Trucks : Car News And Reviews

For those of you interested in the totally new 2019 RAM 1500, we now have a breakdown of the pricing and trim packages you can get the truck in. Starting price for a base model quad cab Tradesman 4×2 starts at $31,695 before destination, but if you want to option up your Cowboy Cadillac, you’d better have deep pockets.

Ford has brought forth a lot of neat machines over the years, and has discarded quite a few as well.

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.

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.

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.
