Trucks : Car Reviews And News

The upcoming Ford Ranger Raptor has fans of performance trucks around the world excited. So far, the little beast hasn’t been confirmed outside of Asia Pacific markets, but Ford Performance chief engineer Jamal Hameedi thinks that the Ranger Raptor would do well here in the US as well.

If you want a new Tahoe with all of the latest Chevy truck updates you are going to have to wait a minute. Despite Chevrolet’s reveal of an all-new Silverado at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show, with a slated arrival date of late 2018, Tahoe and Suburban buffs are going to be stuck with what they’ve got on the lot for the foreseeable future.

The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit is the most iconic OEM motor vehicle meet in the United States, every year drawing hundreds of thousands of car shoppers and members of the media alike through its doors at the Cobo Center.

The hype is real. Chevrolet’s latest Silverado is here, and after 100 years of truck production GM appears to have gone all-in on the nation’s longest lasting pickup. Featuring a far more functional full-size truck bed, a fresh weight loss plan, different overhauls and engine/transmission combos, as well as a wider array of trim options, America’s bowtie brand has an impressive array of nifty new sales pitches.

Remember the step-side Splash edition of the Ford Ranger, with its bright yellow paint scheme and vibrant 90s era “splashed” decal accents? Yeah, forget that noise. None of that crap will be getting brought back on the reborn 2019 version of the pickup, and in their place buyers are sure to find a far more focused machine.

Ford truck fans in the U.S. have been clamoring for the return of the Bronco for many years. Sadly, we’ve yet to get a new model, or even a concept design to drool over. To tide you over, check out this unusual concept variant of the Bronco, which turned up back in the early 1980s at the Chicago Auto Show. The 1981 Ford Bronco Montana Lobo concept was an updated take on the compact pickup, doing away with the fully-covered bed, and going with an open-air seating area, complete with foam-filled seating benches on the sides of the bed.

Elon Musk has yet again taken to twitter to answer questions about what’s coming up from the electric car maker he helms. In a recent tweet, he provided some general insight into their product roadmap, including a promise that an electric pickup truck is coming “right after” the Model Y. I promise that we will make a pickup truck right after Model Y.

Hennessey Performance has announced that it will actually go ahead and build its awesome VelociRaptor 6×6 truck in limited quantities. Just 50 of the trucks will be built, and they’ll be available to buyers around the globe.

It’s been quite some time since the Chevrolet Silverado got a significant redesign, but the wait is nearly over with the reveal of the new 2019 model of Chevy’s popular pickup truck. Chevy says the new truck will get an expanded model range, more engine and transmission combinations, and new tech and convenience features.

I have no problem with trucks or guys hopping up their turbo diesel trucks for performance. I do hate it when they rig the truck to belch black smoke, annoying all the other drivers on the road, and unnecessarily polluting the environment.

The all-new 2018 Jeep Wrangler will get official any day now, and before you know it Jeep fans will be able to buy one. We also know that a Wrangler truck is coming, and some new rumors about that truck have surfaced today.

For fans of small trucks, the Ford Ranger has been a go-to for decades, starting with the F-Series truck in 1985 and then finally earning the title Ranger in 1982. It stayed on the market until 2012 here in the US.

During the recent SEMA 2017 show, Hennessey Performance announced an epic new truck – the $349,000 VelociRaptor 6×6. This truck is a heavily modified version of the new Ford F-150 Raptor. The modifications include heavy duty 20″ off-road wheels and tires, custom bumpers, LED lights, and most notably a duo of axles in back. Hennessey says that the 6×6 gains performance in sand and mud compared to the normal 4×4 truck.

The latest edition of the Ram 1500 pickup line comes in an absolutely fantastic new color scheme, called “Hydro Blue.” Based on the Ram 1500 Sport package, the truck features a monochromatic electric blue pearlcoat paint which appears not only on the body, but on almost all of the body trim. Beyond the matching blue grille, bumpers, and mirrors, there are just a handful of black accents which help to provide contrast and depth, including a black billet grille, black RAM logos, black projector lamps, and black racing stripes on the hood.

Jumping from the rugged Chevy Colorado ZR2 into the far larger and refined Silverado 1500 Z71 Redline was a wise decision. Although both trucks are quite different from one another in a myriad of ways, a line of GM comparisons and contrasts between the two demands to be drawn.
