When you peruse our online parts and accessories shop, you’ll find that we have Ford Genuine Parts as well as Motorcraft vehicle parts for sale. Below, we’ll compare these two options to help you understand the difference. You can get parts replaced on your Ford here at Sherwood Ford in Sherwood Park, AB.
Motorcraft makes both Ford OEM parts and aftermarket parts. OEM parts (Original Equipment Manufacturer parts) are the same parts found in a new Ford vehicle. Aftermarket parts are not made by Ford but are designed to be compatible with Ford vehicles. Motorcraft can make both because it is a division of Ford Motor Company.
Ford Genuine Parts makes exclusively OEM parts. That’s what the “Genuine” part of “Ford Genuine Parts” means. These parts are exact replicas of the ones that your new Ford vehicle comes with.
The difference between Ford Genuine Parts and Motorcraft is that Motorcraft also makes aftermarket parts, while Ford Genuine Parts does not. This means that Motorcraft parts come in a wider variety. It also means that if you’re looking for genuine OEM parts, you’re always safe with Ford Genuine Parts, and you may have to double-check when you buy from our Motorcraft selection.
