy blows it's light weight doors completely off.
@@grex1242 whenever I hear someone use the term "blows it's doors off" I know I'm listening to someone not worth listening to.
The difference between an engineer and an MBA is mind blowing
I'm a huge Leno fan, and even bigger Ford Panther platform fan. Jay, how would yo like it if your beloved "performance cars" started down the path to front wheel drive? Guess how I feel about the full size Fords, including Explorers, going to FWD? This has disgusted me like nothing else. Better marketing could have kept the Panther platform rolling for three more decades! The more I think about it, the more angry I get... But, thanks for all you do in preserving all these icons.
I fail to understand the benefit of front wheel drive anymore. Oh, shorter drive shaft to save a pound. The End. Personally, it's rwd, awd, or don't waste my time.
Fwd are useless in snow, too, and I can prove it with both my winter beaters so there goes that theory of them being awesome after a snowfall. -_-
To answer your question, the average consumers who don't know better would love the change to FWD Fords since they're eating up the Eco technology and there's so much emphasis on fuel savings... even for high performance cars... which is dumb because the way I see it, if you're in the market for a lot of power and $100k to spend, I doubt your primary concern is gas mileage. Look what happened to the new Ford GT - not everyone's happy about it being V6. It's rumored in the future there'd be a v8 option (which it should've been as an option to begin with!) and would've been fair.
Look at that GT. That thing pulls up behind you and it just looks ALL BUSINESS. Love to own one someday.
Jay is interviewing my automotive HERO….
Thank you, truer words are hard to come by.
interesting to see some of Henry's ideas still very much appropriate today
This guys should be running the country.
Ford builts the best cars greetings from germany
That coming from a German hehe, tho i do see alot of Fords over their.. Hello from N.Y..
Are you aware of how deep Ford is invested in Germany?
CrystalWhiteLX50 I wouldn't believe you but I used to date a German chick and her uncle, who works for Ford in Germany, breathes, eats, and sleeps FORD.
SO true - Ford is awesome!
Ford-Werke AG later Ford-Werke GmbH is what Ford is called in Europe and elsewhere in the world not called (English) North America and Australia. Although Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited doesn't produce anything in particular any longer.
I used to own a 1992 Holden Commodore VP and I had it right up until April 2011 last yr and it was my first and only car I have ever owned since I got my Probationary plates and was still driving it when I got my full-license and it was the best Commodore I've ever owned. Anyway, I'm not sure but I was told by a friend that the older Commodores used Nissan parts.
Damn that GT is one of my all time favorite car designs.
Why is there a cable hanging from the hood of the Ford GT? I was looking for a Ford GT episode of Jay Leno's garage but sadly there is none..
This is an important interview. You should be able to get rid of that buzz in the audio by sampling a second and filtering it out.
I agree completely. They should do with that car what GM did with the Holden Commadore (Pontiac G8). Been following that car at the Australian V8 Supercars series. Great looking cars, and should be way more fun to drive then the Crown Vic.Come on Ford, bring it stateside.
Love The GT and yet I agree,the Pantera is sweet love the flared out look on it to.
Again GT is a Beast.
Do a google image search of Ford Falcon Australia (There's a 4 door version and a sporty pickup version). I saw those over there on a trip. They don't even need to change the design... just sell them as is in the US.
I made a lot of money buying Ford for a dollar when the recession hit, thanks Mr. Mulally!
Jay hit the nail on the head with this one: 05:40
Since the 1970s, I've yearned for a plug-in gas electric hybrid. I wept for joy when Ford came out with the CMax Energi. After decades of being ignored in favor of horse power addicted Americans, it's so great to get what I want for a change.
COME BACK TO FORD Mr. Mulally!!!!! Save my gorgeous
Fusions and Tauruses PLEASE!
Yeah. Sadly Ford is struggling again. Mismanagement and several CEOs resigned after Mulally's exit at Ford.
I wish I could just sweep the floor in Jays Garage.
Well thats pretty interesting. I should have refined my statement from earlier because I have never owned any ford product besides the F150s. I know that they are the lifeblood of Ford, regardless of what Alan Mullaly may say. They are the number one selling pickup in the USA and have held that title for a very long time. Manufactured in Kentucky, Arizona, and Michigan. In my opinion ford should keep everything in house just like they have done with the outstanding F150 line up.
Cool video. The only question is, Why is the name "Mustang" in the title of this video??
Alan should teach Business Management 101
Great leadership!
Hit the refresh button, the magical thing about America is, when we need a New "Focus" we all come together as one team. Keeping us together may now be possible.
As someone so into technology the inductive hum and soft AGC pumping in the two lavalier microphones is simply overwhelming! Please get a better audio guy on your crew and let him get you some better equipment or learn how to use manual mixing and/or transformers for splits!
A 2017 Ford GT is a car I would love to own. Anything is possible within reason. Nice video.
Alan Mulally would make a great American President.
It would be nice to see more American companies to care about their employees like they used to
Thank you Alan, for saving Ford.
Can you imagine how fast the ford gt would be if you install whipple or kenne bell supercharger on that 5.4l
Is there a video of the car w/drive ?
