M-153 is known as Ford Road for nearly its entire length, except for its westernmost portion where it splits from Ford Road and junctions with M-14. Named for the family that founded the Ford Motor Company, Ford Road runs from near Dixboro to the Dearborn-Detroit border, where it junctions with I-94 and US 12 just east of Wyoming Avenue.

A small portion of M-153 in Dearborn is a controlled-access expressway. Ford Road serves as the zero-mile line for the Detroit area's Mile Road System.
