Trucks : Car News And Reviews

The current generation Ford F-150 Raptor is already an amazing off-road performance truck. But as Shelby has been known to do, they couldn’t just leave things there, and decided to amp the Raptor up even more.

The U.S.-bound revival of the Ranger pickup truck is one of the most hotly anticipated Ford vehicles in recent history. Now it seems as if maybe we’ll be getting something even better – a Raptor version of the Ranger.

It’s not often that I stumble onto a vehicle I’ve never heard of. Apparently, back in 2008, long-haul truck maker International made a heavy duty 4×4 pickup like no other. The MXT (“Most eXtreme Truck”) was made for just a single year, and just 1,500 were ever built.

Ford is celebrating 100 years of pickup trucks this summer, and to memorialize this momentous occasion The Blue Oval has rolled out a series of updated F-150 offerings that demand to be discussed. For 40 consecutive years, the F-150 has been the best-selling truck in America, with 35 straight years of that earmarking it as the best-selling vehicle in the market… period. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come.

The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is a truly impressive off-road truck. One of the most critical components to its capabilities are its Fox Racing dampers. These shocks offer up an astounding 13″ of travel up front, and 13.9″

I’m a big fan of the current Jeep Renegade. It’s a spunky little SUV with distinctively Jeep looks, and it’s surprisingly capable off-road – especially in Trailhawk form. But one thing the Renegade is not is a Comanche – at least not until now.

Ford has unveiled a new version of the F-150 truck made specifically for police responders. The truck is based on the F-150 FX4 and is called the F-150 Police Responder. Ford says that the truck is built specifically with pursuits in mind, and is equipped with a special police brake system with upgraded calipers and friction materials. It has all-terrain tires, 18-inch wheels, and a special interior with cloth front seats with anti-stab panels, as well as a vinyl rear with an easy to clean floor.

Ford has donated lots of cars over the years to the Experimental Aircraft Association(EAA). The proceeds from the sale of these cool cars have gone to help entice young pilots to learn to fly. This year, rather than donating a Mustang, Ford has given the EAA a one of a kind Ford Raptor truck. The truck takes styling cues from the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, and was designed by Ford Performance and Design Manager Melvin Betancourt.

Not long ago, we talked about the new super luxury trim Ram Tungsten edition truck. If you want a new truck, but fancy leather interiors aren’t your thing, Ram is also getting a refreshed Ram 1500 Sport and refreshed 1500 Big Horn and Lone Star Black edition.

Ram trucks are best known for their rugged character, but now the company is taking aim at the luxury segment, with a series of ultra-premium trucks. Fresh for 2018, the Ram Tungsten Edition takes aim at the high end of the market, with sophisticated design touches both outside and in. The Ram Tungsten Edition pickups offer a number of slick Tungsten Chrome accents, prominently seen on the RAM grille, side sills, liftgate, and on its substantial wheels.

Growing up, my grandfather always had a penchant for the El Camino. I always thought mixing a car and a truck together was weird, save for the Subaru Brat because of the fun reverse-facing truck bed seats.

Do you like Land Rovers? Bet you haven’t seen one quite like this. What you’re looking at is a customized 1991 Defender which has been fitted with a 6-wheel drivetrain and a double cab. This rare Perentie Double Cab Defender is just one of 26 ever made.

Not wanting the Workhorse W-15 to steal all of its thunder, Havelaar Canada has announced it’s working on an all-electric pickup truck aimed at consumers. The truck is called the Bison and it has dual electric motors providing all-wheel drive.

Earlier this month,Workhorse unveiled its W-15 electric truck that was aimed at fleet and pro users out there. The truck had some cool features like 460 electric hp and the ability to hit 60 mph in 5.5

Shelby American has unveiled a new performance truck that wears the Super Snake moniker just like the hopped up Mustangs the company makes. The truck is called the Shelby F-150 Super Snake. The trucks are powered by Ford’s famed Coyote 5.0L