Why doesn't ford continue to build GTs? They are sweeeeeeet!!
it was to celebrate ford 100th birhday to show theire technological know how
and now it woudnt pass legislations.for example lights are to low
the questions is why wouldnt they resurect Detomaso Pantera as corvette rivall
***** I would like shelby cobra as corvette rival, more than detomaso :D
Ford GT is coming back in 2016, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of FORD GT 40 victory at lemans, Ford only makes a GT on special celebrations.
Part of the selling point of the Ford GT, like the Boss 302, is the fact that they promised it to be limited run to keep it collectable for the future. Had they continued to build more of them past the 2 years, they probably would have been hit with lawsuits...
Uriah Bleue
Some of the rumors of that special edition have me a bit worried though. I've heard crazy things, including an idea to make it a hybrid... I hope Ford does the right thing and throws in their most bad-ass V8 though...
the best car ford ever made
Agree with this. Mually was the CEO that saved that this nameplate & family brand.
from extinction coming from debt to fleet to retail than business corporate structure
He saved the nameplate by literally mortgaging the Blue Oval symbol as one of the assets used for collateral to get a $30B loan to refinance their debt.
ford needs to bring back the old school legend's like the torino, maverick, galaxie etc.
I love the way the 2013 Fusion looks. I want one! XD
Don't get me wrong - I LOVE my 1988 BMW 750iL. At the same time. the two things I can't STAND about BMW: 1) BMW drops support of vital parts for their cars a few years after it goes out of production, and 2) the parts that DO survive are horribly overpriced. Meanwhile you can STILL order the ORIGINAL AM radio for the 1964 Mustang direct from Ford. I'm impressed by that.
Secondly, BMW is horrible at supporting engine upgrades for their cars. American enthusiasts have been able to order crate engines from Ford, GM and Chrysler for DECADES. A rebuilt M70 V12 is more than $10,000! That's a rebuilt engine, because BMW doesn't build the original 1988 to 1994 M70 V12 anymore. Even if I needed to replace a 189 hp 2.5L M50 inline six, those engines cost $7,200 new from BMW, and you don't get one single horsepower over stock. $7,200 for 189 horsepower. Meanwhile I can order a brand new 412 horsepower Coyote 5.0L V8 engine from Ford starting at $6,500. Seriously? $7,200 for 189 horsepower or $6,500 for a 412 hp V8 from Ford? And I get to keep $700 in change?
What about the GT 40 in your garage? I looked through your vids to see about the one in the background.
what about it? yeah it is a gt40.. now what?!
Just a Ford GT not GT40. That one is newer and it's not 40 inches they raised it to 50 I think. Nothing special about it. A lot of others just like it. It just happens to be Jay Leno's GT.

Great interview
you should reinvent the crown vic I loved my 92
Ruger Rocker I feel like a dinosaur loving big sedans and not believing in these boxes with not much room
Loved my indestructible Town Car.
Ford sells a tremendous amount of cars in Europe. Not because their cheap, it's because they are good cars. Many Europeans view Fords as a domestic vehicle. The US builds fantastic cars at a fraction of their German & British counterparts.
great interview tks Jay
In comparison to other countries, the US's tax on imported vehicles is significantly lower. In China the import tax can exceed 200% of the msrp. For example, a BMW 3 series starts at around $32,500 in the US, but will cost well over $100,000 USD to purchase in China due tariffs and additional taxation.
As for assembly, no car manufacturer builds 100% of the vehicle. Most of the car is built by strategic supply partners and finally assembled in a plant, whether that be in the US or elsewhere.
Great read. Highly recommend it.
I am willing to admit that out Holden Cruze, Barina, and Colorado are developed by Chevy, but they are built for Australia IN Australia. And the Commodore was completely developed and built in Australia. It even uses and Australian engine. GM liked the Commodore so much, they decided to export it to the US as the Pontiac G8. And then they decided to build the Camaro on the same wheelbase. And the new Camaro is the first Camaro to do what it was introduced for: outsell the Mustang.
It's interesting that this was from 2012 and ford foreseen the electric car future but has only now really designed a full EV that will be sold in 2021 at the earliest.
Any vehicle can get 30mpg.... The truck has plenty of uses and they still produce it out of country. So to say it doesn't have a place, only means it doesn't have a place for you. Not everyone has 25-30k to spend on an F150. But spending 18-23k on a smaller truck appeals to more people. Then again most people are living beyond their means but I don't and now I can't buy a new Ranger because Ford wanted to make cutbacks.
Why not build them here in Canada? We buy a lot of Fords. I'm currently considering one for my next vehicle.
The 67 Cobra wasn't made by ford, it was made by Carroll Shelby in partnership with ford
I had to quit the Ford dealership heavy line mechanic roll in 1995, the dealer in Santa Barbara was cooking the books.
I was tired of being shortchanged on hours, and made to repair all the stupid truck engines that were designed to fail.
Working for myself really was easier, at least being honest with customers was possible.
Car companies don't "lose money" . They just don't make the money they " projected". Companies aren't in business to lose money. When a CEO says they lost money ask them what they're bonus was this year.
Eco boost and they do have hybrids. Ford GT is a very good looking car and the quality is amazing. The starter switch went out on JC's car and they fixed that.
who would dislike this
