Speech question

I am writing an informative speech for my college class and I chose my topic to be about Ford trucks. I am supposed to have 3 topics, I have two so far I just need an idea for the third. I've talked about the different models starting with the Model TT and going all the way to the present. My second paragraph is about the role it played in history like how Ford built trucks for the war effort and their factories building planes and other war vehicles. Any help would be appreciated.

How about something like brand loyalty or the f150 most popular truck or ford being associated with work trucks..
Ford has had a hard time with engines probably being the weak point....seems like they might have a handle on it of late..
The new 6.2l and the 6.7l are good engines. Previous attempts were a little painful at times..
I think ford is always trying to be the tech leader....The new aluminum body trucks is a good example.
​​​​​​​Hope this helps...

How about the creation of the assembly line how it changed the manufacturing process?

How about diesel emissions - back in the old days you did everything to get out from behind a diesel - today most people don’t have a clue if a truck has a diesel or not

And you can parlay that into the widespread acceptance of the "5 day workweek, 2 day weekend" championed by Henry Ford. He gave all his employees two days off per week to enjoy Ford vehicles while most businesses/factories worked 6 or 7 days per week.
