Trucks : Car News And Reviews

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.

Take a trip back in the wayback machine to 1976, back to a time when automotive companies loved to show off the capabilities of vehicles using outlandish stunts. In this vintage commercial for the Ford F100, they rigged up the pickup truck with a couple of propane torches then ran it alongside a bunch of balloons.

Yes, General Motors is bringing back the Hummer. But rather than the gas-guzzling beast of yore, the new Hummer won’t use a drop of fossil fuel. Instead, it’s going to be a pure electric vehicle, sold under the GMC brand.

If you want a big, heavy duty truck, the Ford F-550 is a pretty solid choice. But if you want a big, heavy duty truck that can also protect you from terrorist attacks, while living in the lap of luxury, you need the INKAS Sentry Civilian.

This is definitely one of the stranger custom vehicles I’ve seen in a while, but it’s actually pretty cool. To celebrate World Book Day a few years back, the guys at 7UP Argentina enlisted the help of an artist to create a custom car that doubles as a free library on wheels.

EV startup Rivian is readying its first production electric trucks, and they look quite impressive. Its R1T and R1S trucks will be available in a four-motor configuration, which has the potential to provide better traction control and off-road ability than traditional four-wheel drive systems.

Do you want an off-road truck that looks like an armored bank truck? Look no further than the Sport Chassis P4-XL. This beast is built on a Freightliner M2 Sport chassis, but heavily modified for luxury, comfort, and increased versatility.

If there’s one thing that Ken Block is known for, it’s his ability to drift through corners like few other drivers on the planet. For his Climbkhana Two video, Block got behind the wheel of his 914 horsepower F-150 Hoonitruck and drifted it through one of the world’s most dangerous roads.

When I first came across the images of this customized 1976 GMC Motorhome, I was reminded of the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle in Stripes. Perhaps, that’s because it shares the same bubbly body as the RV in the movie.

Ford has made no bones about telling us there’s a new Bronco on the way, and has been dropping hints about its boxy looks for a couple of years now. It’s going to be Spring 2020 before we get our first real look at the production version of the 4×4, but Ford Performance is giving us what might be the best idea of what the truck will look like with its Bronco R Baja truck.

We’ve spent a little time behind the wheel of the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 here, and it’s a pretty capable off-road truck. But one thing I’ve not really cared for since it first broke cover back in 2017 is the way its front end looks.

It hasn’t been all that long since Nissan revamped its TITAN pickup truck. The second-generation, full-size pickup debuted for the 2016 model year. But with tough competition from the likes of Ram and GMC, Nissan decided to go back to the drawing board and up their game for the 2020 model year.

The current lineup of Ram trucks are some of the best looking, most comfortable, and versatile pickups on the market. For the 2020 model year, there are two new cosmetic packages for those looking for a more sporty look.

If you like to off-road after dark, you need a good LED light bar. There are plenty of aftermarket options out there, and a couple of truck makers even offer them as a factory option. But I can say with a high degree of certainty that none of them are as bright as the one that rctestflight installed on a truck.
