Ford intends to take the new Bronco racing in a big way, and the company has unveiled three Bronco 4400 series race trucks. They will compete in the King of the Hammers off-road racing event that kicked off on February 2 and running through Saturday in Johnson Valley, California.

At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction on March 26, 2021, a very special truck will be auctioned for charity. The truck in question is the very first 2021 Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition VIN 001. The pickup is the very first of the 702 Launch Edition models that were produced.

The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is an off-road truck packing a 6.2-liter V8 Hellcat engine that makes 702 horsepower and 650 pound-foot of torque. The V8 is fitted with an 8-speed automatic transmission and features permanent four-wheel drive.

One of the only things that Ford Raptor fans have to complain about when it comes to the truck’s current version is that it lacks a V8. Ford replaced the V8 engine with an EcoBoost V6 several years ago that makes about 450 horsepower.

After much anticipation, GMC has finally revealed the design, specs, and pricing for its all-new Hummer EV. Unlike the gas-guzzling Hummers of the past, this truck is a pure-electric, mean, green machine. GMC is touting the Hummer EV as a “supertruck,” and given its impressive specs, tech, and capabilities, I think this is one case where the marketing isn’t hyperbole.

Many truck fans have never really considered the Honda Ridgeline to be a truck. It looked more like Honda took one of its rather boring SUVs and simply slapped a bed on the back. That’s all changing with the redesigned 2021 Ridgeline.

With the delivery of its first 2021 F-150 pickups just around the corner, Ford has shared official specs for the payload and towing capacities for the truck, and each of its six available engines. The entry-level version of the 2021 F-150 uses a 3.3-liter V6 engine offering 1,985 lb.
