Trucks : Car News And Reviews

A few years back, I had the opportunity to check out the Ram Rebel TRX Concept at the Chicago Auto Show Concept and Technology Garage, where I gazed upon its shiny red trimmings, and enveloped my ears in its impressive exhaust note.

A Jeep dealer bulletin has leaked that highlights a couple of new Gladiator pickups that are expected for the 2021 model year. According to the sheet, there are two versions of the Gladiator Willys, both getting black 17-inch wheels with mud-terrain tires, Rubicon rock rails, a Trac-Lok limited-slip differential, black exterior accents, and Willys decals and body-color fender flares.

RAM understands that there are many people out there who want to buy a truck but can’t afford the soaring prices of the latest and greatest models. When it rolled out its more expensive fifth-generation RAM 1500 pickup, it continued to sell the fourth-generation truck at a reduced price, under the moniker “RAM 1500 Classic.”

Many automakers have been moving out of states where unions are common, such as northern states and California, instead moving into southern states such as Texas, where unions are rare. Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk have announced that the location for the hotly contested Cybertruck factory has been chosen.

Ford has its all-new 2021 F-150 pickup hitting dealerships soon. The pickup didn’t change a whole lot in looks and style compared to the outgoing version, but a whole lot else has changed under its aluminum skin.

Ford Performance has announced three new accessory packages aimed at owners of its popular mid-size truck, the Ford Ranger. All three packages are for those who want more style and off-road capability. The Level 1 Kit includes: Off-Road leveling kit FOX “Tuned by Ford Performance” 2.0 Performance Series internal floating piston monotube front and rear shocks tuned by Ford Performance Engineers to optimize on and off-road performance Ford Performance 17-inch Dyno Gray wheels Ford Performance bedside graphics o Ford Performance windshield banner $2,495 MSRP before installation The Level 2 kit includes all Level 1 items and: Ford Performance engine calibration, which increases horsepower by 16 percent to 315 at 4,500 RPM and increases torque by nearly 20 percent to 370 lb.-ft.

June 25th, 2020 is a big day for Ford F-150 fans as the new version of the popular truck will be unveiled in full for the first time. Ahead of that official reveal, Ford is teasing with an image on Facebook that shows the 2021 F-150 pulling a boat out of the lake.

Back in the ’80s, one of the fastest vehicles from 0 to 60 mph you could get your hands on was the GMC Syclone truck. In an era where sub-five seconds times were mostly limited to exotic Italian brands, the Syclone was capable of blazing-fast acceleration.

Let’s face it. The Nissan Frontier isn’t exactly a modern truck. The current model been largely the same since it first came out all the way back in 2005. Nissan has indicated that a complete redesign is in the works for 2021, but the 2020 model does have a big difference that previews the new truck, and that’s its engine and transmission.

When the Jeep Gladiator came out last year, it marked the first time Jeep had made a pickup truck in decades. Until now, the most capable version you could buy has been the Rubicon. That’s still the case if you’re planning on crawling slowly over rocks and steep grades, but if you’re looking for a Gladiator that can tackle sand dunes, undulating hills, and dirt roads as fast as possible, the Mojave is the better choice, and overall, I think it’s the best Gladiator model you can buy at the moment.

Despite some pretty big challenges in recent years, automaker Nissan is still alive and kicking, and hopes to bring new buyers and loyalists back to the brand as it gradually redesigns its lineup. In the last year, we’ve seen a new Sentra, and know a new Rogue, Pathfinder, and Terrain almost sure bets for 2021.

Tesla’s upcoming electric Cybertruck drew both cheers and jeers when it broke cover. With its primitive stainless steel body, its looks have divided opinions on whether it’s something a first grader would have come up with, or an innovative new approach to vehicle design.

The Ford Ranger is my favorite small pickup truck on the market today. It has rugged looks, modern driving dynamics, and great power for its size. Now, Ranger owners can now get an added performance boost that’s officially sanctioned by Ford Performance.

The guys at Hennessey Performance recently started producing the first of their Maximus 1000 Jeep Gladiators, and to celebrate the launch, they released a little bit of video footage of the beastly custom truck taking to the desert.

The word “rebel” has some deep-rooted placements in automotive history as well as film (RIP James Dean). And, if I do say so, it’s an awesome name for a trim of a vehicle that does its own thing and really sticks out with personality and excitement.
